Cricketics Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 'tics' date=' when was the last time India lost 0-4 or 0-5[/quote'] i KNOW MAN. This is first time in ages. but why should i say this is end to cricket. I have seen enough man. I would never say that. I understand where you coming from, but it's just my attitude this. Everyone see it differently I guess.
Yoda-esque Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Speechless. Never felt like this before...although I expected them to lose today, was pleasantly surprised that they went wicket less in first session.. Well Lets see if they can come back strongly. Key thing is that this should be one off hopefully where things just did not go right, injuries, lack of form, etc.. Someone has to have a vision again..like they had to win the WC Its good we lost 4-0.Gets rid of the dead wood. Hoping to see some fresh talent break in now.
vvvslaxman Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 But, we can't say it has died. what right we have to say that. We got thrashed. YES. for the first time in many years. YEs. But that means we will never pick it up again??? I am disappointed too man. It's hurting. I can tell you RITW NOW, I have watched more matches than any of you. I am not being arrogant here. PHACK. WE LOST 4-0. Died doesn't mean.. literally. Figuratively it died. It is not like we are going to stop playing cricket. They treated us like we treat a team like Namibia in Test matches. We played like an associate side.
Guest Gunner Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 4-0 was way back in 1992.. we managed to draw one test. In one test we might have even won but for umpires. We lost by 38 runs at Adelaide i think. That series was just as bad, sheer impotence with batting and pathetic bowling. I think that was our worst beating in the last 20 years before this one.
Aaku Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Ab I cant wear my Indian jersey to college for monthzz :((
Misu243 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Indian players need to get on the treadmill and start lifting weights...this is a start...and Duncan Fletcher the clown isn't helping..bring back Gary!
Jersey #10 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 4-0 was way back in 1992.. we managed to draw one test. In one test we might have even won but for umpires. We lost by 38 runs at Adelaide i think. This one is worse! we were beaten by an innings + runs twice.
zep1706 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Things will be back to normal once they get to play on flat pitches in India, there will be draws draws and more draws, coz we don't even have a half decent spinner now. Last 2 months have been really tough for an Indian fan, first they threw away a test win in WI without even trying and now the worst humiliation I have witnessed. :(( :((
Jersey #10 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Ab I cant wear my Indian jersey to college for monthzz :(( I finally got some money in hand and an Indian jersey was on my bucket list which I just crossed out.
Jersey #10 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Tics, how can you be so positive all the time? what's the secret?
Cricketics Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Ab I cant wear my Indian jersey to college for monthzz :(( Who's going to mock you if you wear Indian jersey in India? Not that a certain section of country is covered by Brits or Pak.
Fontaine Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 It's not the death of Indian cricket by any means. But hopefully it'll be the death of idiotic selection policy that gave us unfit Sree/RP/Zaheer/Sehwag and clown like scheduling with zero preperation.
Aaku Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Who's going to mock you if you wear Indian jersey in India? Not that a certain section of country is covered by Brits or Pak. Many stupid urban Indians :((
Sachinism Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Bah.. Very bad series. Hopefully eyes will open up to the problems and solutions will be thought up.
Jersey #10 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 humiliation! I wouldn't be able to show my face if I was part of that team. humiliation to say the least
Misu243 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 And Indian cricket ain't DEAD...Ajinkya Rahane, Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara, Abhinav Mukund will provide firepower to our batting line up. It's time for some major changes to be made and implementation of strict policies with IPL as well..
Ravi. Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Jo hota hai acche k liye hota hai. Hope BCCI and players take it seriously.
Cricketics Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Tics' date=' how can you be so positive all the time? what's the secret?[/quote'] Man it's not about being positive. I am just saying I can't be so negative that I say that Indian cricket has died rite away. Yes, as a follower of Indian cricket, this is the worst defeat I have ever seen. I would be lying if I say I saw India lose badly in 80s also sometime in tests on overseas tour. Because I wasn't born back then or was too young. Just cant image a top test team not able to pick their performance back to normal or atleast close to it.
amiret Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 This is the worst series loss in my life. IN '99 in Aus we lost 3-0 but we were underdogs and never expected to win anything. But I have never seen such a spineless performance in my life. I anticipated India would lose this series because England were a much better team but i never imagined it would be such a comprehensive thrashing. At least all this nonsense about India being #1 will die down until we actually win a series in Aus or SA. We only need to remember one Stat about this series , our bowlers have bowled some of the worst bowling spells of the last decade in this series.
Yoda-esque Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Many stupid urban Indians :(( who follow Soccer and not Cricket?
