deathmonger Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Dont agree with your points regarding huge sample size as well. He has played just 19 tests and 17 tests in Australia and England respectively. Performance in 4 tests would alter the figures significantly. if he avgs something like 5 or 6 but he isn't. he's avging 30+. his final avg in aus will be 50+ Link to comment
Ponka Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Good post. But remember that Ian Healy never got a farewell. It affected him so much he now spews inane **** for a living (aka he's a channel 9 commentator) These are the risks you take. Doesn't matter the commentary but at least in the team they dont deserve a place. Link to comment
chainsmoker1985 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Dhoni anyways is going 2 be rested coz he has just been banned from the Adelaide test for slow over rate Link to comment
India-KXIP fan Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I personally want 1. Gambhir© 2.Rahane 3.RD 4.SRT 5. Kohli 6. Rohit 7. Saha 8. Ashwin 9. Ojha 10. ZAK 11. Umesh But most likely Sehwag will be captain and Rahane will miss out while Rohit will have to wait as VVS will remain in the XI. Ishant will also keep his place instead of Ojha probably. Only change will be Saha. Link to comment
Needforspeed Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hope they get VVS out and play Rohit. Dhoni is gone by default. Sehwag will play as he is the captain Link to comment
chainsmoker1985 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 My team for Adelaide test would be- Sehwag, Gambhir, Rahul, Rohit, Virat, Rahane, Saha, Ashwin, Zaheer or Mithun, Ishant, Umesh Rest Sachin in this dead useless match. VVS does not deserve a place any more(Saurav01 I told you, remember). We can also rest Zaheer for Mithun. Zaheer needs rest otherwise he can break down Link to comment

Are you OK with resting Zak and VVS from the next test. To be precise, Zak to be rested and VVS to be dropped Link to comment

BERGKAMP Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 my team would be rahane gambhir rohit tendulkar kohli sehwag saha ashwin ojha zaheer umesh we need to form a new middle order and get them settling in asap, dravid and lax will have to be the sacrificial lambs. Link to comment

Texan Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Gambhir Rahane Dravid Rohit (yes, give him a chance to bat at the number 4 position) Tendulkar Kohli Ashwin (yes, above Saha in the batting order) Saha Zaheer Ojha Umesh Link to comment
Pagalpanti Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 ^Tendulkar will never move from his no.4 position. Link to comment
Needforspeed Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 ^Tendulkar will never move from his no.4 position. +1. Never happens in India. Senior vacating his position for junior willingly. Link to comment
DhoniAdorer Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Reason for overseas defeat - Media, Media and Media I know we discussed at length but I feel the primary reasons for the defeat is our sycophants media who always project mountain out of molehill with our legends. We, the fan got carried away with the news and engage equally with media in adulating our so called legends. It's the media that should be banned from cricketing news , then we, as cricket should improve. I hate our media, media, media.... I can provide 100s of examples how media ruined our cricketers with false fame and cheap flattery. Its not our captain, batsman or anyone.. Share your thoughts. Link to comment
Old guy Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 media is part of today's game..u cant handle it then u urself are to blame.. Link to comment
DhoniAdorer Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 yeah, you can blame us, the core pathetic fans. You can't brush aside media influence on our society, culture and our way of living. We believe what we hear and see. I'm sure you or me neither are exceptions to it. Had n't media set the expectations, we did n't go through this emotional melodrama. Do we really care or boil our blood when we don't win any olympic medals? No, media does n't care what's happening out there and put in the olympic news in 1 or 2 paragrahs buried somewhere inside that you can't even see.. Link to comment
