India wins the 3rd ODI

So India win the 3rd ODI in Kotla by 6 wkts and now have a noose tightened across the Aussies. In last 7 games they have won 4 and lost 2 against the world champions. It also indicates that the Aussies are not the force anymore they were in ODIs.

If Yuvraj and MS were excellent today, then the Delhi kids were off color. May be they were pissed off the slow and low Kotla track, which is a typical Sri Lankan wicket. The more you talk high of MS and Yuvraj, thats less. The maturity of the guys led Indians to a 2-1 win. Sehwag was usually off color and Gambhir was cautious alongside Tendulkar who was looking good to go for a huge score ran out thanks to the fuckass bowler who came in his way.

Nehra another Delhi kid was off color. 0/51 in 9. Ishant Sharma, the other one went off color. So home kids were flop today.

The good thing about MS and Yuvraj is they bat well and bat fast. Quite like what Yuvraj did with Dravid before. Yuvraj and Kaif were one time poster pair of Indian cricket before Chappell finished off Kaif.

This batting line up looks more or less settled with just an occasional replacement for Tendulkar when he wont play.

I am not sure if Jadeja and Praveen Kumar have long role to play in this team. Jadeja doesnt inspire confidence that way.

For Australia Ponting opened just for 2nd time in 327 match career and gave a decent start to the side, but then the slow pitch was too good for their batsmen and they cud just post 229 runs.

Its very difficult to see Australia defending their 3 world cup titles in 2011. Tough.

4-2 or 5-2 prediction now seems very well possible for India. And hell, it would have been 3-0 for India right now.

Sangakara blames India for pitches, weather and food

Bugbear has gone mad. Total mad. He is now talking simple shit. He is characterless man, no doubt. He blarbs more and delivers less. He makes big hundreds in low dead pitches of SL and cannot go beyond winning against minnows. And look at what the Bug Bear says

"He said the players should focus on things within their control rather than complaining about the pitches, weather or food when Sri Lanka travels to India for three Test matches, five ODIs and two Twenty20 games next month."

What the fuck. Weather or food ? Pitches ? In India ? Are you crazy or did you smoke marijuana ? Or did he drug ? Spiked the drink ? Pitches in India are bad ? Fuck off. We dont have run-a-thon pitches in this country where 953 runs are scored or 624 runs are scored for a wkt or even 576 runs for a wkt.

We have fair weather in India, cold and hot. It just doesnt rain always in India like it does in Lanka. Food ? Food is good in India and way better than Sri Lanka.

Focus on cricket lads. Try to win a test match here. Goddamn you havent even won a ODI series in India in years. Forget about test match. A team of bug bears, chucks, blabba kings just dont have character and balls in their ........to win a Test series in India vs India.

Pathetic stuff.

Bhaiya pahle ek session jeeto, fir Test series ki baat karna.

Funny guys. Characterless guys.

Mumbai not fit for hosting World Cup final

Which is better venue to host a World Cup final ? 40000 capacity Wankhede in Mumbai or 1 lac seated Eden Garden in Kolkata ?

Just cos Sharad Pawar is from Mumbai, the world cup final is in Mumbai. Be real, Mumbai has rich cricket tradition, but its facilities in Cricket stadiums are ass.

Stop blaming anything Indian for injuries

If Australia is unable to find 11 men standing to take the field standing in 3rd ODI then call off the ODI and give the victory to India.

Dont crib and dont blame CT. CA is one of the founding partner and it was considered in the scheduling of the champions league.

Its a players' decision to play in a tournament or not. He knows his body best. He knows his injuries and the rehabilitation.

So do not blame the Champions League or IPL or any thing Indian.

Call it a day Jaya

He is 40. He has played 440 ODIs and scored 13300 runs. Latest news is that he has lost his opening slot for Upul Tharanga, whatta loser the captain of that team is.

Before the bug bear Sangakara further humiliates Sanath, he should gracefully retire than playing down the order. He's got all what he wanted.

Time for him to quit gracefully. And yes any day Sanath is trillion times better than character man of Lankan team, the fake IPL player Mahela Loserwardhene.

MS hits a ton

MS Dhoni's ton makes India a strong contender to level the series.

And his hundred at 5 will make his critics go silent.

Way to go MS.

2nd ODI : Australia favorites

It should be a cakewalk today for Australia to win against the pathetic flat tracked bully batsmen of India. Doesnt matter the core bowling duo of Australian team are injured or worn out, the likes of Tendulkar and Sehwag added by Yuvraj and Dhoni will be falling even to Ponting's bowling.

Lol.

Pathetic Indians. Cant win at home too.

Kaise kaise log nee kaise kaise team.

Vadodara ODI : Indian perspective

The Indian perspective on the Vadodara ODI is here :

India was below their best yet they ran close to the Aussies, that shows the character in the team. Lol. It shows that they are going with the motive to win every game they play and evolve a process to get stronger to the World Cup 11. And in the process they ensure that they dont turn to a bug bear.

Harbhajan, the bowler continues to baffle as does Ravinder Jadeja.

Jadeja should know he is not in the team to stick to the wicket at 7. His role is to play shots as soon as he can and get quick runs.

And Praveen Kumar is not a good option to go with in domestic batting conditions.

A thriller where in Harbhajan, the batsman lost his cool and India lost the game.

Runs are now expected out of Sehwag and Tendulkar at the top. And when Yuvraj comes back a lot of shabby efforts on the field would be cured.

A request to Ding Dong Bell : if you have fresh perspectives to add other than your normal "pathetic", "Lolol' and other India bashing words, please add them here. If you do not, then dont bother to waste your time.

All set for ODI 1.

All set for the first ODI in 4 and half hours.

Bat first and score big. Get Ponting and Watson early. The match is all ours then.

India vs Australia : Fact 1

India vs Australia have some intense rivalries over the 2000s. Most of them have been in the Tests and the ODIs have been surprisingly cakewalks for the Aussies till the 2007 series when India lost its second consecutive ODI series (England) and first under (only loss so far) MSD.

It may be harsh to digest but India go to the first ODI on Sunday with unbeaten against Aussies in 3 games now. 2 on the trot wins in CB series followed by the rained out game in the just concluded CT.

Last time it happened was in 1998 when India won 2 games back to back in the epic series when Tendulkar first dominated the Aussies.

1999, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2007 have been the years when Indians have lost to Australia heavily in the ODIs.

That however stands changed now. Last time India lost to Australia was when they scored 317 and India came close to 299.

Last 5 games completed in between the 2 sides India have won 3 and Australia 2.

Perhaps last series when Tendulkar and Ponting play against each other. Of course World Cup would be there when India would lift the trophy at Wankhede :P

Stats and form point to India. Rankings point to Australia.

Presence of 2 men just make it in favor of India : Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar.
