***Official*** India in Australia

[Prince EWS]

Prince, Prince.....

Yeah, excellent retort yet again.

 

[Matt79]

So warn him, ban him, whatever - this is direing up an otherwise good thread.

 

[NUFAN]

RP Singh >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Agarkar.

Yeah fair enough. I actually meant it as two seperate questions..

Wanting to know a guy who can do more then RP, and I wanted to know what is going on with Agarkar.

I want a right handed pace bowler to come in for RP.

Well, there's Sreesanth and Munaf, but they're both injured and pretty unreliable in general. Sharma is on tour but he doesn't really have a patch on RP at this stage of his career.

Agarkar is playing domestic . He was not selected because of poor outing against England Series. But, He did well when India last toured Australia. I dont know how much he could have performed had if he been selected for the Australian tour.

But, yes RP singh is far better than Agarkar on current form

 

[Evermind]

No. I also speak negative about India. Criticised them not taking singles earlier.

Well I feel pretty sorry for India. Even if they played the game of their lives they'd still lose
- they just lack the sheer ability to beat Australia. Most teams do, but the Indian team moreso, and largely because of the lack of atheleticism and mental fragility. So can't say much about that.

****. You call people idiots, called Indian fans fascists before and are now pre judging and calling me a fascist. Don't see why you have not been warned or banned yet.

Once again, I was called an "idiot" unprovoked TWICE by Jono - if anyone should be banned, it's him.

I called Indian fans fascists because the moment their precious little team is criticised, they're all up in arms about it. Australians don't do it, the English don't do it, even Pakistanis don't do it. So why are the Indian fans so desperate to defend their team such that anyone who criticises it immediately has to be silenced and banned? Pathetic!

 

[Evermind]

RP Singh >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Agarkar.

YES. Please, please...do not bring Agarkar back. Ask Ganguly to open with Zaheer if necessary, but don't bring Agarkar back.

 

[Nate]

Billy! Far out you duffer.

EDIT: Fair enough, either way.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Was going over imo. I wouldn't have given it.

 

[Raghav]

Oh! For a moment I thought who is Billy?

I use Bowden...

Unrelated to the point I countered you with.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Crying against Jono doesn't make you calling people idiots right. Neither does it give you the right to call Indian fans fascists.

Indian fans are pretty critical about their team. As I mentioned, every one has several different opinions. I didn't see you praise Anil for analysing Dravid or Silent Striker for saying our batting has been weak or Honestbharani's posts or a criticism Sanz or I make. Your judgement is very much wrong and pretty stupid. Then, you ****ing start calling people fascists. That is what is ****ing pathetic.

 

[Evermind]

Well Sreesanth is a lot more reliable than Munaf, FWIW, and actually has a stomach for a fight. Munaf still dwells in schoolyard reality.

 

[pup11]

What sort of an innings was it from Dravid it was almost like watching Dravid of old who use to struggle to rotate the strike and get his innings moving, clearly very disappointed to see a class player like him struggle like this.

Yeah, but you wouldn't give a dying orphan a used tissue on Christmas Day.

Captain.

 

[Raghav]

Dravid has developed a shell from which he tried all today morning to come out. He came in to bat in this test with a negative mindset. He thought to hold on end and the other batsman would do the scoring, but which did not happen and the pressure was on the team totally...

Yeah, such a class player being struggling for form when the team much needs him is really a pathetic situation.

 

[NUFAN]

Well Sreesanth is a lot more reliable than Munaf, FWIW, and actually has a stomach for a fight. Munaf still dwells in schoolyard reality.

Yeah I would pick Sreesanth if he's fit.

RP didn't look too bad I guess, just thinking if there is a time on a bouncy wicket like at the WACA where 3 fast bowlers might be required.

Can anyone see any Tests where India will leave out Harbajhan?

 

[Matt79]

Well he's clearly horribly out of form, so its not like that was his deliberate game plan or what have you. Still think he looks like he could come good this tour and make a big hundred, and y'know maybe help India to a win at some stage. If Yuvraj doesn't do anything decent in this innings, there has to be some thought to dropping Dravid down to 6 and putting in Sehwag up to open I'd have guessed?

 

[Pratters]

On a more bouncy pitch with assistance to the faster men, there is more chance of another pacer playing in place on Harbhajan than not.

I dont think so he would be left out for the next tests. He looked good in the 2nd inns and Indians always love to operate with two spinners in tests

 

[Evermind]

Unrelated to the point I countered you with.

What was the point you countered with? That there are others who also criticise the indian team? So...what'm I supposed to say? Why're you picking on Raghav then?

Two wrongs don't make a right. Crying against Jono doesn't make you calling people idiots right. Neither does it give you the right to call Indian fans fascists.

Then give your little moral lesson to Jono, not to me. "He started it".

Indian fans are pretty critical about their team. As I mentioned, every one has several different opinions. I didn't see you praise Anil for analysing Dravid or Silent Striker for saying our batting has been weak or Honestbharani's posts or a criticism Sanz or I make.

Their criticism is always half-hearted/peripheral and doesn't identify the real problem with the Indian team, which is in fact lack of fight and sheer complacency. This causes problems in every aspect of the game, which are just symptoms of the real disease. I praise only SJS because in some of the posts in the Ind/Pak series, he identified this problem and talked about it.

Your judgement is very much wrong and pretty stupid. Then, you ****ing start calling people fascists. That is what is ****ing pathetic.

Aahaha. Whatever higher moral ground you had has been completely razed by this little display. Pretty sad.
