sachin had a very bad worldcup..infact..he failed..in both crucial macthes..

i told u sachin top place is opening the innings..dravid top place is commin at no3...in this aus vs india series..dravid ..batted only once in top 3 postion..if i am not wrong...

Well its becoz of Vengsarkar dravid was left out.These two guys had personal ego clashes during the england tour over Sreesanth and munaf.Dravid was supporting sree and dinesh's inclusion in the team whereas vengsarkar was opposing it.Vengsarkar you are a fool.How can you left Dravid out of the team.I hope someone can kick his a**.And why is sehwag in the team.Whats the use of Raina,Tewari and badrinath performing well in the challenger series.Challenger series is looking like a joke played by fools who are in the bcci.I hope sehwag does well atleast against pakistan.

Calm down, it's only 2 games, if they don't change things round afte that, then yes, they are donkeys. Unless the team does really well, of course.

Its not about abusing them unnecessarily its about they have different rules for each and every player.
Sehwag is back you know why?Becoz he is in their contracts list.Thats why i never support this grade system.

 

[.Mob]

And not because of all those amazing performances in the past, his pure talent as well as getting back into form in the T20 world cup? Yeah, ok.

Why do you think he is in the contracts list? Because he is a good player and they were going to try him out at some time in the 12 month period.

 

[baburao]

And not because of all those amazing performances in the past, his pure talent as well as getting back into form in the T20 world cup? Yeah, ok.

I think he has got enough chances.You still want him to make those 15,17,20 runs?He is a liability.And yeah 20-20 is a different game.In 20-20 even 20 runs are enough.You still dont understand how BCCI works in india.And how much politics is there.Its not as straight as it looks buddy.

Why do you think he is in the contracts list? Because he is a good player and they were going to try him out at some time in the 12 month period.

Do u seriously think that he deserves to be in the contracts list becoz of his last two years performances?Accept it its politics who is saving Sehwag's a**.But i still want him to perform well against the pakistan.

 

[.Mob]

Although I agree with your thought that new players have to be tried out, I don't agree with you being so harsh on Sehwag, it's worth giving him a go. He's a class player.

It may be partially politics but Sehwag is still a dominant force in the longer form of the game and (as he did today), he can win a 50 over match in one and a half hours - you need people like that in your team if you are to be world beaters.

Thats the problem with us(indian fans).Just look at his past performances last two years averaging just 29.And if you want to be like australia then you have to take harsh decisions.Team is bigger than any individual.Although dravid was dropped due to bad form or politics he deserves a chance more than Sehwag how often you have seen dravid out of form?But look at sehwag he has got enough chances.Why not try tewari,badrinath now.Dont you feel for them they are always travelling with the team but never gets a chance to play and suddenly they are dropped oh you care for your class playe like sehwag who scored his last century ummmmm sorry i dont remember when.

Just becoz he can score fast 15-20 runs. There are players who can perform better than him.There are more utthappa's in our domestic cricket.They are waiting for their chances but sehwag is coming in their way without performing well.If you think that sehwag got the chance just becoz of his performance today then what about raina,badrinath and tewari who deserves a guranteed place in the team becoz he was selected for the tour of bangladesh and sadly he got injured and now he is fit.

Sehwag is not a consistant ODI scorer. He never was, he has not declined that much.

The 2007 average is misleading due to the hundred being scored in a dead-rubber against Bermuda. Taking it out, he averaged 28.30, not great, but not terrible either.

Working with Gambhir and pushing the singles, I think he can average 30 or more in the future and I think, with his strike rate lieing near 100, that is good (not great) for an opener.

Sehwag can bowl too and this is critical in ODIs to have a back up bowler who is consistant, doesn't try anything fancy and cannot be easily slogged (*cough* Yuvraj *cough*)

I think we are talking about batting.Isnt it?I will rate Yousuf Pathan over sehwag now if you are talking about bowling.Even Irfan is better.Now sehwag is in the team.Expect our score to be like 5/2 after 2 overs if sehwag is opening.And if he is not opening then there are better middle order batsman than him.We dont need this guy at middle order.

We are talking about Sehwag as a player. My figures were in relation to his batting though.

Yes, expect 5/1 after 2 overs, one game but also expect 120/1 after 15 overs another game. In one, you have all but won and in another, you have NOT all but lost.

Sehwag is a risky tactic but a worthwhile one considering he is not in wretched form.

Good news for Badrinath fans.

"Badrinath was brought in for Gambhir earlier, but he'll get his chances, too," Vengsarkar said.
