This will only help India. Dhoni is a hack with the bat and less said about his captaincy the better.

Of course he doesnt know that Indians dont get channel 9.

That's a good idea but probably won't happen with the BCCI. I think there is a ban on Indian players from playing county cricket. IPL has taken over Indian cricket and destroying it. Watching Dhoni, I get the impression that Dhoni doesnt care about competing in tests since he makes buttloads of...

Yes and I hope for Indian hockey's sake, that its not too commercialized. In cricket these days, I only see overpaid hacks who are too busy making money on IPL and commercials and not showing heart where it counts. Fast bowlers in India have another enemy. Nobody wants to go to the ground...

Er, bollywood looks and brahmins are not always synonymous. I'm not brahmin but I'm bollywood material. Maybe as a bad guy :D.

Take Indian hockey for example. It is our official national sport :eek:. You need a lot of stamina to play it. You won't find many brahmins there. I'm not saying there aren't any but less. If you look at our sporting history, we have had more success at hockey than any other sport. Until 1980s...

They are all muslims. Technically Islam forbids caste distinctions. But since they are all from the same/similar culture as the hindus and their ancestors were hindus, some of them follow caste. I'm not really sure. Maybe these guys slipped through the cracks in the lower levels and their...

Yup. I'm from the same state as Ashwin. In the late 90s, almost all the batsmen from the state team were brahmins (higher caste). Its weird considering my state was the first to oppose caste discrimination and only 2% of the population is brahmin. Ashwin is a brahmin. Tendulkar, Dravid...

They must have played street cricket. Pretty much every kid in India plays in streets. It reflects in the manner Dhoni and Sehwag play. Wont work in Perth though :D. Dhoni worked as a ticket collector before he got the national callup.

There are not much discrimination in the selection for the national team but caste politics happens in lower levels (state, schools, etc) which is even more asinine. Since national selection is more or less based on merit, the whole shindig appears unbiased but it is not so.

Don't know why? India cannot produce fast bowlers and Pakistan cant find good batsmen.

Vijay and Raina are hacks. Good for only IPL. Kohli has potential. Sharma and Pujara are the new hope.

Greg Chappell had interesting ideas but had a shit way of implementing them. He has zero man management skills. I have heard he spoiled one of your domestic teams too. So its not just India even though India has the rare ability to destroy itself. Good part of his tenure was that Ganguly got the...

That's because our selectors want to milk the cash cow that is Sachin. Money hungry ****s. Players will play until they are old geezers. Its the selectors who should tell them to get the hell out.

Thats an understatement. We are in big trouble.

Here, here.

But Mcgrath denied calling Jayasuriya a monkey. But Jayasuriya and the non-striker heard it. Something you ignored in your comment. I wonder why?

Thought one of you will open the monkeygate. You tell us we bitch about it when Mcgrath called Jayasuriya a "black monkey" and when Lehmann called a SL player a "black ****", but you have to bitch about monkeygate all the time. This is the hypocrisy I was talking about.

That is the biggest lie I have heard :)

Good one :D. BTW whats up with Haddin. He used to be a decent keeper. Is he old or what?

Agreed. We have a bunch of idiots in our country. I thought things will be different here with Aus being more developed and all. I have seen comments like "They(Indians) are all cheaters" here. Whats up with that.

I'm an Indian fan. I registered but still waiting on approval. They are as slow as Laxman in the outfield.

Ah I think I have watched one on youtube. Isnt that the one where they mimic Richie Benaud's commentary

No I expect no hypocrisy. If you dish it out, you should be ok to take it too.

Fine but when an Indian fan does it why do you all bitch about it.

What's with you australian fans celebrating wins by saying "piss off", "**** off". Surely you won but why the nasty attitude.

How many australians walk?

Well done Australia. Enjoy the win. Your team looking great.

Yes that's why India was any good the last decade. And also Sharma in 2008 was a welcome break from bowlers like Prasad. But everything is going to shit now. India will be crap for this entire decade unless selectors do something.

Yeah the guy that edges to slips at the smalles hint of bounce is going to 'plunder' a big hundred. youre kidding me.
