DK is yet to, in international level. Rohit looks like bored with life..Zanduja, headless chicken, Yusuf..am sure god will also not able to define him, and least said about the bowler better it is. Future of cricket bright indeed!!
India has bad experience while playing with Zimbabwe. Don't forget 1999 world cup when Henry Olonga pulled the game from Indian claws after the famous Hat-trick. I believe the standard of India and Zimbabwe stands the same in major tournaments. Zimbies seems to be excelling now
everyone was playing for itself to fix his position,no one was playing for the team.Zimbabwe players were flamboyant and sauve and they really deserves kudos.
I think yesterday's lost was fixed. Reason : Opening pair in first 10 overs contributed only 26 runs. Never expected from M. Vijay & D. Karthik. Both are attacking players and Zimbabwe bowling ...... bowls were not even turning and Indian openers were not trying to take any risk for aggresive strok.
Lost was fixed ...not by bookies but by BCCI.
BCCI may have pressure from sponser of big shots players like Gambhir / Sehawag / Dhoni / yuvaraj / Zahir / Bhajji / sachin ... etc players to select them for coming tour of Asia cup.
If current opening players were played at their stregnth then Selectors would have no choice to retain them for next tour. Now Opening slot is open for select to Gambhir / Sehawag even they are not fit. ( fitness was never criterial for selecstion for selectors ). Already Rhoit Sharma & Raina have given signal to Yuvaraj. But unfit Youvaraj will be fixed for Asia Cup. Yousuf Pathan ( 2nd K. Srikanth who never knew the cricket shot and plays blindly ) will also retain his place for Asia Cup because of Pressure from Sponsors. And same rule for Bowlers also. If these new bowlers would have done better in Zimbabwe then there would have problem for selectors to select Old jokers. Therefore I am thinking the lost of India is / was fixed by BCCI.
IF SACHIN IS dreaming for winning 2011 World Cup for India. He must stop dreaming ... Indian Bowlers are not of that standar to win World Cup.

Come what may,India will win 2011 w.cup.Pawar and co.(bcci)has already done the groundwork.The cash-rich bcci is in the process of greasing palms at the right places. This is the only way to save indian cricket.
The bare truth is that India with its billion cannot play properly without the big players like sachin,dravid,etc.India lacks talent. India do not have a sports culture like australia.Hence India cannot find enough youngsters to replace the top players.Australia has 3 separate teams for t-20,odi and test.All are performing well.India cannot even cobble up one proper,winning team.
Without belittling the effort of the zim’s 1 can say thatWrong selection, inconsistency and lack of fighting spirit, like micheal hussy cost us the match
Omission of uthappa, srisanth, rp singh,irfan, badri,dhawan, Praveen, pujara, murli kartik etc r baffling
M. Vijay - Gully Crisket, should be banned even from Doemstic circuit. D Karthik - International, but out of sorts at the moment V Kohli - International,Needs to improve upon hugely. R Sharma - International Needs more improvement to prove him at the highest level. S Raina - International, Needs to work on Short pitch stuff immediately else he will pay big time. R Jadeja - Gully cricket, no value addition honestly. Y Pathan - Gully cricket, king of long hops, No class, no technique. A Mishra - International,but out of sorts. A Dinda - Gully Cricket should be banned from even Ranji. P Ojha - Good International bowler, needs more improvement. U Yadav - Domestic cricket, needs huge improvement.
