why cant bcci keep two to three different teams for these matches. one team each for test and one days and one for T20's. all of them as it is play in the IPL matches. there are about more than a thousand good guys playing in county matches in the states all over. all this match hogging by senior players who forget to play once they are selected will stop. the country is giving too much importance to these blokes. cricketers have started acting like politicians now. they get all worked up and dont admit their mistakes.

and above all the fun of bashing (cheering)

Yes you've read right,Indian team is known for helping opposition debutantes in growing their confidence by either letting them make centuries or winning matches or taking 5 wicket halls,so there's nothing new in this.

i was watching star news, and the ancho was making fun of rohit sharma i think. he (the reporter) said that RS must have left some maggie to boil on the gas, cause he went back as soon as he came to the field after facing a ball.

My blood boils looking at the way Dhoni approaches every match. Granted the situation was not conducive to stroke making, but to me it seems he is now in a habit to waste so much time in the crease that the total becomes beyond reach. And then in the end he would score a few hits, remain not-out and then people praise him for scoring those pathetic 30s-40s! When he came out the required RR was around 9 or 10 and at one point in time he had scored 8 or 9 runs of 25 balls! In a freaking T20! How disgusting!

too much money have made indian cricketers arrogant and non commital.

R Ashvin who is nearly half the age of Sachin and Dravid is less agile then both of them.

And I presume there is lot of politics in selection of playing eleven, I dont know why Irfan Pathan was over looked and Vinay Kumar was played.

Can't really blame MSD but he should have batted up the order,Rohit simply wasted his chance,also RVK what he had done to be in the team,Irfan could be handy with the bat also the outfield made even worse for India to score,lets hope for better result tomorrow.

For all the things Kumble has done for India, he has also given two incompetent bowlers from his academy- One of them being Vinay Kumar. Why the heck is Dhoni persisting with this guy. Second T20, he plays again in place of Irfan Pathan. Cant help with think India cricket is in the same apathetic stage as our government. Jo bhi kar lo kuch hone waala nahi hain (Do whatever u want, nothing is going to change) seems to be the manta.

For a change, India is in a good position. If they can't go on to win from this situation, I don't think they ever will, in this tour.

For a change India successfully completed the task partly achieved in first half of play

I was thinking of forgetting Indian wins.
