Ultimate_Game Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Wanted to get a head start coz I can see where the series is headed :smiley: 1. We never played our best bowling attack - 4 man pace battery of Vinay, Mithun, Umesh and Aaron 2. Aaron got injured before the series else Aussies would have been in for some serious chin music 3. Aussies cheated by leaving grass on the surface. We were under the impression grass is only meant for Eng and NZ series 4. Series happened before Laxman's hip replacement else he would have taken apart Aussies 5. It was unfair to play against such a green attack in Siddle, Hilfenhaus and Pattinson so we decided to even it up by gifting the first 2 tests to Aus 6. We wanted to popularize the game of cricket in Aus. If we keep on winning the interest will wane. Judging by how things are going in Eng, it's mission accomplished in Aus as well 7. Team wasn't provided their choice of lunch - butter chicken, chicken tikka, kheer etc. - so they decided to not bat for more than 60 overs in an innings as a sign of protest
Manny_Pacquiao Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 no excuses. india arent good enough. old team, past it. BUT.. 6. We wanted to popularize the game of cricket in Aus. If we keep on winning the interest will wane. Judging by how things are going in Eng, it's mission accomplished in Aus as well this was actually said by one of the BCCI guys after the 4-0 in ingerland "England have been losing for the last 10 years, most of their teams, and at football also. So therefore we're absolutely happy because we want cricket to grow in England." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/rajeev-shukla-meet-the-smooth-operator-really-running-cricket-2372945.html

Congrats BCCI! Your plan worked!!! :two_thumbs_up:
Rajiv Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Everyone has their place for granted, play and do whateva u like
Ultimate_Game Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 As George Bush would say "Mission Accomplished" by our stalwarts and BCCI. Now nobody would want to see more Tests and I can see extended IPL spanning nearly 3 months
Needforspeed Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Since this thread is about excuses, here it is: 1. Sreesanth and Dartbhajan not there-So India not able to sledge properly. 2. We are the ODI champs-Who gives a Sh** about Tests. 3. Come to India and play-we will show you. 4. Tendulkar/Dravid/Laxman were all running high temperatures. 5. Gambhir/ Ishant/Kohli were all suffeing from constipation as the Aussie food did not agree with them. 6. Actually Ishant and Zaheer were not fully fit, Aaron was already injured and our main swing bowler, Vinay Koomar was not played. 7. Virendra Sehwag was always having hangover as the Aussie stuff was too strong. 8. Ashwin was homesick as he was not getting enough idli Sambhar. 9. Dhoni was missing his wife and his brain was not functioning properly. 10. Yadav prefers to bowl on flat tracks. He is new and inexperienced. 11. Coach Duncan Fletcher was eating too much-so he was not able to think. 12. The Aussie weather did not suit the Indians. 13. The Indians were practicing for the IPL. 14. DRS was not there. We can have a few more as the series progress.
ganeshran Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Stadium's vaastu wasnt right. Pitch should have been facing east side
zep1706 Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Stadium's vaastu wasnt right. Pitch should have been facing east side Sydney should be renamed as Syddney, oh wait KSyddney. :haha:
ganeshran Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 KT's prediction lead to Indian players being complacent
rabinjackman Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Sachin has always been a tragic hero... So his career must end in tragedy If Romeo n Juliet hadnt died wud their story have been famous for so many centuries?
BeautifulGame Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Grounds are too big. When the ball nearly reach the boundary Aus batsmen run 3 whereas Laxman can still only run a single.This is clear cheating. We shouldnt tolerate this kind of cheating and return home.Are the Aero planes ready at Sydney airport?
rabinjackman Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Kohli -> Aussie babes are too hot, We need more time with them, so we try to finish the games as early as possible :haha:
rabinjackman Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 ICC did not let BCCI negotiate a third batting innings for India
