goose Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 I don't think we're being too harsh on Zaheer. His talent is of zero use if he is not fit. To acquire a belly that large must have taken some serious neglect. If you're not training, lifting, sprinting, stretching, eating well on a regular basis injuries will happen.
Septimius Severus Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Problems exist within a leaderless camp. Jumbo and Lord Saurov would NEVER allow this to happen if they were skipper.
koolkarts Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 FURTHER UPDATE ON ZAK'S FITNESS: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12040_7085207,00.html India will make a decision on Zak tomorrow.
Sid Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 "Giving Zaheer Khan a few overs was always the plan, the reason he did not bowl more was not because of any problem with his hamstring," Chaudhry said. :WTF:
koolkarts Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 To be honest, if it was only a strain he should still play. He's had over 2 weeks off cricket, with some of the best physios in the world, I reckon he's just playing it extra safe. Think of it this way... if the selectors had any doubt regarding his fitness they would have sidelined him immediately, and wouldn't have risked him for the next test, saving him for the ODIs instead. I've got a feeling he'll be fine, but then again, you can never secondguess the BCCI, right? haha
koolkarts Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 sorry man, but i'm really tempted to say shut up. i know you're trying to boost everyones morale, but I really think it is time for the fans to go quiet and the players to prove a point now. no offence intended at all, i'm at an all time low with my cricket too :(
Trichromatic Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 :WTF: That statement is weird. What kind of plan is that?
Stuge Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 ganesh aaagar har gaye naa ... tuo tu nahin bachega is jinxing ke liye . Seem like ganesh is betting on England ,thats why he has purposely created this thread to jixn Indian team :mad:
Andy Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 If Ganesh gets this right, I'll stop taking digs at Chelsea :finger: P.S : If not then : :giggle:
The Realist Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 That statement is weird. What kind of plan is that? Its no plan. Whole point of a practice game is to test out fitness levels. If Khan can only manage 3 overs send him home. I mean just 3 overs WTF? This episode and the whole tour shows that it is time to move on and start with the process of rejuvenating this ageing team. It has to start now. There's no way Khan is going to be able to handle the hard big pitches of Aus - will break down sooner rather than later. Let the rebuilding begin.
The Realist Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Its the beginning of the end. Its clear now that this team's cycle now ended at the WC, it was not the start of a new era. Things may get much worse before they start to get better.
Pagalpanti Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Or look at it this way, 2007 world cup failure was a blessing in disguise for us. This might be the same too, board is too concerned with IPL and money issues right now, this might probably make them re-think about the schedule and make players accountable for their fitness.
Pagalpanti Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 If we do lol, it'll be nothing short of an upset.
