Australia Tour of India 2013 |Feb-Mar|

[Needforspeed]

Murali Vijay will not reach double figures. Max 9. Same with Sehwag.

[Needforspeed]

India will be lucky to get away with a draw in Hyd with this 'Settled combination'. 3 recognized batsmen (Puj, SRT, Kohli) and one and a half bowlers.

Do not worry Ojha is with rhiti sports so he will get chances .But will always be the first one to be dropped as he is family.

[rkt.india]

Ojha is as good as Ashwin or perhaps even better. But Dhoni thinks he is worse than Jadeja' date=' Bhajji and Ishant. This is how you reduce the confidence of a player and slowly make him mediocre.[/quote'] where did Dhoni say he is worse than Jadeja, Bhajji or Ishant? any link?

[rkt.india]

None of the Indian bowler is even close to him.

Ojha is nothing special. He is more of a steady bowler but not a real match winner. Mumabi batsmen actually showed how ordinary he is in recently concluded Irani trophy match.

[Sidhoni]

On Indian pitches Jadeja is as good as Ojha

No way. If Ojha was playing this test, we would have thrashed them badly -- by an innings and 100 runs or so.

[Vivek.S.123]

Dhoni is going to pick the same XI :shakehands:

[kubrickian]

On Indian pitches Jadeja is as good as Ojha

You have no clue what you are talking about. Jadeja is a darter and rarely tries to turn the ball. Ojha relies on flight and spin and he is deadly accurate. He would have ran through this Aussie lineup on Chennai pitch.

hmm less than 60 runs in the match

Darter left armers work on Indian tracks.

Leftarm spinners and generally most fnger spinners depend on pitch .Ojha to his credit has done well in every series he has played and looked the best indian bowler.I would take a ordianry bowler who is ranked no8 in the world anyday.

[Needforspeed]

A draw is the best result we can hope for if Dhobi decides to go with the 'Settled' team.

[CoverDrive]

I feel Sachin may retire at the end of this series Call it a hunch but somehow from the way he is playing it feels like this could be his last one. it is a good chance to go on a high. Next Test series is only in SA after a very long gap.

[Junyfan]

50 in one of the inning

[Pagalpanti]

If Sachin wanted to retire on high, he would've done that after World cup. He will play the SA series if he does well here.

[1983-2011]

nah, tendya wont retire

[bharat297]

I have the same feeling too. I don't see Sachin playing past 40. I've got the same hunch too.

[namasteji1]

Yes, i agree.

[Lord]

Yes I felt that too.there is a carefree nature about his innings which werent there earlier

[zep1706]

If Sachin wanted to retire on high' date=' he would've done that after World cup. He will play the SA series if he does well here.[/quote'] Things were completely different then. India was on the top of the world in both test and ODI, Sachin was in the form of his life, he could do no wrong at that time. It's hard to walk away from that more so when you have done nothing in life except cricket. This could actually be true. India don't play at home for a long time and chances are high that we will struggle abroad again. This might be the perfect opportunity for Sachin to go out if we win this series. The only thing that could hold him back is that he will be just shy of 200 tests. But he quit ODIs with 49 tons so you never know. It's quite probable.
