Great first session again.
Mishra Half century, wow. Impressed with the way this fella is batting.
Sachin is just 28 away..

 

[sujoyp]

U r talking about mishra...its like finding a positive point in the sea of negativity

I am truly impressed by all england batsmans upto stuart broad ....they all made half centuries and centuries...
even bresnen made 2 half centuries and england made 3 double centuries in 4 matches...wow

------------------------------------------

Ok so india lost again by inning and 8 runs...after mishra got out all other players got out quickly

So we have lost 0-4 and with 3 matches by an inning+runs

 

[ithehappy]

Yes, 0-4, England whitewashed the World Champions.
Just an effect of IPL, lack of actual practice, commitment and over confidence. Just see the way Dravid batted, he didn't look out of form for a single moment. But all the others did. A whole team can't have bad time, but some players can.
Anyway, lets see how we perform in the ODI's.

 

[sujoyp]

I dont know but I think sehwag, harbhajan, gambhir, yuvraj, zaheer , ishant sharma are not playing ODI

soo from the main team we have only tendulkar, dravid,raina,dhoni, srishant...

some new players have been called rahane and aroon...lets see

 

[Ronnie11]

gambhir is not playing??i thought he was selected....varun aaron looks like a good prospect..a good ol fashioned fast bowler...

Problem is after IPL and particularly winning the World Cup, these guys have little motivation to play test cricket. Also most of their bodies cannot take the rigors of 5 days of continuous cricket. Zaheer Khan is a case in point. BCCI should realize this as early as possible, and choose the players accordingly. Losses are a part of game, even whitewash is OK, but the absolute lack of planning and preparation is what hurts. Sehwag was fit to play the last 2 tests but not the ODIs, Harbhajan is carrying an injury, but cleared to play Champions League for MI. WTH!!!

How can Sehwag be fit for the tests but not the ODI's? He was never match fit for the English tour. Now he will go back home and do some ads instead of conditioning his body to become fit and resting.

Then the question arises, why he was selected in the first place. And none of our players do off-season conditioning, which is one of the important aspects of a sportsperson. Look at R P Singh, he looks like fish out of water. What he was doing all this time, particularly after performing well in IPL, he should have kept himself fit and waiting for the chances?

Correct and agreed. Also R.P. Singh looked all lost.

But dont worry, our team will soon have a home series, score tons of runs and win handsomely and all will be forgotten.

If any team performs poorly against West Indies, or West Indies perform well against any team, then it's a sure-shot sign, that team is on a downward spiral.

 

[sujoyp]

Now gambhir have blurred vision problem...he cant judge line and lenght

Epic photos!!

 

[Skud]

Particularly needed at this time.

 

[sujoyp]

Yaah really after seeing them in those pics I feel we will get back to track very soon..

But really they need rest for some days...dhoni also have soar palm..he should also take rest and give pathivpatel wicketkeeping

 

[thetechfreak]

Man IPL needs change. Its destroying cricket according to me

 

[sujoyp]

And even we say IPL is a curse....then y did we loose 20-20 too...they must have practiced 20-20 in IPL

The actual thing is cricket is earning too much and players are becoming filmi hero rather then players..they are becomming fat, slow, always think twice before diving so that they dont get hurt...
