> Indian team

I'm still mad at myself 4 wastin my time... but anyways I made a bet of ten bucks on the aussies and won!! nd to boot Mr.chappals (pun unintended) is on vacation till the beginning of the champions trophy.
well the indians can always thank the team for not putting them in a dilema. imagine if the finals were between the windies and the indians, whom do we support? the better team or be patriotic and support the indian team..

lol
actually if they have any guts, they should cancel his vacation and tell him and his chelas that"masti kee paathshala" is over. Now its time for the grind.

dada ok. veeru ok. dhoni ok. irfan ok. Yella ok, Sachin yaake??

kick him out we've become too dependant on him. all the time he sccores a century, we lose.

LOL.. after yesterday's match, (which i spent the whole day watching unfortunately since i couldnt go to college)
Indian cricketers should all jointly write a book called
"Overrated Dummies' Guide on How to lose a Cricket Match"

Suppose we dont require Sporting Honesty & Integrity @Cricket in India,&
Only Super-professionals!

In 1983,under Kapildev,we wouldnot have won the World Cup

In 2003,Under Dada we wouldnot have made it to the finals & very close in winning it!

In 2006,Under CHAP-PAL,we r Out of even the Challeger Trophy!
...World Cup 2007 anyone???

We r afterall Now SUPER-Profesionals,even in "So-called" Defeats!,whichafter all doesnot matters so much now to the bunch of REAL PROS!..which have now Only BEST Refined their BEST Professional aspects !!!

Truly Indian Cricket has Ultimately evolved under GURU G!!!!!!

Anyway,this is Rationalisations r Ultimately made!

[sarcasm]guys wait for sometime ....experimentation goin on....chappel just needs time...give him 5-6 yrs and this Indian team will improve [/sarcasm]

seriously he shud stop experimenting now and stick to a particualr lineup.
WC is not too far.

Frankly i am getting sick of all this WC talk.
IS WC the end all of everything? We keep on losing everything in between, don't stress on test matches, or important tourneys and just say we going for WC.
Its looking stupid and is stupid. If you get knocked out in Wc (which there is every chance of, every team can have a good day in the super sixes stage) you have not only messed up WC but also messed up whatever earlier tourneys for the sake of it.

This may be off-topic but anybody feels the immense injustice done against the Indian team with its match against Aussie?

Both Bhajji and Dhoni were proven NOT-OUTS! Dhoni's was a clear no-ball from Bret Lee and there was absolutely no contact with the bat on Bhajji's.
Funny thing is, both were given out by the same damn retard umpire. One chance India had to win this and the Umpire screwed it up for them.

Its about time I feel Cricket needs a revision of its rules, Camera's should do most of the work to provide a fair atmosphere.

it goes both ways..
Dhoni was a real bad one(no ball should have been called). For bhajji well thats allowed. Its not the first time its happened. The charm of the game is in these things only. India has benefited also.

The point was they should not have been in such a situation in the first place. And bhajji won't have survived brett anyway.

Params, i agree with you cent percent.

Technology should play a more important rule. I disagree with above poster who says Bad Umpiring decisions are part of the charm of the game. What's so charming about getting it wrong - most of the games are being affected by bad decisions especially when it comes to crux or crucial matches.

Its high time, umpires and media stop giving excuses for bad decisions in name for
spirit of the game, charm of the game etc. There is an immediate need for overhaul when it comes to umpires and bad decisions.

About decisions going both ways, we don't want that - its better if we can get them right both ways. No one needs favors, we are here to win the game on Merit and not because of some umpiring decision going in our favor.
