India vs England 2012

[panther]

srt, dhoni,zaheer and sehwag all need to retire from test cricket. India need to go back to preparing flat pitches and pick ftbs like murli vijay and bat teams out the game.

Who said that? If Sachin passes the fitness test' date=' age is just a number.[/quote'] fitness does not measures ur reflexes which are big part in sports...

While it is true "outbatting" has won us more matches than "outbowling" it is not exactly a healthy approach while transitioning. We will have to go through overseas pounding for another decade.

That has to be done at domestic level and A team tours by the time a player is ready for test cricket he should have experience in most countries and surfaces.

Please pick Harby again! PLEASE!

Its a bit of overreaction.We won the last test easily even though most players are out of form.We shot ourselves in the foot by preparing a turner.If we play on low slow pitches our batsman will look great and frankly we have depended on batting mostly.

Anusha Dandekar? :winky2:

[Jersey #10]

What difference did he make despite passing the fitness test? He averaged 57+ during the England tour and now he averages 54 and soon enough he might drop below 50, who knows. He is screwing himself up. Should have retired after the World Cup. Home ground, played a crucial part in the world cup, what more could you ask more for a fairy tale ending? Just for the sake of that "1" ton? Bradman averaged 99.94 and after getting bowled out for the 2nd ball, did he ever get back to score those runs and get his average to a 100? No. It did not make any difference, he would have been honored and respected as one of the greatest. Same goes to Sachin. No one is ever gonna get close to that colossal international record and that "1" ton wouldn't have made any difference either. He would still be best never mind that 1 or 2 100s.

and you know more than he does. :giggle:

Don't know' date= but at least the hissy fits from his bhakts will provide some comic relief.

my point thank you

coming to this site.. discussing abt everything and then u say this...see the irony ?

[King Tendulkar]

F you lot. Go F yourself were the sun dont shine. Bunch of slef loathing, wrist slitting plonkers. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH. I refuse to believe we can lose against england at home. England are going to get raped in Eden Gardens. Sree aus, fat leg, woggly doggy, and serani. Your boys are in for it in Kolkatta. We will gain revenge. Our boys will be hurting now and they will hit back. I will keep believeing till this series is over. By the way its 1-1 with 2 tests to play. We are NOT 2-0 down!!

My friend is staying at my home for few days and he is thinking whether I have gone mad or something as I can't stop laughing. :((

and you know more than he does. :giggle:

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. That was an opinion, everyone has one. And yes we did see the consequences of not retiring after the world cup.

[Rohit S. Ambani]

England are not good against spin too. He just did not bowl well enough here.

We will see what he do in remaining 2 tests. :agree:

[Rohit S. Ambani]

Dhoni actually defended his move. :finger:

[Rohit S. Ambani]

Maybe they should have retired one by one for smooth transition. Now suddenly we have inexperienced Raina, Kohli, Yuvi.
