Ah ha

TO in the never post mode until India wins.

Strange that you don't post often?

He has a life.

Only when India wins it seems

I must say Rohit Sharma looked quite good today. Correct, assured.

What a difference youth and enthusiasm can make has been shown without a doubt. So will India learn from this and get more ruthless in shifting those dying carcasses and make way for today's players or will they still keep picking those honorary heroes over and over again ?

So, Josh, what should be the team?

I've been holding this back since taipan was in a bad mood, but not anymore.

CHOKE-DE INDIA!!

I'm done now, thank you.

From ODI's would ease out Tendulkar, Ganguly & Kumble over the 3-6 months progressively. Dravid may have a little longer depends on how he handles the post Captaincy era, my guess is that he will be easier than Sachin and Sourav.

Guys like Rohit Sharma and Tiwary should get longer runs. And on the Captaincy side it would be dangerous and disruptive to have two different ones for the different versions and you know who I favour there.

Kumble's already out and the other two you have mentioned will be going out soon, if not 6 months then in 8 or a year.

And do you mean Karthik or Kaif?

Why exactly would Dravid have a little longer? In ODIs? And what exactly was wrong with the way Sachin handled his post-captaincy period? You don't like Sachin much do you?

josh, sachin-saurav put up 3 century stands in the natwest series. those were the 3 games india won.

sachin will probably retire after the aus/pak odis anyway. ganguly might continue for another year or so, ease the youngsters in.

RP Singh's grown on me. I'll be the first to say he never looked too good to me. He's proving me wrong.

Munaf will have to really work hard to get his spot back, and that can only be a good thing.

yeah i never rated RP either a year ago. he's come on well. the challenge, as always for an indian pace bowler, will be to push on from here.

I never thought highly of him either. Hopefully he doesn't turn into another Nehra.

He's got the fielding for it.

With that I think I'd better try and sleep. It's 5 and even the bowl-out win didn't keep me up this long.

Good night.

Ta ta.

So let me get this straight...

The Yarpies won 4 out of 5 games in this Cup thingy...the Indians have won 2, Australia has won 3.

And India and Australia are in the finals and the Yarpies are out.

Hella funny.

Congrats India, just read that Yuvraj didn't even play in this match. Sorry SA.

India have effectively won 3.5/4 out of 5 too (match against Scotland washed away; Pak match was a tie, but a moral victory).

"Moral"? If you say so

What was so immoral about India's victory, may I ask?

What was "moral" about it? Must get to sleep, bye.

You tell me what was immoral. If you can find nothing that was immoral about the victory, it must've been a moral victory. Sound logic, no?

I actually did visit there a couple of times after that match. Just curious to know what those people thought about India's "victory".

tosser. another person who knows nothing about choking and then throwing a big hissy fit.

obviously reading skills are not big on your agenda.

I said SA deserved to lose.

Not like the Aussies who feign indifference

Meh, what do you care taips, aren't you now an honorary Aussie? But still, there are few things funnier in cricket than watching Sooky try to convince the world that the Yarps are not chokers. It must be absolutely galling for Saffie supporters to see their team choke from an unchokable position AT HOME, yet again.
