Sachin=GOD Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 well said dan' date='you keep eyes on all opponents.[/quote'] :hatsoff:
Sachin=GOD Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Not just the gap..he's too late on the ball. That if I'm not wrong is a clear sign of a waning batsman. Can't see him scoring big at Perth..he may do well at featherbed Adelaide pitch. he cannot turn into a bad batsman suddenly. He was batting quite well for most part of 2011 and its only in Aus that we've seen these problems. I expect him to sort these out soon.

Unfortunately it has happened with our seniors now. It's not a question of becoming bad overnight, it's just that he can't do the things he could do in his prime.

Also, its only in these 2 Tests that he has batted badly (since early 2011) so he shouldn't be written off.

bulbul Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Chinks or Holes...he will Play Next 2 tests... if failed badly like first 2 tests i hope He retires If he played will..i again hoe he announce his retirement Plans :two_thumbs_up:

Ganguly retired 3 years ago and we are yet to find a replacement who can last 2 Test series' before people start questioning his technique and you want the other 3 to retire as well. what about M$D - would you agree that he also needs to be "phased out" of Test cricket (or at least the Test Kaptaani) :giggle:

MSD where did he came into this ,oh........ I see I named you God to be phased out as well.Looks like a raw nerve has been touched.

MSD where did he came into this ,oh........ I see I named you God to be phased out as well.Looks like a raw nerve has been touched. apart from the England tour and this Aus tour we've done quite well in Test in the last 3-4 years with these legends so I see no reason to ask them to retire because of 2 bad series'. If they are playing well then I'd continue with them. whenever someone talks about Indian players not being in form in Test matches then my mind goes to the one player who has never been in form in Test matches - M$D.

akshayxyz Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 you replace all the oldies tomorrow, or phase them out over 1-2 years.. it will anyway take at least two years to make a team of completely fresh faces...only difference would be, perhaps more losses, even at home.

If they are playing well then I'd continue with them. . Yes let us continue with our legends for another 3-4 years or we can should play them till they reach 50.Its not all about batting ,its about other aspects of cricket as well like fielding ,running etc. whenever someone talks about Indian players not being in form in Test matches then my mind goes to the one player who has never been in form in Test matches - M Oh well, you have brought up Dhoni again.But for some information,I saw you defend Veeru in other thread today,but sorry to tell you but the non performer MSD has outscored him last 3 overseas tour.Aur mere bhai,he also outscored your God in the only match we won in last SA tour :((.I am ashamed at this non performer.
Sid Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 ^ nth time.. whatever opportunities young guns are getting, will get.. they have to make most of it, and prove their mettle... the way our oldies did, when they debuted... there is absolutely no way we should be doing "confidence boosting" exercise, that too 3-4 rookies simultaneously. There are 5-6 players who will be competiing for those 3 spots .And I am sure,given oppurtunities on Indian tracks where we will be playing for 1-2 years now,they will perform.Well we have made this situation for ourselves where we have to try 3-4 rookies simaltaneously.
VRV Singh Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 India is quite fortunate, there is not much scope to get *****slapped for a while this year. When is the next Test series, was the Sree Lanka Test cancellation true? It is the time to throw the yengsters in. Where is Pujara at?
coffee_rules Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 "... Maybe it's a case of two more bricks in the wall to fill that hole.." Ian Chappell does not think Rahul Dravid getting bowled three times in a Test quite befits his nickname Dec 29, 2011
