The Liverpool second-string goalkeeper. It's a poor name, really. 'Bollywood' would be a better fit but KP has taken that. Maverick could be appropriate.
The guy's a clown. Comes in when India need to keep wickets and hits two sixes in a row for absolutely no reason. When it's time to defend he attacks. When it's time to attack, he defends. If he was a F1 racing driver, he'd be a woman.
He hits 2 sixes and you critisise him?
Rather that than blocking and building pressure
I'm not really criticising him but just saying he doesn't think the way people normally would. I have a go at people like Sehwag because he just doesn't think full-stop. Dhoni at least does think...but he just thinks weird. He places a massive importance on psychology - when the team is doing well, he tries to hang around and slow things down. When India are getting shafted, he tries to attack - more often than not, he gets out. He only has a 37 average. He's not a good batsman. But trying to be the hero is something I can relate to tbh so I don't mind Dhoni too much.
India's batting line-up is truly crap.
The stats on Shitwag, Gambhir, Tendulkar and Raina are damning.
Yup. Bowling's shite too.
Andy Murray is my only sporting hope atm. FML.
I'm watching this guy Yadav compared to the NZ seamers and thinking wtf? Man can't even bowl two balls in the same place. I'm guessing he's getting no helpful guidance. Or he's retarded. Either way, absolutely haemorrhages runs. Zaheer Khan's well on the wane as well.
Yadav looked promising but has actually regressed. Nothing clever or accurate about his bowling. He just sprays it around like a mong. Not convinced by Ojha - anyone can take wickets against NZ. Ashwin looks a legit all-rounder tbf to him; got some runs in Australia too IIRC.
Just don't understand how a nation of a billion can't find one guy who can hit top of off at 90mph. It can't be that hard. Twenty20 has fucked up the grassroots.
He's reminding me of Mohammad fucking Sami. That's not good. India will always produce decent spinners who are too good for the weaker teams at home. Acid test for them is obviously holding things together overseas.
I'm not so sure it's Twenty20 as such. There's a history of these bowlers starting decently but fading away. RP Singh, Sharma, Munaf Patel, Pathan, Sreesanth and so on. They were all capable at least, turned into clowns. There have to be coaching issues somewhere. But yeah, these guys just don't seem to get/aren't able to execute Test match bowling, which is exactly what the New Zealand seamers were doing today to work batsmen out.
That also being evident in the tours of England and Australia, but obviously their rewards were accentuated by a geriatric Indian batting line-up.

Tendulkar is the best batsmen ever tbh
Sehwag is awesome
Gambhir is a Must Keep
Ojha got 5 wickets in the innings as well
India going well
England win the toss and will bowl first.
