hammerblow. batting now looks mortal with sehwag out too.

we were never going to win it anyways with our current pace 'attack'

Obviously all the extra layers of fat were no protection.

Yep, his fingers too got fattened.

Too bad, Kaif isn't there with his super slim figure to rescue Indian cricket.

Huge huge blow for us.

But for heaven's sake, please don't play Karthik. He is crap as one gets. Play with 5 batsmen if no one else is available, but just don't play Karthik.

Without Srikanth's influence, Karthik won't have been anywhere near Indian "C" team.

cricinfo recently did a piece on the top 8 teams stats since wc 07 (i think) - india were top in most the batting stats and rock bottom on e/r. so we've got to #1 despite the attack. and with a fully fit batting line up, id have backed us to win it.

agree sg on kartik, not suitable for LOI

For heaven's sake develp a sense of humour and lighten up. And don't turn into a bitch everytime somebody says something you are touchy about, which there are far too many by the way you carry on.

Touchy me? Its you who always gets touchy about your heroes.

The things you're preaching others could be followed by you as well? Eh?

So you think only you can add humour to your posts, others can't?

For heaven's sake why don't you get off your high horse and stop preaching others about something which you don't understand a bit?

And I see the choice of certain desperate words which go down well with your reputation or rather say a lot about your upbringing.

Ash,

I know we've a super filthy attack since time immemorial. How we still manage to win some series is indeed a mystery.

And there are still some 'know alls' who still mock Indian bats.

How did he injure his fingers?

Following Kirsten's advice?

a powerhouse batting line-up might get us across the line on some pitches. but through 5 tough matches away from home i dont see it firing all the time

we did well in 2003 due to the batting but also because the bowling was much better than what we are usually used to
