the real star

[Vivek]

Kaif , has not played any innings worth remembering after natwest. and natwest happened 4 years ago.

comparing kaif and sehwag is like comparing apples and oranges , ganguly and tendulkar. pretty bizarre. Sehwag is immensely talented than kaif. His mere presence taking strike could have a psychological effect on bowler.

if kaif is a great fielder he could be in as a 12th man. After raina who plays quicker than kaif and younger, a great fielder, so if i were to pick a team i wouldnt have kaif and would have raina. there are lot of cricketers waiting to show their talent and kaif got more than enough opportunities to match his colleagues.

I am pretty sure he is not in the league of his colleagues.

Azharudding was a match fixing snitch. taking example that his performance is pretty weird. he would have had it fixed ......

if you let kaif continue it is like grooming a rip van winkle like agarkar.

Exactly.. comparing sehwag and kaif is like comparing apples and oranges.. one is a swashbuckling opener who likes to go over the top.. Problem with sehwag is that he gets to 30s and 40s and gets out carelessly.. He doesnt have a lean patch of consecutive single digit scores... If kaif was coming everytime in the 40th-45th over and getting out cheaply, its understandable..But coming in at no.4 or no.5 he gets atleast 25-30 overs everytime..He has ample time to get set and accelerate towards the end.. look at players like Yuvraj, youhana, styris, dilshan etc.... You dont need a big hundred everytime.. A timely 50-60 runs with a partnership of 100-150 is enough so not to expose the tail and will change the course of the match.. Looking at kaif, I feel saurav deserves a chance too...

Once considered the future of Indian middle-order batting, at least in the one-dayers, the fortunes of Yuvraj and Mohammad Kaif couldn't have been more contrasting over the last few months. Yuvraj has been in the form of his life, averaging 93 in his last 13 ODIs; Kaif, on the other hand, has an aggregate of 93 from his last 11 innings.

"Both Kaif and Sehwag are very experienced. Both have the skills to succeed and would be given as many chances. But obviously it can't be an endless one," he said after India's comprehensive 49-run victory over England in the third ODI.

Chappell felt that Kaif's problem had more to do with the mind.

"I feel it's more of a mental thing. I have gone through this having scored seven successive ducks. I feel it's a mental problem. The focus is not as much there because of the anxiety to succeed. He also needs a little bit of luck," Chappell said.

Kaif has made runs galore in domestic cricket of late but his stint in India colours has seen him score 4 and two ducks in the three innings against England.

"He got a 100 against England three matches ago (in the Jaipur warm-up game prior to the limited over series). His fielding is excellent and he will be given as many opportunities as possible," the former Australian skipper said.

Chappell echoed similar views about Gautam Gambhir while admitting that the player needed to make his start count by making big scores.

"You can't change players regularly. He's done a reasonably good job. Hopefully we have got what we need to have," he said while adding that the Delhi opener was dropped for Monday's game in order to fit in an extra bowler.

the REAL STAR is none other than SIDHU few samples:




A collection of famous quotes by Navjot Singh Sidhu
(made during his commentary of the cricket matches):





1. That ball went so high it could have got an
airhostess down with it.



2. There is light at the end of the tunnel for India,
but it's that of an incoming train which will run them
over.



3. Experience is like a comb that life gives you when
& gt; you are bald.



5. Sri Lankan score is running like an Indian
taximeter.



7. Wickets are like wives - you never know which way
they will turn!



8. He is like Indian three-wheeler, which will suck a
lot of petrol but cannot go beyond 30!



9. The Indians are going to beat the Kiwis! Let me
tell you, my friend, that the Kiwi is the only bird in
the whole world, which does not have wings!



10. As uncomfortable as a bum on a porcupine.



11. The ball whizzes past like a bumblebee and the
Indians are in the sea.



12. The Indians are finding the gaps like a pin in a
haystack.



13. The pitch is as dead as a dodo.



14. Deep Dasgupta is as confused as a child is in a
topless bar!



15. The way Indian wickets are falling reminds of the
cycle stand at Rajendra Talkies in Patiala..! One
falls and everything else falls!



16. Indian team without Sachin is like giving a Kiss
without a Squeeze.



17. You cannot make Omelets without breaking the eggs.




18. Deep Dasgupta is not a Wicket Keeper, he is a
goalkeeper. He must be given a free transfer to
Manchester United.



19. He will fight a rattlesnake and give it the first
two bites too.



20. One, who doesn't throw the dice, can never expect
to score a six.



22. Anybody can pilot a ship when the sea is calm.



23. Nobody travels on the road to success without a
puncture or two.



24. You got to choose between tightening your belt or
losing your pants.



25. The cat with gloves catches no mice.



26. Age has been perfect fire extinguisher for flaming
youth.



27. You may have a heart of gold, but so does! A
hard-boiled egg.



28. He is like a one-legged man in a bum kicking
competition.



29. The third umpires should be changed as often as
nappies and for the same reason.



30. The world is all about mind and matter, I don't
mind and U don't matter...



31. In London they drive on the left, in India we
drive on what is left!

Howzzzzaaattttttt!!!!!

You left chicken on a china egg which Harsha bogle often made fun of him. Siddhu is like a student mugging up idioms and phrases before going to an essay competition.

Siddhu was an embarassment in commentry. But nevertheless I regard him one of the greatest batsmen India has produced.

He humiliated warne in chennai test before sachin added insult to injury.

Once theodore rooseveldt , former President of united states said, Talk Polite but carry a stick. I am not sure chappelle talks polite here but he damn sure gota stick. If you doubt ask ganguly .
