Like I said, the true supporters back up their team in the ups and also in the downs.
And Agarker is an allrounder? :laugh I rather call Pathan an allrounder then him.
But I was actually impressed by the New Zealand batting line up. They had a batting line up up to ten places (!). And that includes Vettori. I've never seen that before. Pakistan had once up to nine places, but that was an exhibition match. It shows the strength of New Zealand actually, because they're doing well cause of the allrounders.
Off course Bond wasn't in that line up, but he came up as a Supersub.
The match against Zimbabwe is over two days. We'll see what happens.

UsmanCHADDA said:The problem Indiangod is that the Indian team is having a lot of bad days nowadays. Even in the IndianOil Cup, they were at times demolished by the Lankans (forget the weak Windies). Indian supporters have really been wanting team India to consistently win, but team India is adamant on losing consistently. What they lack is consistency. Example: Not long ago Sehwag was known as the centre of the Indian team, and the so-called "Sehwag Effect" came into being. But now people want to throw him outta the team, and even compare him to Afridi: The problem mainly lies in consistency and consistency alone. I admire you Indiangod for the support you give to the Indian team, but I guess you will someday aswell give-up, like preet.
What kind of stupid question is 'I guess you will someday give up'? , I'll never give up on the indian team never, as long as I live. India is a team that never gives up , and dont give it in till the end. Sehwags a better batsmen then afridi anyway, afridi overall averages 25, and sehwag 32, sehwags just having a bad time, and so is india. India will improve, you'll see in the final.

All India needs is the main players to click, and soon the whole Indian team will click too. For Indias batsmen all it takes in one good konock then thier in form, and for India all they need is one ood tournment win, then India will be confident evrey day. When sachins back Indias team will grow stronger you'll see.
For god sake Sehwags a much better batsmen then afridi in odis
Sehwag
Matches /122

Afridi

Sehwags got a better average than afridi by 7 points, even though afridis played 89 more matches then sehwag, and sehwags got 7 hundreds to afridi 4, along with 17 50's with afridis 26. afridi might be the better bowler but only just.

How do they compare in the last half year? And this is not actually competition between Afridi and Sehwag. They are both good cricket players.
But if you want to compare, you can compare Sehwag with Vincent or Fleming for instance. And also in the year 2005.

In the batting, not too big difference in their averages. Afridi is just a point over Sehwag this year in 2005!

Giving up on the team? No way! I never can! At the most, I can give up on them for only 24 hours after a defeat! Thats it. I then come back to support them! Our country has enormous talent. Its all going to a waste right now with not so sincere performances.
And I think we're lashing the team too much just for their performance in the first match! We've had positives come out of that game itself. Pathan n Nehra's bowling early, Yadav and Pathan's batting, etc.
I am confident that we can put behind the early setback and go about in a positive fashion for the rest of the series. I am sure Chappell's experimenting is over and he is down to the real test which is -VICTORIES!

Indiangod I am sorry I offended you. Keeping faith in your team even if they are losing is very appreciated.
I didnt say Afridi is better than Sehwag. Read my post. People were comparing them, not I. Afridi is a useless cricketer really, who just wastes his talent IMO. Dunno why people even call him a batsman, just because he can strike the ball and has a few hundreds to his name? Its just those big knocks are always lucky. Sehwag is an accomplished batsman. So no comparison.
Back to topic, Zimbabwe have got no chance of beating India. Like, India cant be that worse? I hope this match serves as a warm-up for some Indian cricketers to find their form.
