    ***Official*** England in India

    If Rohit goes to the Champions Trophy and fails, maybe we'll be rid of him finally. Nah, who am I kidding, they'll find some other way to give him 50 more games. Can't believe Rahane doesn't get an extended run in the eleven and can't believe Tiwary didn't get picked for these last 2 games.

    ***Official*** Indian Domestic Thread 2012/13

    Jadeja still in the top 10 despite missing most the season, damn. Sid Kaul and Ishwar Pandey should really be the first names on the next India A tour, probably Sandeep Sharma if fit too. Kaul's been impressive in this semi-final, although it looks likely that Saurashtra will get through.

    ***Official*** England in India

    Damn, great partnership between Dhoni and Jadeja. Jadeja needs to play shots like that more, instead of trying to muscle the ball 75% of the time like he does in the IPL, would be more successful as a finisher that way. Wasn't very good bowling though.

    ***Official*** England in India

    Rahane's not in the best nick right now, you can see it with the way he's batting. He's also throwing away starts with stupid shots. This is why you don't keep a player on the sidelines with him playing little to no cricket while being in top form for a long while. We did this with Tyagi too, he...

    ***Official*** Indian Domestic Thread 2012/13

    UP have turned the match around on Services, damn! Great match, and the only one being played at a neutral venue. Manish Pandey's got a century off 124 balls with Karnataka in a spot of bother. Wasn't too pleased with his inclusion, given he's battling an elbow injury(and has been pretty much...

    *Official* - India in West Indies

    I just opened this thread to post the same thing. :laugh: Impressed by Simmons, but he really needs to convert more of these starts. Especially with Gayle and Barath returning to the team at some point in the near future(or at least I'd expect them to return soon enough).

    *Official* Indian Premier League 2011

    Superb catch from Mithun a few minutes ago. He really needs to work on his bowling in the shorter forms though. Good prospect in the longer form. Yet another gem from Gayle. Has any batsman been able to keep such a consistent run of form in any T20 tournament? Exceptional stuff. Good hand from...

    *Official* Indian Premier League 2011

    Iqbal Abdulla is so winning that U-23 Player of the Tournament award. Superb tournament from him. I suppose Kohli could win it too, but yeah, I'm gunning for Abdulla. Cracking pull shot from Pandey earlier against Lee, had so much time to play that. But, his left arm spinner weakness came into...

    This is going to be a massacre of the highest order. Wow. Insane stuff.

    India's Upcoming Batsman - How do you rate them?

    Pandey's major strength is how well he bats in a pressure situation in the FC format. He's done it several times in the Ranji Trophy - the most significant knock being the Ranji Final in 2010 of course. Sometimes, he might not look very pretty, but he manages to grind it out on tracks where most...

    *Official* Indian Premier League 2011

    Pune getting their shiz together. Pandey looks better(except the start, but he's always been a bad starter from what I've seen of him). Needs to work on his offside play a bit. Tries the cut shot sometimes when it's way too close to his off stump. Also, major props to Munaf Patel. Has been...

    Horrid scheduling. Pune have played 3 in the last 6 days. Top knock from Sehwag on a difficult track.

    Wow. Ishant beasting it today. Impressive. 5-fer in 2 overs, wow!

    *Official* Indian Premier League 2011

    Manish Pandey is much better at the longest format. His batting in List A cricket annoys me. He's got all the shots, yet he tries and plays the slog too often in T20 and List A cricket. Comes off sometimes of course, but it isn't the best decision to make when you can play other shots...

    *Official* Indian Premier League 2011

    Seems likely. Pandey's out for one more game. Once he's back, it should be Pandey and NMac in, while Smith and one of the Indian players sit out. Top stuff from UV, but Delhi just managed to pull that off at the end. So all teams have wins now I think, and everyone has a loss too.

    *Official* Indian Premier League 2011

    They should really play Goswami as their keeper. Shreevats Goswami > Bisla, afaic. Their team balance looks great though. Iqbal Abdulla is a great signing, especially on the back of his recent domestic form, plus he's like a better version of Ravindra Jadeja.

    Lolkata. Choking yet again. Idiotic shot from Manoj Tiwary though. Really should've carried KKR home. Was playing so well until that shot.

    2015 World Cup: 10 teams and no associates

    Signed. Ridiculous decision from the ICC. As far as I'm concerned, the competition is no longer a "World" Cup.

    *Official* - Final - India v Sri Lanka

    Also Sreesanth has a T20WC winner's medal and now, a CWC winner's medal! And he played in both finals! Luckiest man ever? Definitely one of the luckiest cricketers out there.

    *Official* - Final - India v Sri Lanka

    "Tendulkar has carried the burden of nation for 21 years...it was time we carried him." - Virat WAG Kohli. Couldn't have said it better! So happy right now. For Sachin. For Dhoni. For Kirsten. For the whole team, the staff and all the Indians all over the world. The streets over here in Dubai...
