Chaos Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Damn i will have Sehwag anyday instead of pathetic Jaffer. What is he doing now? Link to comment
Predator_05 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Yeah, drop pathetic Jaffer after he top scored in the first innings. FICKLE Link to comment
novpj Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 The problem with our team is we have too many batsmen with great past performance and reputation but too few real performers. For the tests, I would take the workman like approach of Jaffer and Karthick over Sehwag's flash any day. Actually, the issue in this test match has been that our middle order has been exposed (as it was in the world cup). Yuvraj for Dhoni definitely makes sense. Link to comment

Predator_05 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Says the man who wants Karthik dropped for Sehwag/Gambhir. When did i say Karthik should be dropped ? I just said he is better off playing as a middle or lower order batsman Link to comment
Chaos Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 Says the man who wants Karthik dropped for Sehwag/Gambhir. haha u owned predator there. Some guys dont understand, that this jaffer idiot is soo dumb that he will only get out when the ball is on ur pads like that. Sehwag is a PROVEN player and we his agression. He is been thru a lean patch, but he puts the opposition right back once he is back in form Link to comment

SightForTheGods Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Not 100% sure about Sehwag but drop JAFFER...yes, i know he scored 58 or something the first inning but he is not showing consistency Link to comment
kabira Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Karthik has played lot of common sense cricket..Lot of singles and twos. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Call me out on this when the series is over. No need. He has already scored more runs than Sehwag did in his own country against England, discounting the pressure free 70 odd chasing 140 odd. Link to comment
Dhondy Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 No need. He has already scored more runs than Sehwag did in his own country against England' date=' discounting the pressure free 70 odd chasing 140 odd.[/quote'] Pressure free, eh? Shall I recount for you a few occasions when India failed to chase down totals even less than 140? Link to comment

Give me a break. So i guess, by the same token - Karthik's 50 is "pressure free" as well, isn't it ? Target of 370 - no Indian team in England has ever chased that down, 4th innings, three other batsmen back in the hut. Where is the pressure when he has nothing to lose ? Link to comment

I can't recall a single time we couldn't chase 140 at home in my days of watching cricket. Link to comment
kabira Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 155 in chennai..won just by 2 wickets.... if sehwag had failed we still would have won, but by 3-4 wickets.. Link to comment

Target of 370 - no Indian team in England has ever chased that down, 4th innings, three other batsmen back in the hut. Where is the pressure when he has nothing to lose ? There is a test match to save here at Lords where we have won once in 14-15 attempts. Not trying to chase down some Mickey Mouse target at home. But let me stick my neck out further and say that by the time this test match is over Karthik would have scored more runs than Sehwag did in the entire series at home against England. Link to comment
Dhondy Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I didn't specify wins at home, now, did I? Link to comment
