all things agreed the only missing link is Harsha Bhogle who always barks at sachin's records & openly supports Mumbai Indians, his world srarts with sachin & ends with mumbai indians

How can we forget the success of Dhoni because he lost a series now? If I remember Sachin overbowled Prasad and Srinath to the extent that they burned out. Whereas Dhoni had partially fit bowlers but still tried to use them at optimum level and respected their fatigue. We didnt have bowlers and batsmen were out of form. We can take it as one failure among many successful tours

Bharat ratna
by Gulu Lalwani on Aug 14, 2011 04:23 AM

The entire team should be given Bharat Ratnas. Only thing, it should be shoved up-their-ass as a token of thanks.

Typical Shoddy work by Rediff

"Former captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, whose name the trophy of the India-England series bears..."

Pataudi Trophy is named after his father Iftikhar who played for both England (in Bodyline Series) and then for India...

losing is not a matter of worry but how you lose is what matters ?? u should give a gud fight rather than meek surrender.. is what we expect . not that our indian team should win each n every match ..!!

do down but like a roaring lion ..

We never played like no. 1 team
by shuja shakir on Aug 14, 2011 02:30 AM

Actually, we could have foressen this when team India was playing in west indies. we never played like no. 1 team there. out of 3 tests, we won just 1 and other two were drawn. Even the one which we won, it was dravid who made 112 that proved crucial. Otherwise, none of the other players could reach 50. Second highest scorer if i remember correctly in that test was amit mishra who had made 28 runs!! Clearly this team was not capable of standing up to the likes of andersons and broads under english conditions where the ball comprehensively swings. unless something drastic is done like dumping senior players and cutting down on IPL, we shall soon find ourselves hanging at 6 or 7 position in the test ranking.

that I am with our team who have given us some wonderful entertainment in the past few weeks (World cup win, WI Series win etc.,). Its just a bad series in UK and so forget about it and let them enjoy the way they are playing. What if we lost the No 1 place in Test Cricket, we will again reclaim it.
