The Guide to captaining the Indian Cricket Team

[Warne is god]

I am enjoying the series. Tis great to see Sourav try to be a hero in every test match. And then fail.

[Neil Pickup]

English please!

 

[KennyD]

haha, lol. SOn of Coco just said "Hello KennyD. How are you?"

I said "Wow! Can you speak Japanese? Oh, so sorry, Im fine thankyou. And yourself?"

 

[Neil Pickup]

Well none of the mods can speak Japanese, so for all we know it could really be anything

 

[KennyD]

hahaha, ok I'll come clean

It was actually "Hey Kenny, where can I find some of that hot u-know-what in lil Tokyo"

And I said "Buggered if I know, I am a law abiding half-citizen."

You might do well to remember that this style of captaincy is what brought a 1-1 draw (almost a victory) for India in Australia.

that had a little more to do with other players performing extreamley well (Mr Dravid please stand up )

Ganguly had the 5th highest indian batting average for the series, Dravid, Laxman, Tendulkar and shewag ahead of him

I suppose with these five guys in the batting line up, anyone who was fifth (and someone has to be you'll agre) would still be a highly rated batsman , no ??

Boku mo genki da yo! Ima doko ni sunde iru ka? (I'm good too, where are you living at the moment? - a riveting demonstration of Japanese here! haha I'm pretty much spent except for a rude word here or there)

haha, don't worry Neil it's all clean..........however if I said 'manko o misete kudasai' then we'd have a problem..........not least of which would be the fact that KennyD is male thus making the request impossible!

HAHA! Man I'd love to translate that last line for all to see, but It`d probably get me banned.

Ima ne Hagi ni sunde iru. Hagi wa mechya chisiai machi, tabun 50,000 nin.
Doko de nihongo naraumashitaka?

Don't forget that Ganguly started it all with his brilliant 144 at the Gabba. Laxman says that innings gave the dressing room a lift.

 

[age_master]

the real key to the indian series wasn't a batsman anyway, twas Kumble with the ball

Thats absolutely true. It transformed the team.

Ganguly does come out with these brave gems. Sadly not often enough (at least in tests) though.

Would you agree with my theroy SJS that it was his best Test innings ever?
