Border-Gavaskar Trophy (India in Australia) Dec-Jan 2011/12

Thing is, Kohli isn't the worst player in the Indian XI ATM.

 

[SaiSrini]

Sachin, please get out and spare us the misery of watching this nonsense.

But he's pushing at the balls which he should have been playing on the backfoot.

Indian tail has started with the arrival of Dhoni.

Bloody hell Hilfy has been unlucky today, should have clean bowled Tendulkar there.

Blame BCCI for that too

Tendy unlucky. Should have hit a SIX if he had middled the ball.

Can still get a decent total here if Dhoni finally steps up (it's due) and if Ashwin and Zaheer play their part.

 

[teamindia]

Zaheer is hopeless. He thinks he is shewag and swings every match these days

All they have to do is take a single and give Sach strike. Is that really that hard

 

[teamindia]

The million $$ question is can Dhoni stay till the score reaches 100? What are the odds now.

lol at dravid's reaction in the dressing room after they showed the frontfoot defense comparison of Sachin/Dravid/Laxman on the same screen. He was like "ohhh that's what i was doing wrong "

I'm not a big fan of Mukund. In West Indies, he did show promise but then it was against a weak side like West Indies, who with all due respect, aren't really the best of the sides these days. In England, he didn't look impressive but I agree, he must be given some chances but not really in Australia. There would be way too much pressure on him to perform considering that we're playing so badly. I'd say, make Dravid open, like he did in the last series against Australia in 2008 and get Rohit Sharma in the side and give him a chance. I don't think it will be fair to pick Mukund at this stage and put him under so much pressure to perform, he is a young lad who deserves to be motivated and not discouraged. I'm not sure how he is against the short deliveries either and there is a fair chance of him playing just like Gambhir if not worse or better. I'm saying to give Rohit a chance because he has played in Australia and has shown promise and giving him a chance wont be a bad idea and it would make our middle order much more stronger, which isn't the case at the moment.

100:1 would be the odds of Dhoni surviving past a team score of 100

----------

I feel Laxman is nearing his time... This was the place where he was expected to do really well, and he has done miserably so far. And in England too, he was tied down. I think he could be the first one to go (among the three)

Edit: Dhoni takes India past 100.

Ohhh Sach you little beauty . Can't resist the urge to undercut the short ball, can you
