Sehwag gets injured during Team India's practice session - The Times of India

 

[AbhishekS]

I hope the injury isn't much serious.

Sehwag survives injury scare | Deccan Chronicle | 2011-02-25

He is fit to play.

 

[Aditya]

That's a good news. Hopefully, in the next match (against England) Sehwag or Sachin won't get run out. There understand usually is quite good but I don't know what happened in the match against Bangladesh. Anyway, past is past I'm sure both of them will be more careful while making running calls in the match against England.

Kick out Sreesanth ! Now he even injured Yuvraj

I say Kill him & feed him to Yuvraj (They both deserve each other)

Or maybe an Old fashion boxing match between Hayden & Sreesanth (I'm betting on Hayden)

The Irish attack is way better than our bloody Indian one !

Just look at the clinical Irish performance against Bangladesh today, a team that scored 280 against India.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Pitch was way better that day to be honest than it was today.

 

[icyman]

Still dude, you would not want our team to go on conceding runs against the low rung teams.

I think that's too formulaic an expectation. The pitch plays a big role, especially when the majority are pancakes. Some day's the bat just dominates and you have to accept that, especially in the SC.

The Irish restricting Bangladesh has nothing to do with the Indian bowlers. Bangladesh is hardly a strong team, they lose to associates frequently.

Oh wow! Yuvraj is injured. Thats good news. Solves the equation for Raina to come in.

Guess you are right.

Raina needs to get back into his groove. If he gets a hundred in Bangalore or scores some vital match winning runs, Dhoni's gonna have migraine prior to the Irish encounter.

Wouldn't be a bad migraine to have.

Not bad to have that migraine. Right now, I rate Raina above Yuvraj. In terms of batting form too, Raina has been better than Yuvraj (although in a worser way as both are low down there). Raina is an exceptional fielder, and Yuvraj used to be do once upon a time (now with all that weight and knee injuries, he has fallen dramatically). Yuvraj has improved his bowling, but his bowling isnt really going to win us matches, and Raina by himself is a useful off spin bowler as well. Raina passes on a more positive and energetic attitude, but whenever I see Yuvraj these days, he looks lethargic, lazy and as if he is not meant to be there.
