saneindian Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Agree with the article. The ranking system is flawed if a team can become # 1 after losing series in Pak' date='SL,Aus & SA.[/quote'] When we become officially the no 1 test side in the world (likely to happen either on Saturday or on Sunday), will they declare a week of matam in your country?
Dinx - the Jinx Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 How much would you love to see any openers from India to play for Pak ? Heck our back up opener scored half the runs your entire team managed to score at a good strike rate :) :adore::adore::adore::adore::adore::adore:
bunny Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 The article has a small interesting section on LHB. Left handed batsman have it so much easier it's unbelievable. I've always been saying that the selectors should try to unearth LHB to replace SRT, RD, VVS whenever they retire.
cowboysfan Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 lefties have a natural advantage in that most bowlers are righties.We also doimnate in other sports:--D
Indianfan_Hyd Posted December 3, 2009 Author Posted December 3, 2009 The author of the article somehow intends to covey that since we are a nation of dirty T20 lovers we shdnt be ranked no.1 in tests. The honour belongs only to Aus/ Sa or the perennial losers England who only seem to be playing against the Aussies.
jusarrived Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 amazing how he never mentions how we trashed Aus at home ....iby that logic , if India are not deserving cos we lost away series in Aus and SA ...Aus lost away to India , home to SA and away to England .....SA lost home to Aus , only drew away to India
King Tendulkar Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 This times paper is same paper were ATHERTON is lead cricket writer. They are leading the anti India cricket crusade. But problem is we keep winning:hysterical: The writer Wilde also write anti india piece a week ago. The jelously is fabulous to see. We have the money and the team. Suck it up!
King Tendulkar Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 When foreign players used to get signed up for county cricket for decades and spent whole seasons getting tired slogging their guts out for counties, these guys never moaned. Now the plkayers go to India they suddenly waffle about tiredness blah blah. Suck it up guys, India is the dominant force in all aspects of world cricket wether you like it or not
afridi6666 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 i dont know why people are bringing pak into this, article by oscar wilde, doesnt sound like a pak but gora people dont like to see non-gora top at anything, also maybe because that by the end of this series the teams would have aggergate score of 4/5k, pitches and all that stuff
Indianfan_Hyd Posted December 3, 2009 Author Posted December 3, 2009 I hope modi completely sucks up these English Cricketers into IPL leading to fatigue, injuries, early retirements to play IPL etc etc... Atherton/Wilde will write these anti-India articles till England looses the next Ashes. Till then its party time for these guys.
Gambit Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 If England were anywhere near the #1 ranking, the author would have anointed Flintoff as King of the world and KP as Jesus Christ.
Indianfan_Hyd Posted December 3, 2009 Author Posted December 3, 2009 i dont know why people are bringing pak into this, article by oscar wilde, doesnt sound like a pak by the end of this series the teams would have aggergate score of 4/5k, pitches and all that stuff What is this..???
afridi6666 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 What is this..??? add up all the runs dude, in the 3 matches that have been played for both sides
Sachinism Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 ^^ One flat wicket and one which had a match end in 4 days. Now another one which is likely to have a result and all you can do is hint at flat tracks? Bring on the hate!
King Tendulkar Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 If England were anywhere near the #1 ranking' date=' the author would have anointed Flintoff as King of the world and KP as Jesus Christ.[/quote'] So true. If I see one more reference to their 2005 ashes win:wall:
Guest Hiten. Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 So true. If I see one more reference to their 2005 ashes win:wall: What about their 09 Ashes win :desiwoman:
afridi6666 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 So true. If I see one more reference to their 2005 ashes win:wall: england won the 2005 ashes-:first ive heard of that :punter: sachinism your clutching at straws, i havent seen any of the matches so i dont know if they are flat decks just saying from a cricinfo scorecard POV there has been ALOT of runs
Mamu Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Unlike most here, I actually do agree with the article here to a large extent (if not full). All things fair -- RSA would be number 1 and India/Aus a close 2nd (as per me).
zubinpepsi Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 ^^ care to explain why u think RSA should be no.1?
