No doubt Doremi will attribute this to inside knowledge that Agarkar is playing.

Karthik needs replacing. A player that can clear the boundary rope is needed at his position. Who that is, I don't know.

Not only Karthik seems to be a poor bat in this form of the game, he is dropping catches quite regularly.

I think we need to differentiate between different formats of the game. He might've topped India's run tally in test series against Eng, but he seems to be a hopeless ODI and T20 cricketer.

You know when you have a brain freeze and can't spell mundane words. Well there it was.Very Happy

Indeed, we get to the semi' and all's ok again, despite our pish poor performances. Think we either take it too seriously, and then in KP's case just out to thrill, and then have a mental meltdown when chasing.

We do seem to take it seriously. Think KP has the right idea though, he needs to give us some impetus,

Impetus is all well and good, but reverse whacking Vettori?

Thats just plain stupid. Its infuriating, as he's been out to that shot twice, when its just not necessary.

Yes its a hit and giggle, but I still want to win it!

Not bored Danny of the T20. Has been good to wath, just bored of short format tuff full stop.

Think 7 ODI's followed by hit and giggle, followed by more ODI's in SL?

Inside knowledge? That would mean I was atleast hopeful they'd be wrong. It's common knowledge.

Cricinfo have him among the probables for this match. Ofcourse, that surely means Sreesanth is playing too, so congrats England.

Aye Chas, though we've hardly covered ourselves in glory of recent times so it was almost a welcome convalescence. Saying that, I was bored after match 2 of the ODI series.

This 'WC' was always going to be mildly intriguing but pale in comparison.

Aye. KP's 6, 4, 4 with the reverse sweep earlier in the tourny was amazing but he has undone it somewhat with the two dismissals to the shot.
