Hey SP...

Well u cant ignore Sehwag can u.. First match he plays as if he is the most irresponsible of the lot.. 2nd match he plays as if he the best there is....its best u leave him alone n let him play like he wants..

about the fab4.. they are really going thru a very bad patch... ntns going rt for them..

but atleast India are doing well in this match... guess.. thats what matters!!!

it will take a while for upms for getting used to right now they seem be unsure of themselves...

SP, SB - there was something about RD's review, that Mahela chatted up the umpire before asking for a review.
SRT will score in the last test, break record etc. Hopefully the series will still be alive.

its amazing SB, how so much experience evaporates in thin air when serious questioned are asked...

even he knew it was trap for him to keep bowling outside and still threw it away like teenager in his early days...now this is his forth successive soft dismissal...

dravid survived anyhow ball kept hitting his pads lots of close appeals but to give him he kept his focus and then when it seems he is getting in his groove played shot against his very technique...no wonder he was so livid on himself?...

2008-08-02T16:52:00.000+05:30

Sachin played like a noob today....lacked patience and maturity. Dravid showed some stirrings of success but Murali speared one in.

of the fab four dravid appears more fallible than others so i would include RS for RD...

2008-08-02T12:01:00.000+05:30

yes, Rohit should be given test cap. he can prove his worth under pressure too. But we need at least 3 alternate batsmen to replace, unfortunately we have in squad only one i.e.RS. All the three performing equal...who would be the best for Rohit?

they should take a clue from sehwag...the way he played both mendis and murli...specially mendis...who he treated like a club bowler yesterday...

VM!!

you wont give up on dravid & co. will you? :)

the case with them is that while sachin showed sparkling form not too long ago...whilst dravid has appeared far too shaky of his stature...for quite a while now...to the point it has really started to hurt...

i cant see kumble going beyond oz series as captain and once he is not captain he will find it very hard to find a place in the team...is my assessment...

2008-08-01T22:17:00.000+05:30

Other than Sehwag, Gambhir and Laxman the whole Indian batting line up has been disappointing, nobody else has been able to read Mendis properly.
They will only pick him up if they focus on his grip it will make him predictable. He is not an ordinary bowler yes he has five different grips but all the spinners alter their grip to bowl their differrent deliveries.
The match is still poised and if India takes a few early wickets tommorrow they can gain some advantage.

2008-08-01T21:34:00.000+05:30

Hats off to Sehwag. It was his match completely thus far. It angers me that Sachin doesn't face even a fraction of the flak that Ganguly and Dravid have been facing. No one ever say Sachin and sack in the same sentence. I would persist with the duo that you see to sack, SP. Some people will put up with any number of Yuvraj-ian failures. Is that only because he is young? Or because he turns it on, once in a bluemoon when he choses to? But that is another story alltogather.

2008-08-01T20:28:00.000+05:30

some analogy ab.
for starters kumble could call himself something like Symbol (wasn't that one of Prince's aliases) - and Anil bhai is very symbolic.

2008-08-01T20:15:00.000+05:30

Virender Sehwag is a valuable batsman, is shown from the fact that on good days he can win you matches. It's good to judge a player on his good day at office, as a zero on a bad day, can't distinguish a top order batsman from a tail-ender, as the increment to the team total in the latter scenario in both the cases is zero.
Just to add a bit to what SP has said. People have to build their respective careers in any field on a certain USP. it's a very conscious effort. A example here will suffice.
Prince, a singer, is acknowledged as a living genius all over the world, no matter how much you know his talent, whether one has listened him or not, anybody who knows his name, is thrust upon the fact that he is a genius.
And through out his career, he has carefully created and nurtured this USP.
I want to link the above story to Kumble's career.
He is one of the top bowlers in Test cricket today, opponenets consider him a real threat on good days; but through out his career,when it mattered, he couldn' make his achivements count.It is rediculous that a player of his stature got the Test captaincy only when Sachin endorsed it.
Media says, he is denied his due, but i think he himself failed to create and nurture USP for himself.
And this affecting his captaincy.

jokes apart...a very wonderful and thought provoking link...

but what i wanted to say that to grab the attention, enthusiasm and inspiration of youngsters any sports must have their winners or at least who competed...not merely participated...

that's why nation still remembers milkhas...ushas...to name a few...

I dont think my comment adheres to the post. Neverthe less, I found you from another blog in which you had commented on the Indian Contingent. Although I agree to an extent with what you had posted i also disagree a bit nevertheless. Yes winning matter! But then there are a few more factors why the Indian contingent is just 57 in numbers and Kalamadi has remarked that we should not hope for much. Read at :
