DADA IS BACK

The prediction was logical. Greg has reduced our
team to ' Gully level'. Even our gully cricketers would
have beaten the indian team, we have talent flowing in
every nook and corner of India.

Greg has destroyed all departments of the game - batting and bowling. We do not have good opening
pair in batting or bowling. Why think of Kumble and
Sreesanth when the chips are down.


We do not have a good opening pair in batting nor a good pair of pace bowlers to open the innings. A spin duo to make the kill.

Greg has destroyed the psyche of the Indian Team. He
has threatened the senior members of their place, when he should have encouraged them. His silly
experiments have costed India very dearly.

Pathan is a an emerging swing bowler. He had the potential to be the next Wasim Akram as far as swing
bowling was concerned. Where is he now? No where.
Greg made him a pinch hitter. You don't use your
prime bowlers to do the task of pinch hitting. A wicket keeper like Dhoni or Kallu (the Lankan wicket keeper) are ideally suited for the task.

Why a pinch hitter? Only when the middle order is
brittle. Greg has already broken the back of the middle order. The opposition had just to run through the tail. Congrats- for half the job of losing was done by Greg.

The Coach being a Aussie- I would like to pose one
question to him- Why is Glen Mcgrath prefered to
Bret Lee? I preassume the Kangroo has no answer to this.

Glen just pegs away at the middle stump, a nagging
line and accuracy is more important than just pace.

Munaf Patel and Sreesanth maintain a better line and length when campared to Agarkar or Pathan. They would have made a good strike pair. Simple logic - Hard to drive it into the Kangroo's chicken brain. With a Docile Dravid the Kangroo is bound to further experiment.

DADA and GREG are at logger heads. The quicker the Kangroo takes a mighty leap into Australia the better.

Good Days ahead for Indian Cricket.

KHO KHO KABBADI and CRICKET

These really make strange bed fellows.

What are the muscles that come into play
when you play a square cut or hook the ball?

What are the muscles that need to be strenghtened
when you want to bowl an expresss delivery?

What are the muscles that are torn when you
play Kabbadi?

When will the Kangroo Coach realise these?

WAS SHARAD POWAR INSULTED?

The sight of Mr. Sharad Powar being brushed aside on the dias by Ricky Pointing and his team was humiliating. Every Indian worth his salt should have protested.

Had Ricky done this to the Austrialian PM, what would have been the reaction from the Austrialians.

Ricky has proved one thing for sure- 'That is he is all
brawn and no brain' we do have uncivilised brats in
the sports arena. This Kangroo's behavior was really repulsive.

The person giving away a prestigeous TROPHY on the
dias is not the groundsman, he was a Union Minister
and the BCCI big boss. Damien Marytn should have the basic common sense to honor the Guest of honor.

I do hold the organisers responsible for this debacle
'You have hordes of security personnel escorting every small time politicians'. Why were things not
properly organised. The Austrialian team should have
been allowed to come on the dias after Mr. Powar leaves the dias. It was pity that no one was escorting
the guest on or off the dias.

It was the duty of the organisers to educate Ricky on the Protocol.
