*Official* Match 25 - India v Netherlands

[TT Boy]

Every pundit has rightly made us odds on favourites to win this match, that takes the pressure off us, and puts it on them.

Haha. What a joker.

Well appointing coaches and fitness staff based on qualifications instead of whose son it is would be a start.

In the meantime, I'd just send every Indian bowler over to county cricket and pay them to train the bowlers.

Fire Prasad.

Yes, considering how much improvement we saw in Zaheer after that one season in county cricket. Why aren't we sending guys like Ishant, Sreesanth, and Munaf over there? Especially before the series against England coming up this summer.

I mean you'd think Zaheer would mentor and convince Ishant and the rest to invest in a season of county cricket, but it boggles my mind as to why that hasn't been the case. I mean Zaheer came back a completely different bowler.

Same question @ Australia, really. I'm guessing a packed schedule precludes playing even a portion of a county season which is disappointing.

I certainly think 450 is on and if we apply ourselves possibly 500.

This thread(+ RTD ) almost makes me want Netherlands to win.

 

[biased indian]

hopefully ashwin play today and take some wickets..so that we don't have to see chawla for rest of the tournament

 

[Shri]

I would break Chawla's neck if I were Ashwin and if I don't get a game today.

India will rip the dutch a new hole ,but it would be awesome if Sehwag is on 99,attempts to get his century off a six,and is caught on the boundary

Every fanbase has some idiots, get on with the business of supporting your team.

I always thought Teja was indian

Fire Prasad.

What's that going to do? The problem isn't there.

 

[Blaze 18]

I always thought Teja was indian

He only supports India when Sreesanth plays.

I always thought Teja was indian

Ofcourse Teja is an Indian supporter online but he he is SA supporter on the offline.

If only bookies gave the type of odds CW polls implied .

The bookies haven't met Dhoni_Fan.

 

[silentstriker]

Oddly, his odds are closer to the actual odds than this poll which has Netherlands as the favorites.

Usually you find the counties actually get a say in who they want to sign, rather than have players forced upon them.

That said, IIRC counties did try to sign a few Indians last season and the BCCI refused them permission. Can't remember who it was, but don't think any of the quicks were in the list though.
