Swan not a quality bowler
by arvind r on Feb 18, 2009 06:28 PM  | Hide replies

I could not beleive that chanderpaul is still playing test cricket.He is not it to be even in any form of the game. Boring players to watch:

1)Chandepaul
2) Dravid
3) kallis
4)Colling wood.

I am not sure whether Collingwood is of the same level as other three, but all are quality cricketers.

Chanderpaul is the most underrated cricketer of the world.

Yes, but Laxman is an Indian, cricket in West Indies in much less popular than cricket in India. In Caribbean Islands Football and Basketball has overtaken cricket in popularity.

Yes guys, please ignore my clone.He doesn't know anything about cricket or tennis.Federer's series of defeats have left him seriously mentally disturbed.

Murray is just started. After sometime Verdasco, Tsonga, Djkovic everybody will thrash Nadal. Recently Nadal survived a thrilling encounter with Verdasco in Aus Open.
It will not happen again and again. He has said "I am tired now."
Just imagine the fitness level of Federer who is still reaching in finals of grandslams.

Sidhu is better than Benaud!
by Anuraug Rathor on Feb 18, 2009 06:01 PM

Richie Benausd retiring,ehile sad is still not such a big deal.Actually, Navjot Singh Sidhu is the best commentator of all time.His English is better than anyone else in the wrold and he makes the commentary more interesting than the match.Also Mandira Bedi draws the crowds to watch TV, it is better to watch TV for her commentary than even going to the stadium
