The message conveyed by Virender Sehwag is unwanted. These are the same lines conveyed by Mr. Asif Iqbl once when he was the team manager with the Pakistan team which toured India.
Do not take the opponents lightly. They can change the world of Cricket at any moment.

Bangladesh, a team that has won 3 out of 63 matches it has played, lost 52 of them. the 3 matches it has won are 1 against Zinbabwe and 2 against the 2nd string West Indian side. Leave aside winning, Bangladesh is a team that has struggled to draw a test match also. So, the statement that Bangladesh is an ordinary team is actually wring, it should have been that Bangladesh is a very bad team :)

rocky, just because India is ranked no.1 in tests(for the first time)does not mean that India is invincible like the aussies.India's track record shows its inconsistency.

First, When a team is at number one ranking, it does not mean that it is invincible. what it implies is that it was better than other teams that participated. Same holds for India.
Second, Australia are nomore invincible.
Third, India at number one for the first time. How many countries have been number in ICC test ranking :)

India is at number one ranking in tests. so, they do hav the right to think that they r the champs whether they think or not is a different story. Second, as per u Indian cannot come up with this comment against the lowly Bangladeshis, that says it all that u having problems withagainst India being number one:)
Third, I am not denying that India r invincible. Foruth, If Australia and sluth Africa are consisitant in their winning then why r they not at number one :)
Don't forget you were humilated by sri lanka in last tri series that too with their B team (with out murali, jayasurya etc) so veeru and dhoni should concentrate more on practice rather than under estimating others and advertisements.

Sri Lanka really needs to look into this. Their A team lost miserably to India and their B team won hte cup. So, may b Sri Lanka hav to let go of their old players which form their A team. the same holds for australia also :)

hi ishaque..last WC was a ODI..that's what Sehwag exactly meant...BD could cause upsets in ODIs not Test..Test is totally a different ball game
This is not approriate time for Sehwag to show over confidence. He should be penalised by BCCI for opening his mouth an wrong time. Why should he make any comment he is not the captain of Indian side, who has authorised him to speak???
Re: overconfidence
by indiandumb a on Jan 16, 2010 05:17 PM
it DEPARTMENT has already penalised BCCI by levying 120 Crores. This idiot Sehwag will get a good beating for his overconfidence and arrogant attitude in the bangladesh land.

A second string Australia defeated an almighty india in ODIs. A third string Bangladesh defeated India in 2007. A third string Bangladesh scored their highest (296) against might India.

Australians even in second rated is good enough to beat the world..in Australia they are never short of quality cricketers..one is better than the other. there is plenty of talent plus competition..
