Through last 20 years, whenever Sachin's form is poor, the whole team looks pale. His taking a break brought his form down. He should have gone to West Indies. Anyway hope he gets back his eyes, hands and legs in time by tomorrow.
The knives are out for Sachin!This man who scored 7 Test centuries last year is again being targeted for his failure at Lords.Critics forget that he was suffering from viral fever for most of that Test.These critics should try batting with viral fever to know how it affects concentration,hand eye coordination and general reflexes!The listlessness and general weakness cannot be masked by taking a couple of pills! Yes Tendulkar can be criticised for not playing Tests in WI. He could have sat out the ODIs and joined the team for the Tests. That would have given him the required match preparedness like it did Dravid, Laxman, Raina,Mukund,Ishant & Praveen. Dhoni & Harbhajan, though they played in WI, have been found wanting in England.Dhoni\'s concentration both behind and in front of the stumps was wavering. Maybe there was too much on his mind due to Zaheer\'s injury initially and incapitation of Gambhir & Tendulkar later. Matt Prior was far superior in the match. Harbhajan was a big disappointment. He bowled flat and unimaginatively and his batting was irresponsible in both innings. The less said about his pedestarian fielding the better.Ashwin has to come in to shake Harbhajan out of his stupor!He needs a wake up call badly!The two comparative rookies Praveen & Ishant were the only ones who stopped England from totally embarassing India!
Dravid and Laxman - batting Ishant and Praveen - Bowling Raina - does better sometimes Sachin - Too much hype, less substance. His form is on decline. I can see the unsure footwork and number of times the ball is beating his bat..this is it.. Rest are having free lunch.
the hell out of Dhoni who has been riding on freak luck. Sachin form has started the decline, He is done , too much hype and he got his WC dream, he is England for business. The guy has hit the peak, Pakistan dropped 5 catches on semi final word cup, that was the end of this guy !, now he is not clear about his footwork and seem to have lost reason to play. The old fire is missing..going..going..gone, he will scratch is 100 cebtury , get Barat Ranta and retire for good, he is done. Gambhir is hyped player, he is done too. India batting is now only Dravid and Laxman..rest all are IPL crooks

agree with sk, Manish Kulkarni is on top of the field he is in, unlike Indian criketers who are just no.1 everywhere :)

very correct becos he is ten dul kar he has always got this leverage from casteistic media. if he is so great he should have performed and saved match or counterattacked. indian team is late current ina ny form of innovation or new approach to game. better we have a good and technically adapted batsman and bowlers who will take their batting seriously.
