We are proud to emulate '83 heroes: Zaheer

Re: BCCI hikes players’ pay, demotes Yuvi by Maximus Meridius on Apr 03, 2011 11:56 PM Yuvraj had been crap for over a year at that point. He was fat, his fielding had slowed down and he was not making runs with the bat. Full credit to him for bouncing back, and hopefully, he will get back his A retainership. You can't blame the board for dropping him and cutting his pay grade: he was well and truly crap in 2010.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: BCCI hikes players’ pay, demotes Yuvi by wibas wibas on Apr 04, 2011 12:02 AM Yes you like Sachin to have tons of records and ads to mint money. But he cannot play one match winning innings. The low paid guys should raise to the need play and get the team win. So your Sachin or Dhoni can make money. Apart from the final, your Dhoni failed in all matches.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: BCCI hikes players’ pay, demotes Yuvi by ASHISH KUMAR on Apr 04, 2011 04:49 AM don't compare god of cricket sachin with DOG dhoni. It is insult of cricket. sachin was highest run getter in this wcup. also main archtect for Q/F, S/F win & tie agianst Aus. also great century aginst SA. Dhoni not scoring- nothing new. It is linled with his ability    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: BCCI hikes players’ pay, demotes Yuvi by Maximus Meridius on Apr 04, 2011 01:54 AM Really? So you think tendulkar's 97 vs Pak in 2003, or 200 vs SAF, or 136 vs Aus in Sharjah were not match-winning? What have you been smoking? I just named 3, there are many more. Just because Yuvi was at the finish of games doesn't make all of them match-winning. Someone has done the work up front to get you into a good position so that the others can capitalize. I doubt you understand how cricket works! Dhoni is a keeper first, and batsman second. His job is to take catches behind the stumps, and perhaps excepting one dropped chance vs Pakistan, he held on to all catches. Which is better than having someone like Kamran Akmal who drops every third chance that comes his way. Keeping for Dhoni is mandatory, batting is optional. Yuvi will never get dropped for bad bowling form, but deserves to get dropped for poor batting form.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: BCCI hikes players’ pay, demotes Yu by ASHISH KUMAR on Apr 04, 2011 04:58 AM why u forget this wcup 54 against Aus in Q/F 85 against pak in S/F 120 agisnt england in leage. Two resulted in win & one in tie. Also 111 agisnt SA was a classic inning but then wasted by remaining useless players like dhoni. He is highest run getter in this wcup too.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: decided by RightSaid Fred on Apr 03, 2011 11:01 PM Good observation. There are very good chances Nehra will improve; but that useless ape-chimpanzee sreesaaanth deserves to be publicly humiliated. I request Bhajji to do the needful and this time wear brass knuckles.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: decided by ASHISH KUMAR on Apr 04, 2011 04:53 AM bhAJJI IS EVEN MORE USELESS THAN SRESHANT AS A BOWLER. Nehra, chawla always a waste but thne dhoni friends    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: decided by commentsme on Apr 04, 2011 11:55 AM I think your observation about Sreesanth is right in one day,,, but he is one of the best bowlers we have in test as good as Zaheer.. remember that every time India won outside India in test Shreeshant was there,, also in worl cup his first spell was very good lateron as usual he started doing all his monkey tricks and failed to impress,, but even Zaheer was no goood in second spell,, I think Sree should be given second chance,, he is very good swing bowler..    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Only Zaheer by Maximus Meridius on Apr 03, 2011 11:54 PM The 83 team got lucky. Had the Windies taken them seriously, there is no way they could have won. Kapil Dev was the only decent bowler in that team; the rest were gentle medium pacers, who would get thrashed anywhere else (the ball swings in England). Man for man, they were no match for a team that had people like Garner, Marshall, Roberts, Holding, Viv Richards, just to name a few. In fact, in a few months, Windies toured INdia and handed India a sound thrashing 5-0 or 4-0 or something onesided like that. This team can win against anyone in world cricket, consistently, and not a random jackpot like the 83 team.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Only Zaheer by ASHISH KUMAR on Apr 04, 2011 04:56 AM even this team will be thrashed by Aus, SA if india play abroad without sachin. SA defeated India recently 3-2. aus defeated india 4-2 & 4-2 in last two full series    Forward   |   Report abuse
