I was lucky enough to witness the test win.But truly dissapointed with the attitude of Indian Players. Spectators spent 200 rs daily pass tickets and the team didnt even run a victroy march around the playing area to thank the Indian Supporters. Another dissapointing issue was one related to sale of tickets. The ground authorities suspended selling of east stand tickets which were low in price ( Rs 50 ) and spectators were compelled to buy expensive tickets of North Stand ( Rs.200 ) which finally got wasted as the match finished within the first 45 mins of play. The east stand was much vacant ( Nealry 60%) .. Such a greedy attitude of the authorities is a BIG PUT OFF ...Mr PAWAR - R U READING THIS ?? and Once Again the Indian Players should have been sporting enough to atleast do a victory march and thank supporters -
Congratulations Dhoni! Your kitchen cabinet politics with Harbhajan worked so well! Both of you conspired to deprive Sreesanth of bowling opportunities. So at first you began by introducing spinners, and then when Sreesanth got an opportunity and took a wicket and bowled very tight maidens, you quietly replaced him with Zaheer, even though Sreesanth was bowling a tighter spell! Both of you guys - Harbhajan and Dhoni - were worried about Sreesanth repeating his success from the last test. So Bhajji and you came up with the good idea of keeping Sreesanth on the outfield while Zaheer kept on bowling.
Dont worry Dhoni, you and bhajji can conspire all you want. You attitude will only propel Sree to perform even better. Your and Bhajji's (Hayden may have had his reasons to call Harbhajan a 'weed' after all - he really needs being weeded out) games will not be able to keep deserving players out of the team for long.
Who is this Wadekar guy - was he born in Australia and holds dual English and South African citizenship because his father is an English hick and mother a plantation worker from the old South?
No wait, he is a typical Indian... what was I thinking, sorry.
REQUEST FOR SACHIN TO CONCENTRATE ON ATAL BIHARI WAJPEYI ADVICE TO PLAY TILL LAST BALL OF MATCH and stay away from HOOLYWOOD STYLE CELEBRATIONS. sachin we all indians love u play till the last ball as u did recently in ahmadabad to save the test match. WE all pray lord sidhdhivinayak to keep sachin away from all negative thoughts as well as shots to score his hard earned 44th century. we are also optimistic that sachin if his body allows can manage 44th century in first innings and 45th century in the second innings so we pray every spare second of the day & night to lord ganesh to let sachin concentrate on his very strong shots like straight drive when the ball crosses the fence like bullets of kasab! sachin, dravid, sehwag all 3 can slog then only 952 runs target in 180 overs play of first two days after wining the toss is possible. so it is toss who is boss of CCI ? even if shrilanka bats first then also we indian are famous for chasing the targets that is why saurabh ganguly won the toss in 2003 world cup and asked his friend ricky pointing to screw indian bowlers. i hope dhoni is not a fool as saurabh dada so when dhoni wins toss he will bat first to score 953 runs as the pitch is best batting pitch in the world of test where pointing ricky will score 333 runs in just 333 balls like sir don bradman so it is all good chances for batsmen to break all previous records so all the best to both the teams to score maximum like 952. run outs & catches will be turning points?

The pitch at Braborn is extremely bad and will crack at the end of the first day. There will be result for this match. In this match batsman will suffer and will be low scoring match.

The wicket is quite good than Wankhede stadium.And i am sure it is better than the pitch of waca where cracks are measured in inches....

waca is one of the fastest pitch. where you see the cracks there? Cracks are normally found in indian pitches because of its soil structure & that helps the spinner

rahul dravid is the man who scored hard earned 82 runs on the worst pitch in antigua in year 2006-2007 out of total 200 of india so again it will come to dravid to sail the indian boat to the safe shore if the pitch is as bad as antigua. then it will be tough time for sachin, laxman also to even score double figures because they are habit of playing ahmadbad type pitch which are batsman friendly and graveyard for bowlers
