I have noiticed that in 8 of 10 matches he is the most economical bowler. He may not take as many wicket but does keep the batsmen in check.

Very economical. he may not be consistent but does either get wickets or bowls economically. Definitely deserves and earns his place on the team till next world cup. If he can be destructive in west indes, it would be great

This achievement is a result of the joint effort by all of above, all really wants to keep their role best in this.\nVengsarkar being new in this team deserves less ( eventhough inclusion of Jaffer, a big blunder)- \n\nWhat this Chappal & Dravid handle with our team, nobody understand.Their selection of final XI batting / bowling changes in each matches, nobody can digest.\n\nLet us look about the recent stories.\nAfter the continous failure of batsmen they never tried to shruffle the batting order according to their ability. They says to have done experiment with Pathan at no.3, that is not much a hilarious idea. Many punch hitters have been sent to these positions and been succesful for all teams. Even Chetan Sharma scored a century at no.3. So sending as Pathan as a punch hitter according to circumstances we can admit, but how we can consider him as a top order batsman..?\nThey never tried Dhoni at no.2 or 3, who can stay around and also go for big hits after being settled. Insted of Pathan they could have tested Dhoni Yuvraj or even Raina as one more chance. Since middle order batting collapsed worstly, Dravid had to get down upto no.5 or 6 followed by Sehwag.\n\nIn DLF cup Sreesanth was called back & he bowled well against WIndies & the next match he has been dropped.\nAgain in SA, Pathan & Sreesanth was included in the 1st match.After the match has been abandoned without a ball being bowled for the second match surprisingly both were omitted. At least 3-4 continous chance should be given for a player to evaluate his performance.\n\nWhat way these guys are thinking, nobody knows. Then Y this consideration is not giving to substitute batsman for long time in place of Raina or Kaif.\n\nOn recent performance of Indian team, a rotation base experiment of players, ( as Australia did before & hence became the best) since we have numerous young talents as well as experienced ones.\n\nThe present Indian team is not bad, but the utilization of it is important. When they R replacing Sehwag it should be DKarthick who was succesful in one day games than Jaffer at domestic matches, and also a better competitor.\n\nBowling we have all are almost at same range, but in SA type of wickets it is better if they go for Saheer,Munaf, Sreesanth,Pathan & Kumble ahead of Agarkar & Harbajan.\n\nHowever let us hope for the best in coming days...

Hi, kashikooler979, From your question it seems that u r a great lover of cricket..\n\nAbout Shane Bond, Yes he is the fastest and accurate bowler in the world of cricket at the moment. His greatest strength is to pitch the ball in the right spot and that to with the high speed and that too with complete accuracy. He hav control on all these qualities at same time. Brett Lee or Shoaib Akhtar are also quicks but they can achieve this right spot+accurate+high speed combination once in say 4-5 matches but not all the time. This makes bond superior. To be a CHAMP of game, the most important thing is to be consistant, Bond is a consistant performer. The only problem for him is the fitness. this is only threat to his career.... due to which he misses more than 2 years of cricket. otherwise his record would seems more impressive....\n\nAnd regarding Ricky Ponting, yes he is at his best in his career. Today again a century... And about your observation of converting 50's to 100's . I also notice that after reading your question and then going through records. He is also a champ.. I like his one quality most, that is he raises his standard of game to very high on a very important match.. Like finals and the situation when australia demands a big innings fron him. He leeds from the front on a very important match. This quality is missing in my favourite sachin tendulkar. He has a very bad record of finals he played.. But ponting's style is different.....

It's good to see Sehwag and Kaif performing. Other batsmen have spent a lot of time on Indian pitches, and Sehwag and Kaif have not. I guess they are adapting faster then the others. There isn't a problem in the team. The games were all close. Middle order batting needs some finetuning. The rest is fine.

I fully agree with you.  He is one of the best batsman with solid technique and defence in West Indies Team.  He is a perfect gentleman too.

A bowler can bowl only 20% of the quota of his team. Normally if the match goes full distance when his team is fielding, the team bowls 50 overs and he can bowl 20% of 50 overs, which is 10 overs.\nHowever, if overs are reduced on account of rain or calmity and the overs are reduced to 25 overs, each bowler can not bowl more than 5 overs. However, if the number of overs are not exactly divisible by 5 and you get fraction, i.e. if overs are 28 overs, than 3 bowlers can bowl 6 overs and rest two can bowl 5 overs each.\n\nIn short it can not exceed 20% in a full game and in case of reduced game match it could exceed 20% , but only by that fraction as explained above.

RAHUL IS IDEAL NO.3 BATSMAN.\n\nIF WE HAVE TO CHASE A BIG TOTAL MORE THAN 300, DHONI OR IRFAN CAN BE SENT.

I think Anil Kumble is second only to Murali.I even consider him to be better than the Great Kapil Dev in the bowling department.With Due respect to the other four in the list,there is no contest.

I think he lacks motivation for his players, he seems to want to be friend with his players rather than being the boss!  No good for sports - he's too laid back.  He must use all his passion in the bedroom cos he's pretty good in that department judging by the women he has had - lol.  He seems to have a group of players that he will never sub no matter how bad they are - he will never win anything with that attitude!  I'm afraid they should have picked a better guy to replace him as well the futures looking bleak for England.

sourav aint carryin' a gud attitude..agreed! but i really dun think d cricket board shud treat him d way they hv in d recent past..puttin him in and out so frequently knowingly dat he's d most successful captain India has ever produced..includin' him in tests and not in ODI's when dey know he's made 10,000+ runs in d latter form of d game... how can u expect him to perform at his best today whn he's again knocked of d one-day squad yes'day???

well i think he is a good player but not in form right now & he should not play in west indies!!!!!\n\n\n Batting Maestro Sachin Tendulkar is a silent crusader when it comes to charitable works undertaken by him. \n\nReluctant at first to open up on this aspect of his life, lest it appears as a publicity hunting stunt, Tendulkar says he has been involved in humanitarian deeds since quite some time and would continue to do his bit to help the underprivileged. \n\nSuccessor to Dr A P J Abdul Kalam in the Board of CARE Hospitals, Tendulkar says the hospital has been of great help to the needy, especially sportspersons of the state. \n\n"It was an honour for me when our President, Dr Abdul Kalam suggested my name to be in the Board of CARE Hospitals in Hyderabad in his place when he became the first citizen of India," said Tendulkar. \n\nTendulkar has been instrumental in the hospital taking care of total expenses for treatment of even state level sportsmen and women. \n\n"This includes even by-pass surgeries, besides different problems faced by sportspersons. The hospital authorities keep me posted about their work towards sportspersons," he said after the initial hesitation to disclose his charitable deeds.

He has done great for my beloved everton best buy of the season.  He does go down to easy but at this moment he is one of the best strikers int he Prem. He should get given a chance with engalnd and he could take us far. He needs a full 90 mins for his country to proove him self not 10 minutes here & there

Yes I think he is worth that sum. because the endorsement which he does has a very high shelf life. The value preposition is very high. For whatever reasons people recollect him very quickly and associate him with the product. And i would say that it was a gamble which satchi and satchi has taken. If sachin clicks in the coming WC then it will be a treasure for the consultants.

He is right person to be a captain of the team. He consistent than any other best batsmen in the world. The way he builds his innings is superb. Right now he is the only one took pakistan cricket to that level. His body doesn't cooprate with him in the fielding and running between wickets. Now he is having wounderful time in cricket.
