Jaymin bro India still needs to re think their bowling attack .. Pravin Kumar was such a good bowler who could swing the ball both ways .. he is plain mediocre now .. ashwin has shut the doors on harbhajan for sure ... zaheer is the best but India needs him more for test matches .. umesh yadav again is over rated really .. he has pace and thats excellent but he needs to focus more on line and length also, we dont want someone like a shoaib akhtar do we who had no sense in bowling ?? Ishant sharma is again too old at 21 -22 whatever his age is he behaves 50 + .. RP Singh is decent .. Sreesanth is also pretty good but again can get wayward but i would rather have him in my team than few names above .. Irfan pathan oh boy this guy will remain a mystery, I was a big fan of his when he used to swing the ball, still remember his hatrick against pak in pak during one test match ..
As far as batting is concerned we are pretty settled and yuvraj sings return will make middle order rock solid .. now coming to your analysis on 2015 WC .. You are dead right that by then gambhir,sehwag,yuvraj,dhoni etc will be the seniors but even raina , kohli and rohit sharma will have loads of experience and wont really be new comers how they were for the 2011 WC .. so in reality I dont see any room for sachin .. and dont u feel he playing the 2015 WC will be just too much to digest because he will be close to 42 and thats a old age for any sports person ...
U r not getting my point Gaurang!
Our bowlers performed bad. But look at the other side - did the Guls or Cheemas or Ajmals or Hafeez's or the Riaz's perform? Riaz had a 5-for when they played against India in SF. The wicket was such, that no bowler cud perform there. I m actually still wondering why the scores werent in the range of 400s! I guess it was still the experience of the bowlers to bowl on Subcontinent wickets which saved such a situation. Put the Steyns the Morkels the Andersons the Broads of the world on wickets like these and they will be belted even more. They have always played on pacer friendly wickets, so will perish badly in conditions like these.
Other side of series which we missed -
Neo Sports: Can cricket commentary now be bought? | Firstpost
Neo is following IPL broadcast standards!!!
----------
SVK since you have bought the topic of coverage and commentary in this thread then let me add my input to that .. I just saw the last 10 overs of Indian Innings last night and my head ached .. I think towards the end NEO actually showed 3- 4 L shaped ads inbetween 1 delivery .. what sort of coverage was this ?? We being Indians do we have to learn to live with this also or then some action can be taken against these sports channels .. Its plain ridiculious how yesterdays match was shown on neo .. it was more like the actual program was ads with cricket thrown inbetween ..
Well it just shows u how deep in trouble they are! And thats why, i consciously watched the match on DD, instead of Neo. Let them suffer further & further. Just want this company to Wind up officially. As regards complaining, i have been telling every now & then that if nothing, send ur feedbacks in numbers to these channels, but no 1 has the time for it!
