3-45 clean bowling Sehwag, Mukund and the Jack :)

Mukund and Jadeja were fluent while Badri and Vijay grafted. A below
par score for a reasonably sound batting side. Jaffer and co will bat
them into the ground.

yep.. i think he can coax Venkatesh Prasad also to bowl instead of
coaching.. I mean, like people go together, right?
or may be Aggy can coach Ishant and help him with valuable points on
how to be in circulation in Indian domestic circuit as well as RSC!!!

I pity you Sam, whoever you are. Most probably you are another South
Indian( a tamilian) who blindly hates everything coming out of above
the Vindhyas especially Mumbai films and cricketers without looking at
the real picture.

Don't even dare compare Prasad and Agarkar in ODIs. Prasad is now
reaching his 40s and he had long declined and became passe in 2000
itself. Agarkar is 31 and fit and there was a 2-yr unexpected exile
from him (mostly due to stupid youth policies of Dhoni and BCCI after
winning 2007 20-20 world cup by fluke) though Agarkar did very well in
whole of 2006 and till mid 2007.

You, Sam, need a reality check as all Indians have seen what the
bowling attack has been reduced to in last few months with the likes
of Ishant, Praveen and RP Singh etc and it took a 30 yr old Nehra
making a comeback to restore some sanity to this attack.

Agrya does not come from the north of vindhyas. He is very much a
southie (if south of vindya is the definition of southies). Its
funny how diverse this land is and yet it is a country...like a mini-
Europe in size and probably a Europe in language and cultural
differences.
Ah now I get it...the nationalistic tendency today is coz I was
watching the Gandhi movie.- Hide quoted text -

Key thing is that the South Indians (people from the states of
Karnataka, AP, Kerala and Tamil Nadu) consider anyone from other than
these 4 states as from North India.

Please let this be so

Im sure you know he has the best record against Aus.
I am quite certain he doesn't

His batting is a formidable 14.00v Australia and his bowling 28.41.

I would have said that he has a far better record against the powerhouse
of Zimbabwe.

In addition to this I can point out a multitude of players who have
better records against Australia.

CDK

Colin baby, among all Indian bowlers of current generation, he has
best ODI bowling record against Aus.

He even won a test match single
handedly which none of the other bowlers of the current generation
have done against Aus.

Amazed at the stupidity of anyone who thinks a player in a team game can
win a game single handedly
Winning single handedly is used more in a figurative sense than literal.
Not that the other 10 people scored 0 (or didn't show up) or the other
bowlers gave a sixer off every ball.

I believe people mention that when one player contributes significantly
more than that of the others combined, it is as if you can replace the
rest of the team with any average player and still win because of the
main player. Also many times only the batting or bowling is considered
ignoring the other aspect.

Say a team is chasing 220 in a ODI, and one guy scored 150 and the other
5/6 bats all scored in single digit, then the first one is referred as
single handedly winning the match. Of course if one of the bowlers of
the same team, took a 5 wicket haul, the batsman might not be referred
this way.

I don't mind calling this way as long as the team effort is not ignored.

I believe this reflects the general human psychology to seek for a super
hero.


Thanks TakeitEasy for making it clear to Colin and thereby spreucing
up his IQ.

[Agarkar didn't win that Test singlehandedly]

Yes, it would have been impossible to win that Test had Dravid and
Laxman not forged that partnership. But if Agarkar had not taken the 6-
fer the match would have probably tapered into a draw. So, it does
make sense to credit that Test win to Agarkar single-handedly in the
sense that if not for his efforts the test would have been a draw.
