It should be, but the same old question of which middle-order player to drop will return!jamesryfler said:Parthiv played quite well for his 69.
However I hope India do not pursue the idea of him as a regular opener.
It hopefully should be Sehwag and Chopra again who walk out to face the Aussies in the
first test of next season.
Don't you know? For India to lose any game to Pakistan - and that goes for cricket, hockey, snooker or clay-pigeon shooting, the umpires must have been (voice fades into distance).Mecnun said:There you go talking c**p again. Same club level cricketers beat your gods last test match so what does that say about Indian team?Dont you ever learn?
Dravid and Patel did not have any probs facing those balls...Lions81 said:Shoaib Akhtar is scary as hell. His balls get quicker and quicker as the over and his spell goes on. The last ball before tea was 96 mph. That is insane. He is regularly bowling at 95 mph. I feel bad for the batsmen.
Also, let me reiterate my desire to see Tendulkar dropped in the lineup. 6 is looking a good spot for him.
That was just a nasty delivery. Really nothing he could do I suppose if he wasn't intent on defending it from the very beginning.Sehwag309 said:Lions81, what do you think about that delivery from Shoaib to Laxman
Why? He's done well under pressure. Sure, Chopra's done a good job, but Patel's done a better job. And if he can handle the physical strains, whats the problem?jamesryfler said:Parthiv played quite well for his 69.

Why move your best batsman away from where he performs best?Proud Indian said:Ganguly should give Tendulkar a chance...let him open for a few games for a while.

Snooker, Yes..Long time played that game . Indian bloke beat Pakistani last time-around in some championship, I guess thats the new arch-rivalry now..luckyeddie said:Don't you know?

Seriously, some people just have no grace whatsoever. It sickens me when such a childish 'yah boo sucks' attitude prevails from some quarters.
I'm torn between ridiculing them and just ignoring them - but seeing as I've ignored a few in the last day or two, it's time for a quick bit of ridicule.
I only have to look at the fans in the stadia, mixing together, supporting their teams but carrying a message to the world that they are united in their love of their sport. Then I look at certain posts (not all - sometimes they talk sense, well, a little) by certain people and I just pray for that meteorite which we are promised will ultimately wipe out mankind - sometimes it seems a fair swap.
With injuries ,Tony Blade said:hehe maybe we'll pull an England
No, you said that after thrashing Pakistan (if you indeed do, which looks likely, but you can never tell, Pakistan have come back from similar positions recently) you'd move into 3rd above England as well.ajaagarkarajaaja said:LOL! what you are saying is utter rubbish, and whatever you posted was IRRELEVANT! I said after India beats Pak in the last match only THEN they will over-take Pakistan in world test ranking !
How does he get one up?tooextracool said:well you actually responded to it so what does that make you?garbage man
