> India Red surge to 21-run win (Challenger Series)

dip, chappell ke din poore ho gaye hain.
if dada comes into the team, chappell kee khair nahin

SN sorry to disappoint you Dada needs

Dada

have to say he looked the best of the greens today.

well bad luck, but he was playin better and will do better next time.

For a man who has a sword hanging over him, he did pretty well. I am not happy but i am sure he will do well on Tuesday.

FYI kaif got out on 0? also i guess. You have to compare performance. How many people are performing? they still are in the team.

^ Pssst, others are in the team - Dada needs to perform amazingly well to get into the team - chucking few players in the process.

Its only when you are out that you need to give more than 100% to make sure you stand out and get into the team.

Challenger trophy is his golden chance to make a point. Lets see, more games to go. But for his sake i hope he pulls of some magic or it will be a case of too little too late.

-----------

India Blue rode on a batting masterclass by Sachin Tendulkar to thrash the Greens by a massive 268 runs and assure themselves of a place in the final of the Challenger Trophy...

ok i will be blunt.
Mr Sachin better startshowing his "masterclass" when it matters.

When it matters, he scores a duck and i am not alone to say that. Yes its a hard statement to make but when you cannot perform at the big stage you are as good as useless.
If you are going to refute what i justsaid, show me examples.(barring one sharjah tournament.. we all know about that and every player has 1 tourney like that when he plays 17 years of international cricket. Even dada had one superb tourney like that in toronto(against pakistan with the ball)

^ Cool then, let Dada make it to the team. Once he does that we would do a comparo between Tendu & Dada

One thing you forget to mention is - you have to win X matches to play that one Crucial Match. By your theory Tendu performs great in those X matches but fails in that one match. So my question is maybe we should not have even made it to that one big one, without Tendu showing his genius

I blame him for taking us to Finals He is very mean & selfish

Dada is dead. Next match he plays will be his final chance to impress the selectors.
Couldnt score today. And i dont think even if he slams century hes gona make it to final 11 based on that performance.
Today was almost do or die situation and he died

when did i say performs in the finals

lol were we in the finals in the tournament that just finished? Don't assume things. Playing well when its the first match of a tournamant or against bangladesh isn't greatness.
when it matters means when you need it from him and thats even during league stages, when the pressure is on, there is someone who cracks.

7 years back rahul dravid was declared dead.
for reasons known to everyone.

After matchfixing, Mr jadeja was declared a traitor and dead. today he comes to give his expert opinions to us.

Robin singh made his actual playing debut at age of 30+. He was dead before that.

In cricket no one is dead till he thinks he is. We pronounce everyone dead and everyone great based on one innings. Well thats our mentality.
