May be they should let Dravid go down the order to make it easier for him. Laxman can bat one down.

May be both Sachin and Sehwag could be moved to the middle order. Tendulkar and Sehwag need to perform. In this CB series Sachin has played 7 innings scored 128 runs at an average of 18. Sehwag in 5 innings has scored 81 at an average of 16. Whenever India has to chase Tendulkar seem to play...

Australia 151/8. Only Hussey batting responsibly.

Symonds out. Australia 76/5. Australia really are in big trouble.

Ponting getting out in similar fashion lately. Edging into the slips.

Rudy Kurtzen cannot see and cannot hear. Should retire.

The new look young Indian team is much better in running between the wickets and fielding. They put up a decent total against Sri Lanka mainly because of good running between wickets and some hitting at the last 8 overs or so. So this Indian ODI team will not do anything worse than the old...

Rudy Kurtzen gave Rohit out based on the way Sankakara appealed. I think appealing and convincing the umpires have become an art. I am sure that there was a lot of doubt if there was an edge. If Sankakara is so convinced, I agree why did he go for stumping. Putting together a great appeal to...

I agree with your selection. It is not good to go with 4 front line bowlers and 10 overs to be filled in by part time spinners.

The young team got into trouble but at the end did not fair too bad. If the match was not abandoned they had a chance to win the game as the conditions were helping the bowlers. It is expected that the inexperienced players will struggle a bit but one has to bear with it to build for the...

With the batting resources available the Indian batting order does not look right to me. First of all one of the experienced batsmen either Tendulkar or Sehwag should be in the middle order to give some stability. They could play two down. Uthappa is a hitter and I do not think he could play...

Gambhir giving catching practice. Two catches in one Mitchel Johnson's over.

Ian Healy is suggesting/hoping that India will be 5 for 40 or so. Let us see what happens.

In most of the 20/20 matches where Dhoni was captain he had five front line bowlers. So most probably someone like Ishant Sharma after his recent good bowling might play at the expense of a batman such as Raina or Sharma. It will be interesting to see if Tendulkar will play this 20/20 game.

Most of the batsmen had problems in the South Africa series inlcuding Dravid and Tendulkar. It does not make sense to drop someone who has a Test Average close to 50 after a bad 3 Test series. If Gilchrist's replacement does not bat as well it will really affect the balance of the...

A very good innings by Sehwag. A very good reply for those who wanted to keep him out of the team. He should never have been dropped in the first place. He was made a scapegoat by the selectors for the world cup fiasco whereas the selectors were the one who should have been taken to task.

The difference between good players and great players is the timing of their retirement. They walk away at their own terms before people asking too many questions such as why someone is still playing. I think Gilchrist did the right thing like Warne, Lara and others.

Harbajan and Kumble batting well. India are 400+.

I missed that "if it is true". One should be careful not to spread rumours and hearsay. It is in the news that Ganguly fans have stopped trains in Kolkotta and protesting to reinstate Ganguly. I think that sites like Rediff and Indiatimes are spreading such rumours that Dhoni is selfish etc...
