    FIRST OF ALL MUST TELL U INDIANS THAT,STATEMENT 'HOW GHAMBHIR CAME TO AFRIDI'S RESCUE' IS NOTHING BUT A AS USUAL RUBBISH.OUR HONEST MEDIA HAS CONFERMED THAT AFRIDI DIDNT TALKED TO HIM ALL THE WORLD CUP. OUR HERO WAS GIVING A INTERVIEW TO EXPRESS 24/7 N CUNFERMED THAT HE NEVER ASKED ANYTHING FROM HIM OR FROM ANYONE ELSE.HE JUST DID WHAT WAS REQUIRED. IN A ANSWER TO A QUESTION HE SAID I DIDNT MEET WITH INDIAN PLAYERS THIS TIME DUE TO SOME OF HIS BUSY TRAINING SESSIONS HE HAD RIGHT THROUGH THE CUP

    India has very little chance in absence of Zeheer Khan, who played vital role in most wins in recent past, therefore in first PP indian bowlers may be struggling, Ishant Sharma may do something therefore he must be given new ball, but he has to vary length on WI pitches, India must look for replacement of Kumble the legend spinner as his absence denting indian bowling strength, ICC T20 show that Batting Power House can't win matches on its own and you need atleast three good bowlers.

    A welcome development

    We have seen the referral system tried out at Wimbledon and it worked really well. There is no reason to believe that it will not work in cricket too.

    Strauss must re-exert his authority

    The tourists missed Strauss's conviction in marshalling the side in the field and his batting is always valuable because he is such a fluid player when he is in form.
