BeautifulGame Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 The general refrain, though, remained that India didn't need big changes. "Because we were playing the same team in the last couple of years and we became the No. 1 team with the same batting line-up, the same bowling line-up." :banghead: :facepalm: We are just hopeless
saneindian Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Some very honest comments from Sehwag accepting the failures, accepting there could be problems and being honest about working on those problems.
The Dark Horse Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 It's an individual thing," he said. "I haven't performed well overseas, I haven't scored a hundred overseas for the last couple of tours. I have to look at myself and see what I need to do when I go to Australia or England or South Africa or New Zealand. It's my personal thing. Nothing related with the team." You should be kicked out of the team. Now that's a team thing.
Texan Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 These idiots will always live in denial. Instead of trying to change the team and finding ways to win, they are more interested in having a benefit season for the oldies in the team who can't even get bat to ball. They are so embarrassing, they should be playing in a veteran's team
Vikas Bhatt Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 So finally Sehwag joins the clowning bandwagon of his boss BCCI. "We also won 2-0" at home". "We are still one day World Champions and that will be a different ball game". Seriously if such a senior player has this excuse to make then what can I say. Like his dense Delhi mate Gambhir he also believes that winning at home and winning Pajama matches makes up for being pathetic losers in test cricket. Someone please shoot me. I cannot continue being an Indian cricket fan anymore. Our cricket is simply no longer worth it if this is how our corrupt players and board view test cricket. This is the most shameful chapter ever in our entire cricketing history. I feel disgusted, too much disgusted right now.
rkt.india Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Some very honest comments from Sehwag accepting the failures' date=' accepting there could be problems and being honest about working on those problems.[/quote'] What he accepted? He said we were practicing hard in the nets but could not perform in the match. He said it is not good time for our batsmen and when good time will come (read at home on pattas) they will again score runs (though I am not sure even about this). These guys are not able to defend straight deliveries. They are hurried. They did not have good time in England and now too. So there bad time has stretched too long. It cannot just be a coincident. We have seen same batting collapsed against Aussies at home, against NZ (15/6), against, WI, but those times, we got out of jail but it is getting worse now. We did not score 200 in 4 out of 8 innings in this test series. The top scorer is a rookie test player. I do not remember a series when there was no century from any of the 3 ATGs. They collectively scored four 50s in 24 innings. This is a serious indication of where they are heading. Ashwin scored more than VVS in this series and looked better. Saha looked better than Dravid while defending. Instead of accepting they were poor, they are giving poor excuses. SRT looked like he is getting grenades from Lyon. At the end of the RANT, hopefully I don't see any changes in this team bar an injury or a retirement out of shame in the next test series.
amiret Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Sehwag mentioned in the interview "The way Zak , Umesh & Ishant bowled was impressive" :facepalm: What was impressive about Ishant !
ZodiaC Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 "We also won 2-0" at home". "We are still one day World Champions and that will be a different ball game". I can understand him asking for our support, but what the **** is this all about? Yeah we won 2-0 at home, that makes it all fair and square? FFS.
Stuge Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Sehwag has relied up emotions of hurt fans :cantstop:
bulbul Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 RKT u wont see any changes ....there are lot od supporters for our superstars...even question them makes some angry... After Aswhin told we are not embarassed lot of criticism there next day he came with a changed statement suddenly people praising him for the speech...who knows he may have told to talk like that by PR guys.. Same with Gambhir...when he commenetd we will see how OZ plays in india ...people again put forward excuses to defend him.. I guess any oe here think Players are serious about Overseas test records they must be delusional.. Thats why i want to retire from commenting on International matches and concentarte on Trolling in IPL...bring it on
Needforspeed Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 What hurts more is stupid statements like this..Clearly shows that these guys don't give a damn about the Indian Public. We too wouldn't have bothered if these guys were not representing the country and the country's image is getting tarnished. They owe it to the nation to at least come up with a collective apology for their performance. The BCCI owes to the nation with a statement of intent as to what they plan to do about this performance. I really hope there is a backlash from the fans of cricket in India. Let us run a massive campaign..Lets go after the Board and players thru every possible means -thru twitter, facebook, forums, Letters to the Editors in newspapers. Let us make their lives miserable until BCCI is forced to do something about this.

Needforspeed Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 But according to BCCI' date=' they play for BCCI not for India.:hehe:[/quote'] Then govt should stop them from calling themselves Team India or the Indian team. Let them call themselves the 'Srinivasan's Golden oldies' or 'The creaking Terminators XI' or something like that.

NeutralCat Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Please Shewag you ftb quit the game of cricket, you obviously don't know how to use your bat when away from the roads of India.
The Dark Horse Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 He is talking as if he has sealed his spot in the 11 forever. :mad:
chainsmoker1985 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 4 long years since Sehwag scored a century outside sub-continent, still he wants support from us. Even god does not test our patience for this long
