Predator_05 Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Kaneria, even in his prime - will never be as good as Kumble was at any stage of his career.
Gollum Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 The most 'pathetic team overseas' crown belongs to India. 1-14 since CWC 2011 and we are praising the boys for not folding within 3 days. We conveniently forget that we picked 12 wickets this match, the same as Lyon and apart from Mooli and Rat rest all played like Afridi. 8 wickets fell in 18 overs...un***ingbelievable.

If not for rain we were never going to be in a winning position in first place, so people are just happy for whatever happened.
Texy Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 I would ANY day take a fighting loss over capitulating, defeated mindset tame draw. Can't wait for the cancer to leave the test team....Kohli you beauty.

Lord Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 We fought and went for win in first Tests in SA and NZ too.Can't sustain it for long though
bulbul Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 We fought and went for win in first Tests in SA and NZ too.Can't sustain it for long though NZ fought and saved test. SA was even.
Lord Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 NZ fought and saved test. SA was even. No first Test when we almost chased 400 and lost
bulbul Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 No first Test when we almost chased 400 and lost Right mixed that up... But its more like 1 innings collapse each for India and NZ.
Lord Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Right mixed that up... But its more like 1 innings collapse each for India and NZ. yeah but we went for 400 in 4th innings
bulbul Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 yeah but we went for 400 in 4th innings 2 days to chase 400 runs ....no other option.
Lord Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 2 days to chase 400 runs ....no other option. We scored at 4 RPO though
bulbul Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 We scored at 4 RPO though still not same as todays match. Draw was not a option there.
express bowling Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Our team took a conscious decision to go for a win instead of a draw. Almost won it. IMHO This is a much better approach to playing cricket than going for a tame draw. It was a 50 : 50 match even an hour after tea. Some batters, like Rohit, could have shown better approach and application though. Then we could have won.
