He is an immature player and a captain. Telling Srilanka had an upper hand in test matches, they would have won the match if scored 220-230. Why dont he realise that if India had won all the tosses in test matches srilanka may have lost the series or had Newzelanders scored 30 odd more runs they would have lost last game as well. We Indians start critisizing dhoni for being politically correct look @ other captains they don't even know how to be politically correct. They just talk $tupid and nonsence.

All above suggests that he is frustrated again from the captaincy. He did everything wrong as being a KXI Punjab captain. Now he is trying to find thises and thats.

Lanka will have bad future as Murali the chuker is gone...any number of Randiv's, Mendis cannot win matches even on Lankan soil but for Murali ... so they r a frustrated lot for now...
they do have Maling who chucks at 100 miles per hour but still not as effective as Murali..Murali can effectively chuck when required..from now on their team will be exposed...
Re: Re: Its no surprise...
by Jay on Aug 17, 2010 08:30 AM
With the modified ICC rule, Murali is not a chucker. But I feel Malinga is a chucker, not every delivery, but at least once in every over or two. He should be referred to the technical committee. It is the surprising element that matters. If they can not ban him because of political pressures, they should change the rules to make it mandatory that the bowler has to declare that I am going to 'chuck' the next delivery!

So u suggest that it shoud be just like going over or arround the wicket? That would be interesting.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Its no surprise...
by Jay on Aug 17, 2010 08:43 AM
Yes, that will make it at least easier for the batsman. Else he has to be referred to the technical committee for bowling action.

Because of deformity or because of generosity of ICC or because of both Murali has become one of the greatest spinners world has ever seen.... that's past. But I don't think Murali would have done what Randiv did yesterday in similar circumstances, he was a fighter. I also feel Sanga had deliberately given 4 byes when Sehwag was 1 short of century and India was to win by 5 runs. They insulted the game.

Its all in the game. What made Viru wait till last ball. Why did Viru not ask his partners not to score and let me go for the century. What if Viru was bowled out on the last ball he the bowler be bowled for taking his wicket ?
We Asians are more worried about individual records than team's performance

Re: Re: Its no surprise...
by Jay on Aug 17, 2010 08:52 AM
Everybody cares about records. If Sehwag slowed to score a century and denied India the bonus points, then one could have blamed him. Even Bradman wanted to score a century whenever he batted. Individual interests should not be in conflict with team's interests, thats all.
Sri Lankans plyas the negetive cricket. I remember when India was chasing 250 odd runs in the test, They bowled completely outside the off stumps so that batsman can never reach the ball. Even Indians could have denied the 800 milestone for Murali by getting out by hitwicket.

Indians wont do that because we always believe in making opposition happy. Even if we are focked, we dont want to offend them. That's our mentality.
What is so great about century. Play for a win like Australians. Our country is not progressing because we are not proffessionals from ploitics, technologu upto sports. We had a great father of nation who never took any credit for his contributions. So all countrymen should behave like a proffessional.

Koshy , please get out of india and go to aus.
I hate you hypocrites, first you whine about aus, but never behave like aus. Aussies don't discriminate fellow Aussies , we however do.
Records are just as important for aussies as it is for indians. Don't kid yourself. Yes end of the day, the win is more important than some individual records. But trying to say individual records don't matter at all to aussies is a blatant lie

Re: Century

Even Bradman cared about century. Those days Indians used to give the bowling to part-time bowlers when a batsman was on nineties to help the batsman. However, even with part-time bowlers, he played with extra care to ensure he reached his century. Who will not care?
sanga says it would have been tough match if they scored 230 plus .it again shows his immaturity .they would have won,like if they score 330 plus ,playing with 15 players against 11 ,India bowl with rohit ,dhoni or khokili
Re: Re: it would have been
by Jay on Aug 17, 2010 08:13 AM
Question may be valid to you, but does not make sense. There was no need to take any risk with so many deliveries left for bonus point and the strike was with him anyway.
But I thought Dhoni would score a six and deny the century. However, it was Sanga and Randiv who denied the century.
when sachin was denied century by kartik and srilanka... then they said it is india's win which matters most... and now same shameless people are crying foul... as for sehwag compalin well if last ball was deliberate then perhaps so was the ball in first over of which sehwag would have been out if it was not for a no ball... and before being a cry baby sehwag should ask himself how come he could not score 1 runs of 4 balls he faced in the over before no ball... sehwag proved that he will always be a street cricketer with no class...

hey u seem to know nothing about spirit of cricket u saw the big no ball that randiv bowled see it again and then write ur comments.

by siva kumar on Aug 17, 2010 07:42 AM
It is a valid question to ask why sehwag could not score a single in previous balls...

ha ha ha..Rite these southese send them to Srilanka the country with Poorest GDPI
Many Indians supported Sinhalese and were anti-Tamil. They definitely deserve this; Not Sehwag though. Viru is a brilliant player beyond these petty politics
Re: Many Indians deserve this though not Sehwag
by Sameer on Aug 17, 2010 07:49 AM
Indians do not support Tamil citizens of SriLanka. However if they were indian citizens we would have supported.
If they had dual citizenship we would have supported. And by support if you mean support a terrorist organization, then sorry. The country is more important than you tamils who are regionalistic to the core.
Maybe you know, if you mingled well with your fellow countrymen, we would have more sympathy to you and understand your line of thinking better.
Re: Re: Many Indians deserve this though not Sehwag
by andy on Aug 17, 2010 07:55 AM
I agree. Tamilians have hardcore regionalistic attitude and care little for the other states and for country.

Hi Andy, it's really sad to see your comment. Just come and see in Tamil Nadu.. especially in Chennai how many people from other states we have accommodated. If the person is good, we love them so much and do not care from where they are. There are lot of examples. I dunno what else to say.

some people are hypocrites---these are the same people who say certain player play for his records or century. But you can not expect better response from incorrigible people.
Re: What is this Sehwag?
by Jay on Aug 17, 2010 08:18 AM
Then ask ICC to remove these milestones like centuries and fifties from the record books. Everybody, including Sir Don, want to score a century when they walk to the crease. Only that personal goals or records should not be in conflict with the team's interests.
Team always comes first, but that does not take away the siginificance of individual records. It is a different thing if he slowed down to score a century and denied India the bonus points.

by Free Free on Aug 17, 2010 06:06 AM
he did play for the team he did won the match. There is nothing wrong in making personal records, dont be a idiot. He didn't play for himself, being a accomplisher is a good feeling u m0r0n.

lankans wanted to get under his skin which they succeeded even after loosing. he could have pretended that he is not affected by their bad sport... next time they will play with little advantage of irritating him... haa haa.. now tell, tell .. tell no tell no

Re: Re: Re: Re: What is this Sehwag?
by LG on Aug 17, 2010 08:23 AM
I did not get your point...you mean it was not Randiv who bowl the last ball of the match as no ball.
Re: Re: What is this Sehwag?
by Jay on Aug 17, 2010 08:26 AM
Actually it was SL who played for personal record (of denying a century to Sehwag) by giving 4 byes and a no-ball. They should have fought to win till the last ball instead of that.
the spirit of the game violated? Sadly, Cricket is no more a gentleman game--accept it or not.
No doubt, it was wrong to bowl no ball deliberately.
But this is not the first of its kind when the spirit of the game has been violated...have you not seen captains using negative tactics to stop the flow of the runs?
So the question is which is a bigger vice considering the spirit of the game.
If you all are true cricket fans and care about sportsmanship, raise your voices whenever the spirit of the game is violated. Stop being partial.
