What a revelation, Dhoni
by LOL on Jan 08, 2012 10:22 PM

master shot like your helicopter shot... but both are mistimed and misconstrued... they make for poor taste when we see Aussies rpe Indians layer by layer.. with no possible solutions or answers.. dhoni.. you thought you are a great match winner.. but how come you failed so badly with the bat in second knock whrn ashwin can score 60 runs!

For heavens sake dont ever appear in a TV advt again.. we feel like vommitting.

enough of excuses Mr. Captain! It's time to deliver....
by K Ram on Jan 08, 2012 08:36 AM

Even though Tendulkar's 100th ton is not happening, I do not think he's doing any badly. I'm sure his average since his 99th ton must be 40 plus atleast if not 50 plus. Why then, people are asking for his head? Where are the replacements for Tendulkar, Laxman and Dravid? When we're yet to find the replacement for Ganguly even after many years of his retirement and with the tried ones nowhere up to the mark despite numerous chances given to them on a platter, people are asking for a complete revamp. Grooming of fresh talent should be done in a phased manner and not completely. Does anyone believe, the Pujaras, Rohits,Badris and the Kohlis are anywhere near the class of the Tendulkars, Laxmans and Dravids? I'm afraid, NO! No doubt, problem with India right now is only the batting and with such paltry scores in the kitty even the finest bowlers' morale will be dented. Let the openers first give the team a solid start. Let Mr. Sehwang learn to respect the opposition's bowling and learn to play a longer innings instead of a quick 30 or 40. Let Gambhir be shown the exit doors. Let his dummy second innings knock be not given any weightage. Virat and Dhoni stand completely exposed and instead of wasting time with Kohli, let Rohit be tried. And finally, do not blame as if we lost only because Laxman failed to score big. Just because, he doesn't have a backing and he's an easy meat to point all your fingers at...

Dhoni ur wrong
by Indian on Jan 07, 2012 11:52 AM

U were down even b4 u boarded the plane to australia.
play the remaining two tests against Australia's women's cricket team so that Indian fans will have something to cheer about atlast and will very soon forget all the inadequacies staring this team...
Also giddu will get his 100th ton, which anyways is more important to us than victory.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni & Team
by Shailesh Lokhanday on Jan 07, 2012 11:10 AM

If they don't want play test, give a chance to younger players. In my view, Mahendra Singh Dhoni & his team are in holiday mood not in Cricket.

Indian cricketers are overrated.
by Ravi on Jan 07, 2012 09:04 AM

Good that we lost this series. Time for introspection.

I guess only South Africa is a quality team in world cricket as of today.

we alone cann't be the winning team when it is cricket
by Sajee KumarCG on Jan 07, 2012 08:54 AM

India won the World cup in 2011 and now we have to pay for that for India alone cann't be the winning team for whatever reason it is. wait our turn will come again to loose the world cup and win test matches. Love the game n enjoy whatever is the result. Secondly, one should not expect Tendulkar to score hundred always because it is cricket one may be out at any time. He has entertained us. Why should we count only the hundreds. Anybody can be out on any score ranging from 0 to any score say 600 its all possible only when the game progresses to that extent. There are bowlers too to perform.They are also players not ready to give runs. People barking at Tendulkar should stop saying anything against him because he scored 99 centuries , therefore, everybody wants one more 100 . stop nonsense,Is it his mistake that he scored 99 hundreds? let him play cricket that he is able to without any target. That is cricket.
