More Cricket

Ishant sharma...the next of the Tall speed merchants that India seem to be getting..these days..

Munaf, VRV Singh...and now this guy..well ....good going..

He and the other guy Yo Mahesh, who has been knocking for a while now...seem to be the next of the lot..nad are making waves at the current series for India u19 against Eng u 19.

Seems like the time frame for Indian fast bowlers is really small..

Come in on the strength of domestic performances, catch some selector or some seniors eye, dazzle for a year or 2 and then fade away with Injury...

Zaheer, Nehra, RP singh and Balaji seem pretty close to the exit door, if they are not yet out already...

Pathan seems to be following them pretty close...

And yeh add to that mix...the bheeshma of our times..Ajit Agarkar...:-D

It will be fun to watch who among these will man the Indian bowling attack..for the world cup...

I see Balaji, Nehra, and Sreesanth plus Munaf and pathan to be there representing the team at the world cup...Just a hunch...but lets see....

While on it, the Indian board's decision to not have Tendulkar take the fitness test...smells of some dirty secret hidden somewhere...

I, for one, will be really surprised if Tendulkar plays thro the whole tour of SL without one flare up...or the other...

Seems like sweeping something under the carpet..Lets see...


And then Mongia...oh boy what a flawed selection this is gonna be....

Mongia has been in form, accepted..but only in the 4 day matches in the counties,in England..and his record in 50 overs and 20-20 cricket there
this season, has been pathetic...and in the last 5-6 matches he has been getting out in single digits in almost all forms of cricket...

Considering he is going to find it difficult to break in with Raina waiting in the wings, lets see whats gonna happen to him...


If recent form was a critieria, why would they leave out Zaheer..He has had some blow hot and blow cold but mostly on the hotter side..in his
performances since arriving in England..and would have been in the positive frame of mind, had he got a go..


While at it, for the last time...Goodbye Gangs..
As sehwag said, we will miss ya:-)


For more cricket, look at the links on the side...:-D
