WHy was Rainas contribution ignored??.he scored 45 and only tendulkar was awarded MOM ??..It should have been shared by both raina and sachin.Reeks of bias..!
This is a meaningless tournament with a disinterested NZ already packed up to go back today, regardless of win/loss. they do not care. And what format is this, when India is in the final with just one match won?
An idiot umpire like Gamini De Silva is there so it is almost impossible to be the champion in Sri Lanka ! Remember his dirtiest umpiring last time when Indian batsmen ,especially Sachin,were the victims of his umpiring. It surprising & shocking that he is still doing his job and ICC has not banned him !

its Unfair to blame only one umpire cos these days almost all the umpires are making big errors...!!!...and besides an umpire is just a human...ICC should introduce the referral method (3 challenges method) in order rather than thinking of time...!!!

Plz add Kumara Dharmasena to that umpires list who give wrong decision against Sachin Tendulkar :-)
New Zealand has a very talennted team but lacks focus. The main need for the New Zealand is a top order batsman who can carry his bat through the innings. Someone whom the natural stroke players everyone can play around.
Re: why dravid what is his role
by Dinesh K on Sep 12, 2009 03:25 PM
His role is that of a anchor. Saty put and make sure that India don't lose anymore wickets, take singles and then pick up the run-rate. This role works on ODI not in 20-20.
Can one man win world cup for their country? Yet, there are some idiots who keep on asking "When will Sachin win the world cup for India"? If the responsibility of winning the world cup lies entirely on Sachin, what are the remaining 15 players supposed to do? Go shopping?

And You are the I_D_I_O_T who unnecessarily evoked the Sachin's issue here when article is clearly attributing the Win to India...If Sachin bashers are criticized then you the praiser of him should not also point a finger on someone else ? why the hell you topped the sachin's issue here. not any one have criticized him in above forum so far....

very true. At the sametime i hope you do realize that sachin is a just a player and when you go to town saying sachin won the match for india, that is also not quite true. He contributed a major factor to the victory. Not won it alone for india.

Currect. In last 20 years india have played 50 ODI finals and tendulkar contributed hardly anything may be in 3 or 4 finals.

..and what about league matches? India won them just like that? And, if India couldn't win that final matches what the f*^k rest 10 were doing there?
sanath and other dravid supporters, read this carefully. he has faced millions balls in life and still he cant bat fluently. he know only defence against top class bowler and for low class bowler he become active and start scoring run. he is most selfish indian batsman i ever seen in any country cricket matches and i cant believe he is still playing as if there are no alternative or talent in india. if you analysis his 10000 runs in one day, most of the runs come from weak bowler. what do we learn from this match? - still can't play fluently as required for one day - match boring to watch - playing for himself - putting pressure on other end and incoming batsman. - lack of confidence.
why not his i__di-ot blind supporters open up their eyes and see it clearly... btw i am from karnataka

Sachin is a very very selfish player in the world.If he play this world cup,he will make sure India is not winning the world cup once again as he use to do earlier....

You mean to say that all Indian wickets should should shall before the 24th over without even scoring even 125 runs. Please try to uderstand the pitch and the way the bowlers are bowling. In a low scoring match one should be very careful while batting. The batting done by Dravid in this match was need of the hour.

you would know what is the value of a dravid someday if you keep watching the game and learning about it.

D'r friend, Indian batsman would have been in Q if india lost there second wicket within 8 - 10 overs. Mind it. Dravid done a good job.

Re: Re: about dravid
by Apoorv Tyagi on Sep 12, 2009 07:59 AM
I know that Dravid is not that bad, as told in the article, but if we go on a talent hunt there will be a lot of people who just need a fine tuning and will be able to score more in all matches

dumb c_unt did u enjoy david match yesterday. it is not the first or last.. it is same old story.. and india didn't lose so many wicket to play that much slow.. he is playing for himself not for country or for us.. you are pucking moroarn

by paul on Sep 12, 2009 02:17 PM
This nut case Spring seems to be a senile character, we don't need to know from him Dravid's record against quality opposition especially his record overseas which is one of the best ever among the all time Indian batsmen. wake up , do your homework first & then bark.
Re: about dravid
by paul on Sep 12, 2009 02:10 PM
Spring, Dravid halted the fall of wickets at a crucial stage & allowed Sachin to play his natural game which eventually turned out to be a pivotal phase in our route to victory. We anyways had to score just above 3 an over, there was not need to adopt slam bang batting & risk early wickets. Don't just blindly draw conclusions, a cricket match needs to be won irrespective of how exciting or boring it is.
Re: about dravid
by Apoorv Tyagi on Sep 12, 2009 08:02 AM
Though i agree with you, but still Dravid is not that bad. It is true that his fans follow him blindly.
Re: Re: about dravid
by arvind agarwal on Sep 12, 2009 09:37 AM
Are you from Karnataka?Shame on you.Dravid has hit all world class fast bowlers in the world.His roll is play according to match conditions.In yesterdays condition no one has hit the ball fluently.Wrong message from a wrong person.I too from Bangalore.True admire of Dravid.
