The absence of Sehwag could be felt by the team throughout the tournament. Yes., if he plays for 4 or 5 overs, you are sure around 50 runs are on the board, which makes the target easier. also he destroys the bowlers confidence making life easy for the following batsmen. in fact in the absence of Sehwag Gambir looks 25% of himself.

Not agreed. the main reason of our failure was poor fielding. Including Dhoni no one can escape from this fact.
Viru was drunk and was on water tank top!!!!!!!!!!! by soma shekar on Jun 19, 2009 03:54 AM | Hide replies
Viru was drunk and was on water tank top rehearsing the dialogues for basanti and mausiji, he was not in a position to play, so gangu bhai please dont blame him As he cant play when he is drunk you know and as the matter of fact nobody can play when drunk and drinking makes people not playing cricket properly, it will be like amithab bhai in the "HUM" as he use to say there will be always two kinds of cockroaches one will come from gutter and the other one I have forgotten so please dont blame viru cheers!!!!!!!!! and where was I ha gangu bhai so please dont blame viru he is a good guy but he was drunk that is the reason he couldnt play ok bye see you tomorrow...
Yusuf- Better than snail pacer Irfan. Can bat really really hard. So if he clicks he can single-handedly win a few 20-20 matches.
Badrinath- another of Shrikant's children.
Murali- Badrinath's brother i.e shrikants son.
Nehra- Has pace. and can bowl the yorkers. So not bad to give him a final chance.
Ojha- better than bhaji pav.
Pravin- Smart bowler. lacks pace though. is a major flop with the bat. one of our so called all rounders who cannot bat.
Karthik- Lets just say he is a better keeper than dhoni but Dhoni was a better batsman way better. That was then though now there should not be much of a difference.
Gambhir: very overconfident. thinks too high of himself. fell flat face in the 20-20 series. thinks he is richards.
Rohit- thought that the bowlers of the opposing team were of the same class that bowl to him at mumbai gymkhana. now he knows the difference.
Raina- I still remember seeing him laughing nd chatting even when India were losing the match against England and having failed with the bat completely he should be asked to take a long break from international cricket and play in the domestic league for a very very long time. Say 15 years.
Dhoni- Wow. He has no clue of what he is doing presently. Since Shrikant took over as chairman Dhoni seems to be lost in another world- also called Dravid world. But Dravid has technique.Has absolutely forgotten to play shots.
Yuvraj- He is a good player any chosen day unless you play him against a quality spinner.
Abhishek Nayar- He should have played in the 20-20 WC in place of Jadeja. atleast would have hit a couple of sixers.
Jadeja- he is apparently shrikant's illegitimate son which explains his inclusion in the squad even after single-handedly losing india the match against England.
Ishant- You cannot blame him because he is so tall that from up there he cannot see the pitch so he has no clue where to pitch the ball. Even a giraffe can do his job.
Bhajji- If you see him with figures of 3 wickets you can be rest assured that it will be the no 9,10,11 batsman. Those are the only people he can flummox.
So far they played T20 games like ODIs taking their sweet time to score runs, nudging ones and twos at their leisure, allowing countless dot balls, horrible fielding lapses and purposeless and ineffective bowling. Now they will play ODIs like T20 throwing their bats to every ball with aimless hitting and all will be back in their pavilion inside 20 overs. That's Team India.

This message was awesome..hilarious but to the point..bang on buddy, this is exactly what's going to happen...
Dhoni should be sacked. Shewag should be Captain of India. Dhoni is not a player. He got all by his luck. Right now he is the worst wicket-keeper in India. Dinesh Kartick, Parthib Patel, Wridhiman Saha all are better wicket keeper and better batsman than Dhoni.
