    Hmm, avatar bet? India make 300 - you use a picture of Yuvraj with the words "test class" for a week. Otherwise, you choose mine.

    Players that you hate XI

    Based on those vote tallies, here's our Hate XI: Vaughan (c), Warner, Ponting, Pietersen, Clarke, Bell, Symonds, Haddin, Harbhajan, Harmison, Powell Bowling issues but a decent side otherwise.

    Would you drop Mark Boucher from Tests right now?

    Unless Kuhn is ready and Boucher's poor form continues for a few more series, no.

    ***Official India in New Zealand***

    Sure, but this is not a ODI or T20 - simply bowling it wide (Vettori to Sehwag) or flighting it up (Patel to Gambhir) isn't anything special on its own, unless you expect opposition opening batsmen facing a huge deficit to try to take you to the cleaners. Even if it was clever bowling, it was...

    Guess you can call it clever given Sehwag's natural aggression, but for me it was just a standard delivery from Vettori. Similarly, Patel flighted it well today but it was still Gambhir throwing away his wicket more than anything special from Jeets IMO. Anyways, my point was more that it...

    Unless India's batsmen go crazy, it's still a draw IMO. Sehwag and Gambhir got out due to extra aggression (not good deliveries), whereas Dravid and Tendulkar didn't seem too troubled by these bowlers on this pitch. NZ need to strike early tomorrow and then India will really be under the gun.

    Tendulkar? I would've sent Zaheer here.

    IIRC, Dravid was at first, Laxman at second, Yuvraj at third and Sehwag (and Gambhir when we had a 3-2 cordon) at gully. Yuvraj definitely needs to work on his slip catching but Gambhir occasionally does the job for Delhi so I'm surprised he wasn't the first option. Sehwag probably got fooled...

    I said that Sehwag prefers gully (because he usually fields there), not that he's inferior to Yuvraj or Gambhir in the slips.

    Either Yuvraj or Gambhir has to field at slip if Sehwag wants three slips and two gullies, since Tendulkar hurt his finger and Sehwag prefers gully.

    TS Sekhar of the MRF Pace Foundation claimed that Munaf bowls around 145 kph and may hit 150 kph with further development. On debut, he regularly bowled in the low 140s so it wasn't much of a let-down. Sure, there may have been idiots claiming that Munaf is India's Akhtar but the only credible...

    Yeah, we hear it there first just about every time India go out to bat.

    FFS Yuvraj, learn to catch.

    As lucky as Vettori's ton was, Taylor's done his best to match that. Ryder has looked solid however, deserves another ton here.
  16. adharcric

    ***Official India in New Zealand***

    He's not really a slip fielder though and it showed in his technique there. Tendulkar is out of the slips with that finger issue so you can't blame Yuvraj too much. That said, Gambhir is a better slipper so I'd prefer Yuvraj at gully with Sehwag.

    Haha wow, here we go again.

    Ridiculous, why the **** don't they have reviews here?

    What's wrong with the article, apart from the fact that you have a serious problem with the Indian team encountering success? I hope India win by a landslide and Monga writes more of these just so you vomit and kindly shut the **** up. :cool:

    Yeah, sounds quite shady but Pont's putting his credibility on the line and he's a relatively well-known coach so there may be something in it. As SS said, I'll be pleased with 90 mph as long as he isn't all over the place.
