Absolutely delighted to see a tight and well deservd slap on the BCCI chamchas Shastri and Gavaskar's faces after England routed India. Ravi was saying Eng will never be Bloddy no.1 and jealousy etc. Hope these two whom we have to endure on commentary since they are paid by BCCI keep their mouth sealed

absolutely agree with your assessment..i cant believe that both shastri & gavaskar believe others are jealous of india for what!!!
Gavaskar said on national TV that indians are generally not ruthless people, their mentality is not to be ruthless like australia and hence that shows up on field also when they allow oppositions to come out of difficult situations!!!! what an idiotic thought that is...if you can be ruthless on the cricket field, pack your bags and go home, dont waste the time of an eager 1 billion population cheering for you
bharat ratna SRT played very freely with a relaxed mind in second innings and got a fifty bcoz he already knew that india was set for a defeat .This guy never ever scores under pressure.

dravid 2 100's in 4 inn. laxman 2 50's in 4 sachin, raina 1 50 in 4 inn dhoni total not even 50 in 4 inn tells the story
Just see Dhoni's innings as a batsman starting from South african tour: 33, 98,35,21,0,DNB,0,16,2,5,74, DNB,28,16,5,0,. with the average of 23.00. Pathetic batting. How can he command a place in the team and how can he be a leader of the team

some good innings of 98 and 74, and many starts 33, 35, 21, 28 -- i think with some luck his average could have been better
are the bowlers? At best our bowlers will take 4/5 wickets quickly. Then the tail will get stuck into the bowling . This has happened time and again. Just don't have bowlers who will run through opposition twice to set up wins unless the opposition happens to be W I or Bangladesh. Bowlers win matches.
When HARBAJAN failed totally in WI tour and as well has at home grounds why he should be included in playing 11 ? He again proved the inability to take the wickets. He is not a replacement for Kumble. Hard to remember Kumble was without a wicket or high runs given in his bowling. But this guy is failure and arrogant too and also lies as if he is injured. If he is injured, that means he cheated the Board.
When the legend Dravid can be dropped from ODI just for couple of failures. This was insisted by the Vengsarkar vengitively. His comments cannot be seen now anywhere. Which shows the bias nature of him and unpatriotic selfish. HOPE THE BOARD WILL AXE NOW HRABAJAN FOR THE COMING MATCHES

Dont forget Bhajji's contribution in World Cup win -- how ungrateful we are to forget our national heroes in bad times

what was bhajji contribution in world cup win please tell me as i cannot remember even 1 3-4 wicket haul....ashwin got 2 chances and took 4 wickets...harbhajan is an under performer who should be replaced with ashwin in all forms of the game.
He is so selfish he knew if he sat out of WI tour and ashwin performed, then his place in the team would be in jeopardy so he played without any rest

there were turning pitches in kumble's times, full of cracks our indian pitches. now we make more neutral pitches.
Indian Team are Team of millionnaires unlike English team!!English players banking on the poultry sum they get for playing for England,put their heart out to shine and secure their place in the English team!!Millionnaire Indian team members have their stomach and Bank balance full & there wil be no dearth of steady income from Ads even if they lose the series and # 1 spot!!Even if they lose their position in the team,they have earned enough for 2-3 generations to sit and enjoy!!Who bothers about India's reputation or the ambition of 1 Billion people to win?!!
Brothers Do not waste your time on this. You all know world cup final was in Mumbai and if India gets beaten what will happen to the media and sponsors. Analyze the same England team during world cup and now. I do not have to elaborate you make 1 =2. All the best boys everything is manipulated these days.

What is the Big Deal about a time-wasting and anti-development and boring game as Test Crciket??? This Test was Fixed by Brits, using or bribing the umpires,any way,All Indians who watched this & last TEST must ask themselves whether they have NOT wasted so many hours&caused the country billions of dollars by wasting productive time for nation-building or NOT!?Shame one billion people are still continuing with playing boring& time wastingTests&,etc,WE must launch a national agitation to BAN TEST matches&3 Day&ODI Matches FOREVER. india& poor countries MUST ban Test Cricket& 3 day macthes forever&Play ONLY T20 matches so that millions of man or woman hours are NOT lost watching monotonous Test cricket& 3 day macthes,etc.It is possible. This game of cricket lasting many days was invented by British looters like inventing british double agent mahatma gandhee& dirty trick of non-violence, to fool people of colonies& to make them lazy&morrrons FOREVER too by addciting them with all types of dirty tricks. BCCI& rulers are still behaving as slaves of Westerners, shame they have appointed white skinned westerners as coach,etc paying millions of dollars though we have excellent indian coaches like jimmy amarnath, madan lal,etc who can do better jobs than foreigners.
