Dear AR, try talking to someone else other than Sanjay Manjrekar for the pre-match analysis. He was always wrong in analysing things, because he is a failure crickete. But one thing he can be 100% correct is, post match discussion.


Dummy4 on October 6, 2010, 4:10 GMT

I hate him, not only because he insulted Sachin Tendulkar during World series against Australia, but too because he thinks he is the best commentator and predictor around which is not true. I would like to suggest cricinfo to stop taking views of him. I don't know why he is in your panel, go for either Harsha, Ravi or Sunny best known for their positive comments rather than this stupid commentator's views.


Raju on October 6, 2010, 2:46 GMT

Akhila Rangannah gets 10/10 for her great sounding voice, keen observations and ability to extract the best out of the people she "interviews" whether it is Sanjay Manjrekar or Geoffrey Boycott. Can we have her on Video / TV , would make for great viewing


Ravi on October 5, 2010, 17:39 GMT

Manjrekar is what we call in the US an "armchair quaterback". He stupidly predicted a draw after day-3, thinking it was still him, Gavaskar and Shastri in the Indian team. While Sunny and Shaz are still some of my favorite people, this Indian team is a winner, and more ruthless than the ones before.


Gopal on October 5, 2010, 15:13 GMT

Great Match, Kudos to the Aussie team for taking it this far. I watched the entire days play today ball by ball and left for office only after it was over. Time well spent :-)


Arpit on October 5, 2010, 14:52 GMT

Our unsung hero. VVS has done it again. Back in the days, in 1999, in Australia, India lost the test series 3-0. Before VVS went out to bat in the second innings, he told his mates in the dressing room that it might be the last time he is going out to bat for India. And the rest, they say, is history!!! Let us not only acknowledge this knock but acknowledge the man who i feel whose contribution to India in tests has been instrumental in taking us to the No.1 spot.


shivaram on October 5, 2010, 14:43 GMT

Dear Sanjay, Harsha:

How many more all-time greatest clutch innings should VVS have to play for him to be included in the all-time great Indian test XI ?? Guys, he is performing miracles with a bad back now. Please, please give him his due!

This batting combination is probably the best in the history of indian test cricket at this point. Let's enjoy it while it lasts. In two years, when they retire, Test cricket in India is going to be dead.


Madhusudhan on October 5, 2010, 13:05 GMT

Team India and BCCI is madly obsessed with Stupid, Rubbish, Non-Sense, Obsolete, Betting & Commercial event IPL, which is selling 6s and 4s on Lifeless Pitches. IPL-Mad Team India is losing Skill, Inspiration, Motivation, Hunger, Determination, Committment and Fitness to play International or Test Cricket on lively Pitches. Curators, Commentators and BCCI Officials are working for IPL growth rather than Cricket growth. Until IPL is not thrashed, Team India is not going to perform well in International Tournaments. Test, ODI & T20 Cricket is great to watch at International level on lively pitches, unlike IPL Teams which looks like club cricket and played on lifeless pitches.


Anoop on October 5, 2010, 12:16 GMT

You guys are worried that Test Cricket would die? For the love of God, I could have died today!-and I am just 26. May be I will take up something like Yoga or Meditation, just as a preperation for the second Test!
