Comments have now been closed for this article India win over Australia is just a fluke ... coz player india carrying with them all the time like praveen kumar can't even show up at stage for presentation so how this player can be from winning team & in the absence of great players like Dravid & Ganguly the win is definetly a Fluke & if its not then only because of World's no 1 player Sachin Tendulkar he is the only man standing from last 16 year in india's success remember 10 years ago Coco cola cup india beat Australia in Sharjah due to sachin's inning of 142 & 134 so see 10 years same result (Ind beat Aus) same man just deduct sachin inning of 117 & 91 & see india even can't close to win & with such a worst captain like Dhoni (Foni) they don't deserve a win ....... Posted by Notaindian on March 05 2008, 09:50 AM GMT I liked the way P.Kumar behaved after getting Ponting out in the first one dayer. He got him and that was that. No high fives or antics on the field.This reminded me of cricket in the 60's. I hope the other bowlers will behave in a similar manner after getting some one out without pumping their fists in the air. The bowlers must realise that the credit should go to them when they get their man out bowled or LBW. Some get caught due to some fantastic effort by a fielder and the bowler gets the credit.

But its sad that ur opinions have become more biased and now a days ur un necessarily criticizing Indian team. You have mouthful of words to criticize them on their failure but when they perform good u tend to concentrate on the other less important news in ur column.I hope u keep aside ur biased opinions aside when u do ur show. Posted by mgims02 on March 03 2008, 21:40 PM GMT CB series is great ,giving wonderful moments 2 da viewers.i hope indian team will do better in the 2nd final.v.sehwag must recharge himself & its time 2 prove himself .although da start of yuvi is fine,but why he is not able 2 make it as a bigger ones.......... Posted by lokasraya on March 03 2008, 17:12 PM GMT I have been listening to this show but to be frank Tony is often biased with his comments and you can see him giving some positive views on Australians even after their bad behaviors & bad performance.May be because he is settled in Australia. With the amount of pressure surrounded with Sachin prior to this match & the way Sachin paced his innings was simply great.Tony has summarized it in a negative way possible.Had it been Adam Gilchrist or Ricky Ponting scoring a century he would have praised a lot on that and would have picked him as the player of the week.Sadly i must say his voice isn't pleasing at all, he speaks as if some one is forced to give his comments which is not the Tony Grieg we know.I am sorry Tony i am really sick of your comments.
