When people ask how many Tests Sachin has won, how many Sehwag has won etc and compare with Ponting, Smith etc, it is a useless comparison. if Aus and SA have won more matches it is because they have bowlers who can take 20 wickets in a Test. The batting lineup which India had for the 1st Test was the best ever for India ( Top six as a group). Add Dhoni to it, we have the best batting lineup. But to win Test matches we need 4 very good bowlers. In the last decade or so, except Harbhajan in one series, it was only Kumble who looked capable of taking wickets. Now that he is also gone we are short of quality bowlers. Unless we have a group of 4 strong bowlers as a group, we can not be competitive. Only Zaheer (when he is fit) can be selected for the 4 slots. The remaining 3 voids are to be filled to make the team a strong one.
The mendis mysterry has already been solved by indiam batesman.Srilanka need some another youngester to make his debut against india. India dont disappoint debutants. HIHIHIH
steave waugh won 1987 reliance cup for australia in india after india 1983. when steave failed to maintain run rate in ood ca dropped steave & handed over wheels of ca to ricky pointing since then ricky has won 1999 wc by taming parkistan, 2003 indians, 2007 shri lankan so in hat trick ricky pointing found one runner up common those are asian parkistan, india, shri lanka. so credit goes to cricket australia for ruth less decision to ask steave waugh to play in test matches only so it is time for cricket india to ask sachin to play only test matches so also rahul dravid? five star presidential suit of sachin is really fit for honeymoon not for cricket where one has to play with the bouncing balls on the pitch not in the bed so shame on bcci to allow such biased sycophancy and demoralising rahul dravid, sehwag, gautam who are equally RICH & CAN AFFORT THE SAME SUIT SO IT IS MY REQUEST FOR SACHIN TO CONCENTRATE ON ATAL BIHARI WAJPEYI ADVICE TO PLAY TILL LAST BALL OF MATCH and stay away from HOOLYWOOD STYLE CELEBRATIONS
