DON hit the nail on the exact point there. Indians will bat on flat
batting friendly pitches with extremely heavy bats as if chopping logs.
look at Dhoni what is he doing? closing his eyes and waving the bat
towards the incoming ball. of course he has strength and he knows that
the ball will not do anything off the wicket. same with Sehwag! Dravid
is a very admirable batsman who can bat on any wicket. he is an
exception. but look at Kaif, and who is that 19 yr old left handed
batsman? cant even remember his name. Indians think he's a super star.
may be in flat pitches but not in tough pitches. India came up the
rankings cos they played almost all their matches in flat pitches at
home. to me, the only star in India is Dravid and may be Sachin for
some extent but certainly no one else. others are just blind wood
choppers.

Wouldn't blind wood choppers be minus their hands?

In the 4 hours since you originally posted this message, you could have
found out what that 19 year old's name is...

Dhoni's average has recently fallen below 50 in ODI's.
I guess he's getting a taste of reality. I have always felt
Dhoni to be a bit of a weak-attack bully. He didn't do too well
against Shane Bond in the tri-series last year in Zimbabwe.
And I doubt whether he will do well against the pace of Ntini,
Akhtar and Lee.

Regarding Raina, I don't think he's a superstar as yet.
He maybe prodigiously talented, but he still has to
prove himself in Test match cricket. Though from what
I have seen of Raina, I found him to be more talented
than Mohammed Kaif.

Compared to Kaif most would seem talented.

This dude is a PERFECT TROLL.

He is neither genuinely interested in discussing cricket nor improving his
cricket knowledge. He doesnt even appear to be a real cricket fan from his
prior comments posting once in a blue moon and going away without even
participating in discussions even in the threads he started himself.

http://groups.google.co.in/group/rec.sport.cricket/browse_frm/thread/...

These threads he started shows this TROLL is not knowledgeable about cricket
and then he comes back and ATTACKS Indian batsmen in this current thread he
started as if he is an EXPERT.

LoL......

dont worry bud, try to find 10 other players like Dravid and then India
will be a better team in all pitches.

99% of human beings on this planet get pissed and are scared to discuss the
truth and you are no exception.

India beat the ***out of Srilanka 2-0 in tests and 6-1 in ODs.

You should worry about Srilanka first and let Indians worry about Indian
team.

Hmm, methinks if they had 11 Dravids their bowling would suck (even more)
big time. :-)
