Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting
by Chaturchuramoni Chatterjee on Jun 09, 2009 02:19 PM

Even after winning World Cup 99 and 16 consecutive tests, Steve Waugh was stripped of the ODI captaincy and was dropped from the Australian ODI side permanently after just one bad VB series in 2002.

Do you thinl Ponting deserves the same fate, after continuous bad performance of the Aussie side in ODI and t20 formats since January 2008?

India cannot digest the Sydney defeat the way Australia handled the 2001 defeat and moved on to greater things....

Payback time Ricky
by VIJAY MADDURI on Jun 09, 2009 01:38 PM  | Hide replies

I distinctly remember the comments Ricky Ponting made about India and Pakistan getting knocked out of the last world cup in the first round by Bangaldesh and another minnow. He said "India and Pakistan didnt deserve to make it to the next round and he had no sympathies for either of these teams". Now that his time is kicked out, he says he doesnt know why they lost. What goes around comes around Ricky!! Enjoy the extra time to prepare for the ashes.

If he is bold and clear in his mind, why can't he admit now saying Aussie did not deserve to go to super 8 in this T20 world cup? He should also admit boldly that dropping Symonds was a mistake. He should admit that denying participation in IPL has cost Aussie team in this T20 world cup. Ponting should also admit that they are good in One day matches and Test matches coz they have enough time to sledge.

Can he admit all these facts? If not then he is the biggest hypocrite including you hiding behind the name "Srinivas Mepula".

Dropping someone who boozes during day time maybe a mistake according to the BCCI, but I think it was a bold decision.... you might disagree coz winning is the most important thing for you... right?...

And thanx for admitting that they are the best in ODIs and Test Matches.... though you seem to believe that the Ojha style shouting and Ishant style glaring is responsible for their success.... go on belieiving that too.... :)

If they win, itz becoz of umpires.... if they lose then the opponents played superbly.... :)

Gr8... Maybe Nehra and Zaheer will take solace in that wallop they got during the 359/2 in 2003 finals; considering that all those sixes were actually catches in slips, signalled as Sixes by the cheating umpires.... :)

i would like 2 say u again-first read the comments carefully then speak. I used the word 'most of the' in my comments. u mst b understanding the word. frankly speaking - aussis r strong team bt umpire supports make them far more stronger. i accept in WC 2003 they played superbly bt more impotant is that -Indian bowler bowled badly in tht match. srinath gv 87 in 10, zaheer gv 67 in 7 n nehra too ws very expansive. these were the same bowler who bowled well against everyteam bt did all the mistakes agains australian team. so more than anything else it was bad cricket frm india. got it.

So I completely agree with you that for the next 250 years India is the best side that happened to the world of cricket..... ;-)

u seems 2 b more exited then any other australian. in 2007, dravid n ganguly ws the 2 main player who went out frm ODI and last yr ganguly n kumble retired frm test cricket. no other major changes. bt i believe still australia have strong players bt they r unable to perform well. u could see lee is goin to 56 run in 4 over. ponting is unable to bat properly nw.similerly for other players. their time has gone. they wll hv 2 bring new player who r good at international level n it will take time. mind u.

Aussies lost...so what?
by vathula on Jun 09, 2009 01:23 PM  | Hide replies

Cricket development is indirectly proprtional to
(a) income levels/ economic prosperity. Look at Bombay (or Mumbai now).
and
(b) Interest in other activities

Look at West Indies. Jamaicans know much more about Asafa Powell and Usain Bolt than Chris Gayle.

Or look at our own Mumbai; it was the undisputed cricket capital till the early 1990s. Now it hardly supplies players for the indian XI. Gone are those days when India used to get its entire XI from just 4 cities Bombay, Banglaore, Delhi and Hyderabad.
Guys from Mubai are making a lot of money. Anecdotally, Mumbaites are more worried abt Sensex than sex or cricket!

So, it is possible that Australia slowly decelerates and the space is filled by others. While this is possible, no country has clearly usurped Australia yet....certainly not India

as an indian i will support my team in any circumstance, so y shd i support australia? i mst b happy that one more opponent of us has been kicked out and moreover they hv been kicked out by their own mistakes. also there r few cheaters in their team n they mst learn the lesson. i hopes they hv learned a lot that widout umpire support they r nt ahead of any other team.

That is the sole reason they won 3 world cups in a row, and dominated the world cricket with such a pathetic team that even the Shardashram under-11 year old team from Mumbai could have defeated with only a 4 player team....

I completely agree with whatever you have to say you know why?.... Becoz Bucknor made some glaring umpiring mistakes in the Sydney test, so in keeping with our traditional Indian values, everything that the Australians did right from Sir Donald Bradman onwards simply proves to us that they always won by cheating and umpiring support.... ;-)
