Team announced...Ganguly picked for 1st 2 tests.... may be 2nd test will b his last... selectors have provided him opportunity to retire gracefully... He deserves it...
As expected badrinath gets the chance... but I guess he'll play from 3rd test... surprised to see amit mishra(spinner) got the nod too... he played 3 ODIs in 2003 for India...

Here's the Indian Squad:
Anil Kumble (C), Virendra Sehwag , Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman, MS Dhoni, Ishant Sharma, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh, Munaf Patel, S Badrinath, Amit Mishra and RP Singh.
And that squad is for 1st 2 tests only...
Exactly Correct....
dada denies retirement rumors.
I can guess India can defeat Australia in this home series.Aussie pace men has nothing to do with Indian pitches and our spinners and batsmen will dominate the game.
Rohit Sharma was picked in the test squad against Sri Lanka, but wasn't given a single oppurtunity.
Now its Badrinath who has been picked in the squad...
Why wasn't Rohit Sharma persisted in the squad...
You just cant drop a player without giving him an oppurtunity....
Then something stuck me...
When Rohit Sharma was selected in the squad....Vengsarkar was the Cheif Selector....Both are from Mumbai...
Now Badrinath is selected in the squad....Srikanth is the Cheif Selector....Both are from Chennai...
May be this is the reason.....Dunno I may also be wrong....
Trivia:
Stuart Clark, the right-arm fast-medium Australian bowler is the son of Anglo-Indian parents, his father Bruce Clark who is from Madras (now Chennai) was a student at Christ Church Anglo-Indian High School, Madras, and his mother Mary Clark (nee Boosey) is from the Kolar Gold Fields, Karnataka, India

I used to hear about Brain Drain affecting India... Now we can cry about Game Drain too... :24:Originally Posted by jee.ramesh1983
Had Stuart Clark's parents hadn't moved to Australia....
He would have been playing for Team India...
And his debut would have been in his teens...Had Stuart Clark's parents hadn't moved to Australia....

He 1st played for Oz team when he was 30... :35:
so bhajji & hayden hit it off before the matches..
dada announces retirement plans..
hope the series lives upto the hype
I remember that ball pretty well... Tendulkar edged it to slips... And every one in media was thinking Warne will annihilate him easily in coming matches... Ian Chappel was jubilant & Gavaskar was on the guard... But things changed pretty soon... And Tendulkar demolished Aussies... He continued his brilliance at Sharjah with his 2 majestic innings in the last league match & in the Finals both against Aussies...
It flushes adrenalin thru the body even today.... Cricket was really lovely in those times. Somehow i dont really enjoy it as much now....
When Sachin Bats... Its same for me even today... His masterful knocks in the 2 finals in VBSeries against Aussies early this year showed his class again...
Don't know if I will watch cricket when he retires...
seriously...a true legend. Cricket has a very few of them.When Sachin Bats... Its same for me even today... His masterful knocks in the 2 finals in VBSeries against Aussies early this year showed his class again...
Don't know if I will watch cricket when he retires...
Whatever, but Sachin, Azhar, Jadeja.... even kambli, krish, manjrekar... miss them a lot...
i used to be a cricket fanatic till maybe five years ago...
then with the match fixin crap and stuff, it slowly faded away..
But somehow i cant relate much to the younger team, the team with Sachin, prasad, kumble, robin singh, jadeja, dravid, ganguly... was my fav
that WAS THE TEAM !! Cheers to them !
Well, I watch cricket matches even now...
Only difference is I used to watch ball by ball test matches of all top 5-6 teams at few years back... And now I watch ball by ball test matches which involve only India...
I'll be busy in morning... The D-day has finally arrived....
not a good 1st day...hopefully things will get better as the days go..
Australia has batted really well.. Indian batting in 1st inning will decide the test now.... If they don't come good... They will lose it... Pressure will be on...
Australia 430 all out
Hussey: 146 :clap:
Zaheer Khan: 5 for 91 :clap:
Ishant: 4 for 77 :clap:
India need to bat well to force a result in this test match...
India should apply themselves now... And try to take lead... cuz bowlers did a good job in the end to restrict Aussies to 430....
I am not able to watch the match... cuz dish TV isn't airing Neo channels... :32:
