MCcricket Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 All in all we lost the test series in SA because of Dhoni's captaincy and equal measure Zaheers bowling and fitness, because just after bowling one spell at about 133 k he was wasted for the entire tour and trundled at 125 k which is a shame and selectors are idi0ts in picking him up as he is done and cost us a series as Ashwin was in effective in the first test and we just had two bowlers bowling as Zaheer was useless after one spell. Though it is bad thinking on my part but just cant help thinking he gets injured in Ranji q/f and selectors hand is forced and they pick up a good fast bowler and also will save Zaheer the ignominy of being Indians best bowler at one time and maybe even being the best left armer in the world for three year period to being a complete joke, Pankaj Singh, Suyal , Shukla maybe they could make their name and take our bowling to a higher level as Dhoni will not have Zaheer sit out
The Outsider Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Come on! It's a cricket match at the end of the day and while for whatever reason you might not want a player to feature in the team it is so morally corrupt to wish an injury on him. Somewhere we get desensitized to injuries of sportsmen, but they are as human as and feel the same pains and pangs of an injury as you do. Better wish he does not get a visa or misses his flight.

I MEAN NO OFFENCE AND DO KNOW HE HAS SERVED HIS COUNTRY WELL BUT IN THE PRESENT SCENARIO OUR SELECTORS AND CAPT , COACH ARE SO DUMB AND WE FANS ARE FRUSTRATED WITH THE THINGS THAT IS TAKING OUR CRICKET BACK WARDS AND SELECTORS CAPTAIN KEEP IGNORING THE OBVIOUS.
The Outsider Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Yaar them take out your anger on captain, coach or whoever. Why wish an injury on someone who has probably never harmed you!!
MCcricket Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Yaar them take out your anger on captain' date=' coach or whoever. Why wish an injury on someone who has probably never harmed you!![/quote'] As a top professional sports person Zaheer should be the first one to look in the mirror and see the big decline, he owes it to himself and his team, he did let India down big time and always see great cricketers like Lara , Hayden retire before they become a burden on the team unfortunately Tendulkar and Zaheer more so as batters can survive with one mediocre bat but bowler among them with us playing only three seamers it is a big dis advantage
vvvslaxman Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Instead of wishing Zak getting injured.. why don't you wish Zak get 10fer lol

MCcricket Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Instead of wishing Zak getting injured.. why don't you wish Zak get 10fer lol There is no chance in hell of that happening, injury a high probability with his body and form but him getting even couple of wickets bowling at 125 is a bonus.
puneet28 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Why not wish Ishant to get injured do that some other talented bowler gets chance. Zaheer has served India, deserves a good farewell and I think he should retire at end of NZ tour. But what about Ishant ?
GoldenSun Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 One of the dumbest and classless threads I've come across.
MCcricket Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 One of the dumbest and classless threads I've come across. In Indian cricket good things happen by chance and fate has to interrupt sometimes for things to get sorted out , I do not trust Dhoni, Fletcher or most Indian selectors thru history to do the right thing, thus the frustration. Anyone who has seen Zaheer bowl would see that it was a joke, he is finished and not fit for test cricket at all, there is never ever any planning, vision, building a strong team motive by any of these guys, sports can be brutal, I am not questioning him as a person and as a fan I HAVE RIGHT TO SAY WHAT I DID, I EXPRESSED THE FEELING I HAD AND ALOT OF FANS DO REGARDING SELECTORS, DHONI, ISHANT AND NOW ZAK, would a jockey still race a old wasted horse?, would any professional selector who is paid and evaluated to perform pick up Zaheer and Ishant after seeing their bowling ?Ishant is atleast 25 a 36 year old Zaheer coming in at 125 k is a liability and weakness for the team and as was Sachin for last 2 years atleast , could we have won in SA most probably with a better captain and selections.
saneindian Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Yaar take no offense but I hope all computer warriors also meet the same fate that they wish for others. Mind boggling. Stupidity has got no limits.

You can't blame that on selectors because they did select a squad that was capable of winning. the playing 11 was wrong. I am not sure whose fault it is, either the coach or dhoni or somebody else. The Indian media is too stupid to ask these questions or demand accountability so we will never know. after making such massive blunders in not picking 4 pacers on pitch that offered nothing to spinners, and then not picking two spinners on a pitch that offered nothing to pacers, you can't really blame anything on any individual player.
Lord Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I just hope Dhoni develops common sense to drop Ishant and Zak if hes half fit before the match
carnish Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Play Umesh Yadav and Shami Ahmed ... I don't care who else plays, gets injured or whatever. ZAK is past his time .. Should just say goodbye like Swann did. And Yes, Sehwag should do the same too. And if Yuvraj is unable to make a comeback before 2015 WC, he should quit too ... I don't see him sticking till 2019. Dhoni should definite quit tests after 2015 Australian tour.
adi B Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 zak is finished,he is unfit and has lost his rhythm,he will be more of a passenger in nzl,better try out new pacers..another thing is he has lost his charm of picking wkts of lefties with the new ball because his speed has gone down,rutherford might smack him all around the park
MCcricket Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 If you guys are still not convinced then the Ranji game has given us enough evidence he is done and is an embarrassment to see him bowl like that, its better somehow if he doesn't go to NZ for him and the team as it will hurt both I hope he sees some sense and retires
Old guy Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 If you guys are still not convinced then the Ranji game has given us enough evidence he is done and is an embarrassment to see him bowl like that' date=' its better somehow if he doesn't go to NZ for him and the team as it will hurt both I hope he sees some sense and retires[/quote'] Look I know u love cricket a lot so getting emotional and saying thing like this is understandable but even if he bowls crap and what not u should just wish he is not selected or dropped from Mumbai team even instead if hoping about physical injury when he has not done anything wrong His job is to bowl and if he does not bowls well then it's selectors job to not drop him not his fault that he is selected even when he bowls badly cos he is giving his all..he went though lot of training even if it's not enough and he is crap now u cannot fault him...fault lies with people who select him not Zaheer so I hope he keeps on playing long in ranjis and if he is good enough for India ..really still respect him even if he is no longer good and let's hope he has good future :two_thumbs_up:
