Cricket - December 2007

In 2nd and 3rd test against Pakistan some of the critical l.b.w appeals made by Indian bowlers were turned down by the umpires. Re plays showed that batsmen were plum infront of the stumps. Actually in 3rd test, Simon Toufel must have been the Man of the Match. Because of his wrong decisions match was drawn. Otherwise India could have won the match.

I don't think so. Their bowling is so weak. Their batsmen are enjoying scoring runs on the flat pitches of India, can they bat on the Australian soil. Again I don't think so. They never learnt how to field. For sure Australia will white wash them in the test series.

About 2 days back, VVS Laxman got hit by Shoiab Akhtar's high speed delivery and ended up being retired hurt.

Who in this case would be at fault?

Is the bowler to be blamed because he should be aiming for the stumps, not the batsman elbow (since elbow is much higher than stumps) ?

or is the batsman to be blamed because he could have stopped the ball with his bat, but despite having a bat he still failed to hit the ball on time?

or it is neither the fault of bowler or batsman and its pure accident?

The declaration was late, there is absolutely no doubt about it.

The target of 370 to a weak batting team on a day 5 Indian wicket which looks scary with those cracks, and has uneven bounce was impossible to chase.

I know the wicket again misbehaved. It looked really bad but it behaved well for 3 and a half days. But in last 1 and a half day the wicket started behaving badly and a lot of balls kept low.

India did two wrong things today -

1) We played slowly on day 5 ( batting) - If there was any intention of winning this match, then we should have scored at a better rate. That didn't happen, only Karthik and Ganguly tried to score quickly. Obviously our super negative team was happy with a draw and they were really really not pushing for a win. India's slow batting on day 5 just proved it.

2) Late declaration - Since they were not playing to win this match so the declaration was never in the mind of our captain. They should have declared after getting a 300 run lead.

I think Sehwag is a good player no doubt about it but.....
It's a surprise call. First, Sehwag was not among the 24 probables (announced by national selectors earlier) and then you suddenly pick him for the crucial series against Australia.Sehwag should have played against Pakistan. He would have got great opportunity to strike good form

What do you all say?

It was unbelieveable how Andrew Symonds managed to hit the ball at the wickets but it was disappointing that he didn't get the batter out. Overall it was something good to watch. What about you Aussie cricket fans?

In last two matches , Pakistan are 14 players and Indians are only 11.
This is unfair as pakistani 11 players+ 2 umpires+ allah , all are playing for Pakistan.

Wasim Jaffer
Virender Sehwag
Dravid
Sachin
Ganguly
Yuvraj
Dhoni
Pathan
Kumble
Zaheer
Sreesanth

In total 15 players (4 replacements)
I would have Dinesh Karthik, Munaf Patel , RP Singh and Laxman.

I don't think Ishant Sharma is ready to face the tough experienced Australians quiet yet (even tho he took 5 wickets today against the weak Pakistani tail)

I chose Sehwag over Laxman because he as given Australia fits recently

The solid 5some of Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly, Dhoni and Yuvraj should match up with Australia's solid core of Ponting, Clarke, Hussey, Symonds and Gilchrist.

Pathan is a useful lower order batsman and a pace option that comes in handy with pace friendly conditions in Australia....thats why i left out Harbajan because I believe one specialist spinner is enough since the pitches favor usually pace bowlers. (we have Sachin, Yuvraj and Sehwag anyways as part time spin options)

what do you think?

which 15 players do you want?

which 11 should start the 1st test?
