Guest prince Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 India have pulled out a win out of nowhere to level the series 1-1, but their task of winning the series has become more difficult with Sachin Tendulkar has become the fourth first-choice player to return to India, joining openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, and fast bowler Praveen Kumar. The nature of the injury or discomfort is not yet known, but MS Dhoni said that "most likely he is going back". This leaves India with just one opener, M Vijay, who is not in the best of form. Dhoni is no alien to such circumstances as India have hardly played cricket with their first-choice XIs over the last two years. "We will have to open with someone," he said. "I don't know what's happening, whether we are getting someone from India [as replacement] or not. The visa will take three days at least, he will take the next flight, and by the time he comes here we will have just one match left. I don't know who will open." Dhoni sounded hopeful that Vijay will find some form. "Vijay is looking a bit out of form, but he's working well in the nets. Form is just a matter of a few strokes. Once you get those few strokes, all of a sudden you feel back in form." These fitness issues have left Dhoni not demanding too much of his fast bowlers either, with the World Cup just around the corner. He said that right now fitness is more important than form, because there aren't too many choices, especially in the fast-bowling department. Injury List: Sehwag Ghambir Praveen Sachin
Sid Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 ***********,WTH is going on with this team,this is getting ridiculous :mad:
Cricketics Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I don't mind. Sachin is the smartest man in cricket rite now, and he knows he is saving his best for world cup. GO back home sachin, where the world cup is waiting for you
gsivak Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Though this is bad for India from the series point of view, it may work out for us because it will now give us the ability to give Pathan or Ashwin some matches before the world cup.
cowboysfan Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 they need to give a guy who is in WC squad a chance,hopefully its karthik.
kabira Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 who will open now. Vijay and Rohit I guess. Pathan at 7.
saneindian Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 OMG what is wrong with our players? Now I am worried about Zaheer too. We better him send him back as well before something happens. On the positive side, now Yusuf will get to play the remaining 3 matches.
fineleg Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I was talking about this before the ODI series. This is a TOUGH test series we've had in SA, and we need to rest SRT, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan (plus Dhoni has been playing non-stop too). This Test series has taken a lot out of the players. Get Dinesh Karthik in to give some rest to MSD as wicket-keeper. Rest Zaheer Khan for the remaining ODIs and maybe a couple of games rest to Bhajji. It is a good idea that SRT is going back home to rest and heal. Otherwise, can we field a full strength 11 for WC2011???
Sachinism Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Vijay already sucks as an opener, so now we'll play him along with a newb :facepalm:
Online Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Otherwise, can we field a full strength 11 for WC2011??? idk but looks like you already are peeing in your pants
Shakthi Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Sachin has Hamstring Injury i m really worried will he be ok for the world cup
cowboysfan Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Sachin has Hamstring Injury i m really worried will he be ok for the world cup phew ,he will be fine in a month.he just needs some practice before the WC and he will be good to go.
fineleg Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 idk but looks like you already are peeing in your pants Though I'm happy that I'm not shi..tt.ing bricks like you :winky:
saneindian Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Sachin has Hamstring Injury i m really worried will he be ok for the world cup Oh Bhai, WC shuru hone mein 40 din baki hain, Sach will be absolutely fine and totaly refreshed and recharged.
yoda Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Dhoni sounded hopeful that Vijay will find some form. "Vijay is looking a bit out of form, but he's working well in the nets. Form is just a matter of a few strokes. Once you get those few strokes, all of a sudden you feel back in form." that should make a few people happy :hysterical:
Jersey #10 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 If I were the media, I would be very happy 1. He is just scared of the Saffie bowlers 2. He is hitting his lows again and is way out of form 3. He was dropped by Dhoni add on if you care
cowboysfan Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 that should make a few people happy :hysterical: dhoni doesnt put down him teammates except Sreeshanth.
