After India's disastrous performance in England, they travel Down Under to win a test series for the first time in recent history. With bowling spearhead Zaheer's place in doubt and with bowlers who have no experience playing in Australia, India set across to try and make history for the first time. Australia come off from SA after a morale boosting 4th innings win chasing 310 under trying circumstances before being bashed 21/9 in the 1st Test.
After the most acrimonious tour to Australia in 2007/08, both teams will be hell bent on winning the series.
The name is Border Gavaskar Trophy. The battles are legendary.
Let's PLAY.

Australia might beat India 2-1: Steve Waugh
Former Australia captain, Steve Waugh foresees Michael Clarke's men winning 2-1 against India in the Test series starting next month.
Australia will square off against India in a four-match Test series starting on December 26.
"It's a difficult one, but Australia might spring up a surprise and win 2-1," Waugh said.
Waugh, who was part of the review committee on whose recommendation changes were made to the team set-up, said Australia will take time to gel as a team after having a new coaching staff in place.
"We've got through a lot of change in the last six months in Australian cricket. I was part of the Argus review which made a lot of recommendations. Some of those are just being implemented," Waugh told a television channel.
"New coach Micky Arthur, new group of selectors with Clarke and Arthur part of it, so it's a period of change in Australian cricket and may have unsettled the team a little bit.
"So it's probably our biggest danger right now. I see guys out on the park being talented enough to beat any team, but they haven't been together for a long time," he said.
Asked if it is India's best chance to beat the Aussies in their own backyard, Waugh said at least that is the mindset Dhoni's men should have for the tough assignment.
"I hope they think that way because it wont be that easy.
Australia still has world class players, some young players coming in and we are very difficult to beat in Australia, no matter what team we put out in front of our home crowds and home conditions.''
"It's a lot like coming to India and playing in Indian conditions, for any touring side it's always difficult to win away. And particularly in Australia. A hostile environment for opposition teams, spectators are very one sided and our pitches suit our bowlers more than in any other country," he said.
Recalling the infamous 2008 series in which the two sides were embroiled in 'monkeygate' scandal, Waugh hoped that the bitterness has been forgotten.
"Hope that it doesn't play on the minds of the teams.
It's good sometimes that you create some tradition and history and it wasn't the best thing to look back on.
"It created headlines, a lot of publicity, got people talking about cricket. It was unfortunate it happened and unfortunate the way it was handed and kept going on and on.
But these are two different sides so its best to forget the past and move on," he said.
On whether India has become a more intimidating outfit since the 2008 series, Waugh said, "it has changed over the last 15 years, they have become a serious threat now. When I was playing, India and Australia were two top Test playing sides and that's carried on today as well."
"Two very competitive sides at the top of world cricket.
The Border Gavaskar trophy is pretty special to the players, it's almost on par with the Ashes from an Australian point of view, so all of Australia is looking forward to it," he said.
Waugh felt if the injured Zaheer Khan, who has been provisionally taken in the squad, fails to turn up match fit, India could find themselves in a soup.
"Absence of Zaheer would obviously matter as it gives India the edge. He's been a world class quick over the last few years" he said.
Talking about the youngsters in the Indian team, Waugh said they bring with them the element of surprise which might be tough for the Aussies to handle.
"I think it's going to be the surprise element of your bowlers. Just recently watched a bit against the West Indies, so I liked the young quicks you got - Umesh Yadav and Varun Aaron.
"I also liked the two spinners (R Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha). They've done a good job and compliment themselves well.
So, they are bowlers the Aussies haven't seen much, so as such they will be a danger," he said.

it would be sometimes good if we don't play the second half of the hosts' summer. Sri Lanka consumed the bad form of some English players and prepared them for the India tour earlier this year. Likewise, New Zealand might do it for Australia. Scheduling seems to play a big part in series results

Don't think that tour will have a major bearing on our series with the Aussies fielding almost a second XI. Nevertheless, it would be exciting to see how the likes of Starc, Warner perform. NZ plundered a similar attack in the warm up game with Ryder smashing a world record 16 sixers. Originally Posted by 19thmay

Satissh - that is precisely the point. The real players are resting now and are getting out their injury bad luck - they'll be back fresh for India tour after seasoning well and getting tired. Pontings will play back to form against NZ. In that way, this is a perfect set of practice matches for Aus for the India tour.

in other news Zak has picked a wicket in his first over..other than Mithun..how about Vinay kumar/Bhuvneshwar kumar as replacements?
-
From: sivank on 30th November 2011 03:38 PM [Full View]
I really wish that Irfan should be given another chance. I mean speed wise he is around the same league as PK. If he could find his rhythm and swing during the initial overs which is the strong point of PK he should do well, an added plus is his batting which is 100% better than PK or AM, VK, BK etc.
Dhoni should forget and forgive what happened during GC period and IK has also matured a bit from those days

India in Australia 2011-12
India's Test specialists to leave early for Australia
Sidharth Monga
November 30, 2011
The Test specialists of the Indian squad will leave early for Australia, even as the ODI team completes its home assignment against West Indies. A board official told ESPNcricinfo that Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Ishant Sharma and Pragyan Ojha are likely to be on an early flight, the exact date for which is yet to be decided. They will leave either on December 8 or after the BCCI awards function on December 10. India's first tour game begins on December 15, eleven days prior to the Boxing Day Test.
Laxman, one of India's Tests-only players, welcomed the development. "Luckily for us we are going ahead this time, so we will get a lot of time and opportunity to get acclimatised to those conditions," Laxman told ESPNcricinfo. "I firmly believe that how much ever simulation you do in India, it's always important to get to Australia and get used to the conditions. The net practices and training sessions will be very critical for us to get used to the conditions as early as possible.
"Personally, because of past experiences, you know if you do certain kind of drills it will help you to get used to the bounce. But it is not the same as actually batting there." Laxman, though, didn't know when exactly he will be flying and who he will be flying with.
Unlike India's last tour of Australia, when the team left immediately after completing a Test series against Pakistan, this schedule allows the Tests specialists more flexibility in their preparations. The last time, the BCCI attracted flak for arranging only one warm-up game; this time, India will be playing two warm-up games before they face Australia in the first Test in Melbourne.
Last year as well, the Test specialists left early for the tour of South Africa, while the ODI side played against New Zealand at home.

who replaces PK? Vinaya Seelan, Mithuna Raasi, HS Aravind - anytime Irfan better than these no? Who knows, he could be what Sehwag was in 08? The forgotten man who didn't look like he was any better now in domestic but delivered big time when he came back. I have a hunch Irfan could be it this time - if selected. Why don't we gamble? I mean, it is not as if Ishant, Varun and Umesh make a lethal combo, no?

Wizzy - honestly, his name didn't cross my mind.

Didn't notice Sivan's post before - what indiscretions Irfan committed during Greg Seruppu's time? And 7 wickets, eh? Timely!

Even if Zk plays 2 tests it would a great trade off..honestly I don't see India winning a test in OZ w/o Zk..
Dhoni alleged altercation with Irfan started over a friendly family remark and it spilled over when Dhoni offered to quit when Irfan was
selected over RP and the nadir was Dharamsala
with the way Jimmy is marking out each of Dhoni's buddies from the team wouldn't be surprised if Irfan is selected for OZ

Yuvi/Dhoni friendship goes a long way..If it wasn't for Dhoni he would have been dropped long time for the fitness issues during Gary times..Gary chided Mishra,Rohit,Ojha,The Yuvi for their fitness and not being keen on training session after the world t-20 debacle in England..except Yuvi others got the chop..Yuvi/Dhoni have stakes in Myntra/Coolmaal..Coolmaal is the official merchandiser for CSK...

Well, it's horses for courses Wizzy. What is there to choose between Mithunam and Pathanam? Not much speed difference. Mithun is not an outstanding swing/seam bowler. Not a better batsman. What Irfan does have is experience of two Aussie tours. Common sense suggests it would be a calculated gmable to take him instead of Mithun. It is not as if we are choosing Welegedera over Vaas by choosing Irfan over Mithun, no?

Innum avara pathi theriya enna irukku? He is useless.
Mukund is better. He is fearless and shows some determination. He is worth a try if Gambhir is injured.
With the current form, Rohith should play at no.6 instead of Kohli. IMO, Kohli is too impatient for test cricket.

There is a time to reward service(Mothun did go on two tough away tours for medium pacers and acquitted himself decently so deserves opportunities) but there are times for gambles - this tour we have to gamble. You don't win an Aussie tour by playing it safe. I remmeber the. 1986 tour - set to score 126 in 25 overs for a Series win, Amarnath and Sunny bhai plodded to a safe 59/1 in 25 overs. I mean, what was the point? To win in Aus, you must be prepared to lose. Irfan might fo awry and lose the series for you then again he might turn it on like in Perth, 08. Mithun is just going to be there without making any difference - a work experience kid, in British parlance.

That's the point. If he doesn't hit 3 hundreds in this series, he must retire. He will not, therefore he will - if you see what I mean. No point him plodding around for one century a series and occasional match winning knocks. Dravid, too, perhaps in the next year or so. And as for the "elephant in the room"....

Steyn gets the away movement going again, this time from leg stump. It landed on a length and opened Pujara up as he desperately tried to cover the line. It defeated his prod and thudded into the back pad in front of middle. What. A. Ball.

Australia news
Cummins sidelined until mid-January
Brydon Coverdale in Hobart
December 7, 2011
Fast bowler Pat Cummins might not play another Test this summer after being diagnosed with a bone stress injury in his foot. Cummins, 18, was a revelation during his Test debut in Johannesburg last month, where he took seven wickets, hit the winning runs and was Man of the Match.
However, he is not expected to bowl again until early to mid January due to his injury, which initially ruled him out of the New Zealand series. The lack of Sheffield Shield cricket in January, when the Big Bash League takes centre stage, means Australia would be gambling if they reintroduced Cummins into the Test side for the end of the series against India, which finishes in Adelaide in late January.
"Patrick injured his heel early into the second Test against South Africa," Australia's physio Alex Kountouris said. "By the end of the match he was quite sore and we had scans done after the game that confirmed heel 'fat pad' injury. On return to Australia, he was given some time to recover and was reviewed throughout last week by NSW medical staff and then by myself in Brisbane during the first Test versus New Zealand.
"By the end of last week it was apparent to all of us managing him that he was progressing slower than expected for a soft tissue injury of the heel. As such we arranged for him to see a foot specialist and had further scans that have identified a bone component to his injury, that was not evident on the original scans.
"We now believe that Patrick has a bone stress injury as well as the 'fat pad' injury. This means that his recovery will take longer than first expected. He is not likely to resume bowling until early to mid-January 2012."
Pat Howard, the Cricket Australia general manager of team performance, said alarm bells had rung when Cummins appeared to be recovering slower than expected on his return home.
"The medical staff took a decision that Patrick's recovery versus previous scans did not seem consistent and proactively made the decision that further scans were required," Howard said. "These scans have revealed a bone stress injury which pushes out his recovery by a few weeks.
"This wasn't picked up in the initial scans done in South Africa. Unfortunately this, when combined with Patrick's young age to re-prepare for Test cricket, means that he will miss much of the Indian series."
Australia are already without Mitchell Johnson for the whole Test summer due to a foot injury, while Ryan Harris is confident that he is on track for the Boxing Day Test as he recovers from a hip problem. Australia may need to rely heavily on the young fast bowlers James Pattinson and Mitchell Starc, who made their debuts in Brisbane, against India.

^you had me digging an old Hindu article
"People of Andhra Pradesh distraught over not having a representation in the
current Indian cricket team playing in the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa
need not despair.
In fact, there is a Telugu connection to the team’s victorious campaign.
Promising new find Rohit Sharma of Mumbai has his roots in Visakhapatnam as his
mother Purnima Sharma originally hails from there.
The youngster too can speak Telugu pretty comfortably if not fluently. “We
never thought that he would be there in a World Cup final honestly. But, now we
should all pray that India should win the Cup,” said a delighted Purnima in a
chat."

Page 2 in Cricinfo for B/G Trophy. Choose the options below:
Whose side are you on?
It's Australia v India, so there ought to be some controversy for us to enjoy. But how will you react and who will you back?
1. In pre-series intimidation tactics Brad Haddin announces Australia won't allow Tendulkar to get his 100th hundred at any cost. You will:
Chuckle into the paper and reach for a beer
Splutter into the paper and reach for a spear
Thank god for blessing you with this win-win situation
2. The Indians demand that unless they get chicken tikka masala every Saturday for dinner on tour, they will not play. You wish:
For a food fight during which Ponting and Dhoni get ruled out of the series on the grounds of barbecued-chicken assault
For a bird flu epidemic to break out
You could courier food to Australia
3. Matthew Hayden says the series will be pleasant without the presence of the "obnoxious weed". You will:
Send a thank-you note to the Indian selectors
Light up
Demand said weed be sent to Australia immediately
4. VVS Laxman scores a hundred on the opening day of the series. How do you feel?
Thunder-stealer!
Nice, but retire after this, okay?
We love VVS!
5. Michael Clarke refuses to walk despite the fielder saying the catch is clean. You want to:
Put him in the doghouse, lock the door and throw the key into the ocean
Applaud him for finally showing some Aussie spirit
See some non-racial vilification go down
6. N Srinivasan is pushed off the podium during a trophy presentation ceremony. What do you think?
He's lighter than that Pawar fellow!
How soon can we send fighter jets to Australia?
Ah, trophy, that elusive seductress
7. MS Dhoni does a Ganguly and arrives late for the toss. What do you think?
Say, "Of course, you can say that he had a good reason for being late"
Stuff a baggy green down his mouth
Was he counting sheep then? Log on to message boards and fan the flames
8. Virender Sehwag says the Big Bash is ordinary compared to the IPL. What do you think?
The Big Bash doesn't even have any film stars. Ha!
At least the BBL's not managed by film stars
Wouldn't mind some contracts in either
9. Greg Chappell reckons Australia's young bowling attack will easily topple India's legendary batting line-up. You think:
Only if they bowled under-arm
When it comes to cricket's processes, no one knows better than Greggy!
Good-oh! If Greg says it, the opposite will happen
10. Tendulkar gets his 100th hundred during the series. How do you react?
Say, "He'll never be Braddles"
God, let me die. There's nothing more left in life
Better against the Aussies than the rest of us

Our best chance to win in Australia: Dhoni
Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni reckons that the upcoming four—Test series is his team’s “best chance” of upstaging Australia in their own backyard, but will not take them lightly despite their recent slump.
India and Australia will square off from December 26 in a highly—anticipated series in which the visitors seem to have a good chance, given the struggle through transition that Michael Clarke’s men are enduring.
On a day the Indian players head Down Under, Australia were upstaged in a Test at home by New Zealand for the first time in 26 years.
“Even last time, we had a very good chance and we did perform well. It is not like that the opposition is not doing well (but) it will be the best chance for us,” Dhoni told reporters in a pre—departure press conference here.
“We have to play to the kind of talent that we have got and not worry about such things. We need to work on our strengths and weaknesses. We are more concerned about where we need to work on and not worry about what kind of opposition we are playing,” the skipper stated.
India’s two first-choice pacers - Praveen Kumar and Varun Aaron - were ousted even before the tour started, but Dhoni insisted that led by the experienced Zaheer Khan, the bowling will click Down Under.
“Our bowlers are talented. Of course, when you do not have your main bowlers you need a bit of time. Once the youngsters play more and more games, they will get experienced at the top level.
“I think talent wise, we are there. We have given good exposure to the youngsters who are part of the side now touring Australia,” he said.
Dhoni took a break from cricket by opting out of the just—concluded ODI series against the West Indies at home, and he said he is back a rejuvenated man.
“I needed the break and I am happy that I got it. The team also did really well. I am looking forward to the Australian tour,” he said.
“We have enough time for some preparation before the start of the first test. We are looking good as of now. Hopefully, we do not have too many injuries before the start of the Test series,” he added.
Asked which aspect of the game the Indian team needs to improve on, Dhoni said, “You want to improve in all departments always. You have seen cricketers who have been part of international cricket for more than 10 years still believe in improving and they keep improving. It is a constant process and everyone is part of it.”

But he did hope that Indian fielders, certainly not the best in the circuit by their own admission, would latch on to catches that come their way in Australia.
“We would like to improve in all the three departments.
Catching will be very crucial. Last series that we played in India we did not have so many catching fielders. We need to have a bit more catching fielders. They say catches will win matches.
“It is true, so that will be one of the areas where we have to work on. On big grounds, running between wickets and trying to keep the batsman on strike are also necessary. All these small things help you put pressure on the opposition,” he explained.
Despite the couple of injury setbacks before the tour, Dhoni hoped that players would remain fit through the gruelling tour, which also features a tri—nation ODI series in February—March.
“If you see the injury list, it is quite blank as of now.
More often than not, the 15 or 16 who are in the team will be ready for selection to play. That takes a bit of pressure off, and you need not worry about the playing eleven that much, and most of the players get their berths on merit.
“Apart from that, if you see, the batting lineup is quite the same. Bowling wise we have got Umesh Yadav who can bowl over 140 kmph. I think it looks like a good pack. We need to do well on the field rather than looking at it as to how we look on paper,” he said.
Tours to Australia almost always include a bit of controversy, the ugliest of which was perhaps the 2008 ’monkeygate scandal’.
The two protagonists of the drama - Indian off—spinner Harbhajan Singh and Australian all—rounder Andrew Symonds - are both not part of the series this time, and Dhoni hoped that there wouldn’t be any face—offs of that kind.
“We will try to keep the fireworks (controversies) off. Both teams have talented players, and someone like Virender Sehwag should show fireworks during play.”
“Not on the verbal side, but with the bat. And if the bowlers are going well, the ball will do the talking. Hopefully, we will keep the controversy away,” Dhoni said.
Indian coach Duncan Fletcher, who was also present at the media interaction, said having around half a dozen players including Sachin Tendulkar early in Australia will work to India’s advantage.
“...we have some of the players early in Australia. By putting up two warm—up games, you hope that they adapt during that period of time,” he said.
On Zaheer’s fitness status, given his history of breaking down on long tours, Fletcher said, “From the reports that I get, Zaheer had come to Mumbai and bowled at the nets there and he looked impressive.”
“I think it is very important that he looked to be in very good condition from what we saw in him even when he came to England.
“Secondly, he has got these two games. It will be preparation for him. We do not want to rush him too quickly.
The one three-day game there will be important for him before the first Test,” he added.
Fletcher said India would play to their strengths without thinking about Australia’s weakness. He added that remaining injury free would be crucial to win the Test series.
“It is important we don’t look at their game, but make sure that we performe what we are capable of and stay away from injuries. If we do these we have got a good chance in Australia. They have got some cricketers who are out of form. We just got to be wary and keep them out of form. We got to play to such areas,” he said.
“If we are complacent before going there, it is not good for the team. It is important that we go there with the feeling that they have the best of bowling attack and good batsmen in their ranks. We have got to be very wary and put up the right kind of performances,” he added.
Fletcher said giving breaks to fast bowlers was important and Ishant Sharma was feeling fresh in the Test series against the West Indies.
“Ishant has had a nice rest and come through. He was totally free from injury when he finished the Test in Mumbai.
He has gone out there fresh. It is important that they have little breaks between series.
“The youngsters in the team are keen listeners and they have already started talking about the tour. It is just a matter of talking to them one—on—one to make them think about the game. The most important thing is not to make things too complicated for them, and making sure that they are confident about their ability,” said Fletcher.
Virender Sehwag was at his explosive best with the highest individual ODI score of 219 against the West Indies in Indore, and Dhoni said it was a good omen for the team ahead of the Test series in Australia.
“When it comes to Sehwag, you cannot really say that he is not in form. He always comes up with a brilliant innings like the one during the one—dayers. He puts pressure on the bowler.
In a Test match, if Sehwag stays there for even 30 or 40 overs, he can score a lot of runs,” he said.
“With Gautam, Sehwag runs really well between wickets. It is good to have them in Australia. They understand each other very well. They play for the same state (Delhi). Hopefully, he will perform to his potential in Australia,” Dhoni said.
The Indian captain refused to compare the current side with the one that lost 1—2 to Australia in 2008.
“Some of the present players were not part of 2008 side.
To judge them is quite a difficult task. Anil Kumble was part of 2008 side. The spinners coming in with the team now are not as experienced as Anil.
“It applies to the Australian team also. They had big players like Adam Gilchrist and others. I think that was one of the reasons that missing big names in the present set up, few people think that this is our best chance.
He also refused to make a prediction of the outcome of the series.
“It depends on how we prepare in first 12 days before the first Test. Adapting to conditions is important,” he said.
Dhoni said his side would try to focus on cricket and ensure unsavoury incidents do not happen during the series.
“We did well that time (2008) and quite a few things happened in the series. Most of you watched that. We will try to keep such things away. We are a good side and we need to do well on the field. That is what we are focusing on,” he said.
Dhoni said he was happy with the performance of the team this year, and hoped to continue the good work next year as well.
“Overall, we have done well. We won the World Cup. We have performed consistently well. England series was one that did not go our wa,y but that happens in international cricket. As for 2012, we will try to do well again because we are expected to win each and every tournament. For us, we always try to give our 100 per cent,” he said.
On playing Twenty20 Internationals during a tour, Dhoni said, “It is rather difficult to get into the groove when you have just one T20 game in between Tests and ODIs. We will try to improve and we have two T20 games in Australia. Hopefully, we will do better.”

Harbhajan warns Lyon ahead of India series
Australia's new spin talent Nathan Lyon could develop into a good bowler but the off-spinner will face a tough challenge during the four-Test series against India beginning on Boxing Day, feels out-of-favour Indian tweaker Harbhajan Singh.
"I've watched a bit of Lyon on television and I think he has got a bit about him, he looks like he could develop into a good spinner for Australia," Harbhajan, who has been left out of India's touring Test squad, said.
"But I'm not sure he knows what a big challenge is around the corner for him. There are few better players of spin than batsmen like Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag. Lyon will have his hands full bowling to those guys.
"Sehwag is a guy who likes to play his shots and it will be a big learning series for the new Australian spinner. It will be quite an experience for him," the off-spinner added.
Lyon is the 12th Australian Test spinner since Shane Warne retired but the former Adelaide Oval groundsman has taken just seven Tests to show that he may be the answer to Australia's spin woes.
The unassuming 24-year-old has already taken 22 Test wickets at an impressive average of 24.59 and has showed he is not afraid of flighting the ball and using loop and drift to deceive batsmen.
However, Harbhajan says India's batsmen are a totally different kettle of fish to the New Zealand batsmen who have lost their way against Lyon in the two Tests this summer.
"I think India have got a very strong batting side and it will be a big battle for the spinner (Lyon) and all the rest of the Australian bowlers," Harbhajan said.
While Lyon appears to be blossoming, Harbhajan's 406-wicket Test career has been struck by a combination of poor form and a mysterious shin injury.
The 31-year-old 'Turbanator' was left out of the squad and is not likely to appear in the following one-day series as he will not be able to bowl until mid January at the earliest.
It is possible that the controversial spinner - at the centre of the infamous 'Monkeygate' controversy in 2008 - may never play in Australia again.
"My shin bone is extremely sore and it is very sensitive even just to touch it. The medical people have told me that if I do any more bowling at the moment, I will do more damage and I may end up fracturing the bone," Harbhajan said.
"I have to have rest and there is a match I will try to play on January 25 (in Indian domestic cricket). The main thing is that I try to get strong again before I start bowling.
"It is an injury that has been bothering me for quite a while and has been affecting my bowling in matches," he added.

I have a theory: basically, I believe that the Cricketing Gods horribly mock the most forceful consensus predictions about an upcoming series - example 1. India always bounce back after first test. While this belief was mooted earler during Saffer tour, it wasn't that vocal so we actually did bounce back but when it almost was quoted like a paradigm in the England tour, it didn't work 2. T20 batsmen cannot make it in tests - Warner went and cocked a snook at that, even if only temporarily 3. India-England will be close series was the majority opinion. 4-0. 4. Very often, exactly when a player is mocked majorly as has-been, he does well - Sachin, Rahul etc And in near future ponting too 5. Just when post-warne-aussie-spinner jokes were taken for granted, and Lyon mocled before he started his test career, he ended up being stable. So, with the theory now being warmup matches will prepare india and T20 buig bash will screw oz(like it happened to india in England tour), I think fate will cock a snook at us by getting the preparationless Aussies win and the prepared indians lose

Tendulkar's personal practice assistant keeps the master on his twinkle toes
Andrew Wu
December 19, 201
A MAN who has never played first-class cricket and seemingly has no credentials to warrant being part of a tour is shaping as a key part of India's quest to win their first Test series on Australian soil.
What DVGI Raghavindraa lacks in cricket expertise he makes up for with enthusiasm and his presence in Australia is evidence of the great lengths India have gone to break their drought in this country.
Raghavindraa booked his ticket to Australia not through a torrent of runs or a bag of wickets but for his throw-down skills. And, it's believed, he has come with strong recommendations from Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. It has even been suggested in Indian media that he was asked by Tendulkar to fly to his home in Mumbai last month to help the champion batsman with his Test preparations.
Not much is known about Raghavindraa, who is listed as an ''attendant'' on a BCCI news release, but he is a shy man of few words. Indian media reports he is 27, hails from a town on India's west coast, Kumta, and is an employee at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore.
But he clearly enjoys a strong rapport with Tendulkar, evident yesterday during a net session at Manuka Oval in which he threw balls at the batting maestro for close to an hour - a task previously performed by former coach Gary Kirsten, who has returned to his native South Africa.
Wearing almost a permanent smile, Raghavindraa, known as Ragu to the Indian players, helped Tendulkar prepare for the barrage of outswingers he is likely to receive from young gun James Pattinson.
The session did not always go to plan. After a series of deliveries on his pads, Tendulkar put his bat down for several minutes to show Raghavindraa the wrist position required to enable the ball to shape away from the right-hander. A new ball was required to lessen the difficulty but Raghavindraa learnt quickly.
Just two deliveries later, Raghavindraa, unleashing from about three metres in front of the popping crease, sent down an outswinger, which Tendulkar, after shouldering arms, described as ''perfect'' and gave his thumbs up.
Once when Raghavindraa's radar was askew, Tendulkar gently admonished his partner in Hindi, telling him ''that was a very loose ball''.
Raghavindraa, however, did not appear at all starstruck. After a rare ball did not find the middle of Tendulkar's bat, he had the gumption to ask Test cricket's leading run-scorer whether he had committed too early to the shot. A swift ''no'' was the response.
On another occasion, Tendulkar nodded with approval at one that seamed back. ''A good ball, but I didn't play it,'' Tendulkar said.
Raghavindraa's job sounds easy but he is clearly better at it than Tendulkar's teammates. One player, promising batsman Virat Kohli, raised Tendulkar's ire on two fronts within a handful of throws. It was not until Kohli struck Tendulkar in the midriff with an offcutter that he heeded his decorated teammate's warning to bowl outswingers from several paces further back. The session would have provided an ideal prototype to what Mickey Arthur will have planned for his struggling batsmen in Australia's batting boot camp in Melbourne this week.
Showing the discipline that abandoned Australia's batsmen in Hobart, Tendulkar refrained from chasing wide deliveries to drive and only cut offerings that were at a comfortable height and width.
But, in a sign to encourage Australia's young attack, Tendulkar misjudged one cut shot and offered an edge to the Indian fans watching from where Michael Clarke will have his slip cordon placed in Melbourne.

Chappell's plotting won't benefit hosts much: Ganguly
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly feels that Greg Chappell's presence in the Australian dressing room trying to plot the downfall of Indian batsmen, won't be of much benefit to the home team.A couple of days back, a report in the Daily Telegraph stated that former India coach Chappell has been invited by current coach Mickey Arthur to address Aussie players on how to tackle champion batsman Sachin Tendulkar."Chappell will address the Australian squad for the first Test next week and he is the one man with the knowledge to demystify the champion (Tendulkar) Australia never feel they have got to the bottom of," the report said."To Australian bowlers, Tendulkar has been the master they have never mastered. His record against Australia in Tests -- he averages 60.6 with 11 centuries in 31 Tests -- makes him the greatest Aussie basher of his generation," it further stated.
According to Ganguly, with whom Chappell shared a tumultous captain-coach relationship, the latter's presence in Australia's support staff unit during their tour of India, back in 2008 wasn't of much help.
"If you look back at 2008 series which happened to be my last, Chappell was present in Australian team's support staff. Yet we won the series 2-0. Therefore, I don't think his presence would make any difference this time also," Ganguly told Aaj Tak on Sunday.
Ganguly was also scathing in his comments about how Chappell-the coach operated.
"He came with some personal vendetta and also lacked foresight. He didn't want a settled dressing room. He made mistake after mistake but the then captain Rahul Dravid never had the guts to stop him (Chappell) from his wrongdoing."
Chappell in his recently published autobiography had stated that Ganguly wanted him to be "grateful" for getting him the India coach's job.
"He expected I would be so grateful to him for getting me the job, that I'd become his henchman in his battle to remain captain. I, on the other hand, took on a job with the primary responsibility to Indian cricket and the Indian people," Chappell says in the book Fierce Focus.
Ganguly on his part said that it was his "mistake" to get Chappell the coach's job.
"He was against Tendulkar, Laxman, Zaheer, Harbhajan and all of them have proved to be world class players. They are still performing for their country even now," Ganguly said.
Asked about whether BCCI could have acted more wisely, Ganguly replied, "At that point of time, BCCI was having a change of guard. So there wasn't much they could have done about it."
Another former India captain Kapil Dev feels that Chappell's Australian ways of dealing with situation wasn't in sync with the Indian culture.
"In India, we don't readily shut the door on anyone. There should be a certain degree of respect associated with the manner in which one handles the case of senior players. Look at Gary Kirsten, he did a fabulous job with the Indian team," Kapil stated.

With all due to respect to Ganguly, 'he expected loyalty from Chappell and was outraged Chappell didn't put ching-chak' is not something too far removed from the truth. idhukku culture, ulcer-nu solradhu (paaji) and 'mad-nu' ellAm solradhu three much. I can understand Sourav's foaming in the mouth - but now accusing others of weakness because they don't share his view of the world is too much. What if Rahul indeed realy believed, good could have come out of Chappell and gave his 100% to that plan? That seems more likely than Rahul not believing that and simply going through the motions because he didn't want to confront Chappell.

http://likeatracerbullet.wordpress.c...veri-dada/Good post on the dada comments. Two things 1) it is stupid of Dada to write-off Chappell's critical analysis faculties - after all, it made a difference to Dada himself in 2003. So, Chappell talking to Oz team might be an advantage for oz. 2) feeyar's point about Rahul buying into GSC's vision.****** That apart, apparently Gangs said that "Dinda is the best paceman in India now. He should have been on that plane to Australia". - I mean even Sunny had a few years after retirement before he became senile and bitter. Dinda? Seriously?

Ashwin steps up preparation ahead of Tests
R Ashwin, who was the most effective of India's bowlers on day two of the tour match against the CA Chairman's XI in Canberra, has said that he has worked on his strategy ahead of the Test series.
"You have to spin it; for the few days of a Test, I don't expect the ball to turn," Ashwin told PTI. "It has to be in the air [have flight], and later [in the Test you can] exploit the rough. For the left-handers you attack the stumps and for the right-hander bowl outside the off-stump."
"I have been speaking to a few umpires and they say it spins on day four and five. But I have to look at the match as a whole, keep spinning and flighting the ball, and hoping the batsmen would attack me. Later, probably, if I could sit down with Shane Warne and chat with him [it would help]."
Ashwin picked up four of the seven wickets the Indians claimed on the second day, while reducing the Chairman's XI to 214 for 7. He said that he had expected the batsmen to be more aggressive against him. "I was very surprised that they were not attacking me. I bowled a few bad balls, I wasn't hit for a six. I am always prepared to be hit for a few sixes anyway."
His victims included centurion Ed Cowan, Phillip Hughes, Tom Cooper and Alex Doolan. He particularly enjoyed Doolan's dismissal, he said. "It [the delivery] didn't have much of spin but it just bounced a bit more. The catch belonged to Ajinkya Rahane I haven't seen such a good catch for a long time." Doolan was caught at forward short leg for a duck.

AF, Midday's take on the same interview..
Ousted India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh had popularly garnered the reputation
of someone with 'the ability to get under Aussie skins'. In that regard,
Harbhajan's replacement, R Ashwin has massive boots to fill during the upcoming
four-Test series against the archrivals. Steve Waugh and Adam Gilchrist reckon
India would miss Harbhajan's aggression during the high-voltage summer. But,
Ashwin is no saint. Make no mistake. He feeds off a jeer or two, is craving for
it.

As a result of the BCCI's stance, all decisions in this series will remain in the hands of the on-field umpires, Marais Erasmus and Ian Gould for the first two Tests, and Aleem Dar and Kumar Dharmasena for the final two matches. However, Channel Nine's coverage will still feature technology such as Eagle Eye and Hot Spot for the viewers at home.

2. Aus should not even win one test.
3. Third triple hundred or first 400+ to Shewag
4. 4th (99,03, 07 and now 11) Consecutive Test 100 for Laxman at Sydney.
5. Zaheer bullying left handers.
6. Ashwin/ojha among wickets.
7. Ishanth/Umesh Yadav's terrific spell in Perth.
Last but not least 100th 100 for Tendulkar and winning the traditional 30+ year ODI CB Series
1 and 2 are very important which I would settle for. Rest all are bonus.

Symonds delivers Harbhajan Oration
Former cricket and current reality TV star pays tribute to old bud
Not to be outdone by all the plaudits and acclaim Rahul Dravid received for his stirring Bradman Oration at the Australian War Memorial recently, Andrew Symonds, Page 2 has learnt from reliable sources, delivered a legendary speech of his own, at the first annual Harbhajan Oration held in Chandigarh.
According to reports, Symonds addressed a gala dinner crowd at the local franchise of Bhajji Da Dhaba, the restaurant chain Harbhajan Singh part-owns, and waxed eloquent on a range of topics appropriate to the event. The guests, made up mostly of past and present luminaries of the franchise-restaurant business, listened in rapt attention as Symonds spoke with charming non-self-deprecating humour and offered cavernous insights into the sport he once dominated in a match against Pakistan in the 2003 World Cup and never again.
Other noted personalities at the black-tie event included adult-film star Sunny Leone and a few other contestants from Bigg Boss, the Indian version of theBig Brother TV series, in which Symonds was recently a house guest. Also present was Harbhajan, who could be seen clutching his personal belongings close to his chest at all times, and somewhere in a corner rubbing his cheek and weeping silently, Sreesanth.
Symonds, dressed elegantly in a freshly waxed chest, which intermittently peeped out of an unbuttoned silk shirt, looked more at ease behind the mic than he has ever done with a bat in hand.
The following is an excerpt from the speech:
I'm deeply honoured to be the first Australian to deliver the Harbhajan Oration, or, for that matter, the first person of any nationality to care enough to do something like this.Distinguished guests, not many of you will be aware, but the name Harbhajan Singh has a very strong cultural resonance back in Australia. The impact he has had on the popular imagination there cannot be understated.And on that slightly confusing and tentative note, Symonds ended his speech to rapturous applause. Harbhajan cordially shook hands with the distinguished speaker, whispered something in his ear and found himself punched clear across a few tables.
For example, most Australians still ask themselves if they remember where they were and what they were doing when they first saw the "Make It Large" series of commercials featuring Bhajji. So deeply scarred is our psyche.
Now, a lot of people have wondered how a bowler who could barely spin the ball can have taken 400-plus wickets. The answer, in my opinion, is simple - give the ball to any chump off the street, ask him to play as many games and bowl as many overs as Bhajji has, refuse to drop him for bad performances, and he'll get you 400 wickets. It's the classic case of the Infinite Monkey Theorem, the premise being that a monkey banging away at a typewriter for an infinite amount of time will almost surely, by chance and time alone, end up writing the entire works of Shakespeare.
Yeah, I said it. I said the M word. Ha! Take that, Bhajji! Did you know because of the incident with Harbhajan, the interest in primates in Australia has grown tenfold?
But I digress. I'd like to take the opportunity to talk about some of the problems facing our noble game, which has given me so much beer to drink over the years.
It's been said before but it can never be said enough: the biggest challenge facing the game today is that there are just way too many ODIs and T20 games being played without Andrew Symonds. These slam-bang limited-overs run-fests are making the longer version of the game meaningless, especially in light of my not being picked to play in any of them. What I'm trying to say is, more clubs need to holler at me, cos I ain't done yet.
Um, if not for my sake, then do it for Test cricket… ?

Indian bowlers need the bowler-friendly conditions than Aus bowlers. So this is to our advantage.

I think this tour could be India's 2007 world cup moment in Test Cricket. By pongal, we will be talking of pazhaiyana kazhidhalum pudhiyana pugundhalum in indian test team/squad. Remember Sach, Gang, Rah's ashen faces in the Windies as they slid to defeat against Bangla? We could be witnessing that in the next few weeks in the test arena now(replace Gangs with Lax). Dhoni built a world cup winning team out of that rabble. He will face the challenge of doing the same in tests after this tour...

http://www.espncricinfo.com/australi...ry/546778.htmlMS Dhoni is a headline-writer's nightmare. He refuses to get drawn into any pre-series big talk, post-win boasting, or discussions about pressure. It's two days before the Boxing Day Test, the biggest event on Australia's cricket calendar, and you could sum up the state of mind he wants to project in one quote: "What's important is to live in the moment. You have to try to win more sessions than the opposition."
There have been comments from the opposition, players both current and retired, but he says, "We shall stick to what we need to do." Try asking if there is an extra significance to this series, coming as it does after the England debacle and in all likelihood being India's last away Tests for two years, and he says, "There is no point in taking extra pressure. We look to do well in every game, be it home or away. We look to keep it simple. Do small things well. We didn't do well in England of course but it's not about past or future. It's about the present."
Dhoni informs you that everyone is fit and available for selection, but immediately says there are two days to go and two days is a long time. Lest the headline uses the word "confident". Even the foreign journalists have stopped asking him about DRS, knowing they are not going to get anything new. Somebody asks him if the "favourites" tag means extra pressure, and he retorts, "Even when we were underdogs, you wanted us to be under pressure"
Dhoni is then asked about whether Ishant Sharma's decision to delay the surgery on his ankle was a wise move. "That depends on the individual and what the physio tells him regarding that," he says. Somebody else has spotted Gautam Gambhir and VVS Laxman making a few technical changes, and Dhoni's response to that is: "Very difficult for me to answer, because technically I am not very sound. Something that the coach does. One of these days I'll ask Duncan [Fletcher] to come for a press conference."
However, after about 15 minutes of this cat-and-mouse - and it's not really a criticism because he was not made captain to help sell papers - he does open up a bit, when asked about his own batting. Obviously in Tests, Dhoni the batsman is not the presence Dhoni the batsman is in shorter formats.
He has played important Test hands here and there, has scored quick hundreds when setting up a declaration, averages a respectable 38, but that defining big knock has eluded him. Last year he was on the verge of playing one such, trying to help India save the Centurion Test along with Sachin Tendulkar. During their partnership, batting seemed easy, and swiftly India threatened to erase the deficit. Just before a thunderstorm arrived, though, Dhoni got a corker from Dale Steyn, the kind of ball that, produced at the right time, is the difference between a draw and a win. It was 2010, but Dhoni mentioned the South Africa tour when talking of the year of the "80s".
"I don't think much about it," Dhoni said. "Of course as I said I am not technically very sound. At times for me it is about adapting to the conditions. Batting at No. 7, especially if you see this year, it hasn't been a brilliant year for me individually. I see this year as a year where I have scored a lot of these 80s. At times I have been short of partners, like for example, in South Africa I was batting decently, and [during] a couple of innings, all of a sudden I didn't have batsmen batting with me.
"[In these situations] You look to score as many runs as possible, and at times you get out. At the end of the day it looks like you haven't scored runs. Of course I would like to improve as an individual."
And while walking off, he jokes it was a very long press conference.

^ why not wiz...i feel there is a good chance for ashwin to be indias leading wicket taker....If zak remains fit for the entire series i hav no doubt that he would top the wickets column considering the no. of lefties in the aus side... But if he is missing we could our see fast bowlers struggling and not doing much damage apart from occassional breakthroughs..

Nothing new. Same formula many years - on a good pitch for bowlers, take early wickets, then allow green openers and out of form stalwarts to not juts score runs but dominate utterly. Then capsize. New indiavAm new india. Enga genes dhaneppaa ungalukku - adhu epdi differentA iruppinga?

Usual story pola iurkke. Pitch with decent help for the bowlers, but naama podumbodhu adha belter-a convert panni tharomo?Back of a length again, Yadav gets it to rear up menacingly again and leap away, and this time it thumps high on Ponting's bat as he hops across. The edge loops to Laxman's right in the slips, and he holds well. Ponting's 100 drought continues, and Yadav's showing he belongs in Test cricket.

Ashwin to Cowan, OUT, Ashwin has a wicket. Cowan's supreme vigil comes to an end, and Australia are slipping down a familiar slope now. Cowan's been eager to cut Ashwin all day, and hasn't quite figured his drift and variety. This one again, was much too close to the body to cut, but he went for it, and thick-edged it into Dhoni's gloves. Very good take, that.

DH, if you accept DRS, they'll still give howlers against India - even if Indians appeal, Aussie third umpire will patriotically ignore clear evidence. Whereas even straightforward decisions for India will be referred and reversed by Aussie third umpire. DRS means india will have 6-7 wickets while batting and need to take 15-18 wickets while bowling. It is a lose-lose for India.

19th - pala varushamaa Aussie umpires have been blatantly patriotic. We drew in 86 because of umpiring only but ask any cricket follower who forms opinions reading these bleddy anglo saxon writers - they'll say subcontinental umpiring was bad so only neutrals were introduced apdimbaaimga. Nobody talks about these buggers. I will give you an example: once, in NZ india copped several bad decisions. BS Chandrasekar clean bowled a NZ batsman: the following conversation ensued: ***** Chandra: Howzzzaaaaaaatt!HowzATTtttttt!Howzatttttttt! ***Umpire: you can see he is clean bowled Chandra ***Chandra: He is bowled yes but IS HE OUT?

Personally I see this as just like a human umpire - flawed. I have said many times before - I am for a) populating Elite panel with Umpires who are blatantly biased in favour of India b) when a is accomplished, I want this imperfect Technology to be ratified. This way, other teams will have to take 18 indian wickets per innings and will only get 6-8 wickets while batting. BCCi has the power to make this happen but don't have the focus or stake or financial benefit so they are not doing this.

Yadav to Siddle, FOUR, Australia are taking this away now. Poor stuff from Yadav, on the pads and it runs straight off the legs to fine leg for four more.
87.2
Yadav to Siddle, FOUR, edged and safe. Umesh goes subtly fuller, draws Siddle into a drive and he gets a thick edge that stays low and flies past Kohli, who dives to his left at gully. Didn't have a chance really.
87.1
Yadav to Siddle, no run, whippy length ball seams away from Siddle from wide of off stump. Another easy leave.

I saw it this morning. It was a marginal decision and it went against us. The foot was in the air with the shadow on the crease being too close to distinguish between the foot itself.

We raised hell after Sydney and had the umpires changed, didn't we? Visually challenged Benson and Bucknor were booted out.
I haven't closed my eyes. I had it open and saw Ponting being given lbw to an inside edge. Or was that a carefully orchestrated wrong decision to give a pretense of even-handedness? Make it look like human frailty when it was a calculated, racially motivated attack on India.
To not adopt UDRS because the whole thing is a veLLakkaara sadhi against Indians is an extreme argument.

Anyway, there are enough technical reasons to not adopt UDRS. Why are certain nations hell bent on using it? Why no independent testing of UDRS? Why don't you attempt to prove the infallibility of UDRS through independent Testing/auditing. I have my own doubts that - beyond nationalisau - suitcases are involved in this. Why not suiitcase to BCCI, you may ask. It might be because what these fellers pay might to be peanuts for BCCI officials whereas other country admins/commentators/writers might be tempted by the rates these fellers offer. Greig is padi by SL govt and talks up Sri Lanka at every given opportunity. SAastrigal and Sunnyji BCCI kitta contract pottadhai vechu avangala velukum English media doesn't talk about this. How many of you knew this? Who knows which commentator is being paid how much to talk-up DRS?

Benson asking harichandran Ponting for the Ganguly decision was the cherry on the cake - was just inexplicable. Nobody is protesting against the booting out of these two.
The point is, use technology where available. Even I don't believe it is perfect.

My point is there is a lot of resentment against india because of the financial might - in bucknor's case, it was obvious he had something against India(remember how he gracelessly mocked Dravid on the field?).

From what I read on cricinfo is a very good sign for India. Ishanth bowled really well from what I saw. Young lad has always something going for him in Australia. Unlucky to end with no wickets. Thambi Yadav, not a bad outing, 3 wickets on the first day of a opening test match is a good confidence to carry forward. Hope we bundle out for less than 325-350 and bat the leather out of these guys in days 2 and 3.

So technically the sentence is correct
"allowed the visitors to place pressure" is unnecessary use of active voice. naaLaikku prachanai-nu vandhA escape aaga mudiyAdhu.
ippadi ezhudhi irukkalaam
Put that way, the suggestion that Indian players put pressure on the umpires 'on the field', resides only in the mind of the reader. This way you come across as dissing only the BCCI without dissing the darling players on the field.India's refusal to accept the DRS placed pressure on the umpires, achieving the result desired by the visitors, in the final session
An incriminating sentence should be indisputably factual, it should raise the kind of opinions you want to raise in the reader,without becoming culpable for raising such opinions. Brettig, nee innum vaLaraNum thambi..
Jokes apart, "there is agenda in promoting UDRS-nu sollumbOdhu, there is agenda in opposing it"-nu pEchchu varum. But that, by itself cannot discredit UDRS as a system.
And in this case, these guys have money to make everytime HawEye is used (right?), so that is what is coming across. That is what I understand.

It's not like they went for review AFTER seeing a video on the big-screen shown by the broadcaster.
It is incidental that in this case it went in Aus's favour.
What is wrong is, the 3rd umpire should reverse decisions ONLY when it is demonstrated beyond doubt that the field umpire's decision is wrong.
i.e. it has to be absolutely clear to him that there was an error.
But, by making it compulsory to go with hawk-eye to even dispute a field decision is wrong.
What needs change is an increase in the discretionary power of the third umpire and the provision of all available technical inputs.

^when it comes to reviews the third umpire gets to see only replays provided by the host broadcaster and it comes with a delay of a minute and even runnot dismissals aren't shown live in the big screen and do you believe that the Lyon being the final wicket and the host broadcaster made a honest mistake?
What prompted the third umpire to reverse the decision? I would rather have a neutral umpire making a honest mistake than a tech which plays to tune of the host broadcaster.

As for honesty of feeds, anyone remember Dhoni dismissal in Windies where the delivery pronounced not no ball was a different delivery to the one appealed against? I say BCCI, rig such honest mistakes against England Oz - that will tell them

From: Plum on 26th December 2011 03:29 PM [Full View]
Anyway feeyaar - my position is this.I positively welcome honest mistakes, rigged mistakes, bought umpires etc who perpetrate gross and continuous injustice against Aus/Eng. I want them to be immune to criticism and shamelessly shielded by ICC with laughable justification like "personal space" etc. I am not fighting for justice on behalf of India et al.

P_R the tech used in OZ/NZ is virtual eye/Eagle eye and it uses the broadcasters feed for ball tracking/co-ordinates..the first snaps are from the Live feed which showed as it happened and the on-field call was the right one and the feed which the third umpire saw(third pic) was doctored and it made the on-field call dicey and in the end it went in favour of the batsman...I wouldn't fault the third umpire in this case since he has no means to validate the feed and he has to go by what he saw on the replay but
with the match situation/tech used we have every reason to conclude that the feed was doctored before the third umpire could see the replay.

Yes, that's where BCCI goofs up. Their priorities are different. There was a great opportunity for a PR(pun unintended ) blitz against DRS - a la Ch 9 and Greig's campaing against BCCI's anti-DRS stance - there but bcci obviously cares little for such "varaalarai correctA ezhudhanum" matters. But the point is DRS is hugely vulnerable to such "honest" mistakes - and I wouldn't complain if I had confidence in BCCI that they can out-naadharify England and Oz using this loophole. Problem is they don't have the expertise to do that - therefore the loophole is something "my side" cannot exploit, but my "opposition" can. Hence, I denounce a system with such a loophole

But Wizzy's post implies that the point where the ball pitched itself is changed in replay (Wizzy, correct me if I'm wrong). I'm not sure if it is possible in such a short interval. Also, Padosis made a similar accusation wrt Sachin's referral in WC SF. Originally Posted by Bala (Karthik)

I was watching this live and the first slow-mo replay was clear that the ball pitched well within leg stump and half-a-ball would've hit leg stump (which isn't even necessary for this referral. It only had to grace the leg stump as original decision was out) since it was quite full and didn't have much distance to travel.
And then came this hawk-eye replay which showed more than half of the ball pitching outside leg and the ball completely missing leg. Total saack. kandippa edhaiyo maathittaanunga. Koot graphics programmers.

Dhoni has used his bowlers very well today...rotated them well, gave them timely breaks and brought them at the right moments...But if it there iss one thing that irks me is his over defensive tactics in certain periods of play....especially against haddin...he had just come in and all he was presented was a long on and a deep mid wicket....dhoni could have been a little more attacking considering haddin just came to the crease.....but no complaints for the defensive fields set after the lunch break....indian bowling for a good measure of time in that session apart from the one over to ponting from umesh was piss poor

Hussey out - dada observes that it brushes the arm at the back. Healy et al would have emphatically claimed bat in a similar situation against indian batsman. 3. Chappell praises Umesh.

Ed Cowan, avanE sonnAn
When asked if he hit the ball, Cowan said, "I was disappointed to get out, it was a bit of a lazy shot ... You saw the replays, you saw my reaction, you can join the dots I guess. With the DRS, I'm an interesting perspective because I've been a consumer of the game for so long; this is day one on the job for me.
..
"So as someone who loves his cricket and has watched a lot of cricket, I just don't understand why it can't be handed down by the ICC to be uniform in all games. And that's me speaking as an outsider, not as someone who has been in the bubble for a long time. It is an interesting one, we'll see how it pans out, I'm sure it'll even itself out over the course of the series."

If he nicked it, and he confirms it, it puts Hotspot in a spot. He has chosen not to say that. I find that devious of him. Typical...

Just wanted to quote that so you can suitably tune your suspicion hatred of him. debutante kuzhandhai payyan paththi kooda 'typical' 'ndreenga
I reserve my judgement till I actually see it.
Overall his reaction was quite level headed and reasonable. 'It will even out (i.e. human errors are randomly distributed), just that uniformity would be good etc.'
And he pretty much said he did not nick it. I find nothing devious in his response.

Confronting and referring to specifics is something people shied away from in cricket. Unless things are already ugly. You don't want to start a tour like that.
IMO he said that as clearly as it is possible to say.
And he went out of the way to make sure he didn't come across as whining and that overall the day was good etc. 'Umpiring errors ellAm sagajamappA' was the feel of his statement. His overall statement emphasized on the need for uniformity.
For saying something like 'I'm sure it'll even out' you are interpreting it as 'it had better even out'
I find it curious that you considered his statement devious. I found it reasonable.

If he says "I nicked it", that is logically not questioning umpire's decision but vindicating it. If he didn't, nothing wrong in saying so. Why this convention in the first place? Vettu onnu thundu rendaa pesa koodiyvan dhaane australian? Why are you appending English gendilman characteristic to Aussies? Ellam chappai kattu. If I were the journalist, I would have followed up " dot ellaam engalukku connect panna theriyin? Did zou or didn't you nick it? Yes or no?".

chae.... post panna koodadhu, perumaya pesa koodadhunu evlo controlleda irundhaen...
what a game... the best sachin test innings i hav seen in recent times...
the fluency, the strokes, the improvisation... master class...
except for that ball, when he played a bit lazy, he was very smart in foot movement...
no issues... sattam kadamayai seidhadhu...
the thirst remains...
pr,
when u first posted that cowan's response, i thot he meant that he nicked it when he said about his reaction and connecting dots...
cos, he reacted exactly like he has nicked it and was looking at the umpire with his feet apart in that stance...
i am sure he reacted like he nicked it... he means the same imo...

pattinson and siddle were very good today...
especially patti, 13000 runs, 30000 balls, dravidaye thanni kudikka vechuttaan... can say its more of some loss of concentration and losing confidence by dravid..
but this boy pitched those balls again and again and again...
sachin had to shield dravid for some point of time.... like giving him singles in easy overs so that he plays a confident stroke and get back his groove...
and siddle... he was so energetic and bowling 145+ in that last over of his...
hilfenhaus was good too, just a bit less than the other two...
lyon ellaam filler dhaan...
but sachin, he treated all the bowlers equally, like he was jus playing tennis ball cricket..
imagine, his first 5 boundaries...
consisted one upper cut six, two cover drives, one straight drive and another late cut in the gap between gully and second slip of 140+ ball...
he was playing like dream i say... more entertaining and aggressive than sehwag today... elegantly but.

90.6 to Haddin, a gem from Zaheer and Haddin's gone. Inswing, away seam, inswing, away seam and now a full, tempting half-volley outside off gets the outside edge. Haddin pushes away from the body again as he leans across to drive and the ball kisses the edge low and hurtles towards Sehwag in the gully at shin-ankle height. He takes it without a fuss. Haddin asks Sehwag if it was a clean catch, and gets a reply in the affirmative. The umpire checks if it was a no-ball, and the replays confirm Zaheer didn't overstep

For a batting line up thats so good on paper, this has been a very underwhelming performance.....seeing sachins and dravids partnership I thought that India had shrugged off the first test blues and also corrected the mistakes that took place in England.....Rather we get Gambhir out of form, Laxman out of form and dhoni showing no semblance of batting well in testing conditions.....India have to sort out their batting problems as quickly as possible or else the series may get away from us.....hopefully they perform better in the second innings....

The flying bail
The speed gun told us Ishant Sharma bowled seriously fast today. In his mid-afternoon spell, he kept hitting the late 140s, and even crossed 152kph once. Just how quick was it? When he bowled Michael Clarke, hitting the top of the stumps, the leg bail flew over MS Dhoni's hand. It went so far that if that had that been the ball, the batsmen might have contemplated a second.

The presence
It is not here, but the DRS dominates discussion. In the 18th over of the Australian innings, Zaheer Khan appealed against Ricky Ponting, but was denied. Replays and ball-tracking showed the ball was hitting the middle stump three-fourths of the way up. Not sure India will be complaining, though.

Actually, no team plays quality seam bowling in decent conditions that well. Junir Bradman Cook and Junior Bradman(reserve) Trott also failed along with their friends in Perth and against Pakistan. Unfortunately, Saffers Indians and Australia cannot produce a consistently threatening attack against England. This is England's batting strength - because of the bowling attack, nobody will produce a hobart like pitch against them. Even if they do, their bowling attack will skittle out the oppn. I wish this happens more often, though. On flat pitches, Cook and Trott will score at Bradman's average.

After Adelaide 03, Rahul-Sachin-Laxman haven't won a decent 4th inns chase outside India for us. If they fail again, time to retire atleast 2 of them. With them in team we are failing to get 300 in an innings repeatedly. At the worst, younger members will fold for 200. Since rhe result is India lose/dont win anyway, better to move on.mm?

In a match of such margins, the team that converts 1s into twos - while batting - and takes it catches and doesn't collapse 7/68 will be the winner. That team is clearly Australia.

Aus can afford to drop catches because their bowlers will create more chances. And sehwag will give a chance every 10-20 runs he scores. Big deal dropping him. He doesn't have a century for longer than Sachin. He is not getting it in this match for sure.

But I am very, very glad Gambhir's pretensions have been exposed. 137 against that NZ attack is not a big deal for any good Ranji batsman - just needed temparament. That one innings is the base for false pretension that Gambhir has succeeded in tough conditions - yet, nobody speaks of Dinesh's solid effort against a better England attack in pitches tougher than the NZ one. Just lucky for Gambhir, his subcontinental scores have been buttressed by that ton to enhance his reputation. That reputation will ruthlessly be exposed in this match, and Gambhir shown for the pretender he is.

true.. and the odd 50 that he makes which includes countless outside edges and mistimed shots help him stay. he hardly knows his offstick. he told in an interview that he need not play for a place in the team anymore after those consecutive centuries and he stopped scoring since then..agree that he was instrumental in saving a test match, but we can safely assume we have to start with 1 for in any testing conditions even if that odd 50 about to come in the 2nd innings today.

Cricketing Gods are inconsistent. They punished India in England for prioritising IPL in their scheduling by creating all those injuries, form losses and lack of preparation for Indian batsmen/bowlers. But when Aussies prioritise Big Bash prior to this Series, they are not punished. I guess Cricketing Gods are anglo saxon themselves.

Kals, I think the big 3 need to retire before Dhoni builds a team that can win a series in Austrlaia. He could only succeed in ODI WC because he sidelined Dravid etc ruthlessly. As long as Sachin, Rahul and Lax are in the squad, india will not win a series in Austrlaia or South Africa. They are part of the loser generation.

One improvement from last year for Australia is Clarke's captaincy. Wish England had toured this year. They'd probably still win but not 3-1 and definitely not 3 innings victories. Scheduling luck for England - one amazing sequence of luck that team has had. And possibly if India toured last zear, we had a chance of winning this series...bad luck, Dhoni. The Gods of Test Cricket don't like you - maybe you should retire from Tests just to spite them. If you also retire along with Sachin, Rahul and Laxman, test cricket itself will die. That's the best revenge you can take on Test Cricket for exposing your captaincy limitations

Actually, the criticism on Dhoni for letting the game drift when tailenders are batting is long standing. For all his achievements, this aspect has been his weakness. It was defended when he was winning mostly but I don't think even HC Dhoni fans can defend that aspect any more - as much as the big 3's declining batting ability, this is a factor in India not winning this series.

Basically, this is how DRS will work. If india refer, only if the decisions is very obviously wrong, it will be reversed in favour of India. If there is scope for interpretation, it will go against India. Feeyaar cleverly distracted me the other day by talking about obvious decisions not being overturned in favour of India. Clear clear proof of bias against India. Even ian says he is surprised third umpire didn't have a closer look. Ippovavadhu othukareengalaa feeyaar?

Feeyaar, apdiye theriyaadha maadhiri nadikkaradhu. Paul Reiffell is third umpire. For those with basic common sense, the undue haste from the 3rd umpire after seeing just one replay of the no-ball - where it was clear that it was close to a no-ball - tells a story by itself.

Ok, this is fine. India is a poor cricket team. For a brief period, we got 5-6 good batsmen-bowlers together and made it to #1. Dhoni's fall is as quick as his rise. Ofcourse, next 2 years only Home series so some success will be there but he has failed in two crucial tours - England and Australia. Cricket is an anglo-saxon game afterall. Avanga dhaan topla iruppaanga. We can only be pretenders.

Indian batting is just the big 3. Even that is failing. Tendulkar should have scored the 100 in the first innings itself. It is affecting the team a lot. I didn't want to say this but Dravid eating the momentum away on 2nd day was quite painful to watch.
Drop either Gambhir or Kohli and bring in Rohit. Even if it is a raw deal for either of em. What's happening with Pujara?. Fast track em into the side.
Bowling was better but still it should have shut Aus <250. 292 ellam adikave vitruka koodathu.

No. What I meant is: are we seeing EXACTLY what the 3rd umpire is seeing at that time. Originally Posted by raajarasigan

Some time they show player reaction (human drama!) etc. During that time what is the 3rd umfire seeing?
Sometimes they show one obvious angle again and again, while we feel another angle would be more insightful. Are they showing exactly what the 3rd umpire is seeing?
Since that is precisely the panjAyathu here, it would be good to know this.

Plum, i still think we need to go on with DRS, if we are going to get unfavorable decisions then so be it - its not as if we are better off without the DRS! either ways, we are screwed (going by ur argument), so why not we go with DRS, it atleast gives a chance to expose discrimination if any!

Bala, I was defending spinning pitches and protesting against targetted banning of grounds that favour spin as against those that favour seam.I am ok with flat tracks as a variety spice option as well. But selection should be based on "horses for courses". Who has a more organised game likely to survive against pace and bounce? Rohit. Epdi solAdhunnu theriyala. 20 smooth run adichuttu he might throw his wicket. Then again with some luck, he might throw his wicket after scoring 150. With Kohli kundu, Yuvi mAdhiri oru nambikkayE varalaiyE? Ipponnu illai - indha tour start munnelrundhe AF nAnlAm sollikitturukkom. Rohit - he has to open his zip (sorry for the profane analogy), Kohli - zip thorandhu kidakku...

It is a bit like Fletch selecting Vaugjan and Tresco though they had middling county averages jumping the queue over average and aggregate toppers - Fletch has an eye for talent. Not sure he gets enough say in selecting the xi. Also, as AF said, fairness be damned. It is a bit like this - when it comes to year end appraisals, I use past year performance to decide bonus but characteristics, potential, temparament, ability, match with upcoming projects etc for promotion.

I gave the credit for #1 ranking to the batting greats so the blame for this series loss also goes to them more than Dhoni's captaincy or openers. How many times they have failed in the 4th innings? 1 300+ score in the whole year? Sad to say this - in retrospect, they have overstayed in the team. Sachin worldcupOda retire AyirukkalAm. Dravid and Laxman Windies seriesoda retire Agi irukkalAm. Atleast, we'll have an excuse for losing this Border Gavaskar 2011-12 series

Form is the key. Formla irundhaa class batsmen can score anywhere. The Sehwag of last year would have breakfasted and lunched on Sidle, Hilfy and more importantly, Mitchell J. Mitch is a key loss for Australia. It has removed a wakness to bowl hittable bals frequently and release pressure. Without him, they are struggling to cede advabtage to the opposition, which they freely did against England and achieved a historic series loss. You cannot compare Cook making merry against that attack with Mitch and this one against a mitch-less disciplined attack. Cook and co collapsed whwnever seam bowlers got assistance or decent bowlers bowled on helpful pitches. Hope all of England's matches are played on seamers' paradise. They' ll win because they have good seamers but Bradmanesque avaerage ellam saayam veluthudum

But why would someone not back India against any opposition in Indian conditions. Mind you, the strong English pace attack will not be as effective here. Swann is good but we have never struggled against him. It will be a competitive series but we will prevail. Do you remember 2001 Aus series at home? They had a similar strong bowling attack. They had the world's best spinner.

Sehwag neer kallar
so impressive was the little lad from Delhi that his partner and senior Virender Sehwag was moved enough to term him the best opener of India since Sunil Gavaskar hung his boots in 1987.
“Gambhir is the only opener I have known who is at ease in any form of the game. Gavaskar was a great opener in Tests and one-dayers and Gambhir has adapted wonderfully to the Twenty20 format too. He is just too good,” said Sehwag.
“Just see how he kept adapting. I can't think of anyone better than Gambhir in terms of technique, temperament and style. To me, he is the best opener India has had since Gavaskar,” said Sehwag.

India's chances in Australia over: Gavaskar
Press Trust Of India
Melbourne: The ongoing rubber against Australia was seen as India's best chance of winning a series Down Under, but former captain Sunil Gavaskar on Friday said that the vistiors should forget about such a possibility after the humiliating loss in the first Test here.
India witnessed yet another poor start to an overseas tour after their famed batting line-up flopped to succumb to an embarrasing 122-run loss against Australia in the series opener on Thursday.
Asked whether the defeat has virtually ended India's chances of winning the four-match series, Gavaskar responded in the affirmative. "Yes, I think so (about India not winning the series). I will be happy to be proven wrong but I don't see that happening," he told a news channel.
"In both the innings here we failed to cross the 300-run mark, especially in the second innings here the pitch was good for batting. In England we managed to reach 300 only once despite our bastmen having 30,000-40,000 runs behind them. The alarm bells are ringing very loudly," the legendary batsman added.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni might be facing criticism from all quarters for his defensive captaincy off late, but Gavaskar extended some support to the beleaguered India skipper. "Captains need help because they are under pressure everytime. They need help from the vice-captain and I don't think Dhoni is getting that help," Gavaskar said.
"(I feel) everybody is in their own cocoon (in the Indian team) and that's where Dhoni needs to have more interaction (with the players)."

With Mitchell's mom being what she is, I guess any girlfriend of his needs to be that. Coming back to Indian team, let me make a pitch knowing fully well that I can claim this without the fear of being disproven, simply because this option will never be tried out. I theorise that what we need is, infact, er...let me think how to sell this idea....I mean, what we really need is Badrinath. There, I said it. He has played all of 3 test innings, abd has a classy 56 against Steyn and Morkel. He has his solid long version game. Maybe he can give a year or two of service before the young guns like Kohli get ready?

Gambhir - vaazhkaila time plays a big partngaradhukku example. If he had played in the 08 Aussie tour, he might have gone forever but luckly for him, the easier foreign tours came first and he could establish a reputation - so this tour will only be seen as loss of form rather than inherent lack of capability. Whereas Mukund and all will be judged on their first tour to England. Funny thing is people are vehemently against Mukund after just his first 2 series, both outside India whereas Gambhir and all are not judged correctly. Same with Badri - in just 3 innings, people have judged him as incapable despite a 50 against Steyn while Yuvi/Raina/Kohli all will get a thousand chances.

While the Big 3 batsmen will have to take accountability for this defeat, a note on our bowling: basically, we are happy with less there. A rookie Aussie attack is bowling disciplinedly and keeping a famed lineup at bay - key is their discipline and bolwing to a plan. Our bowling is not good enough to do that against an inferior batting lineup - that is making the difference. Thought experiment: our bowling will steuggle against our batsmen, their batting will struggle against their bowlers. That's the difference between the 2 teams

Dh, problem for our batsmen is relentless probing on fuller length in the off stump line. Umesh, Ishant will all bowl releif balls. Zak also doesn't keep it relentless on one line and length all the time. Ishant will be permanently unlucky - maybe that's to do with his line and length. Otoh, a similar bowling as Patto and co. will break the Aussie batsmen's will. It is easy to ask Dravid and co. to score centuries - their reputation demands it but the difference between the sides is not dramatic - it is in these small margins.
-
From: Plum on 3rd January 2012 06:38 AM [Full View]
And kohli has a good chance today - never suspected his capability against Hussey type bowling. If he does well against the off-stump, disciplined full length line, which I think he should if he applies his mind, Indian Captaincy is not far away - especially given Dhoni's unexpected meltdown and misfortune as captain

anyways We are speaking hypothetically. IMO had Clarke won the toss and chosen to bat against a bowling lineup of Hilfy & co i dont think they wud be sitting at 60/4. in any case their 60/4 is not as threatening as our lineup's 60/4! For some odd reason our batting lineup is at the lowest level of confidence along with the worst possible loss of form. Only Sachin looks assured. With little seen so far Virat looks good. chumma will feed on Hussey bowling nellam solli chinna payyana demoralise pannadheenga
My point is our bowling has been reasonably good (ofc they are not on par with Aussies, i concede that).. however the reason we are playing catch up is our batting
-

Agree with you completely DH.....the best place for our batsmen to get back to form was this ground.....but again they have flattered to deceive....
-
From: Plum on 3rd January 2012 07:04 AM [Full View]
Our batting is the reason in as much as we expect much better from them than Cowan, Warner, Marsh and RTP, MJC and MEH. Granted but still, if the Aussie bowling gives a quarter, they'll cash in. See Kohli today - more balls on his leg, and he is cashing in. Infact, if Dhoni walks in now he can do better. If Kohli gets out near second new ball, Dhoni will struggle. Bad luck for Dhoni there. The bowling right now to kogli is not the same standard we saw in the morning
-
From: wizzy on 3rd January 2012 07:07 AM [Full View]
DH, in this series OZ batting had similar problems..no big scores from openers/aging middle order..struggling wicket keeping batsman...each time they got bailed out by the tail by some inept captaincy so it is a shoot out between the bowling sides and at the moment our batting is proving to be more inept thus handing over the advantage.
-
From: Plum on 3rd January 2012 07:08 AM [Full View]
The ground's got nothing to do with it - you need some relief balls. Kohli is getting those - Viru, Rah and Lax didn't. Gauti didn't even try to stay to see if he gets relief balls. Now, this doesn't excuse Viru, Rah and Lax - they are expected to weather the storm and then beat it back. But those are the facts to consider - I maintain, if we had 50 percent of Patto, we'll win. We don't. Therefore, we won't win here in this match. Same way, if Aussies had a Ishant Sharma, Indian batsmen would have cashed.

Well if Patto, Siddle and Hilfy had Aussies at 27/4, they wouldn't have let RTP-MEH rebuild. Agree/disagree? And Dravid/Lax might still fail against Ishant/Umesh etc but overall, indian batting will do much better against Ishant, Umesh and Zak. That, to me, is the difference. This is a bowler's series - therefore, you win or lose with your bowling primarily.

I was referring to the fact that the Sydney Cricket ground is traditionally akin to conditions of that of the subcontinent especially after the initial couple of hours than any other ground thus giving our batsmen a little bit more freedom......

DH, no excuse for Rahul and Laxman particularly. They should have known about better conditions later in the day. But as Puli observed, this is Laxman - he isn't doing well when the ball is relentlessly being pitched up. During his earlier successes, Aussies bowled to his strengths. If I have to be ruthless, I must admit HE HAS BEEN WORKED OUT. What a shameful, humilating exit for a very good servant of Indian Cricket

RTP/MEH wud have rebuilt is my argument. Bowler's series naalum Batsmen attendance ae podaama proxy potta enna atham. There was some article which nailed it : Aussie batsmen do well knowing they dont have to score big and hv less pressure, after all this batting line up hasnt crossed 300 for what now 11-12 innings? Our bowlers did so well on day 3/4 (forget the last two wkts) just to watch our side fold for under 200! Originally Posted by Plum

Wizzy - if you are an "indian" fan or "bcci team" fan, then the continuity from Kapil and Sunny to next gen will be there. I was an indian fa during Kapil times so it wasn't difficult to move on from him - and indeed scold him for overstaying his welcome for 434 - to SRT. But then, that patriotic indian cricket fan died - and with the development of aesthetic appreciation, one became more of SRT-VVS-RSD fan than an Indian Cricket fan(with lesser Gods in ARK, SCG et al). Thus, the next transition is not possible for me. Vayasaayiduthonno - pudhusA oru irrational hero worshiplAm ippO start paNNa mudiyaadhu. And it is too late in Life to start appreciating the likes of Bell purely for aesthetic purposes. That irrational teenage love(formed for SRT and com) will never happen again...

In essence, to be passionate, you need attachment to either a) the team, club or country or b) individual players. For me, (a) died long back. (b) is dying now. What's left is an objective, dispassionate observation of test cricket - but then what is it worth minus passion and mental investment?

11:30: Just witnessed one of the most bizarre incidents on the cricket field. Clarke pushes past Umesh Yadav at mid-off and runs two. Umesh Yadav sprints after the ball, reaches the ball, collects and throws in one motion without realising where the stumps at the bowler's end is. The throw ends up near mid-wicket and the batsmen then run three! The crowd is stunned and then break into laughter. Not wayward, waaay wayward.

11:08: Almost an unbelievable dismissal! Ishant Sharma slides one way down Ponting's pads. Ponting nudges it, Dhoni to his left dives but drops the one-hander. Ishant is unhappy, but the umpire signals leg-bye. Replays, of course, show the ball came off the bat.

Gavin Hamilton. Allan Lamb is what(saffer? Zimb?). Robin Smith? Idhellaam eppolerundho - for example, basil d'oliveira in the 60s. When Safrica was still refusing to treat blacks and the coloured as citizens, England selected him in their team. Oru vagaila, their progressive thinking is to be applauded. Then I guess a few windies imports in the 80s. Ivlo En, Ranjitsinhji in early 20th century. England has never been an exclusive English team, I guess. All the same, it is a bit odd to see an Irishman playing for England. One wonders if England is blocking a test place for Ireland precisely for this reason - while bcci cops the blame for that

Sachin was unlucky to get out: Pattinson
"Getting Sachin out today is something I will remember for the rest of my life. It's an amazing feeling," Pattinson said.
"Obviously it was quite unlucky today for him, chopping one on. It was quite a wide delivery.
"If you can build enough pressure on him then something like that can happen.
"He plays so well, he's got so much time when you bowl to him ... even if you bowl a good ball the defensive shots look so good and it's hard to get past him."

From: Plum on 4th January 2012 11:20 AM [Full View]
Ironically, this series in a perverse way, shows who was responsible for our #1 ranking and overseas victory - it is the galactico batsmen. Our template has been bat big, keep the opposition on field for long hours, tire them out and then a bowling sniper attack. Which explains how even Agarkar has a 6-fer in victory. We have always been weak bowling-wise, and the difference in the 2000s was that our extra-ordinary batsmen won matches and series even with our poor bowling attack - in what way is Ishant/Yadav inferior to Agarkar? What they lack is the cushion of big totals that these batsmen used to give. So, it doesn't give me much pleasure now to rub this in - but it should be 100 percent clear now that 90 percent of credit for our #1 ranking should go to SRT, RSD and VVS, and then ARK, SCG, ZAK, VS followed by Harb, MSD
-
From: Plum on 4th January 2012 11:41 AM [Full View]
In that way, the few victories of India are much bigger achievements than Rixky's 100 test wins or England's dominance now. Test Cricket is a bowler's game - for a set of batsmen to bend it to their will and win consistently with inferior bowling attacks is against the nature of test cricket. Although they will end this tour in shame, in reflection, we must celebrate the level of their past achievements - for, it is only now, in the absence of their genius, that we can realise the magnitude of their past achievements. Those weren't just any other overseas wins - those were phenomenal attacks on the fundamentals of test cricket. Test Cricket was, against its will, stripped and forced into new clothes. We'll never see that in near future - England's dominance is bowling-based, and conventional test cricket victories. Aussies also are developing into a similar mould. Same with Saffas. It was ever so with Pakistan. So, join me in saluting 3 extra-ordinary batsmen - whose achievements will never get the amount of praise and understanding they deserve - for, enough appreciation is given to these victories but I don't think any of us looked at this angle ever before - and maybe, this tour was designed by God thus to wake us up atleast in retrospect.

Yes, the unsung opener deserves huge credit, too. Problem is we want superstars in every position. We want even the puny ones to "make it large". That is a marketing phenomenon. Commerce will eventually kill indian Cricket - and feeyar, that is how we'll lose the dominance in boardroom and allow England to get a veto for themselves.

Ashwin defends submissive field placement
Sydney, Wed, Jan 04 2012
After Australia stretched their lead to a mammoth 291 to bat India almost out of the game in the second Test on Wednesday, off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin agreed that his side will now have to play a catch-up game.
"It's going to be a catch-up game from now on. We will have to dig deep and bat long. One or two person will have to stand up and try to turn things around from now on," said a visibly frustrated Ashwin.
"But if you need to turn it around, you need players to stand up and make themselves counted. It has to come from within. You can't really sit together. It's all fine when you sit together and give all those speeches. Those speeches are very good to watch on TV. It has to come from within. You have to deliver out there," he added.
Most Indian bowlers, including Ashwin, bowled with defensive field on the 2nd day but the off-spinner defended the move.
"What else do you do with 191 in the pocket? You'll have to save every run possible. Supposing you get two or three wickets later on, and someone is having a good spell, we have those runs to play with later. That has got to be the only idea. It's common sense. Nothing else," he explained.
The young Tamil Nadu spinner defended his own bowling even although he conceded over 100 runs.
"As a spinner what is there on offer from that wicket? Nothing! It's not like I expect anything of a wicket in Australia on the second day. Not that I expect anything even back in India. It's the second day, you are not going to get much. We got bowled out inside the first day.
"It's always going to be catch up. Not just for the bowlers. As I said, you can't fault the efforts of the bowlers. They ran in hard. Ishant was clocking 140 in the final spell. That's all you can expect from the bowlers as of now," insisted Ashwin.
"I haven't landed anything short, I haven't delivered anything full. I haven't really bowled many bad balls. I have been bowling really well but the wicket column has to really reflect. I'm not someone who is going to read into that. There will be a spell where I can turn it around," said Ashwin.
"Australia were up by 100 runs when I came in to bowl. I just need time to settle in. I need to know which side the breeze is moving. It's drifting both ways in Australia.
"Basically as a spinner I am expected to tie one end up for the fast bowlers to work with. I'm sorry but you have got to be a fool if you try to spin the ball from outside off and hit the top of leg every time you come into the attack. You have to have common sense and save up some runs for the fast bowlers," he added.
Ashwin, however, said that he would remain positive.
"The Australians haven't given me anything to work with yet...haven't gone into the fifth day so far. This is one Test match where I could have bowled fourth at the SCG and that's about it. I am someone who is going to stay positive.
"If we can bat really well in the third innings and put something on the board on the final day, we will be good enough to work around and fight with that. Let's see."
Ashwin said that the wicket had flattened today and there was nothing on offer for the bowlers.
"Very frankly the wicket has flattened out today, and there was nothing on offer. People were going really hard today and bending their backs. Every team can score at 3 and 4 runs an over. It's not just them. India has managed to smash 450 runs against many other good attacks," he insisted.
Stating that the media's behaviour does not help the team when it is already struggling, Ashwin said, "We lost 4-0 on an overseas tour before this. People are saying that 'it's going to be either a 4-0 or a 2-0'. I don't know how it works with you guys (media) but for us to just hear this repetitively is the biggest detriment."
Meanwhile, Ashwin applauded the efforts of captain Michael Clarke and Ricky Ponting.
"They batted pretty well last evening itself. That little phase towards the end of play when we bowled 10 overs for I don't know the exact number of runs. They batted really positively, which meant that today's first 15 minutes were crucial. They batted positively and took the game away from us." he admitted.
Clarke (251 not out) hit an unbeaten double century, while Ponting (134) hit his first hundred in two years to toy with the Indian bowling attack as Australia piled up 482 for four in reply to India's paltry first innings 191 all out.

Oh so we used to just bat once in overseas matches and the poor bowling attack got us 20 wickets fom the tired opposition, wah wah! seriously i dont get why we keep blaming the bowlers always and keep saying we are a poor bowling attack when our batsmen havent seized the opportunity. Sydney is an ideal example, if someone had stayed in we cud have got a huge total, atleast ensure we wont lose the match. And who knows once we drag it into 4th or 5th day, with a good spinner and aussies batting last we cud have got a chance, heck even Clarke got 6 odd wickets in Sydney last time!

And no, i am not saying this with the Sydney and Melbourne frustration... EVEN England scores 350 odd scores in Australia!!

Why didn't Clarke go for 400 or 501? It is not as if they can't bowl out India in a day. Aus should have batted until lunch on Day 5 That's what I do in EA Sports Cricket - bat until lunch on Day 5. Then 2 sessions to bowl out opposition twice. Anyway, india should aim to lose today. Vaikunta Ekadesi - indian cricketukku motcham kedaikkum

the truth is Indian cricket(current) does not deserve the much hype it enjoyed in recent years.
we may have some gud talents but most of the times it us under utilized........

Indians play cricket like they are in war whereas other teams play and enjoy
even Indian fans, it will take many years before they realize it

ha.. Clarke didnt go for the 400.. thats surprising.. though he doesnt aim for his personal records and it is a good sign, as per the match situation i think it is stupid.. He could have gone for it and played for more tim today.. the pitch is flat.. I would have denied batting for Indians in this pitch at present and would have demoralised them by piling up runs and tiring them on field... would have waited for the pitch to detoriate more and 2 days is more than enough..
anyway.. the result is obvious..

DH, ninga solradhu dhaan naanum solren. If our batting clicks and occupies time and tires out oppn, then our bowling will succeed. We don't have self-quality bowling. Never had. Since the big 3 and Viru are sodhappifying this time, we are seeing abject surrender by bowlers. But perversely, this just shows how we won in the past also - through the batting might. Our extraordinary batsmen are the reason for india's overseas record in the 2000s. Now that they have declined, our record is also diminishing.

As I said, in a way, this failure by the trinity is a good tribute to their contribution to Indian Cricket - it is very, very obvious now who won matches for India in the 2000s golden run. I am happy this fact has come out clearly now - and this with Agarkar and the likes as bowlers. Ponting had McG, Warne, Gilles, Flem etc. Cook and co. have Anderson, Swann, Tremlett etc. Richards had Holding, Marshall. In the history of Cricket, Agarkar and co. vechu jeyicha perumai Sachin and Dravid in particular, then VVS, Gangs etc with supporting contribution from Harby and Kumble. Even Bradman cannot match our batsmen for this feat. They all Had good bowlers to contribute to their test win record. Our greatest bowler is Zak whose strike rate and average pale before the other greats of World Cricket bowling. I really think our great batsmen deserve a huge tribute despite this failure. Celebrate them even if they score 6 blobs each from here on in this series.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/australi...ry/548163.htmlSaving the Test, according to Dravid, was not on the Indian players' minds at the moment. "I don't think we can think about saving this game right now," he said. "We need to go out there and show some fight. And bat as long as we can. Who knows what can happen? We have got quality batsmen who can bat long periods. It's hard to think about two days from now right away. I am sure the guys will go out and fight and do the best they can. And we will take from there."

Matter over. InimE Kohli thalamaila namma mudhal muRaiyA australiala series jeyikkaRa kodumaiya vERa sagichukkaNum. VaralaaRu paRi pOnadhu - but let's change the parameters of excellence in World Cricket. Is winning everything? How many are with me in placing Sachin's 80 over Clarke's 300? Raise your hands. Now, THAT is Cricket. Not some stupid notion of victory and loss. See? If Sachin had been batting on 329 against this Aussie attack the way he was playing, would you hope for him to continue in that vein until he gets out or would you want to declare and watch the opposition with inferior batting skills implode? Which is a better test cricket spectacle? Think, people, think. Victory is overrated - ofcourse Clarke declaring is justified because his batting is not nearly the spectacle that Sachin's is. But I say, if Sachin had been in that position, I would resent declaration just for some stupid test victory. Sport is played for entertainment and aesthetic value, too. We should not let stupid notions of success fool us. With me?

Rohit awaiting stern Perth Test: Arthur
Sydney: After four years in waiting, Rohit Sharma could finally get a Test debut when India take on Australia in Perth but Aussie coach Mickey Arthur said it would be nothing short of baptism by fire for the youngster whose footwork is suspect on bouncy tracks.
India is down 0-2 in the four-match series after humiliating losses in Melbourne and Sydney and the axe could fall on out-of-form Virat Kohli for the third Test in Perth starting January 13.
AFP
Arthur doubts Sharma would succeed on the fiery pitch of WACA, Perth and wonders if his backfoot play could stand up to the test.
"He has challenges on wickets which have bounce. WACA will have it and it's a test by furnace. He probably just would have to make sure he gets his backfoot game in order.
http://static.cricketnext.in.com/pix...it_630_afp.jpg
"I have seen a lot of him on television and how he copes if he gets the nod will be very interesting," he said.
Former Australian captain Ian Chappell echoed the opinion but felt the batsman should have been in the Indian team much earlier.
"Sharma should have been in the team a long time ago," said Chappell, who is an admirer of the middle-order batsman and predicts 10,000 Test runs from his blade. Dei buildup kodukadhe da
"Now it's hard for a batsman who hasn't had a hit for a couple of weeks. You bring him to Perth in conditions which are very difficult for experienced batsmen, never mind the inexperienced ones," he added.
Chappell even goes on to suggest that Sharma should get match practice by playing in some club match or grade cricket in Perth in order to have a grip on the conditions. Playing in the WACA square alongside the main pitch would also not be a bad idea, according to Chappell.
Chappell also said it was a mistake on the part of Indian team management to prefer Kohli over Sharma in the first two Tests.
"I think Rohit Sharma should have been preferred. I have seen him taking on the Australians, playing the horizontal shots," he said.
Sharma has looked good in two practice matches the team has played at the start of the tour. In Canberra, he had scores of 56 not out, 47 and 38 not out.
WACA or no WACA, he is determined to be ready whenever he gets the nod for the playing eleven.
"I don't want to be seen as someone who wasn't prepared when he got the chance. Trevor (Penny) and Duncan (Fletcher) and a few other senior players are helping me out. I know Test matches are completely different and I want to be completely ready when the moment comes," he said.
Sharma admits there is room for improvement in his game and that there are areas he's been working upon. "There is always scope for improvement. There are some areas we are working upon," he said.
Middle order bat Virat Kohli has one chance in a million to make it to the third Test in Perth after a mere 43 runs in first two Tests at 10.75.
Sharma's backfoot play could have points in defence as well as in argument. He made an eye-catching 50 on a difficult wicket at Kingsmead Durban during the 2007 Twenty20 World Cup.
But he also had his finger broken by a lifting delivery from Stuart Broad in a one-dayer at Chester-le-Street last summer. Lack of consistency has also been held against the middle-order batsman, most notably during the 2011 World Cup when he wasn't picked to do duty for the national side.
It hurt him "very, very deeply" and he worked extremely hard on his cricket and outlook in general and was rewarded with berth in the team to the Caribbean in May last year.
The new Sharma now looks a complete package. His range of strokes has been breathtaking as has been his consistency. His last two full series of 10 matches have yielded him six half centuries and averages of 128.50 and 76.25.
One of the areas which were visible to outsiders was the work Sachin Tendulkar carried out on Sharma in indoor nets at the MCG last week. Tendulkar pointed out to Sharma that the back swing of his bat comes from second slip and he doesn't appear to have the "rocking cradle" stance - where wrists are closer to his stomach while waiting for the ball. - Never knew this

Kookaburra's early sting has to be neutralised
Sydney: The Kookaburra is a "killer" in the first 20-25 overs and the inability of openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir to see off that period together is the No.1 reason why India's down 0-2 in the Test series.
That's the perfectly sensible assessment by a player in the touring party. Sehwag and Gambhir put on 22 and 17 at the MCG; 0 and 18 at the SCG. Both Tests finished within four days, with Australia becoming big winners.
The No.2 reason, according to the player, is that Virat Kohli (at No.6) has been struggling and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni just can't handle the second new ball overseas.
Like it or not, we still haven't found a replacement for Sourav Ganguly, who quit international cricket in November 2008.
"If the second new ball is taken as soon as it's due (after 80 overs) and a settled pair is at the wicket, then they've got to ensure that nobody gets exposed in the next 20-25 overs," the player told The Telegraph.
Speaking on Saturday, the player added: "Basically, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman have to do the job of seven batsmen. That's the expectation. Dravid was good in England last summer and Sachin is in fine touch in Australia, but there's no guarantee that all three will click together. If they do, that would be like winning a lottery."
The player confirmed that the Kookaburra settles down after 20-25 overs and batting definitely becomes easier.
"Look at the SCG Test... Even we had Australia under pressure (37 for three) in their only innings... That was within nine overs, when the ball was doing something... After that, they just pulled away and we couldn't contain them," the player reminded.
"We can't win on flat tracks such as the SCG, for we don't have the bowlers to take 20 wickets in conditions which aren't helpful... The MCG was a different ball game and, with help, our bowlers did bowl Australia out twice... On flat tracks overseas, realistically, we should look to draw and wait for the best opportunity elsewhere."
"I'm quite hopeful of us doing well in Perth... The Waca Ground is bound to offer help to the bowlers and I'm keeping fingers crossed... Of course, the batsmen, starting with the openers, will have to support the bowlers," the player said.
The player felt that Kohli should be given another opportunity. "What happens if replacement Rohit Sharma fails (in Perth)? Do we then go back to Kohli in Adelaide, in the very next Test? Kohli is talented, he needs to rise to the challenge."
Clearly, things would be a lot different if we had an all-rounder (Ravichandran Ashwin looks to be one in the making) at No.7, followed by four specialist bowlers. In that scenario, Dhoni has to bat at No.6.
But that won't happen in this series.
The player explained that the problem was actually more in the mind. "A few extra sessions at nets won't make somebody a better player... It's about being clear in the head and having the want to step up... I don't think there's a technical issue involved."
It's interesting that the player picked Michael Hussey as the one Australia batsman to watch out for.
"We know Michael Clarke got a triple hundred at the SCG and Ricky Ponting has scored at least 60 in each of his three innings, but Hussey has been looking the best... He's the dangerman."
What's the morale like?
"We are extremely disappointed, but not shattered," the player replied.
It's a fallacy, of course, that India does well at the SCG. We had only one win and four losses in the nine previous Tests. After the latest, the equation has got worse.
Saturday, meanwhile, was a day off — not well-earned, mind you — for Dhoni and Co. and Sunday is the day for travelling, to Perth.
The third Test begins on Friday.

Team India indulges in go-karting
The mounting criticism of their poor show in the Test series against Australia notwithstanding, the Indian cricket team on Monday chose to enjoy some go-karting instead of having a net session ahead of the do-or-die third match starting here on Friday.
For the third day running, the beleaguered team chose to keep itself away from cricket. While the cricket fans back home are up in arms and former players are baffled by their take-it-easy approach, the team is insistent that taking mind off the game is the best way to get ready for the decisive game.

we can try one thing in WACA, ask dravid to open the innings and play sehwag at no 5 or 6. we can paly him like gilchrist.. even if we are less than 200/5 and say if dhoni/ashwin can stay and rotate strike one end, sehwag can prove to be murderous...

ithellaam nadakka chance illa.......sehwag is best as an opener at the moment.....a guy who can really deflate the confidence of a bowler...dravid very good as he is has been found wanting and his impregnable defense has been broken as many as 4 times.....sending him to open will defintely not do a whole lot of good for him as a batsman....

Green WACA pitch leaves Indian tourists reeling
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/cr...-1226241144198
"When Indian batsman Rahul Dravid was on his way to the wicket yesterday one of his team-mates gave him a playful hug and suggested he go no further.
When he reached the wicket Dravid quipped to the groundstaff "so you didn't get the email?''
When they replied "what email?'' he said "the one which said take the grass off the wicket."

In 2003, they rushed his comeback from injury in the 3rd test. Even while bowling i think he didn't bowl the 2nd inns in that match. In 2003 he pulled back Aus in Brisbane from 250/2 or 3 to < 350 all out, with a 5-fer. It was very instrumental in that rain curtailed match.
he did the same above in 2007 1st match. but we lost coz of our batting failures.

Short by 50-60 runs but the prediction is almost right.
It's 12:40 now. What will be the match situ same time tomorrow?. What will be the scenarios?
Ind batting - 213/8 or 9 or < 240 all out.
Aus batting - Starts shakily but again the trio (hussey, clarke and ponting) resurrect them and say a score of 260+ something for 5.

Dhoni hints Test retirement by 2013 for to prolong shorter format career. Sensible move. Axe yourself before the mgmt axes you as his own batting/captaincy form has nosedived for the worse. Bitter pill to swallow for the champion captain for the test series losses away. Dude was never a serious test material in the first place. Saw his dismissal today. Regulation slip catching practice.

.Dhoni..?..OMG by far the worst batsman i have ever seen in tests...what kind of a batsman he is?.nayan mongia far better...worsht captaincy right throughout..please quit test cricket and save it from extinction..or my signature coming ur way
do we need to support these guys in the future?...after Tendulkar leaves i think India will quit cricket

http://blogs.espncricinfo.com/sadist...ont_forget.phpWarner treated Vinay like someone who’d dated his sister twice, before dumping her when she refused to put out. Warner often walks around the crease like a thug from a 1950s throwback film, but when Vinay was bowling it was more like a Frank Miller anti-hero.

These callow pen wielders who couldn't put a barn wall to a Wasim Akram delivery are analyzing his technique, questioning his commitment, and suggesting demanding his exit from the team, the tour, and Indian cricket. This to a man who, since Jan 2010, averages 94 in 9 matches India have won, and over 50 runs/innings in 24 matches played in the same time period. And he scored a match-winning 176* two months ago. A man who has played so many memorable innings deserves to decide when he becomes just a memory.I hate drawing comparisons, but the press may be better served looking at the stats of India's most celebrated opener, who has kept young blood like Rahane and Mukund out of the team. Sehwag's last meaningful contribution outside the subcontinent was a 151 against this opposition at Adelaide in....January 2008. 4 years ago. Including that knock, he averages just 31 outside the Indian subcontinent.
And what about El Capitan? The Man Who Won The World Cup With a Six. India's favorite success story. He averages 30.2 against A-list oppositions away from home. And he is an atrocious captain in the longer format, recognized for his failings by folks who know a couple of things about leading a side - like Ian Chappell and Wasim Akram.
Both these undroppables get a free pass into the Test team because of their performance in the shorter formats; one with the bat (quite magnificent, with 7 centuries and an average touching 49), and the other with his captaincy and his average-bulking not-outs. VVS doesn't play the shorter format, and is remembered only for his Test appearances. He doesn't fuel hysteria like a meaningless ODI 200 against pedestrian bowling on flat tracks does, poor sod. For a man with precious few sound-bites, it's his distance from the public eye that is becoming his noose.

Dhoni, who made 12 and two batting at No.7, said he blamed himself for the heavy defeat in Perth.
"I am the leader, major culprit. Yes I blame myself," Dhoni said before news of his suspension broke.
It's believed vice-captain Virender Sehwag will lead the side in Adelaide.

SA defeating Aus in Aus is indha maasam only. SA haven't visited Aus after that. Plus, England defeated a team that was depleted after the SA series through various circumstances. So, English Victory in Aus is lesser than the Saffers one. India had a 1-1 result, give or take a Bucknor before that. And that was a better result than Saffers' series win if you look at the legacy of the dominant Aussies of 00s. I repeat - we would have won the Aus series if we had toured last year. England would have only won 2-1 if they toured this year. I call this scheduling luck. But then between 06 and 07, Langer and Warne and Mcgrath retired so the 5-0 of Aus vs England in 06 vs 2-1 Aus vs India 2007 aren't exactly comparable. In relative terms, India got the scheduling luck then. Our historical bad luck is that we get scheduling luck only when it makes a difference between draw and loss, not when it is between win and draw

We lost because a) we don't have the bowling to bowl Aus in Aus for less than 200. Heck, even NZ could do that b) our batsman who in the last 10 years had been compensating for weakness (a), failed. As simple as that. India were never a rival to the great Windies or Australians. There was nary a whiff of that happening ever. When you see it that way, you can rationalise this. For us to win a series in Australia, we need a stroke of luck - which great teams don't need much of - in 2007 Bucknor was our stroke of bad luck. In 2003, Parthiv and Bucknor again. If you take England, they aren't great but they are very good. They just need a little luck to win in Pak or India. What I am saying or conceding is that England today is a better side than India were ever in the last 10 years(which is india's historically best period). That much I am conceding.

'அவுஸ்திரேலிய அணி தனது உள்நாட்டு சூழ்நிலைகளில் சிறப்பாக விளையாடுகிறது. அவர்கள் இங்குவரும்போது அது வித்தியாசமாக இருக்கும்' என அவர் இன்று திங்கட்கிழமை கூறினார்.
'இந்தியாவுக்கு அடுத்ததாக நியூஸிலாந்து அணி வருகிறது. அதன்பின் இங்கிலாந்து, அவுஸ்திரேலிய அணிகள் வரவுள்ளன. இம்மூன்று அணிகளையும் எமது சொந்த மண்ணில் நாம் தோற்கடிப்போம். அவர்களால் இங்கு எம்மை வெல்ல முடியாது. இதனால் நாம் மிக மகிழ்ச்சியடைவோம்' என என். ஸ்ரீநிவாசன் கூறினார்.
ஆனால், இங்கிலாந்தில் இந்திய அணியை இங்கிலாந்து வென்றபோதிலும் இந்திய மண்ணில் இங்கிலாந்து 5-0 விகிதத்தில் தோல்வியுற்றமை இதற்கு சிறந்த உதாரணமாகும் எனவும் அவர் கூறினார்.
இந்திய அணியுடனான முதலாவது டெஸ்ட்டில் 122 ஓட்டங்களால் வென்ற அவுஸ்திரேலிய அணி 2 ஆவது டெஸ்ட்டில் ஓர் இன்னிங்ஸ் 68 ஓட்டங்களாலும் 3 ஆவது டெஸ்ட்டில் ஓர் இன்னிங்ஸ், 37 ஓட்டங்களாலும் வென்றமை குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.
இந்திய அணி கடந்த ஏப்ரல் மாதம் உலகக்கிண்ணத்தை வென்றபின் வெளிநாட்டு மண்ணில் தொடர்ச்சியாக 7 டெஸ்ட் போட்டிகளில் தோல்வியைத் தழுவியுள்ளமை குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.
இந்திய – நியூஸிலாந்து அணிகளுக்கிடையிலான டெஸ்ட் சுற்றுப்போட்டி எதிர்வரும் செப்டெம்பர் மாதமே நடைபெறவுள்ளது. இந்திய அணியின் அடுத்த வெளிநாட்டு டெஸ்ட் தொடர் 2013 இறுதியில் தென்னாபிரிக்காவில் நடைபெறவுள்ளது.
என். ஸ்ரீநிவாசன் ஐ.பி.எல்லின் சென்னை சுப்பர் கிங்ஸ் அணியின் உரிமையாளர் ஆவார். அவ்வணிக்கும் எம்.எஸ்.டோனியே தலைவர் என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.
இந்திய அணியின் தோல்விகள் குறித்து முன்னாள் தலைவர்களான கபில்தேவ், ஸ்ரீகாந்த் ஆகியோர் விசனம் தெரிவித்திருந்தனர்.

BCCI: Billionaires Control Cricket in India
P. SAINATH
None emerged from the IPL which has in fact had a bad impact on the skills of youngsters who might have made fine Test cricketers.
The ‘bring-us-their-heads' humiliation in store for the Fab Four only hijacks the debate from what IPL is doing to Indian cricket.
Scoring 30s and 40s (even 20s) at a quick clip is pretty okay in the Indian Premier League. That's what our guys in Australia are still doing. Consider that in the IPL you might earn two million dollars throwing your bat around for 30s and an occasional flaky 50. Or for bowling four overs a few times in a 90-day season. It's hard to strive for your best when there is so much incentive to do your worst. The same body, the BCCI, presides over both private (IPL) and national cricket. It enables huge moneys to be made by one. And strangles the golden goose that is the other. The problem is not that our ‘boys' have been playing too much cricket. It's that they haven't been playing cricket. They've been playing IPL T20, where focus, concentration, technique and staying power count for little. And it's showing.
Too much IPL
Is this a bad bunch of players out there? Wounded pride leads to that easy conclusion. In truth, Indian cricket — crazy as this might seem just now — has ridden for long on its finest batting line-up ever. We may never again see players of the greatness, quality and achievement of a Tendulkar, Dravid, Laxman or Sehwag. You might still see late brilliance in the test that remains. But I wouldn't bet on it. There's been too much playing to advertising-driven, media-orchestrated euphoria with the IPL. You belt sixes over shortened boundaries, swank in and out in perhaps 30 balls — get lionised for it, and swagger all the way to the bank. Some players have done IPL seasons but skipped going to the West Indies just before difficult tours. Others when ‘tired' took their ‘break' from playing for the country. They played in the IPL, though, injuries and all. England and Australia were disasters waiting to happen. It's because you have great players that these have taken some time to unfold.
However talented, it's also about who you're playing for. Are you playing for your country, for those countless millions of fans who follow the fortunes of the national team, who make cricket the game it is in India? Or are you playing for Vijay Mallya, Mukesh Ambani et al. This is a far more important question than a media self-servingly in love with the IPL will allow. We served up India's brightest and best to private team owners. Indian cricket paid the price. Most of those who slaughtered us in England and Australia did not play in the IPL. Some took a conscious, and wise, decision to avoid it. Acclimatisation is not just about the weather and pitches. It's also about switching back mentally to the real game. And being clear on the source of your motivation.
'Club over country'
We have every right to be shocked by the Indian team's showing. We have none at all to be surprised. Every step, every road led here. Remember the ‘club over country' debate when players skipped national-side tours but played the IPL? That debate missed the fact that there are no ‘clubs.' Not in plural anyway. The IPL related ‘clubs' do not exist as mass-based physical entities in the way their models elsewhere do. It's not about allegiance to ‘club over country.' Dressing it that way lends the tragedy a veneer of moral dilemma: do we play for those hordes supposedly backing our clubs, or for the countless millions of fans backing the national side?
The only ‘club' here is the Club of state-subsidised billionaires. (See: The Hindu, April 17, 2010 http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/article399250.ece). The allegiance of the cricketing establishment, and thereby the players (and most of the media) is to this club. The BCCI today stands for Billionaires Control Cricket in India. Your top cricketing icons are reduced to assets in the balance sheets of corporates. The “bring-us-their-heads” humiliation that is in store for the team will actually hijack the debate from why things went wrong. The rants will be all about the players and their appalling performance. Maybe even a few yowls at the selectors. But little about how IPL has savaged Indian cricket and harmed the game around the world. The Laxman now being torn apart for performance has a stunning average in Australia and is surely one of the greatest batsmen ever. So are a couple of the others. It's not as if they haven't played and done well in Australia before. Is it just age?
Just weeks ago, the pundits said this was our best chance ever to beat Australia in Australia. Our best team possible. Did the best team ever age in weeks? What happened?
IPL happened. And happened long before the disaster tours. A team full of players carrying injuries playing 90 days of sub-standard club-level cricket happened. That prepares you only for more sub-standard stuff, year after year, not cricket at the highest levels. They continue playing there with injuries because the BCCI-IPL has brought big bucks to the privately-owned side of the sport, not to the domestic game.
It is the domestic game that has been the feeder for Indian cricket. All our greats came through the Ranji grind. Some through the under-19. None emerged from the IPL which has in fact had a bad impact on the skills of youngsters who might have made fine test cricketers. Today, the feeder line is to the IPL. The Australians have a robust domestic circuit and a healthy gene pool. We are killing ours with neglect. Think of it: the BCCI could have boosted the domestic game. It has the money to do so, but not the motivation. The cash coming out of IPL goes to private pockets. That's more difficult to achieve with domestic cricket. The hyper-commercialisation of the game means it is today a mess of money, agents, lobbyists, corporates, endorsements, advertisers. Cricket is a by-product. (There are also times when selectors find it hard to drop some players because of their ‘brand value' in this system).
Far-reaching impact
The impact goes beyond India. IPL affected the game everywhere in quality, schedules and priorities. A Malinga, perhaps the greatest Sri Lankan quick ever, quits test cricket to focus on it. For some nations, this worked out better over time. Several Australian and English IPL players are retirees. And in Australia's case, even the still-playing veterans skip the IPL to focus on national duty. In India, our very best are in there, deep. Now, out there in test cricket, it shows.
As one of India's more loved ex-cricketers is said to have told his friends off-record: the IPL-T20 is far from demanding and easy to play. Fielding? The ball might come your way five times in a match. And you have to bowl four overs max. And it's all over in four hours. The ODIs are far more demanding and, of course, five-day tests are the supreme challenge.
A few former greats — no enemies of Indian cricket — have worried about IPL's impact. They include Ian Botham and Arjuna Ranatunga. In India, some of the greatest of our greats, have not just refrained from criticism but vociferously defended IPL on countless television programmes. The co-opting power of the BCCI-IPL money machine is wondrous. Now and then, a little conflict-of-interest blip appears. Like commentators being paid crores by the BCCI — who are then unlikely to criticise its golden child. It is equally unlikely that media fed with crores of ad revenue will speak up either. Any other institution seeing half the scams and conflict of interest that the BCCI-IPL has, would long ago have drawn sharp media scrutiny. But whatever emerges does so when the IT or ED departments get active, not the media. There are also too many journalists co-opted into the IPL network, unable to look at it critically.
And there is no way serving players will criticise it (or anything the BCCI does if they value their careers). Not while it's positioned as the Kamadhenu of Cricket. That status was and is a choice the BCCI has consciously made. It controls the game in the country. With its money power, it lords over it at the global level too, in a manner that earns us the mistrust of other nations. It isn't just that BCCI chooses to privilege one format of the game over another. There could be, as some argue, a place for all three. BCCI chose to privilege the private over the public. We pay the price.
Here's the problem: when the shouting is done and the players heads have rolled, things won't get better. The system and gene pool of Indian cricket have been, are being radically altered for the worse. We need to think about how to revive the domestic game, rescue cricket from the billionaires club and restore it to the public domain.

It is worrying also that India will not play any Test cricket now until later this year and will not tour for almost two years. That says that Test cricket, and getting better at touring, is not high on the priority list. This is not what we want to hear from India at this time - Greg Chappell

Sehwag not ruling out move down the order
http://www.espncricinfo.com/australi...ry/550575.html
Sehwag said such a move would not happen in the Adelaide Test, in which he is captaining India. "No, not in this team because, you know, we have a very good middle order so when they retire then I'll think about it," Sehwag said.When the fact that there will be vacancies over the next year or so was pointed out to him, Sehwag said: "It depends on the combination, and who's the captain, and who's going to retire."Sehwag hint kodukuraapla...There has been a lot of criticism of MS Dhoni's captaincy - defensive or pragmatic, depending on how you see it - over the past two away series, and against that backdrop Sehwag was asked if he saw himself as a full-time Test captain. Sehwag played the rare leave outside off. "Right now, no," he said. "Right now I'm just concentrating on this Test match. It's not in my hands; it's just the selectors' job and BCCI's job."

To be fair, Gangu is using the opportunity. Can he tell the same thing if India leads 3-0 in which Sachin and Dravid average are around 30 or few years back when Fab 3 was exactly Fab 3? Originally Posted by VinodKumar's

He is only slightly better than the likes of Kohli, raina or Yuvi. He was actually masked by the fantastic form of the big 3 - Sachin, Dravid and Laxman when he was playing.

Lets agree that Sachin is not good in this series, I mean to his capability. He had plenty of opportunities to score runs, score 100 etc... He is completely out of plan. Sometimes he was very aggressive then he became to defensive. I wonder what Fletcher instructing him. Originally Posted by Arvind Srinivasan

^ agreed....its the pressure of a completely meaningless statistical record that's hurting him and the team....gets into a shell once he nears the 3 figure mark and if the close of play is bear.....on another day without the 100th ton pressure he would have got 2 centuries......has a last chance for redemption in the second innings and i hope he makes it count with a good performance...

This was the guy who made 6 fifty plus scores including a century in his first 6 test matches as opener and that too in AWAY matches, 4 ofthem in SA & ENG and played a major part in Indian series victory in 2007 English tour."

+1 Lets break the protocol, I say! By the current form let Saha, Ashwin, Kohli bat ahead of Fab 3.nick: "Not much of a captain's innings from Sehwag. Seriously - that was disgraceful. He needed to get to his guys (all of them) including the tail-enders and said simply that everyone needs to bat for 1 hour each. Breaks it down a little easier. Instead he flails around like a impudent school boy and sets the wrong tone for his team. i would have sent Saha out there to open with the guts and determination he showed yesterday. He should be slated big-time for his batting and decision-making this test. embarassing."

Tendulkar's biggest dream always was to win the WC. With that being achieved the only 2 un ticked boxes were wins in SA and in Aus. Personally a series win would have been great but he played pretty hard to make an gritty 146 and square the series in the 3rd test at SA last year. We should have won in both tours at 2003 and 07. That the 2003 tour was a draw and tendulkar could draw peace from that fact. Everybody has some short comings in their career. Steve Waugh - Final Frontier: Shane Warne - India: Bradman - 99.94. We (I) have to thank the stars that he was part of a team that at-least drew 2 test series(es) in Aus and in SA.

From: directhit on 27th January 2012 10:21 AM [Full View]
Virat Kohli - the future?
Two fifties in the third Test against West Indies at home - the second one in a tricky fourth innings chase - reaffirmed that he could succeed at Test level too. However, it also reaffirmed the fact that this success came on familiar home pitches and that abroad he had failed. The Australian tour was the chance to correct that. Two Tests came and went, and it seemed as if Kohli had frittered away another shot. But wisely, the team management stuck with him. And in the three innings since then, Kohli has been the top-scorer in the team each time. It was his most recent innings though, that certified him as one of the best candidates to lead the next generation of Indian batting.A Test century is a special landmark for all cricketers and once achieved always leads to a slight but crucial addition of self-belief. The "I belong here" feeling is strengthened, even if it's achieved under less-than-challenging conditions. And Kohli's splendid effort came in conditions that were as challenging as any. A superb bowling attack to face, a team that was as low on confidence as could be after successive shellackings and a score that read 87/4 when he walked in - after Australia had piled up 604 - all made for a trial by fire.A straight bat met most deliveries, and an attacking one met the ones that were there to be hit. But there was hardly any false shot. And even though he lost Laxman, and found himself left with Saha and the bowlers, he did not give up.http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news...li-the-future-Two decades ago, an Indian team had toured Australia and endured slightly similar results to that which the current one is going through. India lost the series 4-0, but the final Test of that series has stayed in the memory of many. India lost that one too, but in the first innings a supremely talented young batsman hit 114 out of a team total of 272 - an innings that has since passed into legend. It wasn't Sachin Tendulkar's first Test century (it was his third), but the parallels are hard to miss. Virat Kohli has scored 116 out of the same total of 272 in the first innings of the final Test of what is still expected to be another 4-0 loss.

World Cup win in 2011 is consolation prize. I'd gladly take a Aussie tour win in 2003 over that - if I could play destiny, that's what I'll distribute. Besides, 2011 wc was only for Sachin. I'd have loved some shared glory for Vvs, Rahul, Sach, Kumble and even Gangubhai patel.

India 'disappointed' not 'embarrassed' - Ashwin
http://www.espncricinfo.com/australi...ry/551242.html
பத்திரிக்கையாளர் சந்திப்பில் அஷ்வின் பல நேரங்களில் பேசுவது அகராதித் தனமாக தோன்றுகிறது. இதில் embarrassed, disappointed பதங்களுக்கான பொழிப்புரை வேறு. தாங்க முடியல. மொதல்ல நீ பந்து வீச்சுல திறமைய காட்டு. இனிமேல டெஸ்ட் மேட்சுக்கு கண்டிப்பாக ஒரு லெக் ஸ்பின்னரை கூட்டிட்டு போங்கய்யா! சும்மா ஒருத்தவன் கற்றுக்கொள்வதற்காக நான்கு டெஸ்ட்கள் தொடர்கொண்ட வெளிநாட்டுக்கு அழைத்துச்சென்று விரயம் செய்யக் கூடாது. இவனுக்கு பதில் ராகுல் சர்மாவினை அழைத்து சென்று அவனையாவது கற்றுக்கொள்ள விட்டிருக்கலாம். முரளி கார்த்திக்கிடமே ஆஸ்திரேலியா சரியா விளையாட மாட்டானுங்க. சொல்ல மறந்துட்டேன். நீ அணியில் இல்லாமல் போனாலும் கிரிக்கட் வருணனை செய்யலாம். அடுத்த சாஸ்திரி நீதான்.
It doesn't help either that Ashwin has been defensive in press conferences. Ask him why India go on the defensive as soon as they have been doing, and he questions your cricketing intelligence. Ask him about his inconsistent lines and lengths, and he says: "As a matter of fact, I bowled pretty well in Melbourne. There have been phases when I've bowled well. I wouldn't say that I didn't have much luck, but we always stumbled upon a roadblock where we get three wickets and don't get the fourth quickly enough to attack as a whole, and have gone into a break and not seized the initiative. There have been situations when it's happened like that.

Ashwin should stop browsing the web. He is basically more literate and intelligent(in life) than most Cricket fans. Hence he gets into this "they don't understand me" mode. His contempt for the average cricket fan and their jump-the-Gun conclusions is healthy but he shouldn't discuss it in public. Better still, stop reading cricinfo comments, Ash. Anyway, you'll not fit in the balle-balle bhangra dress room. Focus on your cricket. Put on a dumb, sincere facade. Even Cricketing Gods look for that moronic single-minded commitment to the Game and no shreds of general intelligence is acceptable.

Basically, this is the situation. India have been crap in Cricket for decades. A bunch of great batsmen come along and create 10 years of bending the game to their will, and creating a period of against-the-run-of-play reign at top. Then, they have an ordinary year. And your average joe believes they are blocking india's ascension through young batsmen. Reality check: india will revert back to crap once these guys go. So, what's the point? Why don't we just let them play as long as they can? Atleast some of us fans will be satisfied. There is no redemption for India - wake up to it. The only fun left for indian cricket fans is for these greats to play as long as they can and give some pleasure outside victories/losses. Wake up suckers. We aren't going to be world beaters ever. That was an illusion created by these very players you want to retire. Bleddy indian idiot average cricket fan - I spit on you.

How did I miss this..Saddle rubbing it in on ATG
Adelaide Oval is not quite Mumbai or Mohali, but its pitch is the closest thing India will get to a home surface in Australia. Slower and lower in pace and bounce, and offering significantly less sideways movement than any other surface this summer, it presents a singular challenge for a fast bowler.
Aware of Gambhir's words and the nature of the surface, Siddle responded in the best manner imaginable by carving a five-wicket hole in India's first innings. Among those was Gambhir, who was surprised by the bounce Siddle could generate from the surface and fended a catch to gully. Siddle wasted little time reminding Gambhir of his jibe afterwards.
"I guess Gambhir thought I'd had the luck of the green wickets, but I guess there wasn't much bounce in this wicket today and it seemed to get him out, so it was a nice little reward on a wicket that's pretty hard to bowl on," Siddle said. "It's probably one of my better ones I think, all summer my goal has been patience and consistency and I think I've been doing that and going pretty well. But today it was a bit of a relief to get that haul and a reward for a summer that had been pretty good. It is a good little reward for that."

Regular complaints and the very same "star culture" was there when we won the world cup. I think it is the vitamin that Indian cricket needs to move forward just like how it did when it started in the 80s and reached new heights in the 90s. Core problem is the attitude and the fighting spirit of our team except few like Kohli. In a way agree with him on the "formula captaincy". But it is applicable to only this series and as Monga wrote in CricInfo we didn't bother to even change the batting order even once. Find Ian's comments to be valid most of the time except few statements like Rohit Sharma can make 10K runs before he retires.

Who won them the matches last year? Chappell is trying to ride the public sentiment of these-guys-should-go. Makes little sense to me.
There's no denying that the big three disappointed us. But let us be very clear, we lost both England and Aus because our bowling sucks. The media is focusing on the wrong Sharma.

That is precisely the point. We always won inspite of our bowling - our batting did extra-ordinary magic to make that happen. These last two series, batsmen performed like mere mortals. They are allowed that after a decade of ecxellence. Even if they retire, we aren't going to build a winning culture - because it is their extraordinary talent that made us champions briefly. We'll revert to being typical india when they retire. Hence, we better atleast extend their career as much as posdsible. This is the max satisfaction possible for india fans now. Who.

Again during our reign at the top the bowling always fed on our batting might..I don't remember our bowlers defending a target of <200 to win a test...it always been our bats who set a target which would either prompt the opposition to shut the door and play for a draw/we squeeze out a win on the back of a special bowling performance from a particular bowler.

really surprised to see dravid under the hammer...leading run getter in 2011..one bad series..its all over?...atleast laxman we can understand..he hasnt performed for some time now...
respect for Dravid in India is very pathetic...is he not the second best batsman ever to have appeared for India?...should he not go out on his own terms?...are we having a Don Bradman waiting in the wings to take over one down position?...chance kudutha apdiye kizhikira madhiri...

This is not to say that we selected the wrong bowlers. SattilaiyE ivLO dhaan irukku. Unless BCCi focusses on some magic program to produce bowlers, India aren't going to win much abroad. And the batting is never going to get any better than this. We don't have a set of young batsmen, who if given enoung time and groomed, will do better than the big 3 did in the current tour. So, the point is whatever wins we have is due to the big 3. New batsmen aren't going to make any difference so why not atleast let some of us fans rejoice by extending the big 3's career? Even if they average 20, I'd watch that. Otoh, even if Kohli averages 100, I am not interested in wtaching him.

அடுத்த டெஸ்ட் போட்டிக்கு ஆள் எடுக்கும்போது, இந்த கிழபோல்டுகள் வழிமறிக்கிறார்கள் என்று வலிந்து வாது செய்வார்கள். நான் தலையில் அடித்துக்கொள்வேன்.

You are orthodox, saved test matches, won few @ overseas, your batting is elegant everything all right.. so how long you'll keep them? You play only test matches and if you are out of form you are supposed to play First class matches. Laxman failed at England why he didn play in Ranji? I agree that he scored 170 against WI, is that sufficient enough to play at Australia? That's because wrist specialist Laxman can't be dropped from the Indian squad to OZ, he knew that. What sort of example you are setting to the youngsters in the team? Apparently you know what happened to Gangu. You can't stay in the team or as the matter of fact, any other career if you dont improve yourself. Without giving chances how can you say that youngsters can't perform or fail? Kohli proved that he can bat and shown lot of character though he started this tour poorly.

From: P_R on 30th January 2012 07:30 AM [Full View]
Err...in the last two years he has averaged above his career average. What does "averaging well above career average" mean? - it means he is scoring better than he ever did!
I suppose two years is too much of reckoning: if the SA is way to much in the past, if the single-handed victory against Sri Lanka with a lovely second innings, matchwinning century - are too much in the past, then let's take the last one year.
That's still got Bridgetown and Eden. Now let us say you call it 'a couple of stray matches' against an ordinary attack.
Well in WI didn't the youngergaL get a chance to play. Who led the tally - Dravid and Laxman and then Raina.
We did try Kohli. We did try Raina in England - where he threw his bat around when it was thalaikku mElE veLLam - can't fully fault him for that, his situation was always like that.
Yes Laxman has had a couple of ordinary series. I don't see any need to call for his head.
Drop, rotate do whatever. I am glad they persisted with Kohli after WI. But why talk about dropping Laxman as if he is a 'spent force'.
You'll have Gambhir, Sehwag making ODI knocks and all will be forgotten - that is what annoys me.

From: Plum on 30th January 2012 07:36 AM [Full View]
If the margin for failure for Laxman is one tour, then what is the margib of failure for unproven ones? One test? One innings? One over? He didn't look good in that 55th over. Drop him? Dravid has had one poor tour after being your best in 2011. Lax rescued your bcci team several times over in last two years. A team that kept Harbhajan for 5 years after his sell-by date can definitely not complain about Laxman. A team with a captain who has done hardly anything of note outside india in test matches - just zip your mouth I say! Test Cricket in india was zilch before the big-d. Will be zilch after them. We are not Australia or England with centuries of winning tradition to worry about restoring. This was our freaky golden period. It will not come again. Let the architects of the golden period stay as long as they want to. That is all. You are bloody freaking indian cricket - you are, unfortunately, not bigger than the players. Just understand your place and stay there. Your only worth was the decade of excellence forged by unusually great players. This is all you will get in your history 1000 years down the line. Savour the last whiff of aroma from the great cooks -for, what follows will be a thousand years of famine. Do not advance the date of famine by throwing the great chefs away...keep them as long as you can and whatever you get now is a bonus, remember.indian cricket fan, you ingrate!

Harvey Dent quote "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain" sums up Indian cricket fans. This rhetoric has created an illusion that the entire top order had fired in unison over the last 2 years sans Dravid/Wall and they seems to be pulling the down while on the contrary it is our openers who are letting the team down.
Overseas record over the last 2 years..includes all the major test nations.
Sachin- 51.04
Dravid - 37.36
VVS - 35.16
Sehwag- 31.78
ATG - 26.35
Dravid/VVS have played all the 17 overseas matches whilst Sach has played 14.. ATG/Sehwag have played 10/12 matches respectively.

I agree Sehwag / Gambhir sucks, its the responsibility for the seniors to lead..Obviously they have much experience playing in overseas than the openers. Punter, Pup, Mr.Cricket did in this series.. 17 matches - 37, 35 ellam avunga caliber-ku onnumE illa. Sehwag / Gambhir has more years left than Fab 3 to prove themselves. FAB 3 are almost 40, not much time left. 4-0 kooda Ok, 8-0 ellam remba too much! kEtta chinna pasangaloda compare pannitu, avaingala team-a vittu thookunu satham pOdureenga.

I am leaving out Dravid and Laxman here but I am not sure what's in Tendulkar's Mind if he wants to play ODI's. BCCI should focus on developing the team for the next wc in 2015. I am not sure on how long they would want to entertain Tendulkar's requests. Looking forward realistically I can't see Tendulkar playing in the next WC. Tests, he can play as long as he is performing well.

BTW tendulkar was in top notch form in the first 2 tests. 73, 32 and 41, 80 off the finest runs in great scoring mood. Guess even he was disillusioned after a point and started to perform under par.

If i want to drop some guys it would be Shewag/Gambhir and Dhoni from Tests. Off these three only Gambhir is marginally better. Dhoni/Shewag have been found wanting in more than one occasion.

19thmay, performance should only be the criteria..you could only benchmark them with their peers...Appo Sehwag/ATG enna youth-a? Sehwag had already hinted at moving down the order/retiring after 100 tests..less said about the ATG the better. Do you honestly believe ATG/Sehwag would survive another rigor of overseas tests? I would be wary of building a team around these two guys.
I would say VVS deserves a long rope owing to his efforts in SA/WI/SL..without him we would have lost each of this overseas series. From all indications looks like Dravid will call it after the NZ home series.
AF, I had posted earlier on Sach quitting Odies to prolong his test career. Only reasoning I could see Sach playing this series could be to get the 100th monkey off his back.

it is a futile exercise to compare quickfire knocks of Sehwag/ATG with VVS..VVS 50s from the position he plays in has far more impact on match/series results. If you do wish to continue on comparing knocks I'm game to prove VVS is/was a far better test batsman than ATG/Sehwag could ever dream to be

To think that if the batsmen had played better we'd've won (i.e. had Rohit played instead Vangiparuppu) is a line of argument that misses the point that, with this bowling, we would never have won. We would have had to have astronomical batting to even be in reckoning.

we never know illaya? With peanuts to bowl to, what else do you expect?! If our batting lineup had scored 300-350 atleast in one test back to back and our bowling lineup failed neenga solradhula artham irukku. We hv had bowlers contribute quite heavily to our wins in the past (its not all the Fab 3 as Plum wants us to blv Originally Posted by P_R

Firstly golden rule in cricket is to play a leggie before an offie and a leggie with control is godsent Originally Posted by venkkiram
Ashwin doesn't spin it much nor does he have any tricks up his sleeve like Ajmal..look around the successful spinners in tests currently..with flat pitches either you have to spin it like Swann/Herath or be a Ajmal...if you can't be either of two then only option is to be a defensive bowler who could bowl long spells with great discipline like Rehman does it for Pak...by being quicker in the air he is always at you. Ashwin falls under the Rehman category but with little discipline/slow through the air.
Ojha is your classical spinner ..he should have played the tests...our failings with the bat meant Ashwin 30s were gold dust so we had to play him.
Rahul Sharma can be developed into Rehman kind of bowler and with his height/awkward bounce he will be difficult to get away. Jadeja has sealed his spot for odis with his showing today and on current form/being a leggie Rahul Sharma should/will play odis.

Dhoni: "I always smile whether we are winning or losing, it is good to be on the winning side. Ashwin had to bowl out of his comfort zone in the Powerplays and the slog overs. He did well and batted well. We have confidence in Jadeja to bat at No 7 and bowl well. You have to be ready for these circumstances [Virat's cramping], you have to hydrate yourself well, you do not get a runner nowadays. People commit mistakes, it happens."

From: hamid on 8th February 2012 05:06 PM [Full View]
From Cricbuzz :
actuala enna pesi iruppangannu niingale ooru yuukam panni mudivukku vaanga..
Dhoni: It is always nice to speak after a win. Praveen had an off-day and Ashwin had to do the hard work. I am happy with the way he bowled. We wanted to improve in some areas and I am happy that we did so. We need to put in a better performance going further. The cramps will be an issue in many venues here, we need to adjust to the hot conditions. The batsmen need to make runs while the bowlers need to take wickets. We need to do things that are in our control and that will help us in future.
Ashwin : We were keen to get points on the table. There was some spin and bounce from the wicket and I enjoyed bowling on this surface. I want to contribute to the team's cause and I am happy to do so today. We needed to have a cool head and I told Jadeja just that. He batted very sensibly and that rubbed off in our partnership.
Ashwin is the MoM for his all-round efforts. He took 3/32 and then chipped in with an unbeaten 30.

AS, at best he is a safe keeper in odis but he is still shoddy in tests especially overseas where the seamers get to bowl a lot ..he stands way back against them and the slips who take the the cue tend to take the catches at half volleys... I wonder he is far more comfortable against the spinners.

Dhoni's cryptic reply
from this we can deduce that Dhoni believes"The last time he played, I wasn't part of the side, I was rested," Dhoni said when asked if he saw Irfan as an allrounder. "I don't' think he got much opportunity to bat. He has come back and we would like to give him a few games. Ideally he is someone who suits the job very well. He can bat and bowl well also. Ideally he is the one, but he needs to do the batting part and bowling part also."
- Irfan can only play when he is not part of the side.
- he ain't any good with bat/ball eventhough he got limited opportunity.
basically Irfan int. career is as good as over only reason I could see Irfan agreed to tour OZ may be this

failing which they will pull up from IPL..expectedly Seenu mama would have none of it...catching BCCI off guard was Sahara decision to pull out entirely including the team sponsorship. Gangs least expect the sponsorship pull out..this decision was long time coming with Sahara agreeing to churn out $700,000 /int. match(includes t-20) BCCI plays and their financial state thadigana thomed with the recent SC order asking them to pay up..now with this back story connect the dots..Gangs is now part of a ship which is sinking fast and now wants Sahara to reconsider their IPL decision to salvage his IPL career

The edgy visiting left-hand opener
Gautam Gambhir has found company. He has been pushing outside off and edging all summer. Viewers didn't miss him in the non-India game as Upul Tharanga took up the mantle, and after two or three attempts at pushing away from the body - not slashes, just limp pushes that would get him nothing even if the ball hit the middle of the bat - he finally edged Starc with an angled bat, and Michael Clarke at first slip did the rest.

Gambhir questions Dhoni tactics
http://www.cricket365.co.za/news/sto...-Dhoni-tactics
50 adichallam adichaen..romba pesuraen...
"We should have finished this game in the 48th over," Gambhir said.
"We shouldn't have taken the game to the 50th over, that's my personal observation. I know it's always easier to talk when you are in the dressing room, and it's always tough in the middle, but my personal observation is we shouldn't have let this game go into the last over.
"Obviously when you put yourself in that situation, someone has to pick his hand up and say, 'I want to finish this game.' It shouldn't have gone into the last over."ATG took almost an over to score a run in 2nd T-20 run chase"I know it's easier said than done," Gambhir said.
"It's always different. The pressure on players in the middle is far more. It's they who have to take that decision. It's their game plan. I don't know what was going through MS's mind, but maybe he wanted to delay it, maybe he wanted someone else to take that responsibility.
"Cometh the hour, I think the most important shot of the match was made by him. Six balls, 13 runs, with the kind of shot he played, he has done a fantastic job, he has always been a finisher, but that's his game plan. He wants to delay it.
"Someone like me, if I was there, I wouldn't have taken it to the last over, because I always feel that any runs in the last over is far more pressure than finishing one or two overs before. Even if you need five or six runs in the last over, the pressure is far more on the batting side. We are different human beings, we think differently, we have different gameplans."

ATG has also taken a swipe at Sach in the cricinfo article..exciting times aheadSo you hit a 90 and now you've started chirping. Guess what? You didn't stay till the 48th over. What you could have done.. what you would have done are all up in the air. Don't take away the victory that was taken to the finish line by Dhoni. You're sucking up to your partner Sehwag who's been eyeing the captaincy. You and Sehwag fall in the category of the Vengarkars, Gavaskars, who defied their captains and divided teams.

India were vulnerable when playing them in neutral venues. "Our strength has always been playing India away from India," Sangakkara said. "India are always strong in India, with the smaller grounds and conditions they are used to. But away from home we have always done very well against them."
Sri Lanka have beaten India in 13 neutral ODIs, and have lost 21. However, since 2000, they have a better record of 10-10.

i didn say that based on gambhirs statement..
even in the first two test matches, yadav was very impressive and was troublin the batsmen...
and when i watched yest, he hits the speet, bowls mostly wicket to wicket, and uses the one bouncer per over to his advantage... imagine a 150 bouncer coming at ur jaws... that would threaten any set batsman...
and not a very long runup too... all good signs.

Vikranth was bowling the final over. He removed the bails of the KB non-strike batsman as he was standing outside the crease. He did this with out any warning. Similar to Kapil - P.Kirsten incident, but with out warning. Originally Posted by ajaybaskar

Between these celebrities have real talent. Naan yennamo-nu nenachen. Bowlers are swinging the ball, genuine spins, orthodox shots..lovely to watch. IMO Vikranth, that Venila Kabadi Kuzhu hero are very good. More than CR, Karnataka and Telegu had good skills.

19th - karnatka celebrity team has lot of under-19(means when they were under-19) karnataka players. It seems what Sudeep(karnataka captain) did was to round up good young cricketing talent(a la pandiarajan and senthil in "oraayiram rendaayiram"...) and then he made a low budget movie with them so that they'll qualify for the CCL. Similar story in Andhra team.

I have criticized dhoni many times but this low life act by Gambhir is disgusting. Even in the world cup the team showed signs of 90s Azhar's team that consistently failed to win. I am not sure about the problem. but Gambhiroda statement ellam rasikkura maathiri illai.. I don't think Sehwag is interested in captaincy. He is quite interested in playing at No.4 (sachin's position). I think he is waiting for that.

48.4 Mathews to Irfan Pathan, no ball, SIX, hi friends, I am Irfan Pathan! What a blow that! And it is a no ball for height as well. High full toss on the body, Irfan swings and smashes it over deep mid wicket, what a blow! 14 from 9 now
48.4 Mathews to Irfan Pathan, out Irfan Pathan Run Out!! Gone now! He had to go, he only has himself to blame. Swings and gets a bat-pad that rolls to the on side, Dhoni charges in and Irfan just stays in the crease, in the end he has to run and sacrifice his wicket. Irfan Pathan run out (Mathews) 8(5) [6s-1]
Mathews to Irfan Pathan, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!

--------
29.1
Malinga to Dhoni, 1 run, 85.5 mph, opens the face of the bat and runs it down to third man
29.2
Malinga to Gambhir, FOUR, 84.4 mph, nicely controlled! Short delivery rising on the shoulder and Gambhir moved across and controlled the pull well down to fine leg on one leg
29.3
Malinga to Gambhir, 1 run, 85.9 mph, straight on the pads and he clips it away down to square leg
29.4
Malinga to Dhoni, 2 runs, 87.5 mph, low full toss on the pads and he clips it down towards deep square leg
29.5
Malinga to Dhoni, 1 run, 80.5 mph, short and wide and he slashes it down to square third man, the fielder does really well to sprint across and fire in the throw, limits it to just a single
Just a 5-ball over?

Jadugar the latest mercenary to the million dollar club needs to be replaced by Irfan/Rahul for the Brisbane match..I fail to see his value addition..seems to be a nervous wreck whenever he comes onto bat... is it the fielding deterring the selectors from dropping him..Manoj Tiwary who scored a 100 in his last Odi also deserves a go looking at the form of our middle order

then after that mankad runout they were infact arguing that the match was over and one of them pulled the stumps also thinkin they hav won...
they argued with the umpire that the ball was actually counted

SS, Is CCL being played under new ICC rules anyways I don't think the celebs involved had any clue about the rule...do you think Vikranth would have tried Mankading had he known that he ought to rebowl that delivery again..Chennai Rhinos thought they won the match at that point which prompted Sudeep to go nuts thinking his team was robbed of a victory unfairly. Still for Sudeep to mourn after Rhinos won it fairly and wanting a rematch reeks tennis ball cricket syndrome

Point. But, I think the non-striker who was given out had scored 50+ runs and would have been tired. It's better to have tired legs rather than fresh legs at that situation. Vikrant could have warned him, so that the already tired non-striker would have stayed within crease. What was funny for me was captain Vishal claiming the match was over after that wicket...

Frustrated Gambhir slams ‘show-pony’ Dhoni for repeatedly stealing the limelight (Annaiku unmaiyila ippadi nadanthirukka vaaipu irukku)
Hours after Team India’s ODI victory over Australia in the ongoing CB series, opener Gautam Gambhir slammed skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni for “being a show pony” and “unnecessarily glamorizing easy victories”. Dhoni took India home with two balls to spare after a tense last over that saw India scoring 13 runs including a mammoth six by skipper Dhoni.
According to team-mates, Gambhir was reasonably content with his man-of-the-match performance, despite missing out on a century – until he flipped open his smartphone to check out how cricinfo had described his match winning knock. The moment the southpaw read the headline ‘Ice-cool Dhoni downs Australia’, he flew into a rage and flung his bat across the dressing room onto a sleeping Duncan Fletcher noisily snoring in the corner.
“Bhains ki aankh!” screamed Gauti. “What the hell is this yaar! I did all the hard work. I negotiated the toughest period of play, tackled seaming deliveries when the ball was new and make a fighting 90 in the toughest of conditions. Along comes this guy, needlessly makes an easy win difficult and hits a fluke six in the last over. And everyone is singing his praises?? This is not on!”
Skipper Dhoni played down his team-mate’s allegation that he was unnecessarily showing off. ”Well of course, that’s not true. If you noticed, neither did I twirl my bat nor did I upper-cut myself after hitting the six. And I did not finish off the match with a 6 either,” said the swashbuckler who now holds the record for the highest ODI average in successful chases.
BCCI President, N Srinivsan, agreed with Dhoni, saying: “All I will say is full marks to the CSK boys…er.. I mean the Indian team for winning the match in style.”
Ravi Shastri also came out in support of the skipper, albeit for different reasons. “Thanks to Dhoni’s innings, I got to say ‘this could go down to the wire’ 7 times during the match. This took my overall tally to 10,000 mentions of that phrase,” observed the popular commentator. The BCCI will be organizing an event to felicitate the former all rounder for passing this significant milestone in his commentary career.

The two new ball rule will bring the much needed respect to ODI openers..don't see many queuing up to open overseas especially the cross batted ones. Subcontinental sides will be at a disadvantage as Pak showed with their over-reliance on spin and the likes of Jadeja will find it hard to get away with their darts. I would say middle order bats who had it easy by milking the spinners will find it tad harder to start against relatively new ball with the seamers on.
OZ even struggled against SL in Odies at home before the Ashes and are missing Twatto big time. Any takers for Punter getting a 100 at Brisbane just in time..he will be forever indebted to us for saving his odi/test career

Gambhir hasn't been talking to me as he thinks I stole his thunder: DhoniPublished Yesterday

Another thrilling contest, in which all three results were possible, went down to the wire. Of course, all three results are still possible if the organisers can get Laisth Malinga to bowl that last ball of his incomplete over.
However, there are many unanswered questions: Was Gautam Gambhir needlessly run out? And did Dhoni yet again steal the limelight from the Delhi opener? Did the Indian captain delay things a little too much this time? What was going through Dhoni’s mind as Malinga was starting his run-up to deliver the last ball of the innings?
The Unreal Times commissioned Ravi Shastri to interview the Indian skipper and get his perspective on one of the most fascinating ODI encounters in recent times.
Excerpts from Shastri’s interview with Dhoni:
Ravi Shastri (RS): Well, MS, another thrilling encounter that went down to the wire. Your thoughts on the game?
Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MSD): Well, of course, it is important to make sure that every match is…er…Shastribhai, what exactly does ‘going down to the wire’ mean? Dravid bhai explained what ‘going down’ means but…what the hell does…
RS (interrupting): But MS, was it necessary to take it to the final delivery? I mean, around the 40th over, you needed less than a run a ball?
MSD: Yaar, as it is, these Sri Lankans play such boring cricket, what with their scrappy fielding and their motley bunch of annoying spinners. As the captain of the most popular cricket team, I consider it my duty to save cricket by ensuring that matches with boring teams turn out to be interesting. Besides, considering how much we suck in Test cricket, doesn’t it makes sense to make that format the most interesting in which we are the champions?
RS: Hmm, okay. But how is Gauti (Gambhir) taking it? Considering you ran him out when he was well on the way to closing the game, then yet again played the shot of the match, and even won the Man of the Match this time around?
MSD (quietly): Gauti hasn’t been talking to me since last evening, since he thinks I stole his thunder. But then it was important to run him out. He was threatening to finish it off by the 48th over. As far as the “Man of the Match” award is concerned, I’ll put in a word to Srinivasan saar to include it in the team’s rotation policy.
RS: MS, at any stage of the chase, did you sense the match slipping out of your hands?
MSD: Hmm…yeah, I had a few anxious moments when four runs were required off the last two balls with Vinay Kumar on strike. I was very apprehensive that he would take the aerial route and finish it there itself, but fortunately he kept his cool and decided otherwise, which gave me just enough time to call him for a non-existent single and run him out (grins).
RS: Disappointed with Ashwin for not contributing more with the bat?
MSD: Yes, of course. He could have played a few more dot balls to set it up nicely for me. Six required off the last ball is a lot cooler than four of it (smiles).
RS: Well, MS, you have definitely proved that you are indeed “Captain Cool”. Do the boys also address you by that monicker?
MSD: Some of them, yeah, but Sachin paaji says I will be “Captain Cool” only after I learn to speak like you. I agree…F***k man, despite all my heroics, you still trended above me on Twitter after the match. So I am planning to do a crash course called ‘Discover the Shastri in you’ from IIPM after the end of this series.
(Shastri blinks and blinks hard before regaining his poise)
RS: Have a good one, MS.
MSD: Thanks, Ravi
RS (facing the camera): Ladies and gentleman who will read this transcript, we have had a cracker of an interview. Over 10 questions have been asked! Over 10 answers have been answered! And in the end…(At this point, an UnReal team member snatches the microphone from Shastri, and attempts to shove him away from the camera’s view. Shastri grapples frantically with him and with great effort pops his head back into the camera’s view to scream “) …CRICKET IS THE REAL WINNER!”

My advice to Irfan - don't worry about asking run rate. Keep going at a run a ball until you reach 30 and then manage a couple of sixes and remain not out - let Dhoni lose his wicket trying to accelearate - if you have 42*(38) balls theb Dhoni can't drop you in the next match - fight fire with fire

For starters he wasn't in any purple patch ...Punter's scores in the test series had more to do with the quality of attack he got to face..before/after the test series his form has been discernibly average. Originally Posted by SoftSword

Though it was collecting performance, in the last match Ponting took 33 balls to score 7, may be to gain form? Eventually to bring up the run rate Wade played aggressively and got out. If Hussey was given out at that time, Australia would have struggled to score 250. I think that would have caused debate among the selectors and so Punter would have got the end card.
But he could have been rested instead of being dropped. It is like insulting your top player.

The biggest mistake by Indians on last one day match was..getting Ponting Wicket. We should have allowed him playing the entire 50 overs. Thus we would have got a rough total around 200-220. We should take wickets of aggressive players. not the players of poor-form. Ponting remembers me Miandad's batting in 96 world cup match against us.

once they get to hit one or two of their favorites shots perfectly with the sweet spot of the blade, they would gain their lost confidence...

Ponting after last match versus India defended his place in ODI, so rest and retirement are out of scope. If not for India and its buffet bowling Ponting would have been dropped in test matches too.

Angelo to face his first ball. Oh dear, Ashwin has Mankad-ed Thirimanne. Ashwin was walking in to bowl, Thirimanne was backing up, Ashwin knocks off the bails and asks the umpire "How's that?". Third umpire called for. I think Sachin Tendulkar has walked up and asked Sehwag to withdraw the appeal. Sensible stuff.

I understand that you feel he is more of an aggressive captain than Mahela, perhaps, he tried to follow Ranatunga, but he is still respected as "one of Cricketing greats"! Regarding accent, he educated from a "richer educational institute (run by Americans)" compared to his colleagues, hence you may find a slight Americanism in his accent. Originally Posted by wizzy

I like Sangakkara's batting much much more than Jayawardena's. He paces his innings exceedingly well. The recent century in SA - he ground his way in and then played his shots. Cricket-la ennOda kudukkal vaangal ivvaLO dhaan.
Anyway, sledge kooda stylishA paNNuvaarnu sollakkELvi. There is one video on youtube where he sledges - if it can be called a sledge at all, oru gentlemanly vambu izhuppu - Shaun Pollock. adhunaala I am like.
As always details ellAm theriyAdhu. I didn't even watch the match. But comparing him to subaltern saNdaikkaaran Ranatunga is adhunaala lightA kaNdikkiREn.

On Ravichandran Ashwin's attempt to run out non-striker Lahiru Thirimanne for backing up too much, Sehwag said, "I think Ashwin warned him, once in the previous over and then in next over. He took the bails off and appealed, umpires discussed and asked me. I said we could give him one more warning and if he does it again, we will go for that.
"Ashwin did appeal. Umpires consulted. Since Billy Bowden was the senior umpire, he (Paul Reiffel) asked me and discussed with me. He said it's your call now, if you appeal now, we can give him out. I took the decision that we could give him one more warning.
"If we appealed and umpires gave him out, then somebody would criticize that it was not in the spirit of the game. So we gave him one more warning."
Sehwag admitted it was rather 'soft' on his and team's part not to press for the run-out appeal.
"Yes, that's soft but that's the way we are," he reasoned. at the soft part..

If you warn him and make it unambiguous that this is a transgression you have warned him about then I think it is ok to make a batsman out.
reNdu warning kooda kudukkalaam. Depends on the case. You kinda know when someone is taking advantage of generosity and where someone is instinctively in 'prepared-for-a-quick-single' mode. So it has to be a judgement call each time.

-
From: Siv.S on 22nd February 2012 11:44 AM [Full View]
Sticking with the popular opinion, Jayawardene said that it was "nice and clean" to not run a batsman out who is technically indulging in unfair play. "I wouldn't have got the bails off in the first place, to be honest," he said. "Try and keep it nice and clean, and tell the umpires to try and keep an eye on the guy. But if he still keeps doing it regularly, and if he is taking advantage, yes then, but I think they did the right thing in the middle. The seniors got together. Like I said, let's move on."http://www.espncricinfo.com/commonwe...ry/554756.htmlThirimanne, though, kept backing up too far even after the let-off. He was careful with Ashwin, but with Vinay Kumar and Irfan Pathan, he kept taking the liberty. Why didn't those bowlers try something similar? "Because they were not aware," Sehwag said. "You have to be aware. Ashwin was aware, and I was aware when I was bowling. You have to be aware when the non-striker is taking a start."

Appadi illa Ajay. As far my observations goes.. in SL there are people who hate players from different countries for no valid reason (myself included). One of my cousins cannot stand SRT's face. Yaenda'nu kaetta - adhu ennavO avan moonji enakku pudikkathumbaan. Yuvaraj Singh is the most hated among all Indian players. Sourov moonji niRaiya paerukku pudikkaathu. Same goes for Harbajan. I have not see anybody hating Dravid. But as for Sri Lankans the most hated moonji is Shane Warne. I dont think anybody likes him. Ponting, McGrath faces are also not very popular. Personally I have always hated Shoaib Aktar's looks and to some extent dislike Yuvraj Singh's (but felt sad when I heard about his illness and I dont think I can dislike him anymore) . South Africa Allen Donald moonjiyum pidikkaathu but I like his bowling. Pothuvaa WI - Newzealand players maela yaarukkum erichal varrathilla. And I dont know the reason for that.

Many of my friends share the same opinion of SS about SL cricketers. People like Mahela, Murali are respected very much but not others. I know the 'respect' is mutual but there is something extra. As you said, we hate some faces for no particular reason. Shoaib/Warne ellam indha category. But the one I stated above is something different. More dislikes than likes.

Params,
Even if we analyze the same wrt cricket, neither SL or India have outsmarted each other consistently to develop a hatred citing defeat as a reason. India has played Australia more than they've played SL. Enna onnu, SL players formla illainna Indiava anga kooppittu round kattuvaainga and vice versa. adhu onnum periya vishayam illaiye?i

This could also be one of the reasons for the hated. Enakku therinju in SL as a team Indian team is the most hated. There used to be a time when most of the north tamilians supported Indian team but they are the people who hate the Indian team the most now. The twitter and FB messages I see from some of them when a SL Vs India match is on is just unbelivable. And specially yesterday's match. It was just shocking the way they were name calling every Indian player. Originally Posted by ajaybaskar

Ellaam cockroach logic dhaan. We generally dislike whiners and arrogantsbut some exceptions are given to "our" whiners. Hence the universal hate for Ricardo. Warne is more liked than disliked in most places. In Sri Lanka, the feeling against him might be because of his rivalry with Murali and the genberal anglo-saxon ability to dominate opinion and spread the opinion that Warne is greater than Murali. Much of my hate for Warne is for a similar reason. Much of indian hate for Ponting is also for similar reason never mind his arrogance and entitlement. Each case will have its own reasons - some generalisations can be made, some cannot...

Warne also had issues with Ranatunga.. and that's also one of the reasons for the hated. Same goes for Mark Taylor.

I am a little surprised Mahela claims that "he doesn't play that way" when his guy Thirumaran continued to take a headstart even after the runout-recall incident. If he is the type of guy who doesn't condone Ashwin taking bauls off, shouldn't he have acknowledged that Thirumaran did wrong by continuing to back up even after the incident. Lost a bit of my respect there, did Mahela.

[quote ="M Clarke"]I'm 100% part of the selection panel," Clarke said. "That's part now of the captain's job. We've made this decision as a panel. It is tough not having the great Ricky Ponting out there playing for us but that's the decision we've made. Obviously the 2015 World Cup is something we've spoken about as a panel. I'm 100% a part of that."Ricky was captain of the team for a long time and although he wasn't a selector he played a big part in selecting the XI players that took the field. I remember getting dropped after the Test match in the West Indies and Punter was the one who came and told me I hadn't been selected. He knows it's certainly not personal.

Argentina - mercurial football team high on talent, high-tempered, mercurial folks, in constant tussle with match referees and umpires, high profile drug abuse champions in the team - and don't play to potential 90 percent of the time. If they play to potential and work together as a team, no better team in the world. But that happens only rarely. At their best, their cricket/football is of the highest aesthetic variety - unmatched by any other team in their respective sport. I think it is a most apposite comparison.

Discord, dissent hurt Indian team
seems Sehwag was preoccupied and wasn't being himself in all the matches overseasSehwag himself has always said he plays his best cricket when he has emptied his mind of all thoughts, when he is just reacting to the next ball. It is not happening here. so that explains that numb shot over point last match.

imagine a very good batsman, very gentlemanish, is playing on 99, and he getting 100 would not affect the result of the match, then he was stumped out, the captain appeals, and the umpire asks the caption if he wanna show any mercy, and the caption withdraws knowing that it would not affect the result of the match... not against the rules sheet given to the umpire?

Jayawardene warns Thirimanne over backing-up too far
I have [spoken to him]," Jayawardene said. "I think there was a bit of fault in him as well. He's a young lad and I'm sure he'll learn from that. We've spoken, definitely. "I think he can take a start but it's just where he's leaving the crease is probably a bit unfair. He can probably hold himself a bit longer and then take a start, I don't think that's a problem. It's just him understanding exactly what he can do and what he can't do."
eruku aana ellaeClarke will have a difficult decision to make if Thirimanne continues to back up too far in Friday's match. "I hope he decides to stay in his crease," Clarke said. "I'm glad that nothing has come of it. It's a part of the game I don't like. I don't the mankad rule at all. I don't think you should be able to mankad.
"But in saying that, if somebody is going to be a long way outside their crease, you would hope that by warning them they would understand that the bowler or the fielding captain has asked the batsman to stay in his crease. If he continues to do that, it is in the rules that you can be out like that. But I hope we don't have to worry about it."

I think you have not seen running between the wickets properly. Normally, cricketers back up by running from within the crease or start running at the point of ball delivery. A player playing at the international level would be definetly aware of this, the fact that Thirimanne was doing it repeatedly again only shows he was taking the fair-play to his advantage.

I've always liked KP
He managed to get a lot of my respect from his debut series. First 50 in Lords in his first test. He was picked instead of a 100 Test veteran Graham Thorpe. Smashed the wits out of Warne, Mcgrath and especially Lee. Played some real audacious shots and was out to a great catch by Damien Martyn. His 5th Test 100 literally brought home the Ashes.
Quite a nice bloke from whatever i heard. During the recession he said he would like to help some of his friends who lost jobs and faced some tough time.
He is the best example of screw the system which screws you instead of taking care of you. Always plays positive cricket w/o boring the day light out of you.

From Cricinfo:
Srinivas explains the grey area that no one seems comfortable to cross. "Jayawardene talking to the umpire about the non-striker taking a start just shows how ridiculous this 'Spirit of the game' concept/theory is. Either he knows the rules for mankading or not. If yes, go ahead and mankad him. Or else, just keep quiet."

Declaring that: "I will never do such a thing" is a bad idea.
Even if it is not just PR and you sincerely mean it, you are shooting yourself in the foot by declaring that upfront. Others will take advantage of you.

I remember once Mongia ran out Azhar. It was totally Mongia's fault and anyone almost anyone would have sacrificed their wicket for the bigger batsman. It is definitely not in the interest of the fielding team to wait for the sacrifice to happen. But I remember Dave Richardson paused a moment to see if Mongia would do the right thing. (Today he would be criticized for waiting. It is well within your right to take advantage of opponent stupidity etc.).
Mongia did not even look in that direction so Richardson removed the bails and got Azhar out. I don't recall which match though. Anyone else remember?

Feeyar, if Mongia refused to sacrifice his wicket for Azhar, it is not quite straightforward - considering the principals involved, it might even be that they had an understanding that he WiLL NOT sacrifice himself. Infact, the situation may have been manufactured with the explicit goal of sending Azhar to the pavilion. These days though bookies don't have to pay an indian batsman(barring Dhoni in odis) to get out - adhellaam thaanaave nadakkum

FYI, This is what Mahela said; I wouldn't have got the bails off in the first place, to be honest," he said. "Try and keep it nice and clean, and tell the umpires to try and keep an eye on the guy . But if he still keeps doing it regularly, and if he is taking advantage, yes then, but I think they did the right thing in the middle. The seniors got together. Like I said, let's move on."

For those who couldn't comprehend, what f-r said was not "mahela is not smart because he committed a certain line of action and he can't stick to it." What he clearly said:"mahela is not smart because he has committedhis line of action beforehand to take the moral highground. A real smart cookie - read anglo saxon - will lleave it ambiguous and still take the moral high ground thereby keeping options open for actual action when the scenario folds.". And the joke made on Mahela was that he had been forced to act on his words and therefroe, not very smart at all. Comprehensio, comprehension.

India
India have it all to do in the last round of matches. If they win both their matches they'll surely be through, but anything less, and they'll struggle: in case they lose one of their matches, India will require a bonus point in the other, and hope that other results go their way. For instance, if they beat Australia with a bonus point on Sunday and lose to Sri Lanka, they'll need Sri Lanka to beat Australia in the last match on Friday. If, on the other hand, they lose to Australia and beat Sri Lanka with a bonus point, they'll want Australia to beat Sri Lanka. In that scenario, both India and Sri Lanka will have 15 points with three wins each, but India will have a 2-1 lead in their head-to-head against Sri Lanka, which, according to the rules of this tournament, will take precedence over the net run rate.

Sri Lanka
They're currently sitting pretty on 15 points, but aren't yet through to the finals: if India win their last two games and if Australia beat Sri Lanka in the last match of the round-robin, then Sri Lanka will miss out on the finals. Sri Lanka could also miss out if they lose both their matches and concede a bonus point to India, and if Australia beat India. In such a case India and Sri Lanka will be level on 15, but India will scrape through on the basis of having more wins against Sri Lanka (two wins and only one defeat).

Dhoni says umpires should take Mankading call
Sidharth Monga in Sydney
February 25, 2012
MS Dhoni has said it is unfair to put the onus on the fielding captain when an appeal for mankading is made, as it was against Lahiru Thirimanne during India's match against Sri Lanka on Tuesday. R Ashwin had spotted Thirimanne leave the crease well before the ball was bowled, he ran him out, and then appealed. The umpires asked Virender Sehwag, the captain then because Dhoni wasn't playing that game, if he wanted to go ahead with the appeal, and fearing criticism Sehwag withdrew the appeal.
Dhoni questioned the existence of the rule if the captain has to be asked every time. "I feel that [unfair] is what it [the act of asking the captain] is," Dhoni said. "Either there should be rules or there shouldn't be rules. Why are you asking the captain? Why are you putting him in a position? But I think the right thing was done. Because the captain was asked, we withdrew the appeal."
Dhoni said the right thing was done because India wanted to give Thirimanne the benefit of the doubt because these rules keep changing, and it is possible that players are not abreast with all the changes. "Because what happens is too many rules are getting changed," Dhoni said. "Often what's important is to give the batsman a fair chance, like a warning, saying, 'Okay, please don't do it.'"
Sehwag, though, said that Ashwin had warned Thirimanne. "A proper warning always is, you get him out and then it's a proper warning," Dhoni said. "Nobody listens to you until you do it."
However, Dhoni showed a much better understanding of the rule than the other two captains involved in the triangular. Mahela Jayawardene said he wouldn't even have removed the bails because he wants to keep the game "nice and clean". Michael Clarke said he didn't even like mankading, before saying only persistent backing-up would force him to contemplate it after proper warning. "I'm glad that nothing has come of it," Clarke said. "It's a part of the game I don't like. I don't like the mankad rule at all. I don't think you should be able to mankad."
Dhoni, though, said he understood the rule was changed last year to keep the batsman in their crease, to prevent that unfair advantage of a head-start even before a ball is bowled. Dhoni said if any party could be accused of unfair play in this case, it was the batsman, and not the fielding side, as the convention of spirit of cricket would dictate.
"It was important to appeal," Dhoni said. "The reason being it's in the law that the batsman can't go out. Often it is put on the opposition captain. For example, on Virender Sehwag. Saying, you know, it's wrong. If it's part of the rule, it's not wrong. Of course to take the decision or not the decision is something different.
"Eventually if you are saying somebody was cheating - if I may use the word cheating, you can use some other word - in this case, then the batsman getting out is the one who is cheating, because he is not allowed to do that. So I think it was a fair thing to do. You can't always have the batsman going so far ahead because he can complete the run if it goes to short fine or point or short third, he is in a better position to complete the run. I think it was a good decision. At the end that he was not taken out by our skipper."

Dhoni: But I think the right thing was done. Because the captain was asked, we withdrew the appeal.
not to be confused, what he says as the right thing is, the captain withdrew the appeal only because he was asked. he did not say, asking the captain was the right thing. sehwag did the right thing.

It was clearly out. According to the rules, even a warning is not required, i guess. Do they warn the batsman if he uses his pads instead of his bat to stop the ball from hitting the stops. He is declared out lbw, right? This is somewhat similar to that. Just that this rule has been newly introduced, so it may seem weird. But, now, mankading is perfectly within sportsmanship spirit or fairplay spirit or any such thing. Jayawardene criticised Ashwin saying he doesn't play like that. Maybe, he doesn't like to follow rules.

idhai edhukku ivvaLO analysis??
It is definitely an iffy way to get a batsman out. You would rather earn his wicket. You warn him. If he doesn't listen and takes advantage of your generosity then you get him out. That's it.
When warning it will be useful to make it very public, clear to the umpires too. That's all.
illainnA, oh I was never warned-nu solla vAippu irukku.
"As per rules I don't need to warn you"-nu sollalaam. But no-one will (should?) want to get a batsman out like that.
Shouldn't let someone take advantage of being nice - varaikkin ok.
But "just go-by rules" is something I can't take.
If you're not alert your ass belongs to us - kinda attitude is unacceptable (to me).
Tony Greig running out the WIndian batsman who defended the last ball of the day and assumed it was dead. He wasn't even going for a run, just walking off. It became an issue and had to be reversed.
Once Gooch played and missed Kumble. More collected. Like batsman do he replayed that shot. The ball wasn't dead. More whipped off the bails. And he was given out stumped. Nasty way to get a wicket. Rankles me enough to remember till today.
Just to be clear, if someone overbalances and steps out and then the keeper stumps I am fine with that. But 'hey I trust the ball's dead' assumption is the basic leeway on expects. Murali runout by NZ after we went to congratulate Sangakkara. You can say Murali was at fault. But it feels plain wrong.
Just to be more and more clear. I am all for inventive playing like this which takes advantage of the opposition's stupidity
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH4CSrHU0j0
But taking a wicket is different. I just saw this stumping on youtube, you guys must have seen it in IPL and discussed about it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbcTXjbIHLY
I find it ridiculous.
New age cleverness, presence of mind-nu ellAm justify paNNuvaangaLA irukkum.
So, let us talk about particular cases. This case Thirimanne tried to take advantage of the slack India cut him by backing-up even after warnings.
Let us not say 'let us do away with any need for judgement'. No slack shall be cut and that's how the game will be played. That's very urgh.

No way Lee could have guessed Sachin was behind him and it is the batsman's responsibility to run safely enough.
Even when facing the batsman, the bowler is under no obligation to make way for him. It is one of those queer moments where it so happened Sachin was unfortunately strapped for space. Nothing more to read into it, except oru manushanukku keragam sari illainA, ellA kaNraaviyum nadandhE theerum.

P_R,
The ball was going behind the wicket. So either Warner or Wade had to pick it up. Even if Lee had to run for backing up the throw, it should've been on the other side of the strip. there was no reason why Lee ran in this fashion.

Around-nga confirmed around. Naturally you follow the ball. And it was clear he had no idea Sachin was behind him.
In fact if he kept going Sachin wouldn't have had a problem. Lee applied the brakes when he saw Warner was near nailing it. So Sachin got caught.
Let me spell out what I had in mind when I said it was Sachin's mistake. If it was anyone else but Lee I think Sachin would have gone ahead ramming into him. natpu kaaraNamAga slow aayittaar-nu ninaikkiREn.

Only problem with India is that our players won't use these incidents to their favour. Batsmen can stand mid pitch and complete the run, obstruct the throws and claim that they feared being hit and bowlers can block the batsmen citing that they were obsessed with balls.

P.S:
cricinfo'la oru manga ipdi solraan:
The run-out
It was a day of potentially controversial runs and consultation with the rulebook. After the David Hussey incident, another potential incident happened with Tendulkar. Gautam Gambhir bunted one down to point, and Tendulkar set off for the single straightaway, only to find Brett Lee, the bowler, in his way, near the striker's end, with his back to the non-striker's end. According to the law, it is the batsman's responsibility to run around the bowler; not the bowler's to make way. The only way a batsman can get away with such a run-out is if the fielding side withdraws the appeal. Australia were in no mood to. The supporters of mankading can stretch the point and raise the question why the umpires didn't ask the fielding side to reconsider this appeal.

SS, in sports especially in these delikate positions you need some drama to get the decision going your way..there was no way with Sach going around the bowler would have prompted OZ to feel it was against their morality to get the wicket this way or for the umpires to have brought upon them self to nudge Twatto to recall Sach....looking back even if Sach just stood his ground when Lee was in his way and did not attempt to complete the run then there is good chance of getting the decision in his favour.

About Tendulkar's run-out, Dhoni complained of different yardsticks on different days. "I need to give an example of what happened in the Brisbane game that I was playing in [on February 19]," Dhoni said. "Vinay [Kumar] was bowling, we had a slip, and we didn't have a midwicket. And the ball went to the point fielder, Vinay crossed the wicket and he was coming towards midwicket [to back up the throw].
"The umpire came up to him and said, 'You are not allowed to do that.' But he was doing something that was well within the laws of the game. I don't think we can justify the fact that Lee was going towards the point fielder. I don't think he had any business there. Then he stopped right in front of Sachin, which means you have to take a longer way, across him. That's my reading of that particular run-out."

iirc this was umpire warning VK for running on the pitch..umpires did had a word with VK before that incident..even Chappelli was questioning that ridiculous call by the umpire ...still going by Dhoni's version how can an umpire warn a bowler from fielding the ball Originally Posted by ajaybaskar

Vinay Kumar has been given a warning for running across the pitch, really harsh there from the umpire as the bowler was just running towards the striker's end to back up the fielding
Peter Forrest comes into bat. He has opened the innings for Australia in this series, so he should be able to deliver a good knock here.

Lee couldn't have effected the run out and also he was not backing up the stumps as he was on the other side, but it didn't look deliberate blocking to me. Sachin could have stayed or indicated it was blocking, if he felt so, that would have put some pressure on the opponents and the umpires. We can't expect the opponents, especially Aussies to invite Sachin to bat again, that too when they clearly want to deny that one century in this series. Being SACHIN, he might have thought it's silly to stay there. Ennavo nadanthathu nadanthu pochu.
But, why still Sehwag is sent as opener when Sachin and Gambhir could form R-L combination and could keep the opponent guessing by holding Sehwag at lower down. He is giving psychological edge to the opponents by losing his big wicket in 1 or 2 overs in the chase. And when India is going to win the toss every time I wake up to see India bowling

fyi,
in county club matches, when a bowler in his follow through goes a bit in front of the umpire and the batting side stumps, the bowler would be warned saying that he obstructs the view and in such cases they cannot give any decisions if appealed... the umpires always deem a batman's wicket to be a precious one which requires a benefit of doubt.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/commonwe...ry/555370.htmlIndia have a head coach, a fielding coach, a bowling coach, and other support staff that includes an analyst, a trainer, a physio, and a masseur. Then there are 17 cricketers. Between them not one had bothered to check the playing conditions and inform the captain that India were still alive in the tournament - only just, but alive. After their third straight defeat in the triangular series - and third while conceding a bonus point to Australia - India's captain MS Dhoni said his side couldn't make it to the finals now because the margin of their losses was too big to make up for in the net-run-rate column.

Non-performing players likely to be axed
A number of players, now touring Australia, are likely to be axed when the national cricket selectors meet in Mumbai on February 29 to choose the team for the Asia Cup cricket tournament, that will also feature Pakistan Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
The meeting of the selection committee, to be chaired by Krishnamachari Srikkanth, comes after another crushing defeat for India in the tri-series match against Australia in Sydney in which players like Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja stood out as failures.
Jadeja, who was bought by skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings for a whopping USD 2 million, failed again by making only 8 runs to give team a total of 101 runs in seven matches of the tri-series for an average of 16.83.
He has been touted as an all-rounder but has taken only two wickets for an average of 142.
The limitation of Raina, who has an excellent record at home, was exposed again in today's match when he scored just 8 runs to give him an aggregate of 142 runs in seven matches for an average of 20.28.
His excellent fielding may not be enough for him to retain his place.
A key question before the selectors would concern Sachin Tendulkar -- whether he would make himself available for selection and whether he will be picked up after a poor run in ODIs in Australia.
Virender Sehwag's bad form is another issue to be addressed by the selectors. It would not come as a surprise if he is ignored.
Asia Cup may give the selectors an opportunity to try out the likes of Manoj Tiwary, who is part of the ODI team in Australia, but has not been given an opportunity.
Opener Ajinkya Rahane, Rajasthan's Robin Bist, who emerged as the highest run-scorer in Ranji trophy this season, are some of the players who can get a chance.
Stumper batsman Dinesh Karthik, who hit three centuries this season so far, is also an option for the selectors as he can be used as an opener as well.
The selection committee meeting to pick the team was advanced by a day to February 29 from March 1.
India are to clash with Sri Lanka in their opening match of the tournament on March 13.

Eh?
There was no need, basis, reason whatsoever for Aussies to ask Tendulkar to come back.
'How come they are not generous' is a curious curious question.
"If they are not generous, we also shouldn't be" is an even more curious conclusion.
It would have been nice if they had excused Sachin. And I believe if there was a dashing,fall etc. there would have been a case. Not when you pause like Sachin did - he had reasonable grounds because Brett Lee came out of nowhere. But in that moment Sachin did stop. There endeth the case.
So there was no basis on which it could be given not out. Atleast understand that expecting such a largesse is something too much. It is not the kind of thing you would think ill of the opposition for if they did not grant.

does he look like getting injured on that throw? logically only when you are running towards a throw does your hand comes in purely as a reflex ..in this case he was running away from the throw...concur on Dussey running like mad and letting the ball hit his fleshier part of the body..but anyways reflex or not he did that to purely save his wicket...

Time to quote the law
now tell me why Dussey isn't outEither batsman is out Obstructing the field if he wilfully obstructs or distracts the fielding side by word or action.
Furthermore, it shall be regarded as obstruction if while the ball is in play either batsman wilfully, and without the consent of a fielder, strikes the ball with his bat or person, other than a hand not holding the bat, after the ball has been touched by a fielder. This shall apply whether or not there is any disadvantage to the fielding side. See 4 below.

from cricinfo's Mongo article Dussey case was 'handling the ball' since the intent was to avoid the injury he was adjudged 'notout' appo had the appeal been made on 'obstructing the field' would he be given out?
MCC's take on the same... http://www.lords.org/data/files/law_33_qanda-9681.pdf
Law 33
33-A Handled the ball versus Obstructing the field
In most cases when a batsman wilfully handles the ball, he will disadvantage the fielding side
in some way. If he is given out on appeal, how does the umpire decide whether he is out
Handled the ball or Obstructing the field?
It is true that the Law does not lay down clear boundaries between these two situations.
The difference lies in the intent.
To be out Obstructing the field, either umpire (or if necessary the umpires together after
consultation) must consider that the batsman has made a wilful attempt to obstruct or distract
the opposing side by word or action. Such action could include handling the ball in some
way, but the use of a hand not holding the bat would only be the means by which the attempt
is made.
To be out Handled the ball, it is the wilful handling itself which contravenes the Law, with
no particular intention of obstructing the fielding side.
The striker ‘handling the ball’ in receiving it from the bowler may do so to prevent the ball
from hitting his wicket. He is out Handled the ball. If, however, the ball had already touched
his bat and the wicket- keeper or a close fielder is making an attempt to catch it, then pushing
it away with his hand will be preventing a catch and he will be out Obstructing the field.
Between these two clear cut extremes, there will be cases where it is difficult to be sure
that the action was ‘a wilful attempt to obstruct. . . . .’
In one case where the batsman’s purpose in handling the ball may or may not be evident,
the Law removes the necessity for the umpires to consider intent. In Law 37.4, it could be
well be a ‘free’ hand which, without consent, is used to return the ball in play to a fielder.
This section of Law speaks only of ‘bat or person’. The batsman is then out Obstructing the
field, since a hand not holding the bat is part of his person.

Hiding behind techicality. Tell me one thing - is there a history of such incidents going against England or Australia when playing Asian teams? Why is the interpretation always in their favour. As Dhoni pointed out only few days back, Vinay was warned for doing what Lee did - and this when Vinay had more justification. How is this NOT an evidence of anglo naadharithanam? Why are you looking at evrything in isolation and doing verbal gymnastics? Enakku badhil solla vENAm naan reverse racist. Answer Dhoni no?

In fact in this whole discussion- Hussey, Lee, Tendu, that was the only point that is worth noting.
I disagree with his 'Lee had no business being there'. But he's surely got a point about the inconsistency in the warning being issued to Vinay for the same thing Lee did.
My take (andha matchE paakkalai, but will assume comparability of the situations based on Dhoni's word): Vinay also should not have been warned.

Peripheral vision is being able to look forward and see the sides at the same time. Look directly at your computer screen. Can you still see what's going on around you, to the left and right of your head? That's peripheral vision. When a soccer player sees a teammate out of the corner of his or her eye, the player is using his peripheral vision. Because much of what happens in sports does not happen directly in front of you, it's important to increase your ability to see action to the side without having to turn your head. A profession sportsmen like Brett Lee will definitely possess the ability.

Dhoni
Dhoni equated Hussey's outstretched hand to a handball in football. "In his judgement he was protecting himself, but his hand was too far ahead," Dhoni said. "Just like an example, a soccer incident where your hands are popping out and it hits your hand, you get a penalty irrespective of what's happening. So that's why I said, plain and simple, it is out."

From Wiki:
Sledging is common at most levels of the game in Australia, but one Australian with a particular reputation for sledging was former fast bowler Merv Hughes. His intimidating and aggressive bowling style was often accompanied by a mixture of humorous witticisms, and vitriolic abuse. On occasions he crossed the line from sledging to insulting. However there are numerous occasions of classic sledges delivered by Hughes.
On one such occasion, Hughes was bowling to Pakistan batsman Javed Miandad, who informed the overweight bowler he looked like "a fat bus conductor". The very next ball, Hughes bowled Miandad, screaming "tickets please!" as he ran to celebrate with team mates.

Mark Waugh & James Ormond.
James Ormond came out to bat in a match with Australia. Mark Waugh, at slip, let rip: "What are you doing out here? You're too shit to play for England!" Ormond replied: "Maybe so, but at least I'm the best player in my family".

conductor” as the pair squared up to one another. A few balls later,Hughes got his man and as Javed walked past, could not resist shouting “Tickets,please!”

ANDREW FLINTOFF (ENG) v TINO BEST (WINDIES)
West Indies quickie Tino Best is never short of a word to say when he is bowling. So Freddie got his own back when he was at the crease. Spinner Ashley Giles was on his way in to bowl to Tino when Flintoff whispered to him: "Watch the windows, Tino." He promptly danced down the wicket, swung and missed and was stumped by Geraint Jones. Flintoff could not contain his glee laughing for a good few minutes.

I saw Steven Finn sledge. Yes I would'n't've noticed that but for the videos here because I missed seeing those matches. So thanks for that.
I saw Strauss recalling Angelo Matthews. There too the bowler was NOT at fault IMO. Perhaps you will consider it well-masked intentional bumping by the bowler.
The recalling was totally uncalled for. It was the batsman fault.If anyone was acting helpless and making the most out of that moment it was Matthews.
Strauss was being too generous - which is great to see. Flower may not have approved of it. I am saying that is the kind of largesse we can be glad when we see but we cannot demand it as a right, basic courtesy etc. It is not something you will fault the opposition captain for, for not enforcing. That is what happened last match wrt Sachin. Watson wasn't Strauss. Surprise!
Now your cue to say that this is my 'idhu dhaan dA' sAkku defence of Strauss who is but a wolf in sheepish clothing. indha oppressors ellAraiyin sandhEgak kaNNOda pAkkaNum.

Cric buzz- It was almost as casual as a walk in the park from the Indians. They didn't seem interested at all. The body language was poor, the bowling was ineffective and the fielding was apalling! Sri Lanka made full use of it and batted with a lot of conviction. They seemed more desperate for a win than their neighbours. Sangakkara and Dilshan played some sublime strokes and at times were literally toying with the bowlers. Sangakkara departed shortly after his century but Dilshan went on to score a massive 160 and broke a few records on the way. It looks like an uphill task for the Indians and If I were you I wouldn't place even a dime on them qualifying.

Venki, the same shot went for four in the previous ball. No point in blaming Shewag here. He had to go after every ball and he did that very sensibly today. Originally Posted by venkkiram

October 2011 onwards, ICC has twicked the rule a bit by forcing captains to call batting and bowling powerplays inside 16th to 40th over. This means once first 10 overs of mandatory field restriction is over, bowling side can't call for PP. If they want to, they'll have to wait till completion of 15th over. On other hand, batting side will have to call batting PP on or before 36th over. This means overs 11th to 15 and 40th to 50th cannot be under powerplays!

Every time we savour ODI wins, can't help thinking that we'll be happy with test series losses for the odd exciting ODI win - on a batting track, may I add.

ah.this is something special.. the best so far... overyakes Azhar hitting 5 boundaries of Klusner...
34.6
Malinga to Kohli, FOUR, 143.7 kph, gosh, I am tired just describing this over. Spare a thought for Malinga. Another low full toss on the toes, you know the rest. This is horrid bowling in the Powerplay, with fine leg in the circle. Kohli has 122 off 81 balls.
34.5
Malinga to Kohli, FOUR, 141.8 kph, If you are the Bellerive Oval, you are seeing the world's best death bowler being butchered. Kohli gets another low full toss on his toes and flicks it behind square leg for another four. Great batting, turning the pressure back on a nerveless bowler. A normally nervesless bowler.
34.4
Malinga to Kohli, FOUR, 143.6 kph, he's shredded Malinga. Absolute battering this now. This is almost the perfect yorker, it tails in and hurtles towards the toes. Kohli's bat comes down decisively, taking advantage of a missed inch of length. Four through fine leg.
34.3
Malinga to Kohli, FOUR, 141.5 kph, take cover in the covers! Pitched up outside off stump, and Kohli smashes it between cover and mid-off. Malinga squints as he follows the path of the ball.
34.2
Malinga to Kohli, SIX, 142.8 kph, Gambhir won't mind this. It could end in the 38th over. Length, length, listless length ball on the pads, Kohli's wrists do the rest and send them into the night sky. They land in the grassbanks again.
34.1
Malinga to Kohli, 2 runs, 140.4 kph, he smiles. He doesn't curse, he smiles. Kohli has played the innings of his life. Malinga goes full on middle and leg, Kohli flicks into the deep and hurries back for the second. And he soaks in the atmosphere. Take a bow, Kohli!

while everyone knows malinga helped us a great lot with his poor bowling, should give some credit to sehwag too for breaking his confidence in the begining by pulling him for six and fours... which made jayawardane to keep him away from bowling... (reminds me of 2003 WC akhtar kept away after bowling just two overs)

at that stage when sehwag got out, if gambhir played like usual as scoring 7 runs of first 20 balls it would hav added more pressure and their bowlers would hav taken a upper hand... but he faced them in an attacking way which is unusual of him in current series which maintained the tempo... indha maadhiri chinna chinna bricks dhane avlo periya scorea adikka help pannuchu... similar to wat he did on apr 2.

Good point there.
Some chump in Cricinfo posted this
"Sachin waited for around 50 ODIs and 4 tours to get his first one day hundred in Australia. Kohli did it in 8th ODI in his first tour. What a player for the present and the future he is going to be." Comparisons with Sachin can wait,
Nobody takes into contention that Tendulkar had to play 5th or below position for the first 70+ ODI's.

As for Kohli, Feeyaar, let's not forget the subcontinental length of the boundaries and a CEO pitch. Rogith is Laxman 2.0 - invest in him, and you'll benefit few years down the line. You need all types of batsmen - 6 Kohlis won't do the job. Let's hope Rogith flourishes - it is good for Indian and World Cricket. Same with Umar Akmal. It is nice of Pakistan to blank England but innum 2 series of Shafiq-Misbah-Azhar - kaNNu avinju pOyidum. Please give me variety - like a lineup reading Viru, Rahul, Lax, Sach, with Gang and Gambhir occasionally at their best. Please give me some pleasing strokeplayers in World Cricket. Kohli is like Aussie batsman minus the comfort against short pitched balls and juicy pitches. Mechanically good, yes, reliable accumulator, yes. But Cricket needs more of the other type too. Let's not be triumphalistic about the failure of Rogith/Umar Akmal etc.

Plum, concur on Kohls accumulating runs with robot like precision but disagree on clubbing Umar Akmal and Nohit..the former is a cross batted slogger in Uttappam mould whilst the later has taken his 'talent' for granted and is at the risk of throwing it away however both seem to have mastered the art of shot selection though

Cha! How did I miss this match. Was watching till Tendulkar got out. Honestly, never thought Kohli can bat like this. This is a greater victory than WC finals, against the same opponents. SL severely beaten, that too more than 13 overs to spare, wow! can't believe even now. Evvalavu Naalachi indha maathiri India velayaandu. Once when there is crunch time, India delivers, which is usual, I suppose. Kohli, very well done!

At last caught up with the match. Just wow. What a performance from our batsmen. It was nice to see all our batsmen contribute.As for Virat, he's earned my respect.Surely the best innings by an indian batsmen in the past 6 months. But inspite of the victory, i feel our bowling is letting us down time and again. We shouldnt have been chasing 321 in the first place. At first I thought dhoni made a mistake opting to field first, but now alls well.Just a tad disappointed that sachin again failed to capitalise on his good start. BUt again the great victory made up for it.

this has been going rounds in twitter and other forums... yesterday during Srilankan batting when they were only around 169/1 in 34.2 overs there was a question from Aman to Cricinfo....
"Now tell me , in how many overs India has to chase 320 to get bonus point," asks Aman. 40 overs, irrespective of whether SL are all out for 169, or rack up 953 for 6. A change of bat for Sanga. Brings out the Hattori Hanzo now. Expect more violence.

We have to talk about Dhoni's test captaincy - his primary claim to fame as test captain was that teams under him looked energized compared to teams under Old geezer Kumble and Dravid. Eight Consecutive Test defeats - more importabtly the manner of defeats and lack of fight, uninspired fielding placements, defensive fielding when a tal ender is batting - and his own lack of technique as batsman. If it had been any othe captain, he'd have been sacked for Life. I put it down to lack of first class experience - all his life, limited overs have been his forte. Even in Kharapur as a local player in tennis ball matches, he played limited overs. This explains his street smartness and shrewdness as limited overs captain. But to be a tactician, to be a test captain, you need to have done the hard yards in 4 day matches. He doesn't have it. In India, even in test matches, this didn't get exposed. But in overseas, it got terribly exposed. For his own sake, dhoni must either retire from tests or take a sabbatical and play a couple of seasons of Ranji trophy. As ODI and T20 Captain, however, he should go on until his body crocls down...

From: Plum on 29th February 2012 12:03 PM [Full View]
1. Saha is the better w/k 2. Saha is poor as batsman - dhoniye better 3. 8-0 - captaincy is a big reason for it. Defensive captaincy at 124-8 situations deflates a team. A good captain could have made it atleast 5-2 instead of 8-0 with this team. Dhoni is a odi great but let's face it, his limitations in long form have been brutally exposed. And remember we debated his tendewncy to go defensive at 124-8 type situations even when he was winning tests. You guys militantly shouted me down then but in crucial junctures, this weakness of him let him down and made a bad tour even worse. 4. His tendency not to go for diving catches has been pointed out several times 5. Dhoni is a safe keeper but that is good for limited overs, not so useful in tests. 6. In test matches, a spectacular keeper who gives 10 extra byes might still be more useful 7. Basically, Dhoni doesn't have much first class experience - no use blaming him; we were wrong to paint a halo around him based on his odi form as batsman and captain - which is why I am opposing the same white paint attempt on Kohlu. He'll also be painted with non-existent virtues, made too big to be dropped from test team or given responsibilities not suited for him o- and then we'll blame everyone else for failures.

IMO a captain can only set fields and expect ur bowler to bowl to that field.. we keep criticising Dhoni for keeping a fielder on after every boundary hit in an area, but its ideally the bowler who should be bowling to the field set or set a field and bowl to it. Nammoorla evanum appadi podraapla therla (lets have a test series with IPL teams, then watch his captaincy with CSK bowling attack for tests )
4. I dont care abt Diving catches, he has held onto brilliant catches in the past and in effecting stumpings and run outs i guess he is the best in the world
5. I'd concede that, but India does not have a better WK for that either (no saha doesnt fit in)
7. FC exp laam a bit overrated nga, what did Jaffer/Akash Chopra etc do overseas? held fort in a couple of series thts it. MSD's technique is not helping his test batting, thts a fact - whether he will learn to adapt or choose ODIs IPLs is the question - he has more or less answered it already though

First Class experience - I quoted in the context of Captaincy. First class cricket exposes you to a variety of situations as a captain and hones your long form captaincy skills. Same way, the host of Limited over matches at all levels that Dhoni played in Ranchi and Kharagpur have honed his limited over captaincy skills. We saw the positive effect of this captaincy experience in his Limited overs leadership. We are also seeing the negative effects of his lack of long form captaincy experience in Tests. Idhula Chopra, Jaffer ellAm where from they came?
Having said that
1) Jaffer has a double century in SA and WI - not to be scoffed at all
2) Chopra helped us draw a series in Australia. We would have benefitted from having his type in both our recent tours. A 35 off 145 balls with the opener staying until Tea - that is something Dhoni would have given his right hand for in both recent tours. One such batsman needs to be there in the team - the reason we dont do well in overseas tests is taht we WANT SIX BATSMEN IN THE TEAM WHO WILL PLAY STROKES AND HIT SIXERS. We need to embrace the fact that we need a Chopra. The #1 team today has Alastair Cook at the top - not a coincidence at all.

Plum, I find Dhoni at ease whilst captaining the side in subcontinental conditions with 2 spinners on..he looks lost when he had a captain a side with 3/4 pacers...on first instance of attack from batsman he goes into run saving mode..his staple tactic of strangling the oppo. by spin and wait for the ball to reverse to unleash Zk/Ishh doesn't work in comparatively greener overseas conditions while it works like charm in subcontinental conditions. Also Isshh seem to bowl better in subcontinental conditions.
story was going around that Dhoni had agreed to rest for the Asia cup but when ATG name cropped up for captaincy some strings were pulled and Kohls been made VC now..all pointing to much talked about split between the two.

Sehwag had won more test matches for us compared to any other opener. Gone are the days where we need to defend and play for 5 sessions to score 50 runs. We need someone who can play like gilchrist, Hayden etc and change the test match approach. Would prefer Sehwag or similar guys at the top order.

Mgb, the talk of rift/Dilli ganging up against Dhoni isn't something new..this started way back in t-20 worldcup in Eng then Sehwag was even 'accused' of hiding injury..Dhoni even had to parade all the players to his press conf. as a show of strength...were was dilli bellys frustration and it didn't affect their test form then...all the more reason to drop them if their game is getting affecting by all these talk of rift/press releases..clash of egos isn't something new in our cricket but to paper over your form/fitness with this is plainly wrong and that would set a wrong precedent.

Yov pongayya badrikku TN teamlaye place thathinganathom. India teamla vera selectionA. Actually, let me raise a point w.r.t Badri - Badri played 2 tests against Saffers - scored a 50 showed promise but was dropped. Kohli after several failures was given chance after chance until he succeeded. When Badri was dropped he was about 30 years in age. I think this is an example of even in such boom times for TN with Cheeka, TN player not getting an equal opportunity. TN bias biasnu solliyE Badri got a raw deal. M Vijay ate up all the opps TN can get I guess but still the north indies media's role in hounding out Badri must be examined.

This was the over Badri couldn't put bat to ball..he was late on the shot every single time whilst Khols was getting behind it at ease
4.1 Russell to Badrinath, no run, 135.4 kph, is that out? West Indies are sure, Badri had made some room to go over extra cover but Russell followed him with a nasty short one that reared up at Badri, who dropped the wrists and pulled his head out of the way, Windies think there is some glove on its way to Baugh, Sammy cannot believe it as umpire Malcolm takes a lot of time before shaking his head, he raised his left hand initially before putting it down, hmm 14.2 Russell to Badrinath, no run, 135.7 kph, defended off the back foot as he gets behind the line of a length ball 14.3 Russell to Badrinath, no run, 134.3 kph, pushed away close to the wicket, cannot get it away 14.4 Russell to Badrinath, no run, 135.7 kph, Badri is going hard at this one, the pressure is on, there for the drive and Badri bends the knee and has a swing, beaten completely 14.5 Russell to Badrinath, 1 run, 135.7 kph, Badri is in trouble again, but gets away to the other end this time, short ball and he goes for the awkward pull, getting too much outside the line, but it falls short of long leg 14.6 Russell to Kohli, no run, 133.2 kph, played out calmly in to the off side to end a testing over
gets out in Russell's next over
16.1 Russell to Badrinath, no run, 135.4 kph, targets him with the short ball again, he arches back to slash it towards third man but misses by a long way Virat has a chat with Badri 16.2 Russell to Badrinath, no run, 136.4 kph, that will help, Russell bowls one fuller for the drive and Badri obliges with a well-timed drive that flies straight to mid on 16.3 Russell to Badrinath,OUT, 140.4 kph, that is the end of Badrinath;s struggle, the short ball has consumed him, Russell has been bending his back to get the short one to climb up, this one was angled down leg, Badri got too far outside the line again and wen for a half-hearted pull, and only ended up gloving it towards Baugh who took a superb one-handed catch S Badrinath c †Baugh b Russell 12 (29m 27b 1x4 0x6) SR: 44.44
I have never seen batsman at this level who struggled to get behind the line..either he is short of int. class or a nervous wreck at this level.

SS, getting beaten I can understand..it happens to best of the players whether they are newbie/exp...Badri hesitated even to get behind the line..it was like watching a int. class bowler against a club cricketer..I can understand the struggles in test cricket but in odies that too against a bowler like Russel it was a redux of Sujith Somasundaram against McGrath.

Yeah.. First match was against the proteas and he made 9 off 30 odd balls. Second match was against the Aussies. Consumed the same 30+ balls to make a similar score before being bowled by McG. Curtains!! Originally Posted by ajithfederer

You guys are being unfair on Badri. Solid 56 against Steyn+Morkel. Mike Hussey mAdhiri vandhirukka vENdiyadhu. Kohlikku En kaanfidence irukkAdhu? Wi kooda 10un 20um adikkaRachEVE future captain-nu article ezhudhareenga? Was Badri given such confidence? If Badri, Pujara, Kohli, Raina, Yuvi et all are given equal chances in difficult conditions, I'd bet Badri(of 2 years back) and Pujara will come out top. But everything is not equal in Indain Cricket - one day bullies and FtBs get more chances. Yuvi/Raina Adina test ellAm waste. Avlo chance Badrikku Yuvi timela kuduthurndhA he'd have emerged as a solid #5 batsman. I really feel sorry for Badri. I mean, I can understand if Ganguly blocked a place but Yuvi? Raina?

Let's not forget that Kohli looked a novice in the same Windies tour in tests. And Abhinav who scored a century in tour match in Emgland deserved a chance over Raina/AtG/Viru but we wasted that as well. Only M Vijay got adequate opportunities from TN.

Plum, in an ideal world it shouldn't but with sponsors who look for visibility and with selectors who look at recent odi form/sparkling knock this trend is here to stay hence Mukund/Pujara/Rahane have to be competent in odis to be in reckoning for test selection..I would say Vijay was the first causality in this regard..he was doing a fine job as a backup opener until Cheeka let him open in Odis/T20s there by messing up his test game. If only the selectors wake up to the reality that only few batsman have that gift to play all forms of the game and switch gears nonchalantly.

Softy,
Agreed on every word of yours but me posting that is for a different reason. Go through the article. He has mentioned that they lost the previous match because of poor bowling and not because of India's batting. This he speaks after getting blasted inside 37 overs. And even between the 2 teams, India has a better record in this series and that is why we are still in contention. I am pretty happy that, in spite of being the tosses going against us and we chasing in every match, we've put up a good fight.

how many peeps agree with thisAnd in the search for new cricket heroes, now that the older ones have fallen by the wayside, we have suddenly elevated a Virat Kohli as vice-captain of the Indian team — on the basis of one good tour, and one stand-out One-Day innings. Virat may have the gumption and the bravado to show the finger to his opponents and even the public, but he is still an untested quantity in terms of sustained excellence.
This is not to say Kohli should not be vice-captain, or that he may not become a great vice-captain and be a good understudy to Dhoni in One-Dayers. But making him heir-apparent on the shifting foundations of public opinion says nothing about the validity of our strategy. Assuming we have a strategy that goes beyond making money from the game.
What is the Kohli elevation all about?
Is it about grooming a new, young team for the future? Is it about punishing Sehwag for daring to differ with Dhoni, or is it about rewarding someone who did well on one tour?

Wiz - for all his flaws, I think Gambhir has done nothing to lose the VC. I agree that Sponsors need new heroes and that is behind Virat's canonization in media. I wouldn't be surprised if P Vijayakumars and Sabyasachi Mukherjees are being paid to write "good" articles on Virat by his sponsores. (Don't search - I just quoted imaginary names for journalists). Some heroes are born(Sach), some are made into heroes by situations(RSD etc) some are thrust into hero image(Virat)

Softie well said. No offence but our own venkki is a barometer of the ghajini indian cricket fan - batsman scores streaky hundred, gets well done post fro$ venkki; next series he fails, gets condemnation from our venkkiram; one eye catching knock becomes well deserved captaincy etc. Our selectors are pandering to exactly this "popular" perception. Even if it is the right decision, it has been arrived at the wrong manner.

SS, that TFIC..Sach got the job in platter but he was in no mood to skipper the side so he put in some good words for Dhoni which in hindsight inadvertently turned to be a masterstroke.
ATG raffled some feathers in BCCI by playing with the injury in IPL there by jeopardizing the Windies tour+ganging up against seniors+non-performance in tests so this was long time coming.

Sri Lanka deserve to be in CB series finals: Team India
finding positives in the hour of distressCall it sixth sense or whatever, the Indian team spent their last two days relaxing and unwinding. They stayed away from practice probably because they felt people would laugh at them if they didn't make the finals.
"A team which knocks down Australia three times on the trot has to be in the final," said another Indian player. "On the positive side, we will get to spend a few days at home before going to Bangladesh for the Asia Cup. We have been away for almost three months and were feeling a bit homesick," he added. all hail the prince

reiterating my point:
1. kohli is very good and for sure he is part of the core of indian cricket in all formats
2. he deserves the VC but only that the timing is a 'pinch' early
3. GG is stupid but in the series he did above average
4. my only problem is 'ivanta pudinga avanta kudutthadhu' - the manner in which it is done seems to be hasty. innum smooth'a handle pannirukkalaam as GG is still part of the side and it would only demotivate him(agree on the check for him but..)
5. at times such things happen in indian cricket and its not something to be really concerned about - can move on with this - all is well
6. plis close the thread before the finals start to avoid unnecessary fights in the thread for supporting/not supporting SL, let the discussion abt the series happen in CB series thread
7. Asia Cup thread enga???

Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar failed to impress on Australian tour
Plum alert: The Oracle has spoken..pity that Chappelli had to wait till the end of the tour to come out with a yet another mirror quote
When a player of Tendulkar's ability starts blaming other people for his failure to deliver, it's time he looked in the mirror and asked himself: "Am I playing this game for the right reason?"
There's only one reason to play cricket; to help your team win matches.

AUS did exactly what I wished for. To win/challenge SL team, 300+ is the safe target AUS should set! And they did it with the help of warner! If such things happen in next match also, AUS can win this series! Against IND, 250+ target is enough for AUS. But against SL, it will not be enough!

ATG need not feel left out: Rahul Dravid
The Wall plays with a straight bat
He (Kohli) has had a great tour of Australia. He has done incredibly well in Tests and in the ODIs....the selectors have given him a bit of reward," said Dravid.
"Having said that, Virat is the first to recognise that he has got to establish himself to go another step further. I think we know from the past that by just being the vice-captain you are not going to be the next captain.
"It's a good recognition for his form, I feel people like Gautam shouldn't feel left out from the team. But at the moment Dhoni is doing a good job, so you don't need to look anywhere else,"

24.4 S Watson to T Dilshan, OUT! Or no? Well, drama there. Length delivery outside off, Dilshan goes for the cut but misses. There is a huge noise as the ball passes bat and Wade takes it brilliantly standing up to the stumps. The keeper and bowler celebrate but umpire Rauf is unmoved. Hot Spot detects a thick outside edge. Boy, that is a lucky break. Watson is not doing any favours on himself by literally abusing the umpire. Rauf made a note of that, for sure. Watto might be in trouble here.

Chris Broad is touted as 'rogue referee' for a reason and with Barbie getting away with anything in the name of aggression yam starting to believe what Gavaskar said 2 yrs ago
http://www.espncricinfo.com/rsaveng0...ry/441451.html
another incident of Broad apologizing and escaping the ban
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/cri...od-Tucker.html
To quote Pringlehttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cri...ur-report.htmlBroad, who might have been timed out after taking an age to arrive at the crease, was given not out by umpire Steve Davis but that was overturned by the review, which clearly showed ball striking glove.
That did not stop Broad from lingering at the crease in disbelief when the decision was overturned, and then shaking his head as he slowly dragged himself off the field. If he was miffed at being given out because Smith wasn’t he needs to look at the TV evidence which was unambiguous in his case, but not in the least bit compelling in Smith’s.
It is considered dissent and a violation of ICC’s Code of Conduct for a batsman to shake his head or show any delay in leaving the crease after he has been given out. Broad senior is an ICC match referee and if Roshan Mahanama doesn’t punish junior for Sunday’s appalling behaviour, then his father should take the appropriate paternal action.
Someone needs to ensure Broad complements his obvious talents for batting and bowling with a dose of humility. In a recent interview, he said he didn’t want to be popular only successful. But the feistiness with which he proudly infuses his cricket is spilling over into obnoxiousness, and even world-beaters – something Broad plainly isn’t except in his own mind – cannot get away with that.
It is also a Code of Conduct violation for any player or coach to publicly criticise a match official, something Andy Flower, England’s team director, did when he complained about Daryl Harper and his role as third umpire in Smith’s alleged edge on Friday evening. Flower is a sound man but his normal good sense deserted him on that occasion.
cricket is the only sport which still has to put with this kind of nepotism w.r.t arbitrating

"Test cricket for a lot of, not only India, a lot of subcontinent teams, I think it's pretty tough. And the challenge for Test cricket is, without the sort of grounding that we [Australians] had as kids, Test cricket is too hard. It's very demanding mentally, physically and emotionally.""The culture of India is such that, if you put your head above the parapet someone will shoot it. Knock your head off. So they learn to keep their head down and not take responsibility. The Poms (British) taught them really well to keep their head down. For if someone was deemed to be responsible, they'd get punished. So the Indians have learned to avoid responsibility. So before taking responsibility for any decisions, they prefer not to."Look, Dhoni is one of the most impressive young men that I have ever worked with. When he came into that Indian team, you just knew that he was a leader in the making. He was definitely someone who could make decisions, and he didn't mind putting his head above the parapet, and didn't mind putting the bigger players in their place. I think he is the best thing to have happened to Indian cricket in recent times.Plum, foam is there in mouthsu. Please to wipe and read.(Dhoni is) Very confident, very un-Indian in that regard.

'Indians weren't really interested in Test cricket' - Greg Chappell

Series/Tournaments: India tour of Australia
Teams: Australia | India
Greg Chappell, India's former coach, has said that India "weren't really interested in Test cricket" on their tour to Australia, and that "Test cricket is pretty tough for them". Chappell was speaking at a promotional event for his book, Fierce Focus, at Adelaide Writers Week. It was an interaction full of endearing anecdotes about his playing days until a member of the audience - which might have been close to 200-strong - asked him about India's apparent disinterest in Test cricket, and how it might adversely affect Test cricket overall, considering how the BCCI controls cricket today.
"It was obvious from the start of the tour that the Indians weren't really interested in Test cricket," Chappell said. "After the Australians showed that they were going to be a formidable foe, I was very disappointed with the Indians. And having worked with many of them and having been in the dressing room with them, Test cricket was too hard for most of them. They can only make a lot of money playing 20-over cricket. Fifty-over cricket they can sort of put up with.
"Test cricket for a lot of, not only India, a lot of subcontinent teams, I think it's pretty tough. And the challenge for Test cricket is, without the sort of grounding that we [Australians] had as kids, Test cricket is too hard. It's very demanding mentally, physically and emotionally."
Malcolm Knox, Chappell's co-writer, then brought the discussion back to the book, and pointed out how Chappell had marked out Virender Sehwag's fitness and attitude and Zaheer Khan's fitness as key issues for India. "You can throw in attitude for Zaheer as well," Chappell interjected.
Chappell then spoke about what was wrong with the Indian culture. "The culture is very different, it's not a team culture," Chappell said. "They lack leaders in the team because they are not trained to be leaders. From an early age, their parents make all the decisions, their schoolteachers make their decisions, their cricket coaches make the decisions.
"The culture of India is such that, if you put your head above the parapet someone will shoot it. Knock your head off. So they learn to keep their head down and not take responsibility. The Poms (British) taught them really well to keep their head down. For if someone was deemed to be responsible, they'd get punished. So the Indians have learned to avoid responsibility. So before taking responsibility for any decisions, they prefer not to."

Greg Chappell
Chappell said MS Dhoni the Indian captain, was one exception to that rule, but even he seems to have lost to the system. When asked if any Indian captain, when on 329 not out himself, would have declared the innings, Chappell said: "If MS Dhoni would have ever got to 329 in a Test match, he probably would. Look, Dhoni is one of the most impressive young men that I have ever worked with. When he came into that Indian team, you just knew that he was a leader in the making. He was definitely someone who could make decisions, and he didn't mind putting his head above the parapet, and didn't mind putting the bigger players in their place. I think he is the best thing to have happened to Indian cricket in recent times.
"But looking at him on this tour - I didn't meet or speak to him at all - but just watching the body language and just watching him on the field, it wasn't the MS Dhoni that I knew. I think Indian cricket has worn him down as well. Especially captaining all three formats, and India plays about 50% more cricket than Australia does. And Dhoni played four years, captaining three years while being wicketkeeper and their key batman - one of the best chasers of a target that I've ever seen. Very confident, very un-Indian in that regard. There was no false modesty about him. If he thought he could do something, he would take responsibility and say 'I can do that.'"
Chappell also felt Sehwag's captaincy ambition hurt the Indian team. "Sehwag thought he should be captain after [Anil] Kumble, so there is a bit of a collision there," he said. "I think Dhoni is getting to a point where Test cricket is getting too hard for him, and the undercurrent around the dressing room cannot help."
Chappell said that Test cricket needed a strong India. "I think Australia and England will always look at Test cricket and try and preserve it," Chappell said. "South Africa to a lesser degree. Up until this summer I thought India as well. We probably had four major Test-playing countries, and the others would play Test cricket spasmodically.
"Because firstly most countries haven't got the critical mass of players to develop Test cricketers and most of them don't have the money. Cricket Australia probably spends in excess of 20 million dollars a year in development programmes, which includes first-class cricket - huge investment to develop a Test team. I am not sure many other countries have the will to do that. If the financial circumstances change for Australian cricket, it will be very tough for Australian cricket too.
"If of the three formats, one of them is under pressure, it's Test cricket. In ten years' time, it might look very different from the way it looks today. And for those who have grown up with Test cricket and hold it in high stead, we are going to probably be a little bit disappointed with the way it goes in the next few years."

Dravid retiring now puts Tendulkar and Laxman under the microscope. The last(est) date I see for both of these champs is at the end of Aus Tour next year (Feb/Mar 13)(after Eng/Ind tour). Could hang down the boots with a win at home. I was thinking the same for Dravid until this announcement today. Now everything could be preponed.

Test cricket is already Dead in India. Look no further than the empty stands over the last 3-4 years. A downfall of historic proportions from the 90's and early 2000 crowds. People who have watched the sport historically will also let down their guards if we maintain our 0-8 standards.
Our public is very much interested in the shorter formats. Test cricket in India will suffer another stroke once Sachin retires. Unless we discover another bradman/lara/tendulkar test cricket cannot be saved in India.

The last test (in India) i saw some crowd was Chennai 2008 when we chased 387 against Eng. Even in Mohali when we won the 1st test there was quite a sparse crowd. Compare this to T-20 and ODI Fixtures and the 1000's that throng in stadiums.

Ganguly is afraid to make decisions? He is afraid to take responsibility? Of course, he had other attitude issues, but Chappell is blabbering when he saying we don't have leaders.
Anil Kumble?
What is this 'natural leader' thing about Dhoni? I just don't get it.
He won. Everybody liked him, wrote management-case studies (Leader as a first among equals) about him; he flopped now everyone wants his head and they write management case-studies (Need to adapt in a changing world).
His cultural extrapolations, generalizations are too broad-stroke-y to be taken too seriously.
And finally, if we have to be like Australians to win then I'd rather we don't win. Perhaps I am an example of insufficient fire in the belly

Top of the charts in the Test and T20 ranking. And only a shade below the top 3 in ODIs.
If some sort of weighted average were to be taken England will top the charts.

Plum,
Might be unscientific but I think he has a point.Am not getting into his take on Indian Cricket because he himself has an axe to grind.
I am with him simply because my work requires me to interact closely with decision makers esp at the Village,district level.Have seen first hand the obstinate attitude to retain status quo,the inability to stick the head out and make decisions which is for good but might get controversial.Infact DC's(collector's)call up mentors before taking decisions which are not strictly according to the rule book-play safe attitude highly at play there.
In fact is not our Prime minister,a glaring example of this?
I firmly believe we as a nation still have a slavish attitude,work when somebody kicks but otherwise relax and hold on to your seat.If this makes me anti-national or racist,so be it.
Doesn't mean you have to be like the aussies or anybody other and that is something we can differ on but to call his observations,a vicious attack on Indian culture is too much.
