Re: Ind Vs SA in South Africa
I think swapping Rohit for Jadeja would also be a good move for Durban. So, Yadav for Ashwin and Jadeja for Rohit would be my suggestion for the Durban test. Dhawan needs to be put on notice. He talked big about being able to play on bouncy pitches etc. but flopped in all the matches so far. As I sp...

Re: Ind Vs SA in South Africa
Well, maybe freak was an extreme usage from me. What I mean to say is the confluence of all these even ordinary occurrences. I am not sure dropping Zak is going to help. He did about as well as once can expect. I am surprised about the calls from some to drop Rahane. For someone making his debut in ...

Re: Sania Mirza - General Discussion of tennis matters
So, they don't have funds but have ideas such as having a physiotherapist and fitness coach for traveling players? How much did this event raise? Hardly a reason to turn into a fan of the ITPA yet, IMO. Still seems an ego match to me but it is better if players' ego are in control rather than the mo...

Re: Ind Vs SA in South Africa
This test has hidden the fact that India has escaped due to a number of freak occurrences in the same match that went in India's favor. This will likely not happen again, ever. Except Pujara's and Kohli's batting being assured, here are the freak occurrences that saved India: 1. Freak dismissal of A...

Re: Ind Vs SA in South Africa
Once again, we have done well to get the all of the major batsmen out cheaply. This is where I wish that our tail had contributed a total of at least 50 runs with three good batsmen playing with the last five wickets to fall. And, please no gifting away the advantage to the opposition tail. This is ...

Re: Ind Vs SA in South Africa
Wow, this must be a first. No posts here for the first test match in progress. Anyway, playing with Rahane, Kohli has scored a century, India are four down for 186 as I type this. Vijay (6), Dhawan (13), and Sharma (14) contributed little. Pujara (25) a bit more, but was run out. The scoring rate is...

Re: Indian Badminton Thread ...
I'm sure Saina is tired -- of losing -- this habit, as reported, needs to be dealt with severely. There has to be some form of penalty. Unfortunately, in India, rules don't apply to people with connections. They can bypass the queues, not follow the rules, and still demand special treatment. And we ...

Re: Men's Junior WC 2013
This dying minutes goal again points to the mental toughness aspect. We need to make it a habit to protect the lead, or better yet, stamp our authority to pile on a goal or two to earn a psychological advantage. When the opponents are down by a big margin, there should be more chances to score some ...

Re: Men's Junior WC 2013
A lot of our problems can be solved if we use the middle of the field more. I don't know if this is the "Indian" style of hockey that is mentioned in the circles, but even if we have 60:40 possession time advantage, we waste 50% of this time in long passes, passes from almost 2/3 of the fi...

Re: India in NZ, 2014
The RSA ODI series is over, not test matches. I'm waiting for those. ODIs don't mean much. They went along the expected lines. My expectations are better in the test match format. Let's talk about NZ after that.

Re: Ind Vs SA in South Africa
I am scared that Ishant was successful here. If he was, the SAF quicks, even without Steyn and Morkel, could yet be handful. Anyway, somehow we think we are better chasing. Maybe today? And, the 20 year old Quinton proves that it is better to give the young ones a go. No point waiting too long to jo...

Re: Men's Junior WC 2013
Well, I own this loss. My youtube channel got stuck at halftime. Finally, I got it going and found we were leading 3:1. Can you believe that I restarted watching in those exact 90s when we conceded two PCs? There is a beer commercial on right now about this, but I should really stay away from watchi...
