No Bracken,Lee,Ferguson,Clarke,Haddin,Paine,Hopes and now Siddle, but still the score says 2-2. It is tough to replace 7 people at a time. But still they managed to win against a great batting order. India suffered y'day when Gambhir was not playing. Suffered again in 1st odi when Yuvi was not playing. Assume if we remove 5-6 people from any international team (from the first playing eleven), nobody can beat India in India twice. Amazing

May be India will be the only team to lose against this Australian side. India should win 5-2 from now. If they lose even one match, then it is horrible.
Bhaji at number 5 and Endulkar at number 7.even Pravin can score quickly than endulkar. Indias young guns are absolute talentless ( Kohli,Raina,) Losers.

i agree with u.especially when tendulkar is nearing a century or some record he plays annoyingly slow
AFTER ALL THE INJURIES LED IN HIS TEAM, HE DOESN'T HAVE THAT FEELING THAT THEY WUD LOSE. HE STILL HAS THE DETERMINATION, STRATEGY AND HUNGER TO WIN ALL MATCHES AND HE IS TRYING AND SHOWING IT IN EVERY MATCH. WHAT IS THE TEAM HE IS PLAYING WITH, JUST TRY TO FIGURE OUT GUYS!! NO BRETT, NO HAYDEN, NO CLARK, NO SYMONDS, NO BRACKEN!!

Ricky took time but never gave up. Even the 'Brand New' Wicket Keeper has improved a lot

ricky ponting is a great player and a greater captain. the aussies never give up easily.
Australia bowls well in power plays, just keeping tight line and length, not giving any width , giving unplayable ackward height and also change the pace for each ball so that bastmen can't make any pre-determined moves forward to hit it over. This is a strategy that is adapted in T20's where the bowlers try to contain the batsmen than bowl agressively to beat the batsmen. To bowl this displined way, one doesn't have be McGraw , Brett Lee etc. and aussies are able to plan and execute within the constraints.
This is making a significant difference where our bowlers don't apply the same to keep them tight.
dhoni for all his big talk cannot handle sachin, who will play till ponting retires in the vain hope of keeping his record intact. Last few matches he has been struggling but nobody has the guts to drop him-players like dravid have to prove themselves on difficult tracks abroad and denied the easier tracks in india where all these so called heroes can score that too once in a bluemoon. This is the tragedy of the indian team--all brawn and no brains.
Re: what kind of a team
by aishwarya on Nov 03, 2009 01:13 PM
thats the big problem.nobody has guts to drop tendulkar. and u told rightly he will play till ponting retires becoz he has a great chance of beating sachin's records.
Dhoni started playing careless shots just after Yuvraj was run out. The pressure was mounting I suppose. Though the target was bigger by only 20 runs from the pevious match
sachin - out of form, in reverse gear. sehwag - out of form - playing like t20 and pant on fire. kohli - non performer . jadeja- sadeja. yuvi - knee is problem cant run fast and dive etc. dhoni - too much load on his body, wicketkeeping, captaincy etc. ishant - usless bowler. bhajji- lost his wicket taking ability. raian- unreliable.
Gambheer will be fit by next match nd team India will bounce back...But one has to admire even in absence of key players inexperienced Aussies giving tough fight...
