Hi guys Can I request be taken off the team in case I am still being selected? Been doing a lot of self-searching of late and continuing forward with this virtual idiocracy would be double standards for me. Not sounding harsh as I enjoyed the early couple of seasons but got more important...

That's the problem with Indian media as they seem to have forgotten how well Dhoni has performed in the past. Also he has the right explantion and sound attitude when it comes to loosing unlike our ex-captains. And on a given day, there's only one winner and that can't be India all the time.

G'day g'day! Didn't quite work out for India though to be fair most of the players were pretty tired from the IPL. Also hopefully selectors will realise that players like Jadeja, Gambhir lack powerful shots and are better suited for slower paced One day game. Rohit Sharma surprised me but...

Perhaps wrong place ask but are we going to bump up wicketkeeper averages to batsmen level?

Sorry guys, totally overlooked this section especially with IPL and all that. Gonna be active now, am usually busy with work etc but can find time to post so no worries.

Could be KKR, seems to be the trend so far lol

Yeah. ad-free cricket and plenty of cheerleading action in between. I feel sorry for my Indian friends.

I think everyone performed in patches but Dirk Nannes didn't do that bad. Other names come to mind are Sudeep Tyagi, Manish Pandey, Kamran Khan, T. Suman, Naman Ojha and Shadab Jakati. There are others but we knew about their skill and potential from last year. The most stand-out for me will be...

Now matter how much we oppose, I have a strange feeling that this may just happen. We may see a shortened version of IPL being hosted in either Canada, USA or Dubai etc. pretty soon. About T20 World cup, I reckon it'd still be enjoyable and worth watching but the 50 over World Cup will suffer...

Oh yeah I almost forgot about Kumble. He deserves no 1 spot alongside Gilly.

Well in that case, it all goes back to when the IPL started. I expected Delhi to field Warner, De Villiers, Vettori and McGrath but they went with Dilshan and Nannes combo and it worked for them unexpectedly. What they didn't plan on was giving proper breaks to each and every player. Winning and...

Gilly for his leadership and instilling the confidence in his team - 3 points Hayden obviously for being consistent - 2 points Raina for his bowling and timely runs - 1 point (deserves 2 points though)

Perfect! And Abhishek don't give us those links. I hate IPL's website with passion and will never register an account there.

Yeah or if Ponting returs to IPL next year, he may persuade KKR camp to hire McGrath. Either ways he's got to give it a shot one more year.

Yeah, those were my own impressions. Everybody has their own way of looking at things and I have my own. About Rohit Sharma, well the T20 World Cup is not far away and we will all see. He is well suited for test selection though and a good replacement for Yuvi who will never succeed as a test...

Averages don't win you IPL as have been proven to be the case with most other players too. A good spell of 2/20 from Vettori would have done the trick. And when you have a limit of 4 international foreign players than you better pick match-winners. Warner didn't win them any of the games barring...

I think people are taking this McGrath issue too seriously. I believe Delhi lost the game 2 down in the first over and not playing Vettori. A score of 180 was defendable as that would have put lot more pressure on the likes of Gilly etc. Really what was the point in playing Warner since he...

I think McGrath may end up playing for another team, I am sure Rajasthan Royals can take him.

Perfect ending, I wasn't interested in knowing about his identity. The point he was trying to prove is something that almost 90% of his readers have not understood yet judging by the comments all round.

Yeah I know but I look at the big picture and notice how players perform during the key moments in a match. Stats though keep your job but often are irrelevant.
