veer Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Press: "Do you think India can win against Australia in Australia?" "Yes" (imagine the headlines if there's a no.) "Do you think India is capable of winning consistently - maybe even every test - in Australia?" "Yes" (imagine the headlines if there's a no.) next headline: SREESANTH SAYS INDIA CAN WIN 4-0... CAN is still undestandable.. but WILL win? daalo woh journalist ko andar.. Link to comment
bharat297 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 It doesnt actually say anywhere "we will win tests 4-0" so this is a misquote. However I suspect that what happened was someone asked him "Do you believe you can beat Australia 4-0?" to which he probably replied "Yes" ... I mean like who is gonna reply ... "No, I think it will be win 2 and lose 1 and the other match will be a draw". The Indian media probably ran with that. Link to comment

"Do you think India is capable of winning consistently - maybe even every test - in Australia?" "Yes" (imagine the headlines if there's a no.) next headline: SREESANTH SAYS INDIA CAN WIN 4-0... Exactly. Just like Sehwag's 200 in ODIs. Link to comment

Donny Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 More absolute dross. In this thread (more than once) the question was: "Do you think India is capable of winning consistently - maybe even every test - in Australia?" Sree's answer was: "Yes" What's the problem ?? That's a fair headline for the given quotes. Good on him, I say. Any professional cricket should be aiming to win every game. Glenn McGrath has aways predicted like this. Before the '05 Ashes, he suggested 5-0 would be the result and was crucified by the (mainly British) press and many fans when his team lost 1-2. He also predicted a 5-0 result for the next Ashes and was correct. He then said Australia would go through the ODI WC undefeated. Correct. It's not as though he sits down and goes through every upcoming match and series and comes to a conclusion - it's just the way he approached his cricket. Professionally. Link to comment
Mr. Wicket Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yeah, except that McGrath didn't wait for the press to ask him questions - he'd walk out there and start promising whitewashes here and there in between naming his bunnies. And best of all, quite a few of those predictions were spot on. What a man. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Best was McGrath's underlying reason for those predictions - if I don't believe that I can win every match I play in, what's the point! Link to comment
