As I expected, a thumping win by the Indian side. Keep it up guys. On a good batting wicket, Irfan and Harbhajan bowled beautifully.

Good to see Sewag playing to his potential. I love the balanace of this Indian team and credit must go to Chappel and Dravid.

Well done boys and keep making us proud.

Yuvraj too has an aveage of about 37 and so does Gambhir. Hence I cant see a problem with Kaif who is not only a good fielder but also has a good cricketing brain.

Yuvraj surely has the class but I doubt about Gambhir. The main issue with players not being consistent is that they dont have the class to perform consistently. Jaffer has scored many runs in domestic cricket but he fails whenever he plays at the international level. Most Indian players in the past and present suffer from this problem.

Ashok Mankad was a king in domestic cricket but a failure at international level. Other players that come in mind include Surinder Amarnath, Ashok Malhotra, Brijesh Patel, Anshuman Gaikwad, Akash Chopra, Bhaskar Pillay, Badani, Dinseh Mongia and many more.

We need top sought out our opening pair as soon as possible. I also belive Sewag is a poor choice for leading India in the future, IMO his captiancy in this test is being childish. Hopefully Rahul can hang on the job as much as possible.

I doubt Ganguly can make any comeback unless a few players fall ill. There is no room for him in both forms ofthe game. I do agree with that he was a player of class but I doubt if there is any gas left in the cylinders. He is very sentimental and lacks motivation, all characteristics of a player that is not required in the dressing room.

sing room.

Here r some FC stats

Kaif - 67 matches, 5 centuries, 136 highest, 37.00 average
Yuvraj - 59 matches, 13 centuries, 209 highest, 46.19 avg
Gambhir - 76 matches, 19 centuries, 233* highest, 52.75 avg

Track in my opinion all this good impression abt Kaif is just based on hype created by media and Ganguly who promoted him just to keep his own place safe in the test team. I dont doubt Kaif has a strong work ethics, but if u dont have that hunger to score runs, u cant succeed at any level. I agree he has done very well in ODI this season, but I doubt he can keep this performance for much longer.
