singhprakash72 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 It will needed a lot more sustained level of hard work on Ball tampering, bribing, forgery, infighting and betting scandals to get to Pakistan's level. Not sure India team has that talent or will to do that.
Cricketics Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Yaar chill man come on. It's been ages since India have looked in trouble to lose a series after first 2 tests. First time under Dhoni this. Just wait for few more games before you dish these things out.
Temujin Khaghan Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 lol well done... another successful self jinxing
singhprakash72 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Well at least he got India past 100...Cheer up guys, it can't get worse than this.
zen Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 This is embarrassing - no fight shown, gave advantage away on two occasions (Eng 120 odd/8 and Ind 230 odd/4) New X1 for 4th test, if the same story continues in the 3rd test - GG - Sehwag - Kohli - Rohit - Pujara (if fit) - Yuvi/Raina - Karthik - Ashwin / Ojha - Sree - Ishant - Yadav / Aroon :P
Sachinism Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Where do we go from here? 2 massive losses, we haven't been up to it, England have been a lot more intense and look like they want it a lot more. A lot of our players look jaded and some just not bothered. We now have a break with a tour game. Forgetting long term goals like fitness, etc. What do we need to do before the next test

cameron_black Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Bring in Mishra, keep Harbhajan as a specialist bat the way he has batted in this series, he seems way above some of the so called specialist batsmen. so i think that's the best option. maybe get rid of mukund.
Sid Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 1) We need specialist openers,Dravid at no.3 and Laxman at no.5 . Dont know why they havent called any back up batsmen or opener as yet.Raina and UV both look ordinary in these conditions but I will go with Raina. 2) We need fit 4 bowlers . 3) Captain somehow needs to contribute in the side ,dont know how it will happen though,looks completely low in confidence Though still think it will be very difficult to get 20 English wickets.
King Tendulkar Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 The irony is. Foreign bodies think BCCI is damaging world cricket. What they dont realise is that they do nothing to damage world cricket, only stuff to dmage indian team
King Tendulkar Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Comeon KT At The End Of The Day Its Just A Game . Dont Get That Extreme. You Have Good Days And You Have Bad Days Thats How It Is . Dont agree. I am now not angry but lifeless full of no energy.
Cricketics Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 10 days of cricket left in this series. For India it's 13. We can really bounce back. It's not given that England will win series or eithre of the two test matches will be a Draw. We are as good as England rite now if not better as a team I am saying. There bowling might edge our bowling but as a team we are as good as them. We have good rest in between this game. And a 3 day game in between. Ideal time to regroup as everyone has been saying. It really is. They can look and think what went wrong and bring on a good fighting team 11 in the 3rd test to make it 2-1. I hope we bat first actually in next game. It's good to score 350-400+ batting first than scoring 2nd time. Since our bowling looks a bit down and out. I think really Sehwag+Gambhir up the order would really help us. Mukund hasn't realy done well and anyways was playing a "fill in" right from the start when he was selected for the tour. If Zaheer also comes back. I think that would have been the best thing happend for us.
ludhianvi Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Northampton and then Birmingham :regular_smile:
Kookabura Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Yeah, Cricketics --- Make them watch Lagaan a dozen times. Maybe that'll help.
