Virat Kohli's rich vein of form is only to be expected, in a period where he has matured as a cricketer, by accepting the criticism directed at his attitude and working on it. he might lose his ODI spot when Sachin Tendulkar returns to the team. but sachin's precense will make him become better."
Sachin will take his own call not selectors. Sachin is helping youngsters and India cant have a better playing batting coach than Sachin. He is old but still the best runner and one of the best fielder in Indian side .

Badrinath is definitely not other kohli. He is just another Dravid but we do not want another Dravid in the team who plays very slowly. He can be a good player of test team. Yeah rest three are very promising player and must get chance.

Dravid was the highest scorer in the 1999 World cup in England. He has proven himself in all forms of the game . His record speaks for him.

How many runs he has scored hardly matters. How many balls has he taken to score those runs. Was it useful for the team to win. We need to win every game, and not individual which matters

Guys there is a better and more explosive batsman in Saurabh tiwary,he was the member of Under 19 world cup winnning team under kohli,incidentally he also comes from Jharkhand 21 year old now and a very good prospect,hope he gets to shine soon.
There were nice relationship between ganguly sachin at the start of ganguly's captaincy even sachin was captaining the side when ganguly was on the field also. After some time relation ship have become worse and ganguly ignored sachin's ideas and there were groups with in team which lead to down fall of indian team for short period. The same is happeneing now with sehwag/dhoni. Sehwag is a match winner who have to be used by dhoni but sehwag commitment should be 100% If both happens it will be good for Indian cricket

Arshad Ayub's comment on Sehwag and used "hopefully" word & also the fact Sehwag is not seen in the practice these days he will certainly not play in the final as well & I doubt his availability in the 2 tests as well starting from 17th this month

good mythology. Sachin was never interested in captaincy. Same goes with Viru.

Sachin took up the captaincy not able to handle pressure then give it up. Sachin does not want to take up the captaincy for superstious reasons

It was eveident in IND PAK ODI series in India in a match ganguly got banned for next 2 matches. Ganguly ignored sachin's advise and last over he was given the ball and when ganguly tried to set the field for him he asked him to go back with anger. This was seen in TV worldwide. Also in the series in AUS before the kumble led series in the last test in sydney sachin insisted to follow on and ganguly batted in the 2nd innings. Every body cannot go and discuss this things often. Do you confirm your child is born to you? it is your wife who says that it is your child. Dont use abuse words F**kr

Sachin is god of Cricket. No one can ignore him. Ganguly was an extremely intelligent cricketer. So, he never ignored Sachin.Even today Sachin is his best friend. Ganguly maintains this for his existence and identity and everyone should follow him on this score.

Try it with good teams like Aus,SA. not Bangladesh.Then u will come to know the value of Sachin.
Re: Re: kohli takes one step after another
by vadivel kumar on Jan 12, 2010 11:25 AM
dont try to compare him with sachin he may take someone's place in the ODI setup if he starts to perform overseas let us wait for 3/4 season and discuss this
Re: Re: Re: kohli takes one step after another
by Hindustani on Jan 12, 2010 11:36 AM
Yes...he needs to be consistent.Should prove his worth in all conditions/grounds.Then think of permanent place in the side.
Re: Re: Re: Re: kohli takes one step after another
by valaparla swarup on Jan 12, 2010 11:53 AM
No body denies the fact Sachin is great but we have to look into the future provide opportunities for budding players .Sachin has nothing to prove but he should also think of making way for talented players .Look at Kohli he is in the team becuase Sachin opted out.Sachin should be generous to youngsters .It is time selectors take a call

Still Kohli is not proved he can replace Sachin. Sachin is still playing well.& don't forget we are now playing Bangladesh. Kohli should prove himself on fast pitches.It is better have back-up's. Many Kohli's have come & gone.But they aren't consistent on pitches abroad.Even Yuvraj stugled to get into the Test Squad. Kohli has long way to go........
Re: Re: kohli takes one step after another
by Sunil Vaidya on Jan 12, 2010 12:17 PM
Yes Hindustani one should score against good bowling sides like Aus and SA. For example look at sachin’s staggering record against SA in tests- 20 Tests 36 innings 2 times not out 1202 runs with a highest score of 169 with 3 hundreds and 5 fifties and a stunning average of 35.35 runs as against his career average of only 54.72 runs. His record in one days against SA is equally impressive-52 matches 52 innings 1655 runs highest 122 with 3 hundreds and 8 fifties with a strike rate of 71.52 with an awesome average of 31.82 runs as against his career average of only 44.71 runs.

Vaidya...U forgot to give stats against Australia.Don't say Career avg is ONLY . Its good avg for one who has played more than 400 ODI's & 100 odd tests. & go through his avg's against all countries...just for ur knowlegde.. before commenting..
Gr8 to see young talents firing..but he needs to be composed and more mature...he was let off twice while nearing is century, as he was in ahurry to get it...as times goes, he ll surely learn and be an asset to our team...
Re: Talented..but still a long way 2 go...
by ramachandran nair on Jan 12, 2010 11:17 AM
no doubt he is a talented cricketer but I feel he is not being utilized properly by dhoni and his company. stop gap arrangement would not do anything good. same is the case with dinesh karthik, for his aggressive and at the same talented too. And he is always put to team to fill up the vacuum.
