2007 shri lanka 2003 india 1999 parkistan hat trick of wc victory so role of pointing is over he must play and concentrate only on test that is his target is sachin ramesh tendulkar. in fact all crickers must be allowed to play only one format of game to give all players chance and better performance and create more job opportunuities in cricket. one man one format like one man one post office of profit?
We call our batsman as capable of batting only on flat pitches; than how come another great batsman Ponting avges 20.85 in India? Whereas SRT avg. 53 in India (v/s Aus) and also SRT avges more than 58.53 in Australia (that is greater than his career avg. of 56!!) So...any doubt who is a better batsman????

if smone thinks that their is any other batsman in the world who is better than sachin, then such person is a fool. sachin ws, is n wl be the best batsman of the world, no two opinions about that. let sachin haters n critics , criticize him... whole world knows wht is the truth?

he he 51 is auspicious... Tendulkar should hit a century in this test to extend his lead! :-) And ponting shouldnt score one!

nopes.. Ishant Sharma is there.. he he he But I get a feeling that Sreesanth will play and take Ponting! :-D

Thing is Ishant is not that effective on Indian pitches. harbhajan it is going to be. Sreesanth won't play ;-)

Mohali is not what it used to be. You might have seen in that BPX1 vs Australia. Lots of runs. Rains didn't help either.
I think it might get low and slow.
By the way I am not going to watch. It is around 4 hours drive from here.

Chandigarh is best you can get here in Punjab. All other cities are not as clean or that planned. So you had fun in chandigarh when you were in your twenties ;-)
And BTW I read that mohali stadium will stop hosting matches in 2-3 years time and a new stadium is going to be built.

I get a feeling that Sreesanth will play, cos its Mohali. Its a seaming pitch and he can be effective if he can tape his mouth and concentrate on bowling! :-)

Yes I watched that. But he is new here. He'll learn tricks of the trade ;-)
I have been using internet for most of today. I think around 8 or 9hrs was spent by me today infront of pc. So all guyz, hope to see u tomorrow and hope that india's bowling will do a miracle today if they bowl first, not because of the pitch but bcoz of their skill and discipline. And if we bats first, i hope they wont disappoint me as am always expecting a good performance from our batsmen..Sports lover,Nostradamus Great,(difficult to recollect ur name) cricketfan and all others, thank u for ur company and a healthy debate

there was a spelling mistake. its raja not raya.. i know it was deliberate. i think u was the one who commented abt the thiruvananthapuram slang and the movie "rajamanikyam" which infact was a blockbuster. But anyways am from cochin. yes, the place where the 1st odi is going to be held...... GOODNIGHT ALL
