why is gavaskar and angrez commentator criticize that india is not deserving. they have lazy fielding. i can agree with gavaskar, but why this angrez telling that india is not deserving.
why are angrez jealous and spreading misinformation on IPL. india needs to increase the length and breath of it's talent so we can play two IPLs and tests, yet we have first class players to rotate. LOOK AT PRAVEEN KUMAR, he was waiting to be discovered and tried for test.
this should sum it up from one player- "If there was a fourth bowler we could have applied more pressure. One or two wickets at that stage could have put us in a different position."
All wicketkeeper batsman better than mediocre politician dhoni. In WI series Baug played better than dhoni & scored more runs including one match saving inning. This test Mat prior( 83 balls- 71 runs) & (120 balls- 103 runs) scored more than dhoni (108 balls- 28 runs) & for sure he will outperform dhoni in series because of his better batting & wicketkeeping skill. Prior has scored 5 centuries (includes 2 overseas) in last 2 yrs & many of half centuries which contributed heavily in all England test win. Sangrkara, Gilly & boucher worth not comparing as they are hundred times better than dhoni If given unlimited chance even parthiv patel/kartik will score more than dhoni in test cricket. For that reason politician dhoni keep parthiv/kartik out & keep mediocre like saha as 2nd wicketkeeper. What a great manipulator he is? Most overhyped player in history of cricket surviving on luck, manipulation & good performance of other players. Even this test he may be saved by brilliance of dravid, laxman & sachin. At the end he will take entire credit. In last 10 yrs all test win or draw gifted by dravid, laxman, sachin, sehwag, kumble & zaheer but politician like dhoni is there to take credit.
I am a big fan of ZAK, but this ongoing match i got hugely dispappointed with him. He shoulnt play this match with unfit match fitness. India is in Dire position just bcoz of him.. We played with only 3 bowlers that too with 2 fast bowlers.. we put undue pressure on thm with lots of overload and abv. all gave England an upper hand.
Re: noone is mentioning sachin about match saving, only for recor

Check ur father dhoni records-
Dhoni test average outside In WI 2006, 24 In SA 2006, 26 In AUS 2007, 17.62 In SLK 2009 17.5 In SA 2011, 35.8 In WI 2011- 19.5 (last series) ( score of 0,16,2, 5 & 74(only one good inning when WI was operating with bowlers like bishoo/chandrapaul & front line bowler rampaul/shammi etc was resting due to injury). Also dhoni after playing 26 T-20 intl has not scored a single fifty, no match winning inning, no MOM & pathetic strike rate of 110 (one of the lowest for any batsman in T-20 at his batting position)
