[Saroj padhy]

India vs Australia A - Class 5th - Passed
India vs Srilanka - Class 6th - Passed
India in Asia cup - Class 7th - Passed

India- " We are world champion, Everyone's favorite "

India vs New Zealand in world cup- IAS exam - Minus mark

I feel Rahane should be included in the team. He plays spin much better than Dhawan.

Yep. Right now, as it seems aggressive attitude wouldn't work anymore agoing from first ball, team management and captain must realize to include that spinning beast over Dhawan.

" Virat is a finisher for me. An opener can also be your finisher. It's not necessary that a finisher would be your number 6 or 7 batsman," Gambhir said.[/QU

Kohli is as much a finisher as any #11 that's scored the winning runs before.

Btw, the hindi commentary is so atrocious! They have some of the worst commentators and analysts in the world (other than Sidhu). One doesn't enjoy their commentary, but endures it.

The English commentary panel featuring the likes of Harsha Bhogle, Rameez Raja, Gavaskar, Laxman (again), Athar Ali Khan (worst non-hindi commentator in the world), Isha Guha (strongest accent since Mark Nicholas), Russell Arnold, Scott Styris etc. isn't anything special either... but many times better than the Hindi commentary team.

The commentary is definitely biased. Of late Ian Bishop too (Asia Cup) was showing off a lot of attitude. Stutter Ali Khan ought to be banned from commentating. The welcome change is that they've gotten Gavaskar back. At least, you could hear him blasting India yesterday & was quite hilarious in his approach. Unfortunately, the commentary team is selected by the ICC and not by Star Sports.

There is a weak link especially in the middle order. Pandya is a hit or miss just like dhawan. All-rounder mark should be scratched from jadeja. He is just a bowler. I feel Rahane should be included in the team. He plays spin much better than Dhawan.

Thank God! Someone agrees with me on Rahane. He has to be in the team, especially with such a ludicrous performance.

You are talking about Raina.
Ok he got lucky with the ball yesterday.
But what about Pandya and Nehra.
Pandya took 10 wicket in an over with 0 economy rate may be for you
Only 4 players is playing serious game in that playing XI. Rohit ,Kohli, Ashwin, Bumrah.

Just to reiterate, the bowling is strong. I wouldn't tweak it as the same line up has been taking wickets regularly,albeit a few of them on the bowler friendly tracks of Banlgadesh. I'll agree with Pandya's bowling not having much of an impact, but Nehra has been a standout bowler in the last few games for India. I think he proved his worth in Australia.

About your last statement- What on earth did Rohit Sharma do yesterday ? Hit & Miss he is.

 

[Ohm]

I was very ill yesterday and didn't watch India's batting, but when I heard in the morning that India had lost in such a terrible fashion, I was sooooo happy.
Dhoni was whining about the bowling-friendly pitches in Bangladesh, saying that they were not ideal for T20. Then this hypocrite comes back home and gets a freaking rank turner prepared for a T20 game, just so that they can neutralise New Zealand. I'm really, really happy that his cunning plan backfired and he looks like a massive fool now.
I hope they lose all their matches, except against Pakistan and Bangladesh.

People are joking on FB that very soon, we'll hear the news of Nathan McCullum and other NZ bowlers being under the scanner for "suspect action."

Another saroj padhy putting India's national flag on profile and also slamming the Indian cricket?

Only an Indian fan can say that.
Praise when someone do good, and abuse harder when they fail in a single match.
That's why i hate Indian cricket fans.
Rohit Sharma is more consistent than the rest.
And what Dhawan doing for the past 1-2 years?
Nothing.
But he will come back again against Pakistan.

Having the Indian flag on profile doesn't mean that one should be a blind supporter of everything that the country's cricket captain, board and commentators do.
As Albert Einstein once said, "Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth." I'd say, so is blind patriotism.

Wow, I didn't know that... Makes me wonder whom in ICC did Aakash Chopra and Athar Ali Khan impress so much to get this job. It's also possible that they've been asked not to be neutral, so that their emotions are in sync with those of the majority of the viewers. I wish I could watch the full match again and not just the highlights; commentary is most entertaining when commentators get mad at their own country.

[HASHTAG]#Makeyourownmiracle[/HASHTAG]

Indian team- We do what we say. 79 all out while chasing 126. Miracle done [HASHTAG]#playbowled[/HASHTAG]

The time they wasting on studio for advertisement , if they practiced against turn. then india might won last match.
India don't have any spinner expert batsman like Gambhir. Accept it.

 

[Pinch hitter]

Put all 'Team India big time fail' talk a side and let see what New Zealand did different and how good Williamson as captain?
From start of the match they show, what result they wanted... they play with 3 spinners, which is not there style... Captain Williamson change his bowlers after every 2-3 over... he attack from 1st over with spinner and that move turn good for them... India is more adapted cooler attitude... they never expected how good can be the NZ spinner in this extreme spinner friendly pitch... Indian batsman want to attack, even before they get settle... when they started to play carefully, India already lost 4 wickets... so the bottom line is India never look as a winner and NZ did everything to win this match...

 

[Aravind.]

We just had a bad day after winning 7 matches in a row, may be our batsman thought Kiwi spinners are just ordinary. I'm sure we will make the come back & make it to the semis.

I can easily remember how Indian Commentators were happy and almost yelling with joy with NZ bowled out for 127... Even for us here We thought that India will chase it down easily but boy what a performance and team effort by NZ.

My suggestion to Indian fans that Instead of blaming the Pitch, Let's face it with courage that Indian team isn't unbeatable and a great team like NZ had the potential to pull out from a difficult situation and roll the dice here and there with their tremendous planning and team unity. The moment I saw Kane Willimson gelling in with the boys before the NZ bowl, I had the feeling inside me that this target might not be a piece of cake.

I can see how much pressure is there with Kohli, There is just so much expectations from him from the general fans and Indian media, How they are comparing him way too much with Tendulkar and other all time greats. Every day is not Sunday we should remember

Cricket is a team effort not a one man show. If this continues, India might go back to a situation of mid 90's where all the 10 men used to rely on Tendulkar as if they are there on the field selling Dhai ballays and only Tendulkar focusing on the cricket....

Regarding the twitter vibe that India lost to NZ and won World Cup in 2007 is just comparable to what Pakistani fans were thinking in the last World Cup in Australia that Hey We won the WC in 1992 there in Australia and there are so much similarities going on so we will win in Aus again this time in 2015. So its just a big LOL thing nothing more than that....

Generally speaking, Worldwide I am hugely disappointed with the standards of Commentary. Gone are the days when legendary commentators used to put their home teams out of their minds, The love for the game was there instead of showing patriotism and biased comments.

Now money has taken over all the passion from Ex-Cricketers including the old ones.

Except Rameez Raja & Mark Nicholas others are shit.

This team can win against teams like Australia A , Srilanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan.
Now they taste the real challenge of the game against New Zealand & Australia.

I don't think anyone said that India is unbeatable.

And I am sure those twitter things are for fun's sake and no one took it seriously.[DOUBLEPOST=1458109893][/DOUBLEPOST]

I actually don't consider Ramiz Raza as a good commentator. Even he is too much biased. The only commentator I love is, Harsha Bhogle. His sense of humor is amazing and he knows what he is talking about. Even though sometimes he might get biased, but in general, he is the best for me.
