Manu dont u feel the way Ashwin is bowling that he needs to be kicked so hard that either he bowls well or then gets dropped ?? So who are the other choices for off spinner in this country ?? I feel Harbhajan is still no 1 and capable of bowling better than Ashwin .. However, this is going to be the epic Sachin thread ..
Fact is - no one is jus willing to perform. Be it Ashwin, or Harbhajan, or Chawla, or any damn Indian Player. They play to their will. People were talking so much of Rahane - he has committed suicides in both his innings. If they were genuine wicket taking deliveries, u cud have understood, but no. These were genuine suicides. U dont want such players at any level, in any form of the game.
Takes me back to the 90s when I would switch off the
tv set when he got out. One of the greatest Indian sportsmen. Glad we will see him in Tests, still.
When he doesnt perform, he is abused, and then when he retires, people say "Its sad, end of watching cricket". I dont understand the logic here - anyways he wasnt performing, what exactly u guys were watching in the past few matches? His lethargic innings, where he wud walk in, labour to a few runs & then fall to a nonsense sort of delivery?
Definitely a great loss! Ah where do i start.. The inning at Auckland, the hundred against Kenya right after his father's demise actually it takes a lot of heart and compassion to do something like that even if you are a sportsman. The Sand Storm inning, which is one of the best ever I witnessed til date, and also the one in the finals, and the inning against Pakistan, his first hundred in Australia against Australia was special and also I reckon he scored 91 at Brisbane and we went on to win the CB series, the 175 against Australia was really special and we handed the game to Oz on a silver platter. yes #Rodeoz almost 90% of the people would do the same once he gets out. The greatest player ever that the generation would witness and miss! A half a goodbye Sachin!
I hope that was reference to 2 different innings!
