***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

[Spikey]

main thing to criticise haddin about re that is that he told the media it today instead of telling howard on monday (or maybe he did tell him that)

I was only trying to pass on coaching tips for India's benefit ftr.

Burgey I think you should apply for the position once Fletcher gets sacked tbh

 

[silentstriker]

Tbf he probably meant he feels mentally drained, not physically tired.

So basically what he's saying is that he has folded.

I think there is an age limit for that

 

[honestbharani]

I think there is an age limit for that

yes and Burgey is like 100 years above it. So he is totally qualified.

Again; from all that hard work? It really doesn't make a difference.

Another timely article in 'Inside Sport' by Brett Geeves means I'm now very interested in seeing how Sehwag captains the team in the 4th test. Seems they didn't get along...

 

[Spark]

Explain?

 

[Jono]

That's twice Geeves has pointed out he doesn't like Viru.

Viewing my CW at 40 PPP, this is the 332nd page of this thread, and I think there might be three of them which don't have an age-related joke on them.

Kudos to you all.

is there one on this page Burgey, you old ****?

 

[Spikey]

there is but he's already forgotten it

 

[TumTum]

Still 4 more days till 4th Test, wtf too long

 

[Jayzamann]

And it starts on a Tuesday. What the everloving ****.

ed: should say, it should be going on right now, or started yesterday.

 

[Spark]

To be completely fair everyone takes most of the Aus Day week off anyway, so that's hardly an issue.

 

[Jayzamann]

Will the match even still be going on Aus Day though?

srsly though don't remember the last time it was an Aus Day test. It's normally the Comm Bank series in full swing at this time.

 

[Spark]

Last India series, I'd say - it had a very similar schedule to this one.

More because of the immense pressure on him to keep his place in the side, like he mentioned in the first paragraph of his article.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Explain?

Basically he thought Sehwag's captaincy was ****house. Apparently Virender told Geeves where he wanted him to bowl despite the match situation indicating another approach might be required. When Geeves tried to set the field he wanted Sehwag over-ruled him and Geeves wasn't pleased. Geeves wanted to bowl it up in the blockhole and Virender wanted it bowled in the slot (according to Geeves).

It's hard to comprehend how tough this job can be for an out of favour cricketer. I can hardly remember a day over this summer without Haddin being discussed in the media. Imagine for months on end having to face questioning on when you expect to turn your form around or face questions on how you compare to Paine, Wade or even Gilchrist.

I don't want him in the side anymore, however to mock how mentally exhausted Haddin must be feeling shows a lack of understanding for the pressures faced by a professional cricketer.
