Yeterday, I predicted that Clark would score 325 and Hussy would get his ton and then the declaration will come. My prediction for India was 125/4.. but india managed to do better than that.. :-).. tomorrow's prediction..

India : 295 all out (Sachin : 130*, Gambhir : 82, Laxman - 19, Dhoni - 22, Kohli -8)

Jaguar that is brave of you to make such predictions. But I would only like to hazard a guess that the match would be over just after tea tomorrow. This Indian team does not have the stomach to fight back against a strong Ozzie attack. My hunch is that they would tip the scales at 300 but will be vanquished. A bitter defeat for us to swallow.

clarke is unselfish and plays for the team that is why he did not try to suroass bradman,s score 0f 334. not like selfish tendulkar who started crying when stranded on 194 not out

Alegavi:

Where did you pick up "crying" from? By your logic if Clarke was unselfish, he should have declared when on 294!! ;-)

When did he STOP crying, then?

what a respect for the greatest Bradman! My own respect for Clarke just went to the top. hats off. That shows the true character of a person and the true character of a nation [not to self critic but we Indians would not do such in next 10 geberation - we are so ever busy to toil and screw our past greatest be it in movie, playback, sports, politics - you just name it]

Captain cool
It has been proved that Dhoni is a lucky captain. When luck favors team wins otherwise fail. He never has any plan B or plan C or plan D. He used to wait for mistakes of opponent but every time that will not happen and ultimately team suffers. He never has some homework with the help of video analysis or coach. He never learns from past defeat (England tour).
His field placing was very poor as shown in 1st test when 28-4 he allows field spread and allows Ponting and Hussey score singles and let them consolidate. In 2 nd test also he set a defensive field to allow Aus to take singles easily and let them consolidate. In test matches if a player can take singles easily he will well set soon and Dhoni allow to do it.
He never consults with senior players or bowlers for planning and also his body language was very negative. He never shows any aggressiveness in captaincy which will improve the moral of team like Ganguly and Kumble. It was not a claver tactics to bowl Sehwag with a new ball.
In test and one day in his batting position most of the time he remain not out which helps improve his batting average but in fast pitches he failure most of the time. As a senior player he may came before Kohli who is visiting Aus 1 st time and also can think to come in 2 nd or 3 rd down. As a captain should be leading from the front he can promote himself higher but in test he did not do so. Rather he is so claver to promote himself in batting order in WC final when the base was m

made strong by Gambhir. Raina or Yuvi could also do the same as he did. As he did nothing in other matches he saw the opportunity but in the match against SA he did not promote himself. If WC venue was not in India, we could have been knocked out earlier.
It is a very poor record that India loosing test after tests abroad under his captaincy. Also his own performance in fast pitches is very poor.
So, it has been proved by his and team performance under his captaincy that he remains COOL because he knows very well that he knows nothing about captaincy and he has no game plan or home work and all he believes in luck and that’s why he remain cool and always prays everything will be OK in his favor.

he always struggle except for 2003 series. two guns gone - sehwag as usual and dravid is slow now. two other oldies will follow soon. ashwin will hit 50 and suddenly our search for all-rounder will be over. dhoni will score 50 which will have no meaning. this time tail will also wag a bit.

If anybody leaves every ball even if there is a 0.05 % chance of getting out he will score ...his scores are worthless as they all contribute to the team losing as they did in England

As to my father he happens to be your grandfather ...ask your moommy

Sehwag should be kicked out
by Mahesh V on Jan 05, 2012 11:09 AM

This fellow seems to be throwing away his wicket time and again and our useless commentators keep appreciating him for this and say "This is the way Sehwag plays". If it is his day then catches are dropped and he scores big, which is once in a blue moon.
He should be firast kicked out of the team.
