TEST CRICKET
by ganesh pai on Dec 10, 2012 10:35 AM

IPL has spoilt the technique of the cricketers. Batsmen are not able to build an innings and Bowlers are not able to take wickets. Only specialist batsmen and bowlers should play test cricket. T20 is a game of bits and pieces players where technique is not as important as getting the runs and wickets

cook captain material
by Banu on Dec 10, 2012 10:34 AM

He has used 5 bowlers in the first 13 overs bowled in the second innigs of the test .He understands the bowlers should be fresh and also who is in good rhythm.
Dhoni has never done this, also not used parttime bowlers to keep the main bowlers fresh.On single day 4 bowlers have to bowl more than 20 overs the part timers 5overs will be handy to keep the fresh and can bowl the next day. When bowlers do not get wickets usage of parttimers may help on placid tracks/any track.

Dhoni is the worst player
by manoj phadke on Dec 10, 2012 09:57 AM  | Hide replies

Dhoni is the worst player as a batsmen and as a captain too.
Forget about the two world cups.those were the collective efforts.
tell me except in the world cup finals, how much he has played captain's knock like played by Steve waugh?i prefer Team India "A" should be played as Team India .they will play better than these exhausted seniors.i dont get an idea as why harbhajan and yuvi were given the chance.so is the case about Gambhir.every one is playing like a T20 player. all of these players are eying on IPL league, where they are going to earn crores of rupees.

sachin is part of gavaskar culture of selfishness.Personeel glory has been imp for gavaskar,shastri and then came to sachin.guys like kapil,amarnath,yuvraj palyed to make india win.Ponting said Lara was more dangerous than Sachin as Lara won more matches.i do not why he does not retire to start a new era.

Selectors Wake Up And Show Spine !!!

Dear mr.Dhoni &company, Please do not behave like GREEDY Indian politicians , who will NEVER leave their power chairs for their personal gains..It is high time u & the great little master quit the game for the time being ,if not for ever. Nobody can under mine your&Sachins achievements for the GENTLEMANS game called cricket.It looks that when ever I am on vacations outside India, your team gets a thorough bashing, whether your team is playing overseas or home series. I left India for a trip to Sydney & Newzeland after your glorious win at Ahmedabad. Last year it was in London where your team (full of rabbits ) was badly mauled by the roaring tigers of England. I had no words to explain your dismal/pathetic performance to my relations after England\'s series. I consoled myself by saying , let them come to INDIA and we shall show them the great Indian magic by doctoring pitches for our great magicians(harbinder, ashwin ,ojha & part time magicians like sehwag , uv etc).Test Matches are different ball game unlike the Nautanki ofT -20.In the larger interest of cricket and the India kindly both of u step down & make places available for young blood. Be brave & behave like former P.M.Shri LAL BAHADUR SHASTRI, who as Rail Mantri took responsibility for a rail accident & immediatlly resigned. THANKS.With regards . An old man of 65yrs who has been an ardent admirer and well wisher of both of u. I am sure indians shall call u back after somet

Unless BCCI top management is not governed by Ex Cricketers , Indian Cricket will continue to suffer for the worse only . What are Rajeev Shukla , Sharad Pawar , Arun Jaitley , N. Srinivasan etc doing in BCCI . Harsha Bhogle should be the BCCI President as he has a great understanding of the game as an administrator inspite of not being a cricketer himself . Ravi Shastri , Sunil Gavaskar , Bishen Singh Bedi , Mohinder Amarnath , Anil Kumble , Sourav Ganguly , Rahul Dravid , VVS Laxman , S.Venkatraghvan , Sanjay Manjrekar should be the people who should form the management structure of BCCI . Only then Indian Cricket will start blossoming .IPL should be scrapped immediately .Good Physios and Fitness Trainers have to be brought now by BCCI , so that injuries are taken care of . Dunan Fletcher should be sacked too along with Dhoni , Sachin , Sehwag , Gambhir , Zaheer .

For all these past cricketers you have mentioned, Sachin is indispensable even if scores miserably in successive tests for decades. Has any one of them, except Bedi, said a word against Sachin? They are all idolizing this super nonperformer.
