sankar	it is good for india and mainly for players like sachin and others who have failed to score atleast double score against him and sachin pays more money to mcgrath and learns how to defend atleast ausies bowling ( Posted: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 at 19:53 )

Ashok Kumar	I am in full agreement with one of our former cricketing greats, who once famously commented that Mr McGrath is a highly overrated bowler. Why do we continue to "sir pe chada ke rakho" these foreigners when we have owr own ex players who are better if not as good as these outsiders. Be it for the jobs of coach, teacher, advisor. consultant, expert etc.,. ( Posted: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 at 16:31 )
Accept the facts. Our players had been only after individual achievements. See this man is retiring just after receiving the player of the tournament in a world cup and winning the world cup three times successively. Can you compare any indian player in the same basis. Our players wil stop only when they are kicked out ( Posted by das prakash on Wednesday, May 09, 2007 at 18:50 ) Hy Mr. Prakash Lara bowed out with his country not reaching even semi finals . does that means he was also playing for individual records??? Not everyone gets fairytale farewell as Mcrath has get. He has worked day in and day out and deseves the respect, but that does belittle others efforts.....

INDRA B.	Forget mental thing ! In sports, you need body to execute mental thoughts. Aussies got great sports culture in their country. I have seen people going to jog during lunch break in australia. I lived in delhi , calcutta, mumbai on a given day i haven''t seen 1% of population taking part in any sports. To reap benefit of Mcgrath''s visit we need to have some sort sports culture in our country. ( Posted: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 at 16:16 )


Kalidas	Many years back, BCCI had requisitioned services of a psychologist. Expectedly, this was a solitary event. Without sounding caustic, Indian cricketers need an expert in that field before they malign another great cricketer. ( Posted: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 at 15:50 )


Shridhar	Why only Ranji players. I think even Zaheer, Munaf and Irfan require this. ( Posted: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 at 15:17 )
not zaheer,munaf, irfan, i think srisanth, rp singh & vrv singh, mr shridhar if u do not have any cricketing knowledge than dont comments on it ( Posted by murtaza on Wednesday, May 09, 2007 at 16:22 ) Murtaza, why not Zaheer, Munaf, and Irfan? Zaheer has long had disciplinary problems and is more aggressive in his behavior than with the ball, Munaf carries himself like a 70 year old on the field, and Pathan is a wreck! It appears that its you who lack cricketing knowledge, though I agree with you that R. P. Singh with his half-trackers needs mental focus. ( Posted by Ravi on Wednesday, May 09, 2007 at 19:04 ) Please read my comment carefully, I said that every bowler in India, irrespective of his seniority requires tips from McGrath ( Posted by shridhar on Wednesday, May 09, 2007 at 17:54 ) Murtaza, why not Zaheer, Munaf, and Irfan?

Our permier bowlers do need tips from this legend. Hope, they will learn a few tricks from this great bowler.
