kabira Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I have supported far worse team. But my problem is this team is quality..they are proven performer...they are down and I don't see a way for them to come back now.. This is suppose to be our best chance to win the series. Aussies have inexperience team, they had terrible year where they lost Ashes, were shot out to lowest total possible and even lost to NZL. I have lost hope.

When you look at Napier, Durban, Perth 2008 etc., there was so much resilience amongst these players...now its just gone. The fact that no Indian team has done as badly away from home since the 1960s says it all...we surely have had many worse teams in terms of talent in that time.
vijay50 Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Yes they will win the home series against srilanka and west indies. Time to watch IPL tamasha than see these losers.

goose Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Proper depressing slit your wrists stuff. Read with caution... Trying to draw this series 2-2 and retaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will keep them going. Life will go on as well. In fact it already has. An hour or so after the defeat in Sydney, the BCCI released the next IPL schedule, a whopping 53-day event. It's all over. Cricinfo
bulbul Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Proper depressing slit your wrists stuff. Read with caution... Cricinfo IPL ...53 days :yay:
rahulrulezz Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Huh? That's not an excuse. India are slow starters and its a known fact. BCCI are stupid to schedule only a 4 match test series. CA have been very sly and manipulative about the whole thing. BCCI should have scheduled a 100 match test series. We would have beaten the Aussie's 96-4. :hysterical::hysterical: omg last line cracked me up big time.

Sid Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Yes series is not over yet.Couple of massive defeats are still remaning to complete a set of 2 overseas whitwash,an embarassing feat for which this side will be ridiculed forever.
saket123 Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 There is no need to go on with the series... Indians should come back to India.. forfeit the remaining games and save us the torture of watching them get defeated on the 3rd or 4th day. It'll also save the team members the immense humiliation and mental setback. They need to come back home and start developing bouncy pitches with BCCI and practice more before they play on any other series. If they had any iota of shame and honor.. that's what they'd do.

Dude I understand your anger...but what I then don't get is how you were hoping for this feeble team to draw the Sydney game from an impossible situation!
saket123 Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Dude I understand your anger...but what I then don't get is how you were hoping for this feeble team to draw the Sydney game from an impossible situation! I was hoping they would understand that they cannot possibly score runs and set a target for Australia and instead they need to bat out 2 days. Instead they tried playing shots to score runs and got bowled out. Oh well, live and learn I guess.

Instead they tried playing shots to score runs and got bowled out. Oh well, live and learn I guess. From that situation, almost no team can save a game, especially with 2.5 days left. It would've taken a once in a lifetime effort and we are nowhere near that sort of state of mind. What deserves all the vitriol is getting bowled out for 190 and then conceding 660 for 4. It was disgraceful.

It was disgraceful. Australia made 622 runs for the loss of 1 wicket. On paper Sehwag, Dravid, Gambhir, SRT, Laxman and Dhoni are all capable... We couldn't even manage 622 runs for 8 or 9 Wickets!

Ultimate_Game Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 No need to panic' date=' everyone knows we're slow starters. There's 2 Tests left, we'll win both of them and draw the series. Be patient!!! [/quote'] Even if we do the damage's done. This was our best chance to win our maiden series in Aus and now it can't happen. Drawing the series was never our goal and I don't really care about a drawn series much. I guess our dream of winning Test series in Aus and SA will remain unfulfilled :sniffle:
urbestfriend Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Only on Fridays. Being Jumma and all. On other days my lame posts are always that sarcastic. :giggle:
