srikkanth politics!
by Dilip andCynthia on Aug 23, 2012 04:18 AM

srikkanth wanted aging badrinath in the team for many reasons.. srikkanth may be serving his last tenure as head of selectors. but vvs would have revelled in this series and the upcoming australian and england tour as they have better spinners than us...sad state of indian sports! kick em out... bring unbiased selecdtors..... and by the way the so called mahendra singh dhoni doesnt even deserve to be in a test side....

and even going by ur logic if we assume that indeed sachin innings were in tough foreign conditions and not flat indian pitches it means you agree that sachin is a failure on foreign tough pitches and in reality is only a flat track bully...right?

whenever someone retires, everyone chips in with the same line " His void can not be filled". I don't understand how things still go on and sometimes even in a muuch better way.

IPL - cricket for monkeys
by Rivka Mishra on Aug 20, 2012 01:12 PM  | Hide replies

If you think you're going to get good cricketers coming out of the IPL circuit, then you'd better stop playing cricket. The IPL is a lousy tournament which is made of morons, by the morons and for the morons. Brain dead people watching 4 hours of meaningless slogging, now talking of replacing Dravid and Laxman.

IPL is Dawood Ibrahim's brain child to do match fixings and winning betting money in wholesale.

The next generation have no talent
by Rivka Mishra on Aug 20, 2012 01:09 PM

Take a look at them - Raina, Mukund, M Vijay. None of them can play a test innings. Vijay is the best out of these three, but he isn't going to play more test cricket. Even Yuvraj can't play test cricket. Badrinath is a flop. Kohli and Pujara have played one good test innings each. Let's see how they fare in the future. Replacing good test players with IPL players is a bad idea, and unless India doesn't stop the IPL, Indian cricket is doomed.
