the team deserved to loose playing under an weak captain. people compare pathan and wasim akram but wasim akram used to bowl at good speed even when he was near to retirement but pathan is bowling at about 128km/hrs.where is his pace?only swing not sufficient.
indian poublic and media are the greatest idiots under the sun. when pathan first started bowlin, he was called as another akram. and people believed it. when pathan started batting, he became a kapil dev. and people believed it. when dhoni scored a few, he was called a gilchrist. and people believed it. when dravid won a few, he was called india's best captain in the making. and people believed it.
Pathan was good but never in the same league as Akram. He started off well but then Chappell came in and it all went downhill for him. Pathan started batting... its a good thing isn't it? No Kapil for sure but we need tailenders who can bat. I never liked Dhoni when he first came. He looked so awkward (and still does) when he's at the crease. He plays more tennis than cricket. He's nothing more than a slog over batsman. Mind you he's made a few runs just chipping it around. Dravid is not the best captain. I believe he's there as there is nobody else who would fit the grade.
Dravid looks really weak(mentally) on the ground. Whenever there's a camera on him, it feels as if a negative vibe is radiating from him. Indian Team is highly overrated. They're no better than bangladesh at their best. and Dhoni plays gulli cricket .. Dhoni = Gilly .. :RollLol:
i guess dravid is 2 tense n pressuries.. whn gangualy was captain india did enter semis or even finals. DLF cup v got knock out n even here.\ Good 2 c Kumble,Zaheer ,Jaffer back in action for SA tour
Waste of time. I was at the airport yesterday evening and tons of idiots flocked the television screen. Even at the security check their heads were turned behind to the television.
+1 not just tons, batallions/regiments of those. Gandpuri is also one of 'em. Infact India is full of tohse.
^Not only that .. But tons of idiots giving their strong opinions .. like 1. chaar bowler kya leni ki zaroorat thi .. 2. Pehle batting nahi leta to jeet jaata 3. Blah blah
change OD cricket rules, Say let 11 player each face 5 overs = 55 overs. and run on their own. deduct runs for getting out. let fielders field anywhere in ground what nonsense.. so called world's best batsman got out first ball cos it hit a rough a deviated? it's like playing ronaldo for 10 secs. Then ganguly will be out atleast 5 times and sehwag out 10 with in circle rules removed Lara will still emerge as best batsman then Make it happen sign the petition https://www.cricsphere.com/change-OD_rules/petition.php?pet=12&langid=eng
Introducing/proposing so many new rules might be a proof of the fact that they're tryin to make cricket more interesting .. which inturn proves it is bore
cricket is interesting for players, esp indian. boring is for viewers from second ball onwards. rule changes like power play, super sub are all to get viewers in which is what players and ICICI are interested in. They don't realize that it is not required atleast to get indian spectators. There is crowd even around a snake-charmer here. sehwag gifted eqv 50 lakhs by UK NRIs for his triple century, ain't that enough to keep him interested?? btw Mandira Bedi with noodles blouse is still covering cricket? She was reason why india reached last world cup finals. bring her back, axe sehwag edit: ICCI not ICICI whatever both rich group
