In wide bowling, scoring is easy if the ball is either too short or too full, hitting a wide length ball is not that easy. And as is evident from his bowling, in his first three overs he bowled 6 ***** to Younis Khan (for 6 runs), 6 ***** to Shoaib Malik (for 3 runs) and 6 ***** to Misbah-ul-Haq (for 3 runs); plus a wide. Out of these three batsmen, Shoaib Malik and Misbah were in form of their lives, and Younis too wasn't playing bad. So please accept the fact that Joginder bowled according to a plan and succeeded in that. Quote:

| ![]() Whatever be the cost, but BCCI should somehow include Rohit Sharma for the upcoming Aussies ODI series. He must be high on confidence, If he does not get chances now, His talent will get wasted, Sooner he comes in the team .. better for team India middle order.

Do you really think that batsmen of Younis, Shoaib and Misbah's caliber couldn't hit Joginder only because luck was on his wide, otherwise he was bowling rubbish. C'mon give credit where it is due. And stop deriding your own team just for augument's sake. Cheers Nitin | ||

1.I agree with Amit here.With these Big3 would could have reached semi ir final but choked there only as it had been happening in all finals before this T20 cup. 2.I agree again.Chappel wanted yuvi in the test team as well.But obviously he had to come in place of saurav,so thats why Ganguly [as clever as his master dalmiya] had a problem with Coach. I remember a TEST match when Yuvi had replaced a injured player and when he scored a century he reacted in way that demonsterated his frustruation for not being regular in the test team.Chappel came out of dressing room to balcony and also showed his happines by clapping for longer time than usual and then raising his both arms to yuvi as if he is saying to him that point has been proved. Last night after India had won the T20 cup,Sachin told CNN IBN and then just translated in hindi on Aaj-Tak later that its people's fault that they had too much expectations from us in March 07 and not many from this.These are totally ridiculous comments from the great batsman.Not many expected this team to win becuase of senior team's poor performances in the recent past and it was no fault of this team that not many were expecting this team to win T20 cup. When they win they get so much applause not to talk about the money/fame endorsements etc but they should be ready to loose some if they play poorly. World cup is still just under 4yrs away and i think we should continue with present team and drop senior players from one day team only if we want to win next world cup.They all will be over 38 and i dont think they will have enough strength/stamina/attitude to do it.Players like Rohit,Robin,Gambhir,Yusuf deserve much longer run and that can only happen at the expense of big3.Rohit was just a passenger with the team before he got the chance. Almost 2 yrs back when Utthapa scored 80odd in a match he was dropped in the next match because India was in the final and it was thought that Sehwag would be better choice as he has more experiance and it will be handy in final.What does Sehwag do,he got out in 20's. Look at australia,just one yr before 2003 WC,Waugh brother dint play well [well...they averaged between 30-35} in a tournamant also involving NZ and SA.After the league matches all the 3 teams were tied on same points but NZ and SA went through to Final and Aus missed out at home.That was enough for Aus selectors to drop them and include player like Symonds,Martin etc.We all know what they did in that WC. In this T20 cup both India and Pak played well but Pakistan was just not able to cope up with the pressure of final and fear of loosing once early wickets are gone cheaply. well done 'D' company!!!! ![]() Last edited by rsjaurr : 25th September 2007 at 17:26. | |

| ![]() Against Australia in home conditions, we should play 6 batsmen (including Dhoni), Irfan Pathan as all-rounder and 4 bowlers. I would say it is the choice of bowlers that is going to be crucial. We probably have two sets of batsmen who can do equally well under benign batting conditions in India. The pitches are likely to be rigged up to be lacking in pace/bounce, so that an important Aussie advantage is negated. Bangalore could be an exception, though. At this time of the year the ball might move around a little in cloudy Bangalore weather. Plus on some of the pitches our spinners might hold the key. So of the 4 bowlers, two should normally be spinners, unless conditions favour the seamers -- in which case we should pick 3 seamers plus one spinner. Unfortunately, we are likely to pick 7 batsmen and only 4 regular bowlers (including Pathan, if selected). That I think will be a mistake. Pathan is a good all-rounder and his batting potential should be properly utilized. Powar and Chawla can bat too. Even with 6 batsmen Pathan and Powar/Chawla are unlikely to get a serious chance with the bat under Indian conditions, so picking 7 batsmen will be a total waste. And our fifth part-time bowler will go for plenty of runs. |

| ![]() Hey McLaren, you need to take a break man. First you say India deserved to lose this T20 WC. Then you criticized J-wide Singh's tactics even though it paid off. Even though we are yet over the WC win euphoria, you moved the discussion to ODI series starting on Saturday. You included injured Piyush Chawla in the team. You added Rohit Sharma to the playing 11 even though he is not in 15 member team. Then you say Ganguly should be the captain though Dhoni is already appointed the captain. Finally you say Dravid should keep wickets ![]() ![]() |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Folks, everyone needs to take a break. Not mclaren alone. I appreciate everyone's right to call their logic correct and argue about it but not at the cost of pulling someone down. Just becoz someone begs to differ, don't get down to personalities. I think Sree Santh is going to get tonked by Hayden. Did you watch the way he sledged Hayden when he came back as a runner for Hussey. Hayden was livid. Its going to be fun. :-) I fully believe in giving it back to the Aussies. Thats were Dada was good. He kept needling Steve Waugh!!! |
