CSK vs other teams incl SA,Aus players :)) And when ball get old.Watch his matches against MI , whenever wkt falls early, he come at no 6-7 to avoid new ball firey spells. But when wkt suites , healthy position, then he promote himself at no 4.(And poor Raina/other player can not do anything when there is chance to score, captian himself promotes on favarable condition). anyway, he is luckiest captain who got best team in last20 yr.
All of us remember the 66 all out in Durban.. This is a touch better...one opines.
You get so busy minting money in the sub-continent that you don't have the time to practice for bouncy tracks..where the cherry is doing a bit off the seam..where the cherry is not a tame little object hovering around ur hips... All Indian batsmen barring rare exceptions..have hopped...skipped.. jumped and fished (read outside off stump) under such circumstances, ironically since the time India became a cricketing super-power (read money machine)

The stalwarts of Indian cricket could not chase down a score of "120" in the Barbados track... what more do we expect from the IPL tigers!!
I think why Pakistan won the series because they were able stop SA Batsmen from free scoring and restricted them below 250 runs.We have perhaps worst bowling attack in the world on foreign pitches.This has never changed in India.We will loose remaining match also and in Tests we must be ready for 2/0 score in favor of SA.By watching plight of England team in Austarlia we can well imagine what is going to happen with our team.Now we have to face and accept the reality of our over hyped team.
Many went euphoric and commented it is time for Sachin to retire. Many have made young players "heros" when they scored runs in "Indian/Asian" grounds. Infact, it is degrading Sachin to compare with any one and justifying. Consistency for years and playing for years is the key. Let us see any one fill the gap. People used to switch off TV sets when Sachin got out. Let us see any one will emerge now like that in near future. If it happens, it is good for Indian team.
India's best response to this debacle should be banning all 4 SA players from playing in the I P L!
When WI players can allow India to win even though WI is a good enough team that can defeat India, simply because their players make good money playing in the I P L, why can't these SA clowns follow suit?!
How dare the SA team defeat India after 4 of their players making 60% of their annual income playing in the I P L!
There is nothing wrong in banning these SA players!
This is what is called the Congress Party way of dealing with opponents!
It is high time we started applying it to the I P L!
After all, p1mp Congress Party leader RajivShukla doesn't hang around I P L's corridors of power just because he looks like S R K 's twin, does he?!

Banning South Africa players is not solution instead learn playing on Bouncy pitch out of India. It is surprising how team like India had lost series to SA whereas PAK(No compare with India)had defeated SA 2-1 in SA Surprising.
