These stupid sportless pitches has made Indian Domestic Cricket weak over the years. No surprise why Mumbai (which always had selfish individualistic record addicts) become champions on the basis of piling huge 1st innings totals rather than winning test matches with allround efforts. That's why India had so many draws & defeats in the past compared to victories. But now with Ganguly and Dhoni things are changing.

go and check the stats .. majority of the wins of mumbai are after 4 innings .. and just to let u know. both teams have equal oppurtunity to make 1 st innings total .. also ganguly n dhoni are indians born and played on indian pitches, sorry if its not so ..

After his knock against Mumbai, there will be no doubt on his ability against any kind of attack. Yesterday Jaffer made 301. But we know he always struggles against good seamers.

Chee... Rahi looks like a lizard. I don't think he can play international cricket. Don't count on these domestic records on dead pitches.
If Sachin has passion of cricket to play till retirement age of 58/55 as like in JOB,he can retire from TEST/ODI and play in Domestic.If he wanted to build on his individual image,sachin is not going to retire from TEST/ODI? Any comments on this?

Currently he is playing good. May be we will see him in age of 40 also.
