kumbale is the true gentleman like Big B in bolliwood so his bowling skills at firozshah kolta against parkistan must be refreshed by his counterpart harbhajan, yuvraj, sachin, sehwag. so all experienced guys like anil, sunil, saurabh, kapil will add to the treasure of experience of mahendra only if he keeps his ears and eyes open to listen first what LEGENDS say? For India - 356 for 9 at Vizag 2004, 349 for 7 at Karachi 2003 & 328 at Peshawar 2005. For Pakistan - 344 for 8 at Karachi 2003, 329 for 6 at Rawalpindi 2003 & 327 for 5 at Chennai 1997

Centuries : 19 centuries for India, 148 by Dhoni at Vizag is the best ever. Tendulkar has 5 centuries against Pakistan & Ganguly 3. 28 centuries for Pakistan, 194 by Anwar is the best ever.4 for Anwar, 4 for Inzamam, & surprisingly, 3 have been from baby faced Salman Butt. Highest scores Ind v Pak ODIs.
Highest Partnerships : India = 231 is the best for 2nd wicket between Sachin Tendulkar & Navjot Singh Sinh 159, 231, 201, 149, 135, 132*, 89*, 52, 52 & 40 is wicket wise partnership record for India against Pakistan. Pakistan = 230 is the best for 3rd wicket bewteen Saeed Anwar & Ijaz Ahmed at Dhaka. 144, 205, 230, 163*, 142, 82, 99, 64, 45* & 42 is wicket w
just diplomatic musing. Atleast, the last time when Kumble wrote, he wrote about keep yusuf in team and the coach rested yusuf instead. Kumble should rise over and above to say, India need captain rotation after success of player rotation.

Mr Darwin, I dont think, the process of evolution is applicable to you or not passed through you. Yes kumble's observations carry much more weight than your stupid musings. After a game is over, you contemplate & say what went right & what went wrong, it is before games, that u talk about game-plan, so if you are looking out for kumble to say some game-plans & all, then am right. Evolution is not applicable to u. Can u just show up once to civilised world, we'll see how primates like you look like.

Legends ll say n go.. Its the captain who is going to get the flake if something goes wrong.. Better he can do what he n team management thinks is rignth for the game and accept the result with heads high!!
Before the match Kumble had said he would go for Yusuf, but I know Dhoni will prefer Raina...He has not said anything on that statement.. :-) Kumble sir you are all time great indian bowler..Pls support Dhoni and pray he bats against Pakis..
Viru - open Sachin - open Yusuf - send him first down and he ll bowl 10 overs Gambhir - at no 2 Virat - at no 3 Yuvi - at no 4 Raina - at no 5 Dhoni - at no 6 Aswin - at no 7 Nehera - at no 8 Zahir - at no 9
bhaji is just completing 10 overs with no luck so let yusuf complete 10 overs bt can get a batsman

No way - Bhajji's experience counts. He bowled very well against SA and has an ability to turn it on during crunch matches. With Munaf more aggressive the team is complete. The only problem is the over-reliance on spinners. Hitting spinners is not too difficult if you know how to do it. SriLanka and Pakistanis can do it. There is the danger of over-reliance on spinners. A wicket taking seamer is sorely missing in this otherwise great Indian team.
Hey Jumbo, good assertion man. But don't forget Sachin and Viru(not fully) gave a solid start. Also, talk about Dhoni's bad performance with the bat. Any suggestions on that?
May be Dhoni should come after Raina, so that he could get in form.

Don't just talk for the heck of talking. If you have any valid comments on the above article, spill it out. If not, just get lost and pray for Kasab's life.
