Yesssss!

There is not only doubt, but also a real possibility that Yuki is not even a near top-100 player. If he were, there is no way that he should have lost the wild card playoff to a Chinese player equally ranked in the very low 200s. We have quite a few post-doc spin doctors in this forum.

There were many other videos posted next to Ambika's. I didn't realize this is the way you approch schools for tennis scholarships. Pretty good. I'm glad that Mr. Pande knows about it. To compare Ambika's game against her competition for a spot in the US colleges, I clicked on this one (random choic...

I watched this video. The forehand looks OK, backhand is so so, but the serve mechanics need a lot of work. Her serve reminds me of Sania's serving motion. Of course, I'm not an expert and have watched just a few minutes (not even the entire) of this video. But, good luck to her. The coaches at the ...

Yes, good to see that the draw didn't pit most foreigners against each other. What are the next round's pairings?

Here is more on SRT's family.

How family helps Indian great Sachin Tendulkar hold the world at bay

Sunil Chhetri shines as India hold Philippines in friendly Didn't see this reported in the forum. Does it count toward the ranking points? I am lazy to check but Philippines must be ranked above us (as is most everyone else except Vanatu etc.). This should please Jay. From Philippines Coach Weiss a...

As soon as Deonarine came on, I knew that my prediction is in trouble. SRT has always given his wicket to newcomers.

But, who knows, SRT might come out to bat even if India needs only a few runs to win the match in the second inning for India.

How about just whether he will cross 100 or not? It is not a meaningful milestone for him, but it has a symbolic meaning and an unwritten measure of success especially in his last match. I say he will cross the century mark. My prediction is 158.

Really? All of the four non-Indians got drawn to play each other? Again? This happens way too many times at local tournaments in India. Defies statistical probability.

Prasen, I understand what you're trying to say although you have cleverly skirted the issue that started this debate. But, that's fine. We don't know the context of SCG's remarks, so let it rest. On the selection for the Australian tour, I think the team was largely selected based on previous Austra...

Not you, again! Please do not restart your meaningless cut and post news on the size of stadia, the team's worth, etc. Pretty please?

Here is SRT's numbers since 11th October. 2010-2013 28 1607 146 35.71 2 2 1/5 92.50 An average of 35.7 over 28 tests. We have been carrying him for over three years in exchange for very mediocre performance. While I do not think that one can time things that precisely except in hindsight, I think a...

It is not about whether SRT is retiring at the right time. I agree that SRT has dragged on for too long. I completely disagree about the timing of Saurav's remarks. The occasion is not befitting of the response, no matter how refreshingly candid it is. What do other forum members think?

What good does it do for Saurav to make statements like these at this point? All the other things he says about SRT's greatness in this same interview seem an after-thought. He just comes across as a sour puss still pouting over his earlier than deserved retirement (in his own mind). What a loser! I...
