Zimbabwe Triangular Series 2010

[Bounce]

Poor performance by India!

What else could you expect from this side!

 

[SaiSrini]

Pathetic! Thats all I can say. These boys cant beat Zimbabwe atleast once? Totally disappointed with Vijay. That IPL performance was more due to luck. You have to grab chances, and he has failed comprehensively. Lets see how long the team carries Yusuf with them and feeds him. He is living through the team, almost! Anyways all is for good. Its better that we see these days now than when we see it just before the WC or during it. I still believe we will put up a good team for the WC that will try and win it for us.

Somebody talked abt dropping Jadeja. INSANITY? Jadeja has done very well this series. No case to drop him at all. 61, 51, economical bowling with wickets. Jadeja is proving that he is only suited for the traditional formats of tests and ODI's. I wouldnt mind trying him out in a test match.

 

[SciD]

Jadeja is a dibbly dobbly player. You know where England went with them in ODIs.

Jadeja is actually quite a smart bowler and a batsman with good temperament. He does need to fix a few things here and there. But, besides that he's a very solid player. People don't give him enough credit. He's only proving everyone wrong with these performances.

Yusuf has to be dropped. While Vijay has been terribly disappointing, people need to realise he's actually been prolific in domestic cricket for the past 2-3 seasons, and has great technique. I don't understand why he's playing so within himself at the moment. If Rohit Sharma, Raina, Karthik, Yusuf can get so many chances to prove themselves, why can't Vijay? In any case, Naman Ojha to play the next match...is he even going to get a chance?

Jadeja should not be near team India. We need 4 genuine bowlers with 6 batsman and a keeper. 2 will be fast bowlers and 2 will be spinners. One will be Harby for sure and other one should be Ojha.

Ojha is much better bowler than Jadeja who only has darts. Harbhajan is enough for playing darts. If he plays he will be batting below Harbhajan and you do not need Jadeja in last 5 overs of either run chase or first innings.

He is hopeless as batsman and making runs against Zims is surely making him Tendulkar. :sarcasm

WOW, fearsome tweak DE INDIA

LOL, is that the same as bits 'n' pieces? Seems a bit like Michael Yardy, but most teams can probably afford one. Like James Hopes.

WOW, fling DE INDIA

Are you kidding? Jadeja has done really well in ODI's this year. Particularly with the ball. No case of dropping him for ODI's. T20's sure.. He isn't a T20 player to begin with but he is perfect for ODI cricket. If he can improve his running (he has been involved in some crucial run outs in his short career) and the ability to hit big then he would be even better. If anyone should be out of the Indian side it should be Yusuf Pathan.

 

[McLOVIN]

LOL Killed!!

What's more shocking that Zims dont have 1 SINGLE fast bowler. Only 1 Med. pace. So it wasnt the bounce, it was the spinners.

 

[Sobi]

Who cares is India lost this match or even the tournament. It is deperessing but we shouldn't forget that this is not the typical Indian side. Maybe these players are good but lack the experience. Indian selectors are piece of shits. They are missing something called "brain". why would you send Indian A side to international tour when there are other tours available for A teams. to clean up the Indian cricket mess, get rid of the root of the cause, which is of course the Indian selectors.

 

[surendar]

This reminds me long time back sharjah series - Ind/Zim/SL where India & Zim reached finals. May be SL & Zim in finals this time?

 

[Sahil 7]

yesterday India lost because of openers Both Chennai Players Playing Like A Test Match.They Not Took Any calculated Risk .this both player should not get any chances for indian team From Here onverse

 

[sami ullah khan]

I got one word for Indian Performance.
Gutless

 

[King Cricket]

I wouldn't have been so upset with this defeat had our boys fought a bit before biting the dust. But not in a single player did I see this attitude. Jeez! Looks like our reserve bench is inconsistency personified. It really sucks when a team which trounced Sri Lanka just a day or two back surrenders to a side like Zimbabwe.

 

[icyman]

The openers were treating the match like a Test Match.

I'd now like to see Naman Ojha open the batting as he is pretty attacking. Also, I dont mind saying that the bench strength is suited only to the domestic format. They tend to lose their aggression while playing against the International teams.

I'd also like to point out that Raina's captaincy is nowhere near the world standards. For the future, I seriously would not like to see him captain an Indian side again. It also beats me as to why he was chosen to lead over the heads of others who have led India at some level or the other.
i.e
Virat Kohli led India U-19 in Malaysia 2008
Dinesh Kartik has been a captain/vice captian for the U-19 on many a occassion.

Raina has been neither.
