saisrini80 said:I am excited! This series is building up greatly! Teams playing mind games on each other! Inzy is surely trying to grab the tag of the underdog but he knows that he cant get that tag! Say it or not, Pakistan are surely favorites but India cant also be the underdogs because of their recent form! So this series is one hell of a cracker!
Nehra - A WASTE! He can take wickets, but he is a Agarkar kind. He gives lots of runs! He breaks down frequently with injuries and he also has an attitude problem like what Zaheer had! He is alleged to prefer ODI's over test matches!
Balaji - I am surprised on why he is not playing! He loves Pakistan!
Kumble - Oh! Dont even compare Kumble with anyone! What a superb bowler! I rate him higher than a guy called Murali who I hate! After Shane Warne, the best spinner is Kumble!
On Indians being over confident : What crap? When did we sound over confident? Did we say we will win 3-0? Never ever! If saying that India will win the series is over confidence, yes we are over confident! If saying Kumble is better than Danish Kaneria is over confident, yes we are over confident! WE DEFINITELY ARE!
I'm sure you are not a bowling coach to say "Nehra is a waste". He needs to be fit most of the time to be back in the team. That is the reason why he isn't playing...but i'm sure he isn't a "waste".
Who told you that he has attitude problem? Please don't post unnecessary and false claims on other players/people.
Everyone has attitude problems, you, me, all the players.
Regarding Balaji: you are right, he plays well against Pakistan. But taking him would be a gamble because his domestic performances were very poor, he got hit even by tail-enders and did not pick up many wickets. So it was right on Indian selectors to dis-regard him for this tour.
Kumble: I agree! He is among the greatest bowlers, more because of his temperament, accuracy and that never-die-attitude. He is that down-to-earth person. For India, Tendulkar is to batting and Kumble is to bowling. Both Tendulkar and Kumble re-defined cricket, with their performance and attitude.
Comparing Kaneria and Kumble is non-sense. Comparing two different people is non-sensical anyways. Kaneria has got the talent but only time will tell.
Kumble has done enough to be among the greats.
