If ANYONE picks Johnson for their Series XI, they clearly did not watch the matches. He generally bowled poorly and picked up wickets off bad deliveries. Watson bowled so much better than him it's not funny.

I don't blame Lalit Modi. I'd check it out too. Oh, to be a Kings XI player running towards the pavillion after hitting the winning runs...

I wouldn't expect Pankaj Dharmani, Wilkin Mota, Ajitesh Argal or those other two to be too positive even about this co-owner of the team...

Likewise, SRK will also be five fans lighter...although one is showing clearly what his team missed by scoring triple hundreds in quick succession.

David Hopps replies to Matt Hayden's comments that India is a third world country

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2008/nov/14/englandinindia200809-englandcricketseries

November 14: Matthew Hayden has wasted no time on his return to Australia in dismissing India as a ''third world country'' - a slight that has not gone unnoticed here. There is no official definition of what exactly constitutes a third-world country but as yet no official study has yet to suggest, unlike Hayden, that it is defined by the number of people moving around behind the sightscreen.

You have to hand it to Matty Hayden, he certainly has an old-fashioned way of looking at things. He lives under the impression that the minute he gets back to Queensland the world stops listening, he can reel off a few redneck opinions and go fishing. But these days the world is so small that no sanctuary remains. Not even Brisbane. (If even one Australian rails about this last line then it will just help to prove my point).

India, of course, is not ''a third-world country''. India, as we have all been taught, is a ''land of contradictions.'' It is a land that can pay Hayden US$375,000 to play for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League then irritate him when it takes half-an-hour to move a sightscreen

Harbhajan Singh, or the "sneering Sikh" as he was characterised in the Australian press, continues his post-series gloating

Hah, I haven't cared what Hayden has said for a bunch of months now - since the Indian tour of Australia, he's a moron anyway. In India (as Langeveldt said about SA), you can drive through streets lined with BMWs or towns with millions of people not having running water or basic sanitation. Up to you how you characterize it. It doesn't matter, let him call it whatever he wants, for whatever reason he wants to.

Well, we know Harby's a complete tosser. Ignore him too. I hope the BCCI shut him up for good. If not, he'll find a way to get himself banned anyway. He'll slap the wrong guy or something.

I thought it was the job of an economist, not a cricketer. And if Hayden feels so, he has no qualms of coming here every April for the IPL and to beg his payment.

So who cares what he said? Let him. Just ignore it. If he is right, then fine. If he is not, then fine. It really doesn't require making a fuss over anyway. He can think what he wants.

Look, IPL is a business. Most people, regardless of their opinion of a country, would not turn down that much cash. You don't have to like a country to do business there. :)

Basically, I don't really pay attention to what comes out of Hayden's mouth anyway. Do you listen to what Harbhajan says? I doubt it. If it was someone whose opinion I respected, then it'd be worth it to discuss.
