India needs to groom Rahane(opener), Manoj Towary, Cheteshwar Pujara(middle order)etc. As Tiwary is very unlucky so far he definitely deserves some respect and opportunities against Sharma or even Raina. Future team may be; Gambhir Rahane (Tiwary can open if Rahane is out of form) Kohli Pujara Tiwary Raina/Yuvi/Sharma(depending on availability and form) Dhoni(Saha as a substitute is needed) Irphan(considering Australian pitches)/Yusuf Pathan(considering recent failure of Jadeja) Ashwin Yadav/Aaron VK/PK

Brett Lee clearly blocked tendulkar's way. he ran towards the ball and once he reached in line with tendulkar, he stopped. it was blatant. but what tendulkar did was not very smart. the umpires were talking to each other. he should have stayed there and maybe the umpires would have referred it to third umpire. but if you readily walk off (after a minor show of disappoinment), the umpires are not gonna run behind you and ask you to come back. but staying back there, you put some pressure on the umpires to check with third umpire. these are some of the subtilities that our team has to learn.

if sachin wud hav stayed in the middle waiting for the umpires, then there wud be no diff between the australians and us... In spirit of the game, wht sachin did was right... though justice failed...

Mr.T acts always gentle,but it would be fine as long as he plays single in games,but cricket is a team work and by doing gentle things walked-out of pitch never be justified,by doing this he leads the teams failures.
@skmr: So According to you based on your earlier posts here: If India wins - It is match fixing? If India loses - It is because of IPL If India ties - It is because of BCCI If Match abandon - It is because of poor captaincy
Warner Watson Clarke Hussey Hussey D Wade Christian Doherty Lee Pattinson Hilfenhaus
That is a bowling attack of Pattinson, Lee, Hilfenhaus, Doherty, Watson (Christian, Hussey and Clarke to bowl a few)
Watch out Kohli as that is a mighty fine side. Even the likes of Razzaq have had a one off big game and so mind your swagger - esp in face of Pattinson.

Where is Peter Forrest? Surely in form and only australian to make a 100 is not good ?
Australians are not playing in the spirit of the game. What is new virat kohli. Australia always play like that. They cheat and bribe players umpires. Did you not see steve bucknor decisions last time. This is how australia has been winning world cup and test matches.
Think of something new virat. May be nobody told you this which even every child who watches cricket knows

Kaif??? did he ever have beyond 60 average in his career? You cant compare them. Even Kanitkar won a match for India but this guy is consistent
This was second best match I have watched. First was natwest series in 2002 against England where Yuvraj and Kaif done the job for India. However, kaif is nowhere in picture now and Virat really resembls to Kaif and do not want him to be part of history like Kaif.

U r right.. atleast Kaif was a modest person.. this guy seems too hot headed..sucess might just go to his head..

He is hot headed but gives back what he gets which is a good sign!!We should have players who are ready to take abuse from White players - England,Australia,New zealand,South Africa and give it right back!!Its really frustrating to watch Indian players suffer humiliation silently!!And also we can safely assume that Virat Kohli is the only player who can challenge Sachin's records!!
Re: Re: Re: Caution to Virat
by Raj Thakre on Mar 01, 2012 04:07 AM
It's good if Virat breaks Sachin's record. But if you observe Sachin 1t 23 and Virat now (at 23), there is a tremendous difference in class which Virat doesn't have
he is still a one match wonder and should not be opening his mouth so loud..!! he should learn to be humble to achieve further glory and fame..still a long way to go?

He has scored 9 centuries at an avg. of 45 and he was the only player who played well against aus. in recent test series while the greats flopped.
