Australia's Tour of India - 7 ODI's

[SaiSrini]

Sorry but media is the representation of the majority of the population in most countries!

If just one TV decides to sensationalize it you can ignore it but how can you when all the channels literally prey on india's performance?

I know with money u cant buy WC... but if you have the money you can easily build up world class cricket structure in the country aided by best coaches etc and thereby improve the quality of cricket played rather than blaming it on luck :laugh

In India, the media 99% of the time does not represent the majority of the population. In India, money speaks the most powerful language, and people talk anything just for some sensational bytes and spice news.

However great a domestic system might be, there are a few instances where luck can favor you and not favor you. Having the best domestic system doesnt mean you win each and every series. What happened to Australia who have the best domestic system? Didnt they struggle with the retirements of Warne, Gilchrist, Hayden, McGrath, etc? Their fall in the last year or so was stunning, but now they seem to have rebuilt well (with enough experience for the newcomers under their belt).

Can someone please tell me on what basis you guys calling this series a "thrashing" for India? Seriously, this will rank as one of the best ODI series I've ever seen in my life!! Not a single match of the first five ODIs did turn out to be an one sided game!There were some stiff, nail biting competition in all of them which continued till the very end. How often do you see this in a 7 match competition? The only ODI where the Aussies actually "thrashed" us was the sixth one. And I'd just say that it was one bad day at the office. The scoreline simply doesn't reflect what type of a contest happened in this series. I would have said the same thing had India and not Australia won this 4-2 in a similar style like the Aussies. I doubt whether those who are saying that only one team dominated throughout this series have watched a single game here.

Remember they are an Aussie Z team. So even a close series is considered a "thrashing" for India :sarcasm

The series was so close that a single shot in two games would have reversed the result in the opposite side by the same margin.

Wow! We played just one bad game and people have already started to question the Indian domestic system. Great! :sarcasm

CNN-IBN, Headlines Today, NDTV 24x7...did these channels "sensationalize" our defeat?

Again yes. Thrashing sounds OK if you look at the series scoreline and the fact that there were like 8 first choice players not playing!!! :laugh


Would you mind going through the previous posts??
When you have 4 wickets and 19 needed of 18 balls and a batsman batting at 175 and still lose the game you really cant blame it on luck mate!! :rtfl



Not much of the indian media fan are you!! HT headline was like even worse! :laugh

Yeah your just Developing this into a meaningless argument here!
You are just saying that the indian media itself is a farce just because you dont like it!



Aussie Z team??? Now come up with a reason trying to devalue the aussie injuries!

So the Indian media are the best according to you and they always mirror the ideas and the tastes of the Indian people? So if the Indian media says "Aussies are moronic people and Ricky Ponting is the biggest buffoon in the whole world", they are right and that the whole of India feels the same?

Its not me. Its you guys who have been saying that this is Aussies C team,, D team, F team, Z team, etc. You guys have been so desperately trying to push your team down so much so as to make fun of India.

My argument is not meaningless. Its you who has been doing it. When I say something, you say something completely different and continue replying.

I can show you many examples like this of Australia losing the game so dont speak nonsense.

I was at the stadium today and the atmosphere even at 5 in the evening with all the rain around was electric. Only about 1/4th had turned up at that time with the cyclone threat around and it would have been impossible to know whether the game was a dead rubber or a live game. This is why the game is what it is in India. People might make fun of us and say that we are effigy burners and stereotype us but we love the game.

Disappointed that we could not get a game in and frustrated at that because November is not when it should be raining in Mumbai! :doh The weather God needs to go back to his classes and get his weather patterns clear:rtfl.

Well I have given up. There's no point in discussing something with a person who is spouting constant nonsense and is hell bent on ridiculing India for losing what was one of the most closely fought ODI series I've ever seen.

There are many of them who have come out of nowhere. Sad that people feel not supporting their home side is cool.

Absolutely true!

Gutted for Cockley, Holland and McDonald who all would have made their ODI debut and it would have been a great opportunity to see how they fare against a very good Indian batting lineup.

Yeah am gonna stop replying now... you are not getting the point and are starting to flog!



Ok, Indian team is the best in the world and only luck had prevented them from thrashing the aussie B team. And what bad cricketers aussies are, they should have lost this series!!! OK???? :sarcasm

Yeah thats what I thought as well. Would've been awesome to see them take on India - imagine we had won that match as well

 

[aussie1st]

Now that would have put the icing on the cake!

Have a look at this like:-

You can't understand the language as its the news related to Hyderabad. Before the 5th ODI, Indian Cricketers were partying at JC Diwakar Reddy's Home.
Who is KC Diwakar Reddy??
A) A Politician of AP.
Praveen Kumar was found having Cigarettes and Nehera with Bhajji were part of Cocktail.
Its the link Here. Lucky, if you understand. But its TRUE..!!
