Humour fail.

You have to also consider that boundaries at durban were max 70 meters and side boundaries were like only 65 meters whereas in sain lucia they were 80 metre plus. Jogi did bowl some very good overs at the death in 2007 worldcup

Sure he did. Its easy to bowl a few good overs in t-20 situation sometimes but it is masterful to do it over a long period. At the death, some batsmen can completely lose it and get out and that results in dot balls. One has seen 2-3 wickets fall, in the last over or two, to deliveries that should have gone for big runs if the batsman had not played predetermined shots and this can result in an inexpensive over too. Its as easy to call label a batsman 'God' in T-20 as it is to call a bowler a genius. The format makes for some very remarkable performances from even mediocre players and thats the nature of the format. Its a lottery - to an extent. Over a longer period you will find, as is already happening with batsmen, the better players becoming more and more consistent and the modest ones being found out. There are players whose game is more suited for the shortest version and completely unsuited for the longest but that does not mean those who are of modest ability cant be seen to be such. Joginder Sharma, I beg to state, is one such.

Joginder Sharma was lucky.. thats what it is. India wion the world cup only because Misbah had one ordinary moment. SJS50 is rught when he says that T20 is a game where-in even mediocre players perform miracles on any given day.

Agent Jogi :isalute:

Joginder Sharma is a joke. . . . We have hade a few such jokes them in Indian cricket in the past and some of them have had a role ' date= major or minor, to play in our moments of glory which makes the jokes particularly hilarious to us and so devastatingly cruel to our opponents. An example that springs readily to mind is Kirti Azad in the 1983 World Cup winning campaign.

He had and maybe still has Dhoni's backing. What can we do :((

[achilles]

Actually you have a point. I should try and join in the spirit of these threads and I realise that but you know I have seen so much acrimony between passionate Indians and Pakistanis, particularly cricket fans, that one gets this strong urge to move in cool tempers for there is always the odd poster or two (or half a dozen and more) who does not see the funny side of things and I dread things getting worse with people's emotions on Indo-Pak issues than they already are. For me seeing relations between our two people is a deep seated and abiding passion although as I grow older I am growing more and more despondent about things getting better in my limited lifetime left. Hence the occasional (more than occasional I suppose) intervention of this sort. If there was one issue to which I would gladly devote every day of my remaining life it is this and I say it without a shred of exaggeration. I just cant see the forum where one can contribute and that is a commentary in itself. On these forums, harmless leg-pulling and fun is fine and can actually help cement bonds between people but unfortunately most of us carry massive baggages of the past and the conditioning that goes with it - hence the chances of humour between two people, naturally endowed with a lovely earthy sense of humour and ready wit, turning into rancor that reinforces the conditioning are not to be understated. A visit to the most popular of the sites on the net are enough to show the validity of that argument. My request in this case is- please do not stop yourselves from having fun but it would be even better if it was always accompanied by a clear message that this wasn't being offered as anything more. I am afraid that message does not always come through. That is where the problem lies. It is not difficult to sense when a poster or a group of posters are getting sensitive about an issue. Its not difficult to tne down and "bring them into the joke" as it were. Once you miss that point it is difficult. I think it would be fabulous for Indians and Pakistanis to make fun of Joginder Sharma together or even of the running of a great like Inzy and do it while maintaining the tongue in cheek wit of pretending to be on opposite sides. Thats humour, wit and fun. I am just now in the US attending my nephews wedding celeberations and the other day the girl's side were here for the Mehndi ceremony and I was scathing in my merri-making at the expense of the guests from the bride's side. That is part of the fun of these occasions but I had an eye and an ear out to pick up any signs of our guests taking offense. That is important too. Thats my point. Have fun :winky:

:hatsoff:

[bhanu]

Wow first time hearing this guy he must have average of 20 in test ehh?

[saneindian]

Joginder Sharma has a few things in common with Kapil Dev. He plays for Haryana, can give the ball a mighty thwack and has the surprise factor with his nippy medium pace. Most importantly, he has the convention-defying streak that Kapil displayed everytime he played. Joginder bowls with a mixed action and can trouble the best with his lively seam bowling http://www.cricinfo.com/india/content/player/29976.html Jogi ji :bow:
