England

I enjoyed every minute of the Indian presence in England. No blame game over wining or losing. I wish Rahul Dravid the best in live for the joy he gave us in ODI’s and 20/20for more than a decade .Ayinka and Partiv Patel have to work on some aspects of their technique. They are very promising. I hope Indian selectors give more youngsters a chance to experience different conditions. In Cardiff the nighttime temperature was to say cold-10 to 12 degrees Celsius. Fielding in England was good. The Indian bowling needs to improve. Not bad even to copy the Brits.Variation with even few wide- balls. Kohli bowled well in Cardiff. Work ahead but I have faith in them.

It is now high time to have a balanced Test Team, rather than going by players' historical record. BCCI should ponder only over following names for Tests:

Sachin
Dravid
Laxman
Sehwag (Captain)
Cheteshwar Pujara
Rohit Sharma
Virat Kohli
R Ashwin
Irfan Pathan
Amit Mishra
Pravin Kumar
Harbhajan Singh
Zaheer Khan
Ajinkya Rahane
Abhishek Nayar
Ambati Rayudu
Chief Coach: Anil Kumble
Fielding Coach: Jonty Rhodes
Bowling Coach: Wasim Akram

This is not a joke or a fiction. This is a reality which needs to be thought of, for having a better team.

Raina, Yuvraj, Gambhir and Dhoni should be for One-day and T20.

Test Diagnosis
murli vijay - south media creation-plays IPL.Pl play ranji first.learn from young Badrinath who plays Ranji,and repeatedly ignored.

The other Rahul-PL limit IPL/ODIs and play Ranji if you want to get into test eleven like real rahul.

Laxman- sadly over the hill --still playing ipl.Pl retire gracefully like Sourav/Gavaskar

Dravid- thank God for dravid

Tendulkar -- losing focus in IPL

Yavraj -- test Dud? prove me wrong .Great Limited over guy.Pl play Ranji before expecting test call.

sehwag-- pl play tests only.Get well play ranji for now.Limit IPL.

gambhir- built up by media,suitable only for IPL and IPL

Raina- media creation.suitable only for ipl

Dhoni-big media created test dud now proved.Play only ipl and ODIs. pl hand over test captaincy to Sehwag in future.

Bhajji- over the hill media darling,not for long.Give way to Ashwin.Keep on playing IPL

Zaheer-Retire gracefully from tests like Sreenath

Ishant-Play only Ranji first before eyeing tests.IPL has taken toll.

Sree- media darling but test flop.Play ranji.

Pravin-Play ranji and reduce ipl.can go far.

RP Singh- have ipl money-will laze.Play ranji.

Our media created BCCI backed test superflops need to make way for Ranji playing youngsters .

BCCI, pl ensure 1st class cricket players are given chance in TESTS ,ahead of IPL superstars.

Sack the selectors and BCCI lot who put money (Read IPL)before honour(Read Tests).

JAI HIND.

What is the point to prove?
by Mathews George on Aug 22, 2011 07:55 PM

It is so pathetic to state unwanted issues being debated by some persons who rarely uses their brain to do the thinking. If you are so particular on the age for peforming, who are the better batsmen? DRAVID is the best from Indian side. He is 38. What did Raina, Mukund, Sehwag, Dhoni (except 1 innings) do? we lost because of various reasons. our team did not accustom to the climate, senseless bowling as well as batting... many more. But not due to age factor. stop writing nonsense please.
