Has he been out of the team for a while or is it that I'm not keeping up with Indian cricket? I think he is a very good bowler who has a lot of talent. I think it was during a series with the windies that he really impressed me. Then again you know the windies brings out the best in anyone....but I truly think that he is a good bowler...(nevermind the opposition). He hasn’t been out of the team. He is very much with the team and playing and taking all those wickets. He does take wickets but doesn’t deserve those. He is a pretty ordinary bowler for my likings. Sprays the ball a lot and in t20 you don’t need one bowler like him. Although, Pakistan would never mind him playing. He has always been the target of Paki batters.

India has only played one 20/20 (don't know about Pakistan). They played it in SA and won it too. So there is confidence there but one game is not enough especially when the top 3 batsmen aren't there. The team is also depending upon the batting of Sehwag and Pathan and Harbhajan's performce. If Sehwag gets out early a lot will fall on the shoulders of Yuvraj and Dhoni. Karthik too. All three of them are good but on of the trio should have been included. Dravid would have been good seeing that he's been speeding up ever since the world cup.

That was never Dravids role within the batting lineup. His role was (and still is) to steady the ship after a wicket and then build partnerships. The others score(d) quickly around him so he never needed to.

Its no use trying to talk sense into someone who still thinks Dravid cant score quickly.

Dravid is pure class fellas! Solid, can score fast, what else do you want from the man? One of the best batsman I've seen. The 4th to be precise!

well fishy, you should be proud your country is taking part although they will be sorry for taking part when the first round ends.

Yep Robbie, I was talking about the players and not the fans! But Fishy summed it up.

I read an article the other day about Asif talking about his bowling and I gathered from that that he didn't like Akhtar. I am proven right! Not good news for PAK.

I seriously don'y know who Akthar thinks he is, some super-icon who can do anything and get away with it. It's about time he lives up to the statement "you learn from your mistakes" he just keeps repeating them

the bloke is a nightmare and the game is better off without him.

Although I am sure zuhair will be along any minute to insist that Shoaib in no way has any sort of attitude problem.

probably 'roid rage

Asif:  Wheres my nandrolone?
