[BacktoCricaddict]

Has he irritated Marshneil so much that she won't let him retire and stay home?

Sundar has been showing improvement with the ball.

Infact he has taken 24 wkts in 7 games..out of which 19 has come in last 3 Tests only.

 

 

Yeah, one good series.

 

He might do well in India but will never be Ashwin level, he is a batting Allrounder.

Let's hope that he improves.

 

Off spin cupboard is bare...there is one 19 year old punjab spinner apart from Pulkit Narang & Saransh..both are avg at best.

 

Left arm spin bowlers are in abundance, leg spin also we have options.

Thala singh Tony left captaincy midway if I'm not wrong

Man this made me chuckle 

[Vilander]

He might have known that he is surely not playing and did not want to linger on for a month and thought it was better spent with his family back home. It makes sense, not feeding the media that much more of Ashwin has declined and still

Holding on nonsense. Mumbaikars like Gavaskar don’t know the thing of leaving on high.

Gavaskar is one of those rare Indian players who left on high.You can say lot of things about Gavaskar but hanging on for too long cannot be one of them.

Absolutely Gavaskar left on a high as a player when he was "the" batsman in 1987.

 

Gavaskar as a commentator..... now that is a different story.

People commentating in their 70s is the issue.....

 

My own father was not the same man after age 65 that he was at 45. Nor my uncles. You can see the decline, change, whatever in people's behavior  as they age.

 

I actually think that the retirement age for jobs of 58-59-60 in India is quite apt. After that age major changes happen in humans.

 

Is it possible to forcibly retire Harsha Bhogle?

if he is non-living, then yes, it would count as a retirement. I think Boggles (Bhogle) will comment until he passes away

But no issues with Rohit's dismissal, or that of Kogli's

[First class]

His criticism of Pant is justified , Pant should bat at #7 and ready should come ahead of him at #6 

[NameGoesHere]

That was something if you see it.

What struck me was this line by Sunny:

 

"He should not be going into [the India] dressing room, he should be going into the other dressing room."

 

That goes from criticism to a childish outburst, a tirade.  

sunny has always been childish; was this way even as player - see feud vs kapil (both were bratty)

That takes what he said from justifiable criticism to a childish outburst, a tirade.   Hence its place on this thread

Yea but you can't say he faked it when you can see his face. It may be wrong but it's sincere.

it's sincere, and so is the sincere lack of outrage despite repeated failures by ro-ko

Standards should be same for everyone....else the judgement can be classified as biased. As in this case.
