India disgraced themselves by not competing - Ian Chappell

[moniker]

Constructive criticism my ass. The guy is like Mani Shankar Aiyar of Australia with a deep rooted attitude against Indians. 5-10 yrs back this guy was constantly trying to up Ponting against Tendulkar by talking up the former's aggressive play. He is nothing but a India bater.

I think it's just a case of the truth hurting your ass. Yes he was biased towards Ponting, that doesn't mean he's an "India hater".

Former Australian captain Ian Chappell has praised the remarkable batting strength of Team India. He said, “India is producing by far the best young batsmen currently, and in addition to (Shikhar) Dhawan, (Virat) Kohli, (Cheteshwar) Pujara and Rohit Sharma, Unmukt Chand is one for the future.”

That's funny reasoning.. people don't hesitate a bit to bring in Dhoni's records in 2011 although as per your logic' date=' 4-0 should prevent them from mentioning that ain't it?[/quote'] Err, it is clear that we will take 3 years as a WHOLE. So in 3 years, for India, only the 4-0 stands out as an exception, rest all were loses except against small teams. On the other hand, for Aussies, it is the other way around, they never looked back after that loss and won series after series. I dunno why this is so difficult to understand

CBF to link his articles. He is the classic fence sitter with his ass turned towards indian team. Whenever we do well, there is largely silence or grudging acceptance, but whenever we do not do well, suddenly all verbal diarrhoea starts overflowing from his behind. I've been following him since 10-12 years mate.

That would mean India has been a disgrace since 2011 . Since we did not compete in 2011-12 in Eng , Aus either. Same thing can be said for England vs Aus.

First slip is a hazardous zone because Dhoni has given up attempting to catch anything other than a straightforward gift on the batsman's off side. Not only does his inactivity serve to narrow the reach of the slip cordon, it also creates confusion in the mind of the first-slip fielder.

Whats the matter, cant handle someone not being on BCCI pay roll and not towing the line.:giggle: 3 years of shame and you say its all ok. Why 3 years used as yard stick you say. Ok lets do last 12 months. Check, awful Ok lets do last 24 months. Check, awful OK lets do last 36 months. Check, awful Apparently results from a bygone era or only ones should evaluate. Heck go by that yard stick then no doubt ganguly should still be skipper and Sachin still in team:hysterical:

Eh? The question is how much time a captain can suck before being replaced. Most boards would replace captain in one year. Even great players like Sachin, Dravid, Ponting were hounded after 1-2 years of failure. Here we are using 3 years failure to point out how long the string if failures have been. What would be your cut off date, 10 years? 30 years of failure?
