What relevance is that to a Test side?jagaways said:
Hayden and Langer are an excellent opening pairing, hence the theory of adding them both in.
jagaways said:
But that person shouldn't be opening the innings - Gilchrist can bat like he does because he comes in at 7, not 1.

this is test matches. whats the need to hit 6s and score runs freely. even a 60 ball 30 by parthiv is as valuable as a 15 ball 30 by gilchrist. in test matches, if u can hang on in middle and score runs at over 50% scoring rate, its fine.marc71178 said:
also i havent said that parthiv is better than ratra. i have only said that parthiv is better than gilchrist.

y doesnt anybody c that india were also weakened ???
y is it so ?
y is the international media so aussie-biased ?
aus were without -
warne - total cr@p against india. bowling avg over 52. mcgill better than him.
lee - total joke since he was called for having a suspect action. has been hit for 1/100 in 20 overs, by guess what, teams like bangladesh and zimbabwe and that too in aussie conditions
bracken better than him.
mcgrath - has lost his line and length considerably this year. williams better than him.
this shows that aus were with a full-strength team.
ind were without -
zaheer - 5 wickets in the 1st match and also 2 conscutive 5 wicket hauls against nz in the last 2 tests. he was surely being missed.
harbhajan - turbanated aussies taking 32 wickets in 3 tests on their last tour to india. he was also being missed.
====
overall, it was a weakened indian side, which beat a full-strength aussie side.

Re: y doesnt anybody c that india were also weakened ???
India's only real miss was Harb, and the way he's been performing recently, that is not much of a miss (especially when his replacement took a 5fer)
No, it was not a full strength side by any stretch of the imagination (small matter of an entire bowling attack being unavailable)amits said:

So Parthiv is better than Gilchrist,amits said:
Ratra is better than Parthiv
so by your logic this means, that Ratra is better than Gilchrist.
So Ratra is Better Than Gilchrist???!?!?!?!?
Good God Amit, What in the BLUEST OF BLUE HELLS have you been smoking and what in god's name are you talking about?!?!?!?!?
I think you should quit smoking the whacky tobacci right now. Are you high on weed my friend????
Good Lord Amit, where is your reasoning ????????????
Im a big Parthiv fan and supporter, but he aint better than Gilchrist YET.
Ajay Ratra?!?!?!? What in the hell possesed you to say he is better than Gilchrist and Patel????
DO STATISTICS MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?!?!?!?
I at one stage thought you were fairly intelligent.
For the past 3-4 weeks, I now KNOW that you have to be the most stupidest person, correction....most stupidest and the most un-intelligent cricket fan on the whole of the Internet.
I also NOW KNOW, that you have no cricketing knowledge whatsoever.
Im sure the rest of the 450 + members on Cricketweb.net will agree with me on this.

I am an Indian, and a damn proud one.
But I don't need you Rajat or you Amit, to tell me who I am. Firstly I know myself, God knows me, and I am true to myself.
Thats All That Matters!!!!
All those Indian's you have highlighted, have immigrated to foreign lands at one point or another.
But that idiot, Amit thinks that any Indian who leaves their country is unpatriotic. So are all those Indians in the USA, UK and all unpatriotic???
You both are so misinformed about Patriotism, Its not funny.
Mr Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi studied in Cambridge, England. He resided in South Africa for many, many years. Was the man unpatriotic???!?!?!?!?!?
The great India does not discriminate against its people. The great Indian nation embraces people of all religions and promotes the well being of everyone. You both sing the praises of India, but what have YOU done to add to India's rich history????
You can say all whatever the hell you wan't, but remember actions speak louder than words. Your racist bigotry and fundamentalist views will not get you very far in this world. There is absolutely nothing wrong with immigration, and once again all the people who have made a mark for India have immigrated and worked in foreign lands.
Once again, I am a proud Indian, always have been always will be. But its people like you and Amit who bring the good name of our people and our Cricket history and tradition into the mud.
Shame on both of you.
As an Indian I have nothing more to say to both of you.
Your not Indian, you two are disgraces.
**Completely disgruntled and angry**
Forgive me my fellow posters if I have said anything out of line.

Once more you're knowledge amazes me. Naturally only Gilchrist's last 2 Tests mean anything. That's the only way to judge a player!amits said:

First of all, by replying to this thread, i dont know wat u want to prove. Maybe u want to prove that u r unpatriotic. as this thread was meant for unpatriotic indians. also i never said that the indians who go offshore are unpatriotic..
i have never in this forum said anything against u or any indian, so u dont have the right to say such ludicrous words to me.
By the wat disgrace have i brought by any of my posts. i would like an answer from u about this.
May be i will know what disgrace i have brought to the indian community.

60-ball 30 from Patel is useful to the Indian cause, but a 65-ball 58 would be much more so.amits said:

The point has been made very clearly - this is a cricket forum of an international nature and discussions about what basically amounts to nationalism and ethnic purity under the pretext of 'patriotism' have no place here - or anywhere else for that matter.rajat said:
Kindly keep your remarks to the subject of cricket and everyone will get along fine. Amits is perfectly entitled to protest that India are a better team than Australia, you are perfectly entitled to back him up in those arguments, others are equally entitled to attempt to shoot those arguments down in flames.
Do not ignore this warning, please.

The thing is rajat and I am not going to lay any blame on you because I have not read many of your post's but people do get sick of some of the crazy Indian supporters who come here every so often and just make redicules comment's about there team and how "they are better than Australia" or "Tendulkar is better than Bradman" or "Parthiv Petal is better than Gilchrist" and so on.
It's just down right agrivating to here souch nonsense. We know you guys are passionate about your team but It seem's alot of you (hope I am not genralising here) go a little to far.

u are a complete fool. that was the most ridiculous post i've ever read. if u get aggravated by people stating their opinions, then go home and have a cry in your bed. this is forum is all about ppl sharing their opinions! and do me a favour, go back to primary school and learn HOW TO SPELL. jeez..my lil sister is 10 and she makes less spelling errors than u. i mean come on...agrivating? genralising? redicules?
anyway..a couple of my opinions for the day (for eclipse's benefit)
India is better than Australia
Tendulkar is better than Bradman
Parthiv Patel is better than Gilchrist

Amit, i hope you are joking for your sake.If you are indeed joking, then your jokes are not being taken well. I remember you saying that you come here to make patriotic posts which means you are saying this knowing that they are false or not going to happen. You are being more unpatriotic than patriotic. You represent India here and by making such posts , the people from other countries get bad opinion on you and that transfers to India too. Also stop including " patriotic " in every other message you post, it gets annoying.amits said:
