Positives from the series

[vvvslaxman]

Seriously only positive is we managed to avoid two innings defeats.

^ anish' date=' in case you dont know, I am one of those praying for the complete shutdown of that pathetic crap called IPL. While IPL alone is not responsible for the pathetic quality of future crop of Test batsmen and bowlers and their ability to handle difficult pitches/conditions, it is a contributing factor to both poor quality and lack of hunger (for Tests) in next gen players. When they can bowl 4 overs of crap (or cowlash some DLF boundaries) and earn a million dollars and some late night parties with bollywood bimbos, then what hunger is left for high quality Test level skills? (there are some exceptions like Pujara - hopefully he will succeed).[/quote'] Completely agree. IPL have spoilt Test Cricket future in India. I wonder what will be the condition once the Geniuses retire :(( Got to agree with you. :cantstop:

Dont wonder. Unless and until there is significant improvement actions taken by BCCI (which includes restricting or eliminating IPL and other steps beyond IPL as well), there is nothing to wonder. We will face many such 0-4, 0-3 in future. And some folks will say 15 year olds enjoy IPL and T20, so lets all embrace that crap as "cricket". Its not even cricket - maybe they ought to rename it as a new 'gilli'* *game called gilli dcD5BoztOWA

:woot::woot::woot::woot::woot::woot::woot::woot::woot: Gilli Danda - I can already imagine a Full fledged Gilli Danda tour to various places with Raina leading the side and Harbhajan as the vice captain. I can see Harbhajan throwing the Gilli so hardd that it goes past the playing area on almost every occasion. On the other hand, Raina lashing the Gilli with the Danda so hard that Gilli refuses to come back to the playing area. The main advantage with Gilli Danda is that we don't have to be technically strong as there is no "Short Balls", "Spin" , "Bounce" and more importantly "Swing". All we have to do is slog and slash. And our team will do that pretty well after 5 years of Internation experience via IPL :phehehe:

Euphoric time for Pakistanis Terrorism will go down- hopefullly :pray: keep them distracted Team India

We haven't had a decent bowling allrounder since Kapil Dev. Raina could be the one if he improves his batting a bit.

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: Amit Mishra also may be classed as an all-rounder if he improves his bowling. But then at best he can be batting all rounder.

In space of 5 months, we have hit from very high to very low.

We didnt get good batsman or bowler or fielder in this series the only positive thing was that we got a good commentator named: SOURAV GANGULY.
