akshayxyz Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Can the players not n WI be asked to reach England a week before rest of the team joins them from WI? Sachin, GG, Viru, Zak, Yuvi, Sree, Saha could do with an additional week of acclamatisation in England and the net practice there instead of nets in India. Guru Duncan can use his contacts there to ensure our boys get some good facilities there. Could help dust off some of the rust and get back into shape for the first test. You can count on Sachin to come more prepared than anyone else. And perhaps Zak, GG & Yuvi too.
King Tendulkar Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Bring it on England!!! Just bring it on!!!!!
King Tendulkar Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Time to shut up england. Lets see what you can do now the world champs and number 1 test team is in town
King Tendulkar Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I am hyperventilating here and foaming on the mouth

don_corleone840 Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 IPL curse finally falling on us !! Its looks like our players are looking extremely tired.We are hardly showing any intent on field AND NOW its looks like zaheer is coming back to india .Pardon me if i ever supported IPL .But after today i despise IPL.BCCI should either stop it or should shorten it. IPL :finger::finger::finger:
deepak_sach Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Zaheer Khan Missed the Entire Windies tour....... Thats nearly 1.5 months. If you want leave then dont play for India. If you are employed and come back after a break and say you are fatigued,you will be fired.
Ultimate_Game Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 TBH it has been going on for quite a while now. Sehwag has missed out on Champions Trophy (IIRC 2009) and the two T20 cups in 2009 and 2010 due to shoulder injuries he picked in IPL. Zaheer had to be off for a few months again due to shoulder injury picked in IPL.
SachDan Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Zaheer played his last IPL match almost two months ago and people are still blaming IPL for his lack of fitness lol

singhprakash72 Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 BLAME BCCI greed ...IPL is not evil but its implementation is totally focused on making big $$$$$.for starters IPL season can be shorter,well scheduled,monitor players fitness going into IPL and lastly player rotation policy (Vulnerable players like Sehwag can skip alternate season)...but like I said if BCCI shows GREED, you can not blame players if they want to make quick $$$$ ...LONG LIVE 20/20 CIRCUS !!!
Crookbond Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Both Gambhir and Sehwag carried injuries BEFORE the IPL. It was aggravated in the IPL. Therefore, players should be blamed not IPL.
Ultimate_Game Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Both Gambhir and Sehwag carried injuries BEFORE the IPL. It was aggravated in the IPL. Therefore' date= players should be blamed not IPL. You can't blame players for looking after their financial well being. Also, IPL is backed by BCCI and there is undue pressure on players like Sehwag, Gambhir, Zaheer etc. to play in the league. BCCI as the governing body should be the one to manage the schedule, player workload and injries to the players (at least the contracted ones). After all will you walk away from a 2 million dollar contract for 2 months? I wouldn't and neither would majority of players. Now if BCCI had a plan in pace, let's say have a mandatory physical check-up of contracted players before IPL kicks off and players who aren't fit or need to recuperate are guaranteed their contract money by BCCI and asked not to play. I am sure players wouldn't in such a scenario and the amount of money at stake for BCCI would still be peanuts. To me it's an administration oversight by BCCI at best or pure greed at worst but in either case you can't blame the players.
