brian	Hi there, Yeah australia won, you can have all these discussions, but the aussis are never going to lose to India again.. ( Posted: Tuesday , October 02, 2007 at 18:34 )


arti	ryan, I totally agree with what you have said, 20-20 is not a real indicator of how well a team performs, I would like to see jadeja, azharudin, srinath bought back into the team, than we would have a great indian team who can win the world test series and one dayers..

ryan	INDIA IS THE WORLD CHAMPOIN OF BASECRCICKET,, I.E BASEBALL AND CRICKET TOURNAMENT 20-20 Come on, are all of u Indians, like this, you won a baseball tournament and that too, because pakistan lost.. I hope all you can read english, look Australia are the best team in the world, and India if I were to rate them somewhere around 9th in the ranking, this is the same team that was defeated by Bangladesh in the last "real" cricket world cup, dont believe the hype cause its all about money.. Have you noticed the recent increase in coke and pepsis ads on tele, ok I rest my case. ( Posted: Tuesday , October 02, 2007 at 17:06 )
Ryan, isnt it too soon to gloat over one victory ? Dhoni is captaining his 1st ODI (that was palyed out in full). His spinners lost script in mid overs. Aussies got it lucky. They had their tails down twice quite early. So wait and watch. And soon memories of previous India''s wins and why they are a force in the reckoning will be known by example. And whats wrong with money in cricket? That gets you all these tourneys and academies - Aint it?

Subhasish	A nice article. Too much is being read from the 20-20 win though. ODI and tests require longer attention spans, endurance, and sometimes the ability to survive, besides the skill. It is difficult to lose 10 wickets in 20 overs or a bowler to exhaust himself bowling 4 overs, or the ball to require a change. The middle overs in the 1st ODI showed Dhoni needs to think differently in ODI which he confessed. For those who forget, these very juniors failed to be consistent in the ODI scene that led to the recall of the ousted seniors. So it is early to say that suddently we have cracked a puzzle and are all set to conquer the world on those merits. I think you have made a nice point about Selection and rotation. Hopefully the rotation policy that gets into the act soon will see the much needed balance in the team that we have been wanting tosee. The juniors need to be exposed, but in the presence of some seniors. The transition should be gradual and smooth so that the valuable knowledge gained can rub off to the next Gen.

Subhashis, What are you on.. 20-20 is the best format, and in my opinion, 50 overs and test series should be scrapped, I dont to want sit for 1 day and 8 days and watch a game, where I dont make money and other people make money,, Perhaps you were born in a rich family and you have plenty of time for horse polo and test cricket, but sorry mate, 50 overs and test series must be scrapped and I am sure everyone agrees with me,, if you dont remember India lost in the 50 overs but won the 20-20.. so howwwzzat that..

All this talk about how 20-20 is different from 50 over like this is nonsense,, if you play like a team with good players, you have every chance to win whether it be 50 overs or test.. Learn to open your mind and eyes cause you are still fast asleep, Subhasish.. ( Posted by ryan on Tuesday , October 02, 2007 at 16:46 ) Ryan, indeed I am yet to learn the secrets of consciousness that allows a myopic vision and a selective memory. My words will hardly open minds, as much as performance will. If you play/have played cricket, some of my words may make sense. Else, an opinon is always welcome. But nevertheles, my two paises of thoughts: -20/20 will dominate future cricket because of exactly what someone said- time/value of entertainment. - Test will remain the apex of cricketing skills. -ODIs will struggle to remain popular, but do require more skills than 20/20. Gilchrist emphasized the importance of toning down to get to the 50 format. Clarke showed how class can take a match away. So it is cricketers views against yours. Hence it is evident who needs to open up here. 20/20 require DIFFERENT skills and in some cases different kind of cricketers. The likes of Manjrekar or Gavaskar or Laxman will always struggle in the format, yet they were a delight to watch in Tests. I hope this helps clarify what I mean.

nkr	Well said. A good article. Its no good playing youngsters on the bacl of "so-called" rest to seniors. they should feel they are a part of the syste. the younsters shd know they will be in the squad the whole time than for a few unimportant matches when the seniors will be "resting". thats not fair. now the pressure will be on the "trimoorthy" to deliver. To all the people who say experience is important, why did we not make it to even the super 8''s inspite of having a very experienced team. there-in lies the answer. you need quick legs on the field. all of us know we are a poor bowling outfit & what r we doing abt it, bringing back trimoorthi''s, the 3 all time best fielders. look at 20-20 & u will know why we won matches defending, excellent fielding makes even oridinary attack look g8. karthik, rohit, robin, gambhir all were extraordinary in the field.
