India will defintely lose this series and lose big. My only hope is that Sachin who has missed the last 11 one dayers could come back from injury and get in some valuable batting practice before the WC, in the last 3 one dayers.
They are saying that they don't want to push him so he might miss this match...

Yet another pathetic effort by India. They've been humiliated too many times this series, and quite frankly, after all the stick given to England by certain forum members, I cannot stop laughing at these pathetic displays by "the best batting line up in the world"

What price 7-0?! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'd love to see 7-0, but can't seriously see them failing three more times... surely not...

I have stopped following this series.... it could very well be a 7-0
"black"wash, after the 2-0 whitewash in tests :P

In a way this may prove to be good for the team....because they as well as the fans who were all too eager to declare India as the WC champs, have been brought down to earth and reality may sink in.

Now the pressure on the team generated by the enormous expectation at home can somewhat ease up, and also they can work on the glaring deficiencies on what was supposed to be their main weapon(batting), to hopefully put up a good fight in SA.

The last five posts were deleted as they were flames between vandemataram and Rik.

If you two want to play cheap point-scoring at each other's expense, do it through U2U or e-mail, and not over a PUBLIC message board.

If you have a problem with someone, e-mail or U2U a moderator or administrator (i.e. James, Andre, Corey or Me) or use the "Report Post" button and express it in that way, and NOT AS A FLAME WAR.

It wasn't that bad. Neil's just trying to stop me catching his post total anyway :lol: :saint:

I haven't seen the match yet so I'm waiting for the highlights this arvo, but hey statistically it seems like a repeat of Jade where India were not good enough to post any sort of total on what seems to be a reasonable batting track. If the Kiwis could knock off the runs in under 30 overs that would indicate a pitch capable of 300 run totals!!!!!

It should now be plain for even the most die hard Indian supporters to see that the real problem for the Indians on this tour has not been 'doctored pitches', but the lack of form & poor technique & application by their team with the bat, the ball & in the field!!!! It should also be apparent that the Indian batting success has been built on the backs of 2 players - Dravid & Tendulkar!!

India are being whitewashed by a NZ team at the start of their season & with very little competitive cricket behind it. The Kiwi ODI reputation is well below that of Indians, and they have had a number of players unavailable thru injury. The Indians should be very thankful that they are not currently touring Australia, otherwise the results would have been even more embarrasing!!!!

It is too close to the WC for any changes for India, but they need to be looking at their domestic set up NOW if they are to rebuild their ability to play Away from Home!!!!

For the Kiwis this is not the pre WC build up they would have hoped for, and I'm picking that they will bat first in the remaining 2 ODIs given the opportunity!!!!

Attention Please!!

This one is for Rik!

Take a look at your new Avatar. Don't you think that you are disrespecting the Indian National Flag by putting it that way.

The Flag for the Indian Cricket Team is different from that one and you can surely use that for satisfying your purpose and not this one ... please.

Thanks.

Completely agreed! I think some members avatar and Signatures are stupid and these people can do better than that.If the moderators were really serious in avoiding heated argumnets, then they shouldn't let members use such inflamatory avatars!

Ok sorry, I can't find one though, although I looked for about 30 mins. If you can find one then I will change mine to suit it.

If you realised it was a joke then maybe it wouldn't be so offensive. The mod's think it's a joke so they haven't complained! Anyway look at it, why not kick a team while it's down ;)

I'm not sure as to whether moderators would have allowed someone to come up with an avatar having England's flag with all kind of rubbish on it.

Right, just to prove it's not really offensive...look at the flag...it's the Indian Flag...since when has India the country had anything to do with being beaten by Namibia, Canada and Holland? There is no confusion what is ment, that is why there is no problem with the mods.

Since most of them are Aussies or Kiwi's I doubt they'd have cared.

Some of them have a sense of humour as well!
