MS Dhoni is good for nothing. As a captain what he is contributing to Indian team ? India is winning the matches because of the players like SACHIN TENDULKAR / RAHUL DRAVID / SEHWAG / ZAHEER KHAN. He is total waste for Indian team. Make SEHWAG as one day / test captain and Yuvraj as his deputy. Make Cheteshwara Pujara as Sehwag’s deputy in test. Keep MS Dhoni as wicket keeper.

I support the inclusion of Pujara in the team. He deserves the place after his consistent performances in the domestic cricket and for India A in the overseas tours. But how can we make him the vice captain in his first test match itself. Let him prove his worth in international cricket and think about giving him the vice captaincy or may be the captaincy itself

eXACTLY .If we win or even draw this match it will be due to some brilliance from sehwag ,sachin ,zaheer etal or due to some spin magic and despite allhis nonshow people will start telling see he hasnt lost a series...the fact being 'he 'hasnt won a match a tleast test match for us
i THINK AUSSIES IS NOT HALF THE FORCE THEY USED TO BE; OTHERWISE THIS NONSENSE OF PLAYING WITH 10 PLAYERS WOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE SHOCK IT DESERVES.WHY INCLUDE LAXMAN WITH ALLTIME SORE BACK.AND WHAT ABOUT ISHANT SHARMA ...

First after bringing pujara, give him a chance. Also there is bhadrinath. These two have been sweating it out at the domestic cricket for long and both always finish among the top run getters in domestic cricket. Bhadri infact has not been given a fair chance. One or tow matches is not enough to judge a player

What would you say about Watson who scored 126 with a strike rate of 37.27 and Paine who scored 92 with a strike rate of 46.93 ?

Who says strike rate is important? This is test cricket and not twenty twenty. You probably watch too much t20 games anyway!
Just stay away from Test cricket or commenting about it until you understnad it.

Strike rate is not important in test matches. But the batsmen should not be over defensive and given a chance, they should look to win the match before eying for a draw
Re: Sachin is a very selfish player...

Sachin got because of his over defensive mindset,not because of trying to score faster. We dont want him to have a strike rate of 100 or 80. But he should maintain it in the 60's particularly, when time is a factor, like today. Had he done that, india would have been in a better posititon now He got out because he gave too much emphasis on his 100, rather than looking to take india in to a winning position
India batting last day on this pitch would be certain defeat for India. Good fightback by Aussies- Indians crumbled mentally and gave away this test to Aussies. Typical Indian mental meltdown

Dont forget, the third test against Sri Lanka. India had to score over 200 runs in the fourth innings. And we made it.

Australi is not Sri Lanka. Plus the fragile Indian mind set (who believe that Aussies are the best) will come into play here .
Re: Re: Defeat for India?
by Rajan S on Oct 03, 2010 06:02 PM
The situation is different here. Time is a factor. It seems, we won't be having the time to score 100 or 200 runs in the second inniings. We need to bowl out aussies very quickly if we have to win here

woha, Even after top scoring In a Innings it's not enough for you while others Would have scored faster is failed even to take India past Aussies, Sachin knows how to score, If he played over defensive I would have mentioned but when he play defensively I knew why he is playing like that
But stop simply asking to Sachin to get out and try to be a Man before trying to make expert comments on legends

May be you are a pakistani..If you are Indian then you can't comment like this...
This is the 3rd time Laxman has complained of bad back in test matches during last 2 years. If India loses this match then Dhoni is not a shrewd captain for including 3 injured players Ishnath, Laxman and Bhajji. Dhoni being captain includes injured players, why? Pujara and Sreesanth should have played but instead Dhoni prefers big bames even though they are unfit and are useless for this match.
