RP should have played in his place...

Sreesanth knows that this is the last time he will ever play for India...

I say good riddance... Even I can probably bowl a better line than this dude :facepalm:

He arrived in the country today.


Its also quite funny. After the first test match people wanted Sreesanth. Now they want RP singh, who hasn't been in test contention forever! Didn't even come close to getting selected for WI, where there was no Khan.

This is the end of Sreesanth as we know....

He will never ever be given a chance to play for India...

Just a sorry excuse for a Phast bowler...

:facepalm:

And what dibbly-dobbly medium pacer would you replace him with? he at least had Bell dropped by dravid. Praveen is talented, but at the pace he bowls, he needs to bowl deliveries that deviate hugely to get batsmen out like he did Ian bell today.

I know Pakistanis overemphasize pace, but the "trundler" feel to the Indian attack is just shocking sometimes. They don't have to be that slow; I'm sure they can find someone pacy to liven the game up at times like this when the batsmen are coasting.

The only positive thing happening is the field practice our unfit (lethargic) players are getting :facepalm:

Any trundler who will not bowl short and wide and keep the run flow in check...

For some reason guys like Ishant, Sreesanth, Munaf all used to bowl pretty quick in domestic games before they get selected to Indian team..

Once they make it to Indian team, they all seem to turn into instant trundlers... I don't know who is the bowling coach, but he needs to kicked in his nutzz for his terrible job. :kami
 
Chennai Super kings iss baar bhi dunya par raaj kare gi - Dhoni''s ad on star cricket for Champions league

that would have pissed me off even more if I was an Indian after this pathetic performance.

Trust me, it definitely pissed me off big time.
 
People hating on IPL, everyone secretly wishes they had an IPL contract...

Even I am not a fan of IPL, but these players know that their careers could be short once they are out of the team. They know that they have to make the maximum amount when their star is still shining. Hence these guys show more commitment in IPL. That is where the big bucks are...

What you earn as an International player for your entire career could be earned in 1 season of IPL. Most are heavily overpaid and they enjoy every bit of it.

After all, its all business these days for most players.

Didn't all the Australians decline IPL? The likes of Ponting, Hussey, Johnson to name a few.


Same with the English?
 
whats really making me laugh is the fact that Vikram Solanki thought this series would be really close and India would win..lol..now I know why he doesnt play for england!!..lol

Give people hungry for a chance, even if they play the IPL, like Badrinath, not Yuvraj or Raina. They'll try harder.

And sure, the money isn't that great for cricket, but a good English player makes 1m pounds a year or so with contracts, endorsements and more, sure the Indians would make much more. And that's quite alot of money in England, let alone India.
 
Cook is a bully of some sort, but what a bully :wg

I am sorry....Yuvaraj deserves every bit of it what he gets. He won us many many games in ODI's. Not a good test player does not mean he is not a good player...say Bevan. You cant expect a t20 league to give more money to dravid then yusuf pathan just because dravid is a million times better cricketer. Anyway..Yuvaraj has been one of india's main contributors to ODI victories in the last decade.

I meant give them a chance in Tests. Badrinath should be ahead of Yuvraj in the Test pecking order. Ahead of Raina too.
 
Two-thirds of KP and Cook's runs have come in boundaries
