Dilshan (Inconsistent) vs Sehwag (Consistently slashes at wide deliveries & gives good catch practice to Third man)
Jayawardene (Leads from the front & provides brisk start) vs Sachin (Still thinking about the elusive Ton & testing our patience)
Sangakara (One of the best even if in poor form) vs Gambhir (Loves to keep poking outside offstump)
Chandimal (Talented youngster who keeps his mouth shut & performs) vs Virat Kohli (Bad attitude, big mouth & troublesome finger)
Thirimanne (Useful in middle order & good fielder) vs Raina (Fantastic fielder, highly inconsistent)
Angelo Mathews (Fantastic allrounder, good finisher) vs MSD (Fantastic finisher, in the line of fire now)
Fervez Maharoof (Gives his 100% with ball & bat) vs Jadeja (Fantastic fielder, unreliable with bat)
Thissara Perera (fairly good in the field & with the ball, handy pinch hitter) vs Irfan Pathan (handy batsman, on the verge of finding his bowling rhythm)
Rangana Herath (Canny bowler, handy with the bat) vs Ashwin (Cannot bat, pathetic fielder)
Nuwan Kulasekara (Canny bowler, handy with the bat) vs Vinay Kumar (IPL wonder boy, cannot bat)
Lasith Malinga (Toe crusher, wicket taker) vs Umesh Yadav (Express pace going the Mitchell Johnson way, cannot bat)
Man to man, SL is way better than our paper tigers !

Agree in totality with this observation
>>Gambhir - Loves to keep poking outside offstump
He plays as if he doesn't want to hurt the ball, a touch here and a touch there and out he goes. He makes runs whenever he plays with a straight bat. But still doesn't get it and gets out early the next match caressing the ball the way only he could.
How many teams have won a series playin against India in India...... the same England team got trashed in India.. If Australia comes to India the result will favouring India. so can we say that Australia is a bad team.. no!!! the difference is home and away.. any sports this thing happens... even in football the best team looses to a weaker team comparatively when they are playing away.. So its ok i feel.. for sure i am feeling bad about it.. but i am not like others to blame Sachin for that.. He got India to number one ranking in test and in ODI.. with major contribution with bat. but just becoz he did not perform well in England and Australia India lost both the titles.. so still the important player in the team is sachin.. but how long will India depend on him only... whn they will win as a team..??? Good bowling, good batting and good fielding...?? when when when...?? Trust me.. once Sachin is out of the team India will loose so badly and the grounds will be half empty.. Sachin is cricket... Dhoni is spoiling the team unity with his politics... and also below someone commented that Dhoni played a match winning innings??? which match.. Against Australia.. we should have won that long time back.. by luck the ball went for six and than was caught on a no ball... We should have won the match against Sri Lanka also but got into a tie because of him.. or else we should have been in finals without any problems.. Dhoni is selfish... accept it..

What a captian knock. Even if aggresive top order fails, he delievered. .Captian Mahela never dig their player publically even though they too have lot of issues,politics in their country......even what a talented new young players they have..grt (not like our hyped juniors raina (142 matches),Rohit (80 matches),..even our player not come under junior as they played over 100 matches..they are just IPL stars on small grounds.
Without voluntarily retiring these self-serving/shameless leeches viz Sachin/Ganguly/Lakshman/Dravid/Gavaskar/Kapil/Ravi Shastri hegemony denied opportunities of many young/talented BC/SC/ST/Minority players.

shut our mouth & see the performence of your so called young talent like raina, Rohit , Gambhir, Sehwag, jadeja, kohli. They are playing for money only baby. they did not have the skills & talent to play for country.
If you rotate , will that improve dhoni's performance, when was the last time dhoni played a match winning innings...or saved the match...i dont remember one for years
Re: donno how tendulkar's rotation will improve dhoni

He did it in the current series again Australia. Also, he did in the world cup finals. Do you watch cricket at all.
