Debutant Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Then by that logic Murali Vijay is a great batsman because performing at international level is not required for a player to be called great. Again you are comparing cricket with football.
Sehwag1830 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 Again you are comparing cricket with football. So in football performing at international level is not required ?
panther Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 domestic competiton in football is actually better take example of champions league than international football.
Sehwag1830 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 domestic competiton in football is actually better take example of champions league than international football. So domestic competition in football is better then why can't a team win a single WC/EURO cup in 44 years ? It means in domestic competition a lot of weakness can be hidden by simply purchasing all the good players. Such things don't happen at international level.
panther Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I don't like rooney i think he is overated because he plays in a team full of good foreign players, the same can be said for almost every english player.
Sehwag1830 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 I don't like rooney i think he is overated because he plays in a team full of good foreign players' date=' the same can be said for almost every english player.[/quote'] Fine. This was my point. I mean most of the English journalist still consider Rooney as World class despite his consecutive failures in EURO 2008, EURO 2012, WC 2006, WC 2010.
Debutant Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 So in football performing at international level is not required ? There are a lot of players in football who are considered as greats only for their performance in clubs even when they are not so great with their national teams ex Messi, Scholes, Torres, Carragher, Reina are the few I can think of right now.
King Khan Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Comparing Rooney and Jadeja is wrong. Club teams in football are at par or even better than the national teams in many cases. The quality of Premier League or La Liga is same as that of Euros and World Cups which is not the case of IPL teams. IPL teams are way behind the national teams. So the comparison is not appropriate here. This +1 Such comparison not possible when in sports like baseball or football having most compitive games happens in league stages like MLB or EPL, where as in Cricket its oposite case, international cricket is far more better in compitiveness than leages like IPL. Yes Premier league is certainly high quality domestic league as indicated by number of WC and Euro cup won by England. Both Jadeja and Rooney are mediocre at international level. So comparison is absolute correct. You seems you too much facinated by those sarcastic ignorant English comments for their Euro QF loss against Italy. We cant defend here with Rooneey=Jadeja.

It means in domestic competition a lot of weakness can be hidden by simply purchasing all the good players. Such things don't happen at international level. If we allow all 11 overseas players in IPL teams, it will definitely increase the quality of IPL. But will it increase the quality of Indian Cricket Team? I don't think so. Same way 11 top class players from all over the world playing togather in EPL teams make those teams good not the England team. So quality EPL not necessarily means quality England team.
Crookbond Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 English football is overrated crap. Last time they won the World Cup was 1966. After 46 years they still talk about it all the time. Simple as that. The ONLY reason EPL gets the hype is due to a "very convenient" time slot since they are the GMT. Btw - let me add the win wasn't clean too and had it's own share of controversy.
Cabinet96 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 If Jadeja becomes disciplined he will be as great as Sobers' date=' Miller.[/quote'] Yes, and Ian Bell is as good as Don Bradman.
Sehwag1830 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 Yes' date=' and Ian Bell is as good as Don Bradman.[/quote'] Read that article . I myself agree Jadeja is crap.
India-KXIP fan Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 "We should question Jadeja's commitment but not his class." Jadeja- class stopped reading here
bangladeshifan Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Both Ravindra Jadeja and Wayne Rooney play very well for their club teams. Yet we consistently mock Jadeja and English consider Ronney as World Class. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/players/wayne-rooney/9358209/Euro-2012-former-England-manager-Fabio-Capello-claims-Wayne-Rooney-only-understands-Scottish.html We should question Jadeja's commitment but not his class. If Jadeja becomes disciplined he will be as great as Sobers, Miller. There is no difference between Club sports and international sports. From now on while criticizing Jadeja, we should never question his place in team. We should rather question his commitment .Once Jadeja gets his commitment right he will blow away the team. and that day i was laughing my ass out bcs they compared shakib with sober in bangla forum
Precambrian Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Lol, fantastic sarcasm by OP :hysterical: So when did Jadeja play for India in test kirkut?
goggi Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Once Jadeja gets his commitment right he will blow away the team. More likely Jaddu like Rooney will get blown by grandmothers.
Executioner Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 :hysterical: Comparing him with the likes of sobers
maniac Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Well an apt comparison would be Rooney vs Chris Gayle.....one of the most popular club players,game-changing talent, without the same level of commitment at the international level
Pagalpanti Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Jadeja as great as sobers? Didn't read after that..
