Fake batsmen in Indian ODI team
Typical DK stuff.
A bit of nudge here and there.
Few runs in the belt.
And then a poke at the ball outside off stump.
Dismissed.
The dude wards off to the pavillion shaking his head as if he was planning smthin great and got out accidentally.
Fake dancer cum wicketkeeper.
And what about that asshole Rohit Sharma ? Any more proof needed he is a waste to be dumped in dustbin ? I dont have words more to mention on this 2 useless people who are in the team just cos they are young and they hail from states which have had chief selectors.
Dhoni should now awake and realise that he is carrying an useless piece of dirt in the team who dazzles in club cricket, glows up in ads n fashion shows and fails at highest level. Pissing rat!!
DK to replace Beeru ?
Raj and Prabu(h missing) would be happier men for a while.
Not quite endemic for India
Reason behind WI series
4 ODIs then, 4 ODIs now. Before world cup then, after world cup now.
And yes that series was last time BC Lara played official international cricket last time in India. Its a pity that he didnt play a Test in India after 1994. Blame it on the scare tours WI make to India. 1983, 1988, 1994, 2002. 4 times in my life time.
Fuckin Rohit Sharma!!
Starting Xi : India vs WI
Openers : Gambhir and Vijay
They have never played together in any format. Vijay was replacement for Gauti when latter was banned against Australia in the test series. Providing a good start would be key for Gambhir and Vijay. More onus woud be on Gambhir as senior partner. Replacing Sehwag is not a mean task you see. Now its upto you to decide Vijay is replacement for Sehwag or Tendulkar. Replacing Tendulkar ….
Middle Order :
Dhoni, Yuvraj, Sharma, Pathan, Jadeja
Bowlers :
RP, Nehra, Harbhajan and Ojha/ Ishant.
Actually opening with Yusuf wont be a bad idea. Take Windies with surprise. i dont quite support the idea of fixed batting order. It has helped us in ODIs in NZ and SL, so why discontinue with it now. It worked for us 7 out of 10 times. So why change just for one failure in England.
Last 9 ODIs India have won 4 and lost 5. To cut down even more, out of last 4 India has won 3 and lost 1. Prior to 2007 world cup. Painful memories.
Where Sri Lanka erred and the return of ODIs
Besides over reliance on Dilshan proved costly. Blabba king failed. Simple dolly to Younis. Talking high is different and implementing those high things is different. Besides Matthews and Sanga the batting let down the Lankans and yesterday mystery of Mendis went off for a vacation.
Mendis isnt proving effective against teams who have played him more often. India and Pakistan are examples.
All in all it was another false dawn for SL as they had an unbeaten streak throughout and got punctured in the final when it mattered the most.
With this final, the T20 overdose ends and we now switch to ODI cricket starting in West Indies where Indians script their comeback. And then the talk of the season — Ashes. England declare their pre-Ashes squad today. It would also be a d-day for Michael Vaughan.
By the way this Indian team has broken the jinxes associated with it everywhere it has gone. It beat Pakistan in India first time in a home series in 2007, won CB series in Australia first time, won back to back ODI series in SL and then 33 year draught in New Zealand. West Indies has some painful memories for India. 1-4 defeat in 2006 followed by ODI World cup loss. Besides India has won just 1 of the 5 bilateral ODI series in Carribean. So this is another chance for Indians to set the record right and return back to winning ways before embarking on a well deserved break.
Selectors err it.
Nayar is another just for a tour selection. He is one guy who chokes at big stage like Raina. IPL proved it.
Ashish Nehra is rightly back.
The core players should have been rested. And it would have been apt that the IPL successful stars should have been sent with Badrinath as non-playing captain. The flared egos would have been softened.
