    Richards and Marshall or Ponting and McGrath?

    Kalli was a genius against spin, Lloyd was very good at smothering it and dislodging him with spin was hard. But IVAR and Richardson were not top notch against spin on spin-friendly surfaces, particularly Richardson, who's spin-play had the same streak of hesistation and indecisiveness as...

    Richards and Marshall or Ponting and McGrath?

    I rate him ahead of McGrath too but i personally think it is a lot closer between McGrath and Marshall than Richards and Ponting.

    Richards >>>> Ponting Marshall >= McGrath. THerefore, Richards + Marshall >>> Ponting + McGrath.

    Lara to play test in to his forties

    This is super news. I think Lara should be able to play into his early 40s if the talented but inconsistent batting lineup surrounding him ( potentially, Gayle-Chandrapaul,Sarwan and Lara can be a hall-of-famer batting lineup) starts to deliver. I don't think Lara will be motivated to play for...

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    A poor performance no doubt but a clear fabrication to say that he fixed the match like you implied. Lillee tried to kick Gavaskar too- which is what triggered Gavaskar's actions. If anyone was behaving like a spoilt brat and had a long history of behaving like a spoilt brat, its Lillee. Yes...

    Typical denial mode of saying ' yeah well its all equal'. which is categorically false.

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    Don't see why its so unbelievable, given Social's obvious anti-subcontinental bias. First he accuses Gavaskar of 'throwing' the match- when there is absolutely zero credibility in claiming so. Claiming that Gavaskar 'threw' the match while at the same time backing much more blatant matchfixing...

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    It doesnt change the fact that sports is ultimately entertainment and thus not the end-all-be-all to reduce it to such uncouth levels in the name of 'anything to win' mentality. Ie, its not worth it to go all out nastyness on a sporting pitch. Defies the very definition of a sport in my opinion.

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    a) Is utter falsehood and libel. By that definition, every single Aussie is a cheat. b) Very justified. As i said, if i were in his place, Lillee would be sporting a broken foot for attempting to kick me. c) Nothing racist about that remark d) Nothing wrong with that remark either.

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    False. Gavaskar was not perfect but he was a class ahead of practically any Aussie cricketer out there.

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    No. Winning is secondary to entertainment. Don't lose sight of the big picture- anything and everything is NOT justified in the name of winning and you spouting such nonsense is nothign more than 'if you can't beat em, join em' mentality towards the uncouth Aussie team. And if i were the...

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    This is true and justified because : a) Aussies started it b) Aussies do it way more than others Its called fighting fire with fire. Well done to the Poms. Incorrect and that is just your aussie sentimentality speaking. There aint no double standards or hypocrasy because Sunil is just...

    You can repeat that as many times as you want but it still wont become true.

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    Its called 'straw that broke the camel's back'. The kind of abuse Aussies throw in the middle, the other sides show remarkable restraint as it is. If it were me, i'd have physically injured some of the Aussies if they dared to speak to me in such fashion.

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    Sunil has nothing to be jealous about towards Ponting- he was a far greater batsman than Punter. His points are valid. Can you keep the ***ism confined inside your own home please ??

    Same reason why bullies don't get reported as much - nobody wants to look like a female genital part.

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    steriotypical 'uncouth Aussie' response. I am sorry but there is such a thing called civility. The bar-room mentality belongs inside a bar, not in display to the whole world. If you feel sledging is fine at extreme levels, keep it at your state levels please.

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    Uhh..since when is mid 70s Euro-centric articles become 'a more balanced and realistic view' ?!?

    Sunil blasts the Australians

    Absurd to think otherwise imo. Stupid dumb statements like Ponting has been quoted in that article are dime-a-dozen, disputes umpiring decisions, getting drunk and into fights, etc. really do not fit the character of a cricket captain at international levels. And the issue, as i said before (...
