India need 11 Bowlers :) and 11 batsman

.
"Needed at least 11 bowlers in indian team", says Dravid. "We were 20-30 run short." ohooooooo ekdum pakau statement hai......

Are thoda bharosa dikhao Pathan pe ..... Apne ko bhi thoda rest do, Dravid. Yaar, koi ise goli maar do, ya phir haath-pair thod do.... thoda rest mil jayega...... itna pakau captaincy aajtak kisi ne nahi kiya hoga ..

Dhoni

Regarding Dhoni, I don't know who got this weird idea of making him Captain. How can a person, who managed 2 ducks (0 run) in world cup and showed India the exit door, be made Captain? How will he motivate his team, will be good to watch. Neither he ever lead a team in domestic cricket nor he looks like a motivator. Wicketkeeper captain is rarity in world cricket. His wicket keeping prowess is also under scrutiny. He is yet to face the Down Under music. His inability to handle the swinging and fast ball, is exposed in 1 ODI vs England. But we can not ignore his heroics on flat pitches where Kumble can hit century[:)]. If we think performance and motivation is criteria for captain, then Yuvraj is far ahead of him. Since he was in Dravid's camp and Yuvraj in Ganguly's, he was favored for captain shoe.

After Ganguly era, BCCI don't want to take a chance with aggressive captain, because this can backfire. They want meek, silent person who can obey their orders and do not ask question. Whether India loose or win, they are going to win.

But as a spectator, we can find the energy and intensity of each player on the field has reduced dramatically in Dravid's captaincy. Everybody used to be on their toes in Ganguly time. Extracting best out of everybody was Ganguly's trademark. Dravid is a Rambharose captain. same is going to be the case with Dhoni, unless he got some flat tracks.

Number 3 needed

Irfan Pathan is the perfect foil for Number 3 position. He is the best left-handed batsman in India with Yuvraj . With solid defensive technique and big hitting ability, he is best suited for this position. He can bowl as well and a very good fielder. He is a proven match winner. People are crying foul over his bowling being destroyed by his batting. He is a victim of Dravid's captaincy. If Ganguly were the captain, situation would have been totally different.

1 ODI

Yuvraj, Piyush will be India's main weapon while Flintoff will be England's.


Since this is the 1st ODI, chances are 50-50 for both the teams.

20-20

Hello Cricket Lovers.

This is time for a change. 20-20 entered into the arena with much hype and madness. World cricket is feeling the heat created by 20-20, mainly ICL. A lot of discarded and old players is going to make a huge amount of money. This is also going to affect the salary of domestic players. We have to wait and watch, how far this ICL and 20-20 can go.

Let me tell you that ICL is not going to help to improve cricket infrastructure in India or abroad. This is only beneficial for Ranji or international players. ICL is acting like Parasite. Indian mentality is such that we do not watch a cricket match unless Team India is playing a international match with their stars. We even leave match in middle, when our star get out, then how this effort of ICL is going to retain the Indian public, that has to be seen.

This stir was very much needed to provide India, a new star. Stars always emerge in time of crisis. We are wondering for a long time, who will fill up the shoes of the likes of once a great now stale and stinky Sachin and Rahul and Kumble, time has come.
