It is unfortunate that many of us mistake success in shorter version to be cricketing glory. True cricket is where you slog for 5 days which is the ultimate test for grit, determination & oes true talent. As one of the observers on the board has said, in few years, Indian cricket shallbe like our present hockey is not without merits. We should watch out.. none of the present indian cricket players may have the grit & stamina to lost 5 days! They want to play for 4 hours & dine & dance for the rest of the day!!
Taylor you are wrong! Ask Srikant, he will tellyou any batsman from TN including his son can replace anyone in not only Indian cricket but worldover! Has he not replaced VVS by Badri!?...You should have only the will! SAD
none r replaceable! but how they r replaced and under what condition, matters!
both were decent gentlemen players! such people r less seen nowadays in Indian top class cricket! just like sincere honest ones from the top of the pick indian politicians in India are raitity! self glorifying and scratching one another's back are the norm nowadays!
just read an article in cricinfo.It seems the under-19 teams of pakistan and India re staying in service apartments and have to do their own cooking,cleaning etc.PITY!! can't the boards provide the players with atleast 3-star hotels with basic food and facilities?
Great guys, sad to see bow out after so many exciting years, but it happens even to the best. But you'd think that with 1.3 billion population and Cricket being The Sport of the land, that finding a hundred replacement for any one cricketer, even at the level of Laxman or Dravid, wouldn't be that difficult?? What does it say about the state of development of cricket talent in the land?

But it is a fact. Don't under estimate anybody who played truly for the interest of Country. And you laugh will tell how mad you are

Gomes..youmust be a footballer...dont talk about cricket.. Two of the best gentleman cricket has seen.
Most of us feel that it is Sachin should have called it a day, unfortunately it turned out to be Laxman. Laxman has at least two years of good cricket left in him. Laxman is a real test class batsman. Time has come for us to start a slogan 'Sachin, take rest and become a full time MP'. Bcoz we are fed up with his records, which are nothing to do with Indias victories. India was never short of great batsman.
ganguly, dravid and laxman are great players .. but india have not find replacement for dravid, ganguly, laxman... they should creat giving opportunity to v,koli, gambir and raina or yuvaraj... evry match they chnging players.. so all are not having confident.. now sachin also will be out in near future.. so india need have great players like them..
congratz for our badri for finally getting recognised for his talent srikant sir deserves kudos for taking these steps. now future of indian test cricket is in safe hands of ashwin and badri. hope both sehwag and gambhur fail miserably so that mukund and murali vijay get back the places they rightly deserve. also i would love to see balaji and sreesanth in the team. if that happens india will be no 1 once again
