Which is the best onedayer team in the world? I guess it gotta be England

There are three top team right now India, Aus and SA. India was the best team in the CT just last month,which is suppose 2 be the second biggest tour after WC.
A full fledge Indian team with Sachin & Khan will have as much chance as Aus (if not higher) to win the WC!

And they say we are optimistic...:rolleyes:

Yeah! He will more than cover up for the absence of Tendulkar, Ganguly & Khan.

Ganguly and Khan yes...but I doubt he can quite cover Tendulkar :saint:

Oh, but he can. You are just underestimating the guy, you know. The kind of confidence the Indian team management reposes on Ajit, I don't think they do on Sachin.8D8D

 

[masterblaster]

Ajit Agarkar surely is some enigma and as marc put it, a person who brings in a lot of opinions.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

The Indian team :

D Mongia, V Sehwag, VVS Laxman, *+R Dravid, Yuvraj Singh,
M Kaif, SB Bangar, RS Sodhi, J Srinath, M Kartik, AB Agarkar.


Well Mongia came in in ganguly's absence, sodhi came in for harbajan wow suprise move there... and agarkar for balaji

India did well at the start too good i must say W.I were reeling in at 50/4 at one stage

Good bowling from Agarkar , yes i give him credit you dont see that often and Murali Kartik i praised him last series in my news and i praise him again 3 wickets was what he got , maybe he will prove useful overseas to take Kumbles place ?

Well right now Chanderpaul and Powell are settling in something the Indian bowlers shouldnt let happen, dont give the game away

W.I scorecard

Gayle 27 Out Kartik :wow: :wow: :wow:
Chanderpaul 42 N.O
Powell 29 N.O

Agarkar 6-1-13-1
Kartik 7-1-17-3

Why hasnt Sodhi been used yet i wonder ?!

 

[masterblaster]

Fantastic Bowling by the Indians
Bangar, Agarkar, Kartik bowled brilliantly.
Agarkar is only conceeding 2.5 an over currently, which is outstanding, and Bangar almost got a hat-trick.

Good captaincy by Dravid and has used his bowlers well. Ajit has picked up some groove after his haul in the Ranji Trophy which is good to see.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

Yup dravid shows why he is the man most times hes doing , keeping , batting , and captain'ing fantastic stuff except

why in the world didnt sodhi bowl?? why was he brought in the game for ? cant be for his batting alone ?!

for a change india bowled w.i to a total of 200 something that hasnt been seen in the series so far
9-1-24-3 for agarkar fine performance
10-2-39-2 for bangar good job to him
10-1-36-3 nice work for kartik for playing the spinner role

Now hopefully the batting does well as it has been all this series

 

[Gotchya]

It has been a well fought series. The finale should be equally good. I back India to take it from here.

 

[Anil]

Bangar should have been the man of the match instead of Agarkar. 2 wickets, 2 catches and a crucial 38 ball 32. These are of high significance especially in a low-scoring game.

Anyway, the last match has all the makings of a thriller.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Seems like it was the first bowlers' pitch of the series to me... and that Bangar has played himself into the WC XV.

The "final" ought to be a cracker... but you know cricket, it'll be a right anticlimax. One team will capitulate (probably the chasers..)

Come on West Indies

Trying to wind us Indians up....Neil?

 

[lord_of_darkness]

I back India up and they certainly have the capacity to win...

But they have let me down on that a lot of times...

It will be a real cracker of a final

 

[vandemataram]

India haven't lost a SINGLE onedayer series this year!! If they do beat the WI team, then they will probably end this year without a single series defeat!!

They must be the hot fav's for the WC, one hell of a side with quality batters, bowlers and allrounders

 

[ajaagarkarajaaja]

Solid performance by Ajit Agarkar, once again he has proved his crictics wrong.

Bangar has done well with the bat since some time and he did well with the ball too this time.Right now Indian team looks very good, they just have to improve the running b/w the wkts and the fielding, with that they can reach the glorious height of the game!!

I would say that Bangar has infact played himself into the '03 WC champion team!

Over-reaction yet again - they still have to go to SA don't they, and they're definitely not favourites for the World Cup with Australia still around - for crying out loud, they're only drawing with WI, and earlier this year only drew with England!

I actually predicted him in the World Cup about 6 months ago.

 

[Gotchya]

Instinctively, India should win the final, though West Indies will be dying to clinch the series, Its the Indians home turf, dont see them letting one go so easily.

A reason why God did not make India the best side in the world...

Man you are saying like india is going for a clean sweep here, for God's sake man they have barely levelled the seires in their own country.

Yeah i dont know how he can prove them wrong with only one performance after a long time, mostly he proves them right

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Whoever wins the toss in the final will win.

Everyone is talking about the series as though WI has played crap and India has handed it to them. Give credit where credit is due. WI did lose the Test series by a convincing 2-0 so they've done pretty well.
