India Team Discussion

So these 2 quick retirements were for this MCL thing.

Their chance for making a return to national team is limited as preference is given to youth, so i have no issues in regarding their decisions.

Seems like it. Nothing wrong with that though. I am sure most of us would do the same in such a situation

Cricketers pay tribute to Virender Sehwag on his retirement

Virender Sehwag attributes his success to former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly

 

[Aravind.]

When sachin and sehwag came out to bat, the only way to differentiate them was the flag on the helmet(sachin) and footwork (sehwag) ‪#‎masters‬
Finally its official end of our batting Fab 5:
Sachin, Sourav, Dravid, Laxman & Sehwag.

 

[abhi_jacko]

Well, the original fab five were always Sachin, Ganguly, Dravid, Laxman and Kumble.

Hearing some really positive things about this young man. Hopefully he is nurtured well in domestic cricket and can make some impression next week against South Africa.

Gautam Gambhir, Manoj Tiwary have heated exchange during Ranji game | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

Gautam Gambhir Crossed The Limit, I Did Not Start The Fight: Manoj Tiwary - Cricket News

The furore started with Gambhir saying: "Shaam ko mil tujhe maroonga (Meet me in the evening, I will hit you). And Tiwary retorted, saying: "Shaam kya abhi bahar chal (Why wait till evening, let's go out and settle it now").

Umpire Srinath then sprinted from the bowler's end. Gambhir, with his fists raised, charged towards Tiwary, who was also not ready to back down. Umpire Srinath came in the middle, but Gambhir to everyone's horror pushed the umpire trying to get him out of the way.

What has gone wrong with india ? {NEW VERSION}

Batting: The batting is not cohesive. If one fails, all fail. Leave aside the technical deficiencies of facing a swinging ball, they are not even able to play Moeen Ali properly. Spin bowling is supposed to be fodder for Indian born batsmen...

Bowling: Perennial problem. We simply do not have the bowlers capable enough to take 20 wickets in a test match. Forget about fast bowling, which we never had the luxury of, spin bowlers in the current team cannot earn a single wicket on their own. Heck, they don't even SPIN the ball. Moeen Ali, a part timer, is comfortably out spinning our Indian spin wizards.

Fielding: Less said the better because it has been so disgusting. When people like Jadeja, Kohli (the supposed world class fielders of India) drop so many catches, what can we expect from Aarons and Pankajs of the team?

Test Match skills and temperament: Barring a very few like Rahane, Vijay, Bhuvi and Pujara to an extent, none of the others have shown the skills or temperament required for test matches. Bowlers lack discipline and patience to earn wickets. Batsmen are too flashy and some players are not even test match material (including our captain) but they are still in the team. Inspite of the obvious flaws in test match ability and technique, our Captain at least shows some fight on the field, which is not reciprocated by the other more talented members of the team.
