What An Epic OWNAGE Given To The Team Management By Pujara

[Vijy]

But Bhuvi doesn't have flair! Binny can jump up and twist like Fred Astaire' date= Bhuvi can only dream of doing that.

Ugh! Now, I'll always keep thinking of Binny when I see a Astaire-Rogers movie...:giggle: Don't also forget Binny's "aggression"... it's so high that it makes Chuck Norris cower in fear and Bruce Lee scream like a little kid.

Maybe this is being overly negative, but when Pujara reached his 100, and camera penned onto Indian dressing room, I felt Ravi Shastri was applauding with heavy hands and a very strained smile, lol...especially with his nonsense barking of need to play "Aggressive" cricket

It's not being "overly negative" - the match thread actually had a few posters mention that; I didn't watch this moment live myself.

Cricinfo day highlights has it.

Thanks, will definitely check it out now.

[Vijy]

Just finished seeing Cricinfo highlights - Shastri's reaction was definitely strained after Pujara'a 50; it was borderline offensive and clearly unconvincing after his 100.

[vayuu1]

Kohli' date=' Ravi bot, Sunny, Manju all Mumbai lobbyists got what they deserved.[/quote'] This :bumsmack:

[Gollum]

When the management is comprised of clowns, isn't it reasonable that they also select clowns? Clownocracy: a form of government (or cricket team) of the clowns (present Indian team), by the clowns (management and BCCI) and for the clowns (most naive Indian fans who don't look beyond IPL).

:hysterical::hysterical: Nice one Vijy

One thing I have noticed is that you can't trust shastri Kohli duo. I mean they genuinely believe that having flair and being aggressive (the iiipppllll line of thinking) is a benchmark for getting selected in the playing 11 of the test side.I have doubts if tomorrow mooli fails or chepu fails in a match or two they will bring back raina (shastri already advocated for him and vouched for his test comeback) ,off course Binny and nohit will be already there . no fc criteria,no past performances but only flair becomes a selection criteria,I believe ojha will be pipped before saha because of the aggressive shots he played :giggle:

Awesome awesome day. Thanks Che, you finally shut these pretentious, corrupt, biased, two faced lying sacks of ****. To Shastri and Kohli This is a tight slap to these two arrogant selfish individuals who have put their vested interests over the country. No captain in Indian cricketing history has turned this venomous this early. Both Ganguly and Dhoni started their politics only after a couple of years but this shitsack Kohli thought it best to play Raina the hack over Che in Sydney after Che played a pivotal role in saving the previous test. When the garbage IPL hack got 2 ducks :hysterical: Nohit was brought back in Bangladesh as well as the 2 tests here, and he failed every single time. And then after the 2nd test this SOB had the audacity to indicate that irrespective of what Che would do in the 3rd test he would be benched after that. In spite of all the odds stacked up against him and after being asked to open Che has delivered an innings which Nohit can't dream of replicating in another 10 lifetimes. And unlike Kohli he didn't get out for 105, he actually went on and on as you must do in test cricket. The only batsman in the squad to average over 50 and having 2 200s and multiple 150s :hatsoff:.....he has shown his true worth. Shastri's reaction after Che's 100 was the icing on the cake. Mumbai lobby(spearheaded by that vicious snake Gavaskar) , Shastri, Kohli, Nohit will have a troubled night's sleep tonight and that makes me so happy. A bunch of ****ing useless ***otts is what they are. In spite of all this he may still get dropped from the home series but he has made an impression in the minds of test fans in the country. Also exposed the hollow political games our management has been playing all this while. We don't deserve to win this series with scumbags like Shastri at the helm, I have made peace with whatever will eventually happen after day 5 of this test. My happiest memory has been the look on the traitor Shastri's face when Che got the ton.

Yeah shastri's reaction said it all he restrained his appreciation ,just a grin ,nothing more.rahane was really delighted,you could see the happiness on his face

This is nothing new. http://www.espncricinfo.com/sri-lanka-v-india-2010/content/story/467334.html Been overlooked for 5 years in place of flashy players. Whats shocking is that even making his international debut and scoring big centuries like they they were going out of fashion he gets dropped after a few bad series, and can only make it back in due to a number of injuries. Tells you a lot about the people who run Indian Cricket.

Was expecting a Gollum pounding. And what a pounding it was. :cantstop: In the tour game too, Rohit FAILED and Pujara and Rahul rescued us and were 40 not out each. They made Pujara and Rahul RETIRE OUT the next day and then went on to drop Pujara. If those buggers bench Pujara after this test, they are fecked up losers. Shastri :hysterical: He got ***** slapped by Chepu. HARD. :hysterical:

[Laaloo]

Yeah shastri's reaction said it all he restrained his appreciation ' date='just a grin ,nothing more.rahane was really delighted,you could see the happiness on his face[/quote'] I liked his training Star India Jersey. Anyone know where I can get my hands on those?

[Gollum]

Would serve the national team better if Kohli spends more time in the nets than pulling strings behind the scenes to get his pals in the XI. After his ruthless decapitation at the hands of Poms last year(worst returns by a number 4 in England in the last 100 years :cantstop:) his off side game, especially against the moving ball has become a joke. Here's what he should try to work on in the meantime in stead of plotting against Pujara/Mishrajee 1. Work on off side game, esp against the out swinging ball pitched up 2. Learn to kick on after 100s, take a cue from Che here, 105/106/107 won't serve your team as well as 205/210/220 !!! 3. Get better against spin bowling 4. Catching practice, worst catcher in world cricket right now 5. Try to be better at captaincy tactics, strategy. Enough of the bloody aggression cliche. I would suggest 'The Art of Captaincy' by Brearley as an initiation.

[Silva]

Lost all respect for gavaskar. He claims selectors will have a headache picking between pujara and nohit to play when vijay and dhawan back. Like it's a 50/50 decision.

[sensible-indian]

Chewts. Chewts all around.

[zen]

Che averages 83 in subcon (Ind, Pak/UAE, & SL) which is highest for anyone w/ 1000+ runs Next best is Sobers with an avg of 76. Of the current batsmen, Amla is next best with 66
