Definitely a great victory to celebrate. [LIST] [*]Gavaskar's comments when he said that the team should sit and introspect in a couple of weeks, as to what worked and & what didn't. [*]Emergence of players like Praveen, Rohit, Ishant, Gambhir & Uthappa. [*]Dhoni's excellent captaincy - He was calm ...

After a long time, Aussies's dominance is seriously questioned and this is a good opportunity for other serious teams to build their strengths. At least we can have a better world cup than the last 3 ones. With Hayden & Ponting likely to retire within a year, Aussies will have to built a brand new ...

It's 95/5. Only Dhoni, Pathan & Uthapa left, i think they will end up some where between 160 - 180 at best!!!

Gambhir played very well and so did Rohit Sharma. Yuvraj and Raina should find a place in the team & they should work their way up.

Is that why India plays more ODI's than Test Matches. The interviewer was laying out the ground to create a conterversy from Shah's ...

Players like Pollock, Gillchrist and Mcgrath would be respected for leaving the field in a diginified manner. In India, only Gavaskar left gracefully. Why can't some of our seniors leave gracefully, especially Dravid and Ganguly.. Tendulkar has always been a class apart and i hope one day he will ...

Desimams feels Sreesanth is going to be whacked all over the ground!!! BTW, it seems Sreesanth's brother adds up ...

It appears as though we don't feel comfortable seeing experienced players not in the team. The Big three (Sachin, Dravid & Ganguly), undoubtedly are among the best players in the world and any team would love to have them performing for their respective teams. But, we should also look at the ...

I wonder what will happen if Mrs.soomdybhai reads hubby's posts in R2I forums!!!:emsmile: :emwink:

back_in_des, Seniority could be defined as a function of age or as a function of international experience, i was going with the latter. (especially from ODI standpoint) Symonds (180 games), Gilchrist (277), Hayden (153), Ponting (288) in Aussies as against Sachin (407), Ganguly (311), Dravid (333 ...

It is high time that these seniors step down. India is the only team in the world that has more % of seniors in the team. Ganguly has played 4 world cups and let's face it his chance is over. Dravid was around for the same time, but he didn't get a chance to play 96 or 99, i think. But that's bad ...
