Swing+ seam: Credit has to go to the bowler. x4dvGoh5o24

Sorry I don't agree with you. A batsman of Dravids stature and with the game delicately poised should never have been playing a shot like that. He was looking to work the ball through the mid-wicket area to a ball that was pure line and length. Showing the bowler the make of the bat was the order of the day there, but it seems to me that he lost his concentration pure and smple.:sad_smile: Good job Boycs wasn't commentating.

I will accept your remark Sriram. I have that issue. I am a perfectionist in many things, and I am that way to myself too. Its not easy, and it can alienate folks around me. I've been that way right since the time I will be furious when I make a silly mistake in some darn Math test. It just has to be centum and nothing else for me. Same when I do some work. While no doubt, it has helped me achieve some of the successes that I have achieved so far, it (being a perfectionist) has caused some problems too. Expectations not being practical is one, and some frustration in others is another one. If one has to become a "manager at work" - just for example - I know I need to tone this down, becos not everyone does everything perfectly and it will cause problems. Even I ofcourse dont do everything perfectly, but I will be angry then even if it is myself! So, its a whole different thing - hard to explain. It enables success but at the same time needs to be toned down at times.

Since you have given a very detailed answer covering a whole gamut of issues ranging from being a perfectionist to a lot more things , lemme say this. You are just wasting your energy in the wrong avenue. This is just sport and thats the way it should be seen. The way you write your posts, i can imagine you getting furious and getting yourself all worked up if the cricket doesnt go right. Either this , or you are bloody darn good at being this doomsday specialist just for creating some sensationalism. Either way , just relax, see this as it is -- just a past-time.

Sriram, Is expecting a score of 300/5 against a shitty side not practical?? and when do our players have performed consistently lets say more than 2 tests??? and expecting our players to play senisbly isa realistic one IMO... mebe we shudnt expect anything considering tht we have shi.t load of inconsistent players...

Annatha , our test record off-late has been as good as it has EVER been, IMO. Do you or dont you agree with that ?

A place in India where the finest charas is grown/made. Now please you 'APSARA' don't ask me for a definition of 'charas'.:confused_smile:

I do get angry if our players screw up. I dont mind if we lose - provided we havent screwed up and messed things. If we put up a good show, show a good fight, and still lose, its ok. I dont mind. But, doing stupid things, and messing it up - thats what I get angry about.

bump

Pak 24/0 in 7 overs ...lead a mere 21 runs :giggle:

[Dhoni's English]

Every wicket that fell yesterday was earned by Pakistanis (with the exception of Dhoni's & Tendulkar's) KKD was never comfortable with Akhtar's pace. Pace & late movement did him. Jaffar was beaten by sheer pace & was caught on the crease. Ganguly & Dravid were beaten by some seam movement. Tendulkar had a brain lapse, but Pakistanis did well to cash in. Dhoni could have avoided that shot but i'd put his wicket down to his bad ankle. A healthy Dhoni would not have been beaten by that delivery.

Sorry I had to bump this most ridiculous comment on this thread. If Dhoni's ankle would have been so bad as to justify this then he would no way have been selected. I didn't see anything wrong with his ankle when he was sprinting between the wickets and as for the 'one leg in the air' trademark Dhoni shot?, this is nothing to do with a bad ankle. Can anyone remember that amazing shot he played in Goa in March 2006?(ODI v's Eng.) When I think with his first ball he faced, he smashed Kabir Ali for six on one leg! Stupendous!
