rohit sharma and rp have looked out of soughts and both belong to the deccan chargers.
Except for a few on the field, the body language was not competitive. We were smiling and joking as if we were some junior team which was happy just to be given the privilege of playing a top team. This has to stop.

RP = Just a bit of bad form maybe complacency... he'll get back soon. He has proved that he is a champion bowler who has a lot of capability. I think Deccan Chargers failed because of
1) Lack of co ordination (they didn't gel as such)
2) The big international stars didn't bat well(besides Gilly - The legend)
3) The 4 international players only rule
4) The Indian (domestic) bowlers and batsmen were not that great (besides RP and Rohit who played well)
Basically only Gilly, Rohit and RP performed consistently even though RP's economy rate was bad I agree but RP is a big match player I guess.
He he... Top team? Sounds good

I wont say he is a champion bowler. but he is certainly a useful bowler with good pace and movement. He needs to be more consistent in his line and length (though he is way better than the mercurical Sreesanth)
RP Singh = Fails in all conditions that don't give him assistance.
rp no doubt is a very good bowler but he is off the boil big time,not just in the ipl but he wasnt upto the mark in the tests against south africa and was dropped for the 3rd test,his pace has gone down too.
I think mods are biased (changed from something else). They have sticked other international threads but this thread is still down :
And there's a positive of Twenty20 cricket.Pakistan's biggest problem looked to be the extras column. 38 in an ODI is FAR too many. Compare that to India's. Sure it was less overs, but no wides or no-balls in 35.5 overs. They need to improve on that. (Of course that wasn't the only problem) Not disciplined enough bowling.
