Sachin Tendulkar to donate 10,000 runs to India to get over ‘selfish player’ image
Read more such fun news at timesnever (d.-(0).-t) (c.-(0).-m)
Zaheer was bowling well within himself and relying on bowling around the wicket. Sure, the pitch was not doing anything but a man with almost 300 wickets should do better. Guys like Hilfenhaus who does not have any great pace was troubling the indian batsmen no end.
Clearly it is a sign of the difference in skill levels. Not sure what these highly paid coaches are doing.
Cloudy though some breaks late in the day. Scattered showers, easing during the morning then clearing by early afternoon. Possible early morning thunderstorm.

It ain't matter..India will be all out before tea anyway. :-D.. Aus need only 50 more overs to bowl indians out.
clark made a brilliant triple today. he deserves a pat on his back, not merely for his triple ton but also for unselfishly declaring the innings shwoing that team interest is above the individual interest. n it wasnt a decision by other capt. buy by his own as capt. hats off to him.

Indian bowlers are toothless without any work ethic. Not their fault as we rely on spinners to win us matches. The last One hour of yesterday's play will give the difference between our bowlers and theirs.
India failed miserably in England and lost 4-0. The way they are playing in Australia they will also get a drubbing of 4-0. BCCI is responsible for this because they purposely do not make lively pitches in India. This team will come back to India and the so called great cricketers will score tons and everbody will forget the miserable games outside india.
1.If sehwag's gone half the match is gone . 2.every non performing cricketers find form against India. 3.the great wall of india has been broken between bat and pad. 4.Indian bowlers shd try under arm bowling with the same pace . 5.Gauti,and Ashwin are really on honeymoon trip,VVS and Virat are on lazy trip without performances. Overall india has lost 5 out of 5 in the last 5 .Add 1 to tht tommorrow..HATE THIS BOWLING LINE -UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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.
