Manoj Tiwary and Wridhiman Saha continue to get opportunities only because of pressure from the East Zone selector. See how Parthiv Patel has performed but he was not even selected as the second keeper in the Test Team only to accommodate Saha, who enjoyed a free picnic at BCCI's cost. Don't know how much cut the East Zone selector got from Saha. Similarly, Manoj Tiwary's selection is blocking talented players like Utthappa and Rayudu from getting into the Indian team.

Parthiv is doing well. He should be there in national team. Saha is a very good keeper but a poor bat. Manoj Tiwary is the most talented in the lot. fools like you, who don't understand cricket, are gradually destroying the culture of cricket in this country. Manoj is 10 times better than Badrinath.

I would be surprised even if he scores 20 runs in any of the next 4 one dayers.
Dhoni sir, you are the best. the best ever indian player. you are unparalleled in indian cricket in the winning attitude and passion you bring to the game. no indian player in the history of cricket has been able to achieve what you have achieved. you always give your best and encourage other players and extract the most out of them be he a senior or junior, a player in form or out of form.
there may be indian players with better record, better talent and better technique than you, but still you can do what these players cannot do. the no. of amazing innings you play and bring victory to india with so much awesome consistency even they have not been able to do as consisitently as you.
there are very few players of your type for whom team achivements are more important and take precendence over personal achievements or milestones. the impact you have brought on indian cricket, players and fans and even people from other walks of life is simply incredible. the way you selflessly lead the team and play is a lesson for new generation players (and even for older players)
you are always involved in the game yet are still detached from it. you dont blow your trumpet and after the win you simply melt in the crowd and allow your team members to enjoy and take the credit and praise.
you really are to the indian team what krishna was to the pandavas. whatever you say and do is gita...

You are the worst, the worst ever player. You are in the gambling attitude and passion (for fixing)u bring to the game. no player in the history has been able to earn what u earned by fixing. u always give ur worst & discourage others and extracted the least out of them a senior or junior, a player in form or out of form. there are players with worst record, talent& technique but still u can do worst than them. the nos. balatkar innings u played n bring defeat to the country with so much awesome consistency. there r very few players of ur type for whom team achievements are less important than self and endorsement, advrtsmnt. the impact u have brought on game, players, fans & even people is simply horrible. The way u selfishly lead the team and play is a forgettable lesson for new and old generation players. u have always involved in the match fixing. U blow ur trumpet and after the defeat u simply blame team members. U really are to the team what Shakuni was to the Kauravas. Whatever u say & do is a satanic verses & horror story

Why are you naming only Saurabh Tiwary? there are amny other players who are just selected for only 1-2 series and then dropped for another 2-3 years.best example is the man who is selected recently for the eng series and he is none other than the player from Bengal Manoj Tiwary.
you need to look at the other things,yes its the right thing to blame srikanth for this because he is the one responsible for all these debacles but be happy that a talented cricketer like Manoj Tiwary is finally selected,he is immensely talented batsman who can score quick runs if needed and of course hold an innings,Saurabh on the other hand is too much aggresive and under these english conditions he would have struggled.another one plus point for manoj is his form and confidence that he gainded form the emerging tournament in australia.so overall i would say the selection of tiwary is a good move.
if u want to see Saurabh Tiwary then why not Yusuf Pathan who played so well in a bouncy and fast track against saf this year? so when YP is not selected i dont see any reason why Saurabh Tiwary shld be selected.
Overall Srikanth did blunders in selection process through out this Eng tour,he immediately needs to be sacked so that a new seletor could abt a change in indian cricket.

It is time for the BCCI to rebuild the team. To me for the Australian Tour, we have to drop VVS, Sachin and in their places Rahane, Pujara, Badri, Abhinav, Rayudu, Tiwary should be given chances to test their skills. They should play along with Dravid so that they can learn how to build the innings. His concentration, determination in facing each delivery will be a big lesson for these youngsters. These real-time experience for these players with him will bring more laurerls for the country in the years to come.
Regarding Sachin, please call Bangaladesh team to tour India so that he may complete his 100th century.
Regarding VVS, he is the best player to play Aussies attack. If he is in team, we are not able to give a chance to any young players. He already toured a lot to Australia may be he can give his advice how the players to propel in the Australian tour.
Also sack harbhajan singh, now the opposition is playing beautifully in foreign soil. In his place we have to bring Ashwin, Ojha or Abdullah.
It is time for BCCI to build our Bench strength.
Please sack Fletcher and in his place either Sandeep Patil or Anil Kumble should be our Coach.
Also sack our Bowling Coach, in his place Manoj Prabhakar should be advised to do the national duty. Before any tour begins, Sourav should be asked to give a pep-talk to our team.

Anand Swaminathan:
Well,u made some valid points which one needs to consider.see i agree with your point that BCCI shld now make a set of fresh team.since u r talking abt tests by replacing sachin and laxman i would like to say we need not drop laxman for the aus tour bcoz he is an imp player and against them he becomes even more dangerous and having him in the team is psychological advantage against the mighty aussies.now coming to ur point of including rayadu in the test side i think this is a bad move,rayadu who is a odi player should first play and be a good ODI player before moivng into tests,rest players which u mentioned is all fine with a trio of badri,pujara and rahane.but IMO instead of badri i would like to see Kohli.Mukund can be given a chance as the third opener.
coming to ur 4th point,of removing bhajji,i agree he should be removed but only from the odi side but plz we need to play him in the test series specially when we knw we are playing against aussies(by playing him we will get a experience spinner and a psychological advantage).with the other spinner as ashwin(in reserve for tests).
u made a very good point of abdullah's inclusion and i think one needs to look into it.he is a promising youngster with a lot of variation and he will be effective in odis.so drop bhajji from odis and play abdullah and ashwin in odis.ojha is also a option so it will be a toss up b/w abdullah and ojha which i think will favour ojha.
Re: Re: Re: Australian tour
by Mr Bean on Sep 06, 2011 06:37 PM
(continued) so it will be ashwin and ojha/abdullah in the odi team against aus.coming to Fletcher his selection itself was poor and one can easily see he is unable to manage ths high prolific indian team but since he is selected now just give him some time and i m sure he will do good for the indian team.same with the bowling coach as well.
You idiot look what you have done by giving warning earlier today that you will bowl more short pitch stuff to Indian batsmen you have Scared The God ,now he is not playing.Now how the hell we will see Shatakon ka Shatak MahaShatak,Please dont scare Our Batsmen,We believe in non violence   Â
Indian selectors can no longer escape from their responsibility by pushing the ball towards aging cricketers who have reached the superannuation age.They keep repeating that they are best judge of timing to call quits.Why would any player hang the boots when stakes involved are very high & feel that he still has few years of cricket left in him.The list of players who should be asked to retire on their own includes Sachin,VVS,Zahir while RP Singh,Harbhajan & Yuvraj should play domestic cricket for one year before they be considered for anymore international duties.
Re: The time has come to bid good bye to old war horses
by Mr Bean on Sep 06, 2011 06:44 PM
completely disagree.why would you want a player like yuvi to retire who was man of the WC few months back? i m actually surprised seeing u talking abt yuvi's retirement.give him some time,our all indian players are injury prone so will u want everyone to retire? just give some time to him he will surely do well for the team,i agree with u its high time sachin the so called god retires from internaitonal cricker,regarding laxman give him 1-2 series and then we shld talk abt him,zaheer should not be considered for retirement we need to preserve him now,remember he is still india's best bowler and will continue to be,i say rest him for odis and just make him play in tests because we really want his experience.
Re: Re: The time has come to bid good bye to old war horses
by pradeep agarwal on Sep 06, 2011 07:12 PM
I have not suggested Yuvi & Zaheer to retire but one year of domestic cricket to prove their fitness.We can't afford a situation similar to what is happening now thanks to fitness issue of Zaheer khan who has a history of breakdowns. Laxman is no longer fit to play at this level regardless of his quality as batsman.
