[123of]

read rd interview in the cricinfo. he explains why they did what they did in the test series in the mater of team selection and why he let ramdin bat as long as he did. [ and most of what he  said was more or less what i had read in what was happening . how i knew , well to understand dravid captaincy there are two things to study , his playing days since young age and his batting . the real meaning ,[ not the media hype and the boredome he has provided us indian fans for so many years as a boring batsman] . then you will start understanding .]

enjoy.

some of the comment i made while the 3 draw was happening maybe now will make sense 


kaif was notout [ well that is life, but i hope he bats again in the next match]

no comment on the umpire. [ wait till aus eat him up. just think warne asking him what was that]

laxman days are over even if he makes a 200. its about time only. and wether we want to make a winning team or lump guys around , if we want to lump then sg, ramesh [opener], st, vvs,srinath should be in the team.

enjoy

you think lara is that devious. [ most possibly, he is smart.]

main thing is dravid getting to play long inning .

i think, he should get out after 40 or 50 or sooner.

we need him focused for the last match.

i hope the team can draw the match for him.

so that he can bat long in the last match if we get in with a chance to win or if needed to draw.

in most of the series by the last match he is over worked and no mater how fit you are or hungry or determine. you need a break.

unless the this pitch becomesa devil for lara. then ofcourse he needs to bat in this pitch for long too. so no break for him well we will know what it will be in the end of the series.

nothing much to say to you all good fellows but. Banglore, Karachi, Mumbai and many more really. i thoroughly enjoyed what both captain did tactically, mocking each other.

but guys i and both the captain live on earth, thank you very much. and 392 in 88 over on last day of the test when a team will get it against Kenya in a test match then talk, till then dream talk about pipe dreams about veeru and sg. enjoy.[ i know Kenya doesn’t play test , sg and Dalmiya didn’t manage that , maybe then sg still would have been playing and veeru would have been captain who declared on above  500 against a struggling Srilanka team with bhaji and Kumble to ball all day long on a big turner good lord . at least see reality guys.] 

why Dravid tactically did what he did because he is the one who is with those guys in the dressing room and he is quite aware where his players are at present in their development. thank you.

[ this one i will  explain next time.

reality check.

vs will play in 2011 if it was a sg sitiuation in 2011 or rd and gc and gk and if and jg and finally veeru can change his fitness and mind. other wise well.

actually he has a very good chance . he was born in india and as sg had shown veeru what can be done and that in india there is more chance of sg good fortune coming to veeru . so good luck veeru fans]

dravid was out. i am glad he got the break i wanted him to have [ it is better for him to get out early in the first inning then in the second]

This guy is funny!  

Ofcourse I have no clue what he is talking about but thats beside the point!

[fineleg]

 

123of - what are u trying to convey? That RD is useless? the win is useless? RD is great? win was great?
Kaif is useless? or Dalmiya is a thug?

Which one of these?

Professor. I remember him. I have a feeling this 12 ka 4 is the same guy in a new avatar

[123of]

Yuvraj- played in the whole series odi and test . from 1 odi suffered cramps , kept on getting hit all over his body to the last test. and by the end test he was staying down stil to take catch at short leg. in short he gained much hard earned exp. in how hard you have to work. now its up to him to work hard and progress. rd will give him chance thats why he palyed all the tests.

Kaif, - after long time played in the whole series odi and test . from 1 odi started batting, rd wanted him to be away from the crushing media and fans enviorement  [ i heard rd int] , showed progress, learnt what is umpiring in test as yuvi did in sl series. and the difference  conditions . showed hunger, will now have to work hard as yuvi [ and start practicing standing at sillipoint or shortleg for when laxman will be going ]

, Laxman, fans would hate this but one day rd will drop laxman because he is building the team for the future, if it was for the past laxman will never go away as they played from young days together.  he has seen him at the slips he has lost it . he will be remembered but now its time , he was lucky he got the chance to be part of this series. may be some matches but not all.

  Jaffer, his shots are devine but defense is more preety then safe. he will get his due chances and will have to improve his slip fielding a lot ,

Sehwag  is entertainment for all fans when the ptich is flat and fielding is easy. this match was to rest and jump in happyness.  he didnt report he is injured or sick in a series after long time. achivement.

should work on bowling more.

CP and Fineleg,
Here is a guy whose entertainment links include google searching for Pandiyan!!!
http://www.geocities.com/aerokamesh/timepass.html
Anyway, do the google search "perumselva pandiyan", it is a hoot. He was truly a legend

WOW! Someone has bookmarked a Google search link  "perumselva pandiyan"
Is this guy famous or what? I say INVITE him to this DG with a special felicitation.

[fineleg]

Seems like this guy is a legend (ala MKartik). There are guys who fake like this perum...guy and try to be impostors!!! 

Actually hats off to Prem! Seems like this PP (perum guy) is a hater of PP (prem panicker). Prem has been warding off haters since time immemorial

There was a long discussion on RSC about this guy and the consensus was (more or less) that a "normal" person was posing as this racist (or rather caste-ist) chap. In any case, I am not sure he was a Panicker hater. My recollection was that he wrote in RSC before rediff started.
There was a person called Ganesh Sanap who did a fabulous Pandiyan impression. I think the same guy maintained a RSC faq. Maybe he is on this DG as well

"Kumaran who is having best speed, best swing and break and double under duck ball is not getting chance. He is suffering. Speed gun maami is playing. "

Does anyone dare venture a guess , who "Speed gun maami" is ? 

[sgusa]

SS?

Well in any case our DG must be getting famous if we are getting posts from writers of such skill.

[fineleg]

Perum seems to have some  skills...such as this statement...

""For lion killing other lion is giving beauty. For lion killing pig is not beauty"..

enjoy.

i want to start understanding. and enjoy, too. but i seem to be stuck and need your help. what did RD do in his younger playing days? not batting? he is a boring batsmen who provided us boredom or is that the media hype? real meaning eludes me but am sure i can comprehend it and enjoy it, with some guidance.

some of the comment i made while the 3 draw was happening maybe now will make sense 

let me revisit them and see if i can understand and enjoy them better now.

kaif was notout [ well that is life, but i hope he bats again in the next match]

yes, it became very clear to me that he was not out when i saw him get out caught in the first innings and bowled in the second. i enjoyed my understanding.

no comment on the umpire. [ wait till aus eat him up. just think warne asking him what was that]

uhh..yes. i will enjoy.

laxman days are over even if he makes a 200. its about time only. and wether we want to make a winning team or lump guys around , if we want to lump then sg, ramesh [opener], st, vvs,srinath should be in the team.

enjoy

dump the lump. keep the chumps. i understand. i enjoy.

you think lara is that devious. [ most possibly, he is smart.]

at this point, i have decided to stop thinking and just enjoy.

main thing is dravid getting to play long inning .

i think, he should get out after 40 or 50 or sooner.

we need him focused for the last match.

i hope the team can draw the match for him.

nothing much to say to you all good fellows but. Banglore, Karachi, Mumbai and many more really. i thoroughly enjoyed what both captain did tactically, mocking each other.

now this was brilliant of you. you knew THEN that RD had to bat a long innings in the last test and Lara would have to do it too. and RD knew it too. so he got out and let Lara play a long innings so that in the final test, RD could stay on forever and Lara got out, due to weakness. this, i enjoy, very much enjoy. you are a genius.

but guys i and both the captain live on earth, thank you very much. and 392 in 88 over on last day of the test when a team will get it against Kenya in a test match then talk, till then dream talk about pipe dreams about veeru and sg. enjoy.[ i know Kenya doesn’t play test , sg and Dalmiya didn’t manage that , maybe then sg still would have been playing and veeru would have been captain who declared on above  500 against a struggling Srilanka team with bhaji and Kumble to ball all day long on a big turner good lord . at least see reality guys.] 

why Dravid tactically did what he did because he is the one who is with those guys in the dressing room and he is quite aware where his players are at present in their development. thank you.

[ this one i will  explain next time.]

can't wait. i will wait to enjoy.

reality check.

*pinches herself*. yes, i am alive and enjoying.

vs will play in 2011 if it was a sg sitiuation in 2011 or rd and gc and gk and if and jg and finally veeru can change his fitness and mind. other wise well.


actually he has a very good chance . he was born in india and as sg had shown veeru what can be done and that in india there is more chance of sg good fortune coming to veeru . so good luck veeru fans]

who is gk? who is jg? new players that will feature in the next 5 years that only RD and you know of? enlighten me pls. as for the rest, just tell me, is VS lump or not?

overall, thank you. i read, i understood(some of it), i enjoyed. 123of cricket isn't easy, after all.

It has to be Srinath or Prasad. They were the only pace bowlers playing in the Mohali test

By the way, note the scorecard in this test -- India 83/10 and 500+/3 d? That is insane!!

I was asking ponayan, who he is BHEL captain and having one of the mst
super knowledge of cricket about Dravid and Ganguly. He is saying they
are also coming from gutter water. Dravid is having too much cunning and
keeping name like Dravidian, becuase his father wants him to get Meidcal
or Engineering. Ganguly is not tribal fellow. Some Bengali type fleoows
are tribal fellows and he is not tribal fellow. He is putting Ganguly
name to cheat other tribal fellows but he is also gutter water fellow.

Now I am saying India is having only some small number of good talented
fellows. Azharuddheen, Dodda, Mongayya and David.

Also  am seeing match report carefully and everybody is saying Ganguly s
not having talent but having good amount of selfishness. I am seeing
recording of batting and aggreeing he is poor in attacking. Also Dravid.
When I am seeing recording, every ball he is in bad position. Worst type
of fellow. He is not having good talent but he is having good amont of
luck. Only becuase of the mtach video and Ponayans point I am getting
this opinion.


Many days thief will be caught one day and peacock will loose feathers.
That time we will get good proof that Azharuddheen is the most super
batsman and best captain we are having.


                     Yours  Faithfully
                     Perumselva Pandiyan

Prfsr,
Just what is this 'bandinakku'  thingy that Perum keeps referring to in some of his posts.
Seems he creates his own vocabulary...I say provide him honorary invite to this DG 

[keep-it-cool]

this entire thread is great fun .. i hope contributions keep coming ...

[sgusa]

The guy is basically doing literal translation from tamil. that alone accounts for half the hilarity

[keep-it-cool]

kaif was notout [ well that is life, but i hope he bats again in the next match]

yes, it became very clear to me that he was not out when i saw him get out caught in the first innings and bowled in the second. i enjoyed my understanding.

LOL .. at least here, I think you missed his point Mock ... I think he was referring to the lbw decision against MK in the first innings during the third test .. that was not out!

Remember the key ... these were his thoughts at the time the third test was being played ...

It is fun to analyze this guy's writing 

[kingcool1432]

This is funny 

There's this guy from New Zealand, who posts a topic and signs off with
" Simon Thompson , Christchurch "

Here's the reply :

Don't try to bring forward religion into game. That is Brahmin caste
mind. I can also say meenakshi Amman Koil. But I am saying it is game,
we will play like it is game only give shake hand and go for home. Don't
bring god, goddess, father, mother, teacher and religion and all into
cricket.
