They somehow needed to dislodge Kallis and then things might have got folded but India acted as if that they are afraid to win

Sachin could have been used — bowling his seam-up stuff.

I don’t agree with you. And I can gurantee that had Sachin not played that day, we could not have crossed 125 mark!!

The temperature at Belfast was hovering from 7-12 degrees and it was extremely cold. The spinners who are full time bowlers like Powar and Chawla could barely manage gripping the ball. It’d have been almost impossible for Sachin to bowl anywhere near something called ‘accurate’.

Thats the only reason why Dravid would have resisted the temptation of bowling Sachin. I thought saffies played Chawla badly and were not quite comfortable. Sachin, had he bowled, would have been handful!

Two spinners are not needed in this match at Ireland.

It is a difficult situation to come in over 45 th over, and start hitting fours and sixes. First one has to get the feel for the bowler and pitch and then hit fours and sixes. In that sense, it is easier to open the innings a one-day match, so that you can get set and push up the score around the 20th over.

Rohit Sharma is a batsman or a bowler ?

India needs Michael Bevan or Andrew Symonds for slog.

Here’s why… It’s a team game, Sachin.

Of late, India seem to be struggling quite a lot in the slog overs. I think the Indian camp must sit down and talk through what they need to do to correct this.

An extra twenty runs in the slog overs and an additional seamer would have made all the difference….

As I didn’t watch the game, could someone enlighten me as to why Sachin wasn’t given a bowl?

Just the kind of positive mood we need to set in this website when the vultures are waiting out there to dismiss the Indian team quickly. I think we lost the plot in the final 10 overs. We also got lucky with the Boucher LBW. And we were definitely a seamer short on yesterday’s wicket.

We are talking –
Ganguly, Uthappa, Tendulkar, Dravid, Yuvraj, Karthik, Dhoni, Chawla, Agarkar, Sreesanth and Zaheer

Atleast it looks better on paper!
