Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

Wait, “I shan’t” is still being paid to play T20? Is it because of “that” one spell to Ponting eons ago? And, Ponting is making decisions for DC, right?

Re: ITF Team Juniors (u16 Davis/Fed Cup, u14 World Jun. Tennis)

I’m sorry; under-14 doesn’t say much. Does anyone have data on Indian under-14 players’ progress to Men’s? What about the rest of the world? How many of current top-100 (or past) play these tournaments? Just a few examples will help. This may not even be a very old competition.

Re: [Tennis] Misc. Results for Indians abroad...

Losing to Thai players is sorta becoming a habit for Indians these days :( It also seems that we have a tough time playing in Japan. Not sure of the data, but it just seems so. I wanted to but didn’t post that I saw Ankita losing this when I read about her Thai opponent and playing in Japan. And, m...

Re: Sumit Nagal thread

It’s come down to asking this question before the match even starts? Interesting.

Re: National Cricket Team Players (India)

I didn’t say who should be dropped; my reference to seniors was to not waste time trying to have Musheer and similar players wait too long for a place to open. I’m indifferent to who needs to make room for a player with Musheer like true all around ability that are in short supply.

Re: National Cricket Team Players (India)

Why is Musheer Khan not being fast tracked into the national team? We need a top order bat and a capable bowler like him desperately. Double in quarter, half in semis, and century in final. We shouldn’t waste too much time going through the baptism and letting “seniors” call
their own time.

Mohinder Amarnath over the likes of Vengsarkar and Viswanath, if they are in consideration. Even otherwise, as a batting all rounder over others would be a worthy consideration.

Re: WTT/WTT Youth Contender events

I had a racket with smooth on one side and pimple on the other. I used to use pimple on forehand—backhand was a liability, as it stayed in tennis forever. I could tell if a tennis player had played a lot of TT before picking up tennis by the way they hit the ball.
