Virender Sehwag out for 'king pair'

BIRMINGHAM: India's gamble in recalling Virender Sehwag for the third Test against England backfired spectacularly when the opener completed a 'king pair' -- two first-ball noughts in the same match -- at Edgbaston on Friday.

 

(There are those that say England is playing so well and there are a lot others who say the Indians are not playing at all and just going through the motions)

Dare India turn up at The Oval - they will of course but in reality, they are currently the laughing stock of World Cricket - I reckon Qatar's first 11 would give then a decent game at the moment - Qatar's first WOMENS 11 that is complete with Burqua's!!!!!

Absolute disgrace - will they care, I doubt it - just onto the next function to line their pockets!!

 England crushed India by an innings and 242 runs in the third test on Saturday to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series and replace their opponents at the top of the world rankings.

England are playing far better than India in the ongoing series, but what else separates the visitors from the hosts? It's the body language. As former England great Geoffrey Boycott said, "England are playing an Indian side that I do not recognise. There are players walking around just waiting for the close of play and expecting England to win the game."Drooping shoulders, exasperation and frustration were the common expressions of the Indian players while the England players were making merry on the field                             http://sports.ndtv.com/ind-eng-2011/photos/?album_id=11115&pagesize=10#photos

and I feel for you. But I am a cricket fan. If my team India play bad, I say so. No good pretending. England do genuinly look like the World No. 1 team, which they soon will be. They are just so good at the moment. India are so crap at the moment.But to just underline, I was not name calling. Technically India are at this moment No. 1 team in the World. But they are playing like amateurs, hence my reference to the 'pretenders'. Get real.

Really???

Typical crowd ... team plays well, make them sit on your head... next day they dont play they are going to the dogs.

Guess all of us then should perform the same in bed, every day???

Cant we just enjoy the game of the better team rather than calling names to the losing team.. yes am an Indian, lynch me or whatever I dont care... as am not saying this just for that sake... I would say the same for any country irrespective.
