Why do these players play the IPL?

A nice gesture. That’s the way to do it. Come up with valid points to prove another fake accusation about Sachin wrong.

Nothing I disagree wid you here. The stats clearly show Sachin and Dravid has played more matches outside their home than Ponting and Waugh which proves that both are not home track bullies. In fact if you look at Sachin and Dravid’s averages in countries like Australia it proves the point further more.

But for the ones who has been calling Sachin in that way had their pipe bombs blew on their faces as you proving their heroes had more home plays than those two! And they have unable to come up with a valid point against your point. Even the home and away match percentage proves it!

Fact are facts, stats are stats. And I completely agree with TJ here too.? Joeblow:- What are you telling me? You said that Sachin had similar conditions when he played in India’s neighbor countries like SL, Pak and Bangladesh unlike the Aussie batsmen who even didn’t have home like conditions even in their neighbor country NZealand!

Well you have been bowling pretty well at me at YAC grounds but this time it’s a juicy full-toss so allow to make maximum out of it! I mean come on? Do India, SL, Ban and Pak have similar conditions?

Really? I mean really? R you serious bro?

Though from the same region, these countries have many different conditions! If conditions in SL and India are similar then why SL has a real struggle whenever playing in India? SL has never won a test match there and had a very few ODI successes.

India also struggled in SL especially in ODI tournament finals. SL and India has lot of differences in conditions, pitches and climax. In SL if you bat first and score 230/240 in an ODI you are guaranteed a win most of the times as most SL pitches will start to turn lot more in the 2nd half. India has struggled to chase even 220 here on number of occasions.

There is no dew at night in SL. But in India it’s complete opposite. Bat first, score 300+ still very hard to defend it in India.

The dew factor plays a big roll and will make the bowlers pretty ordinary. Look at 2011 WC final. If this match was in SL, 274 would have been more than enough to win.

But in India it was at least well 50 runs short! Win the toss then bat first in SL but bowl first in India! Complete opposite!

Even if you take countries like Bangladesh their conditions are different too in fact that was why SL has lost 3 outta last 5 matches they played there. Countries like Aus, NZ, WI, SA and England has similar conditions mostly actually. Doesn’t matter how far they located.

Those pitches are fast and bouncy and everybody knows that man. And that’s why may Asian teams EQUALLY have failed there at times. Is there any Asian team who has done better in Australia and done poor in England (overall)?

Apart from weak teams like NZ and WI all the other non Asian teams equally have made the Asian teams struggle on their territories. For an instance take Sri lanka. We have been equally struggling to win matches in England, Australia and South Africa bcz the conditions such as bouncy pitches and climax(the coldness specially) have got the better of our players.

Even we have struggled in NZ at times. But look at SL’s Asian record. Like I said we struggled a lot in India with no test wins (not even a close one) yet, but we have got the better of Pakistan 75% times we tour there!

We haven’t lost a test series there for 20 years now. We won 2 or 3 and drew the rest in that period of 20 years. But not even a single test win in India yet let alone a series win!

So Pakistan and India are two completely different territories for us. And one more point. Look at Ponting’s record.

He struggled in India a lot and averaged around 20’s. But this guy dominated in SL and has an impressive avg here. Look at Shane Warne.

He had lot of difficulties in India with poor avg around 50+ but he bowled exceptionally well in SL and Pakistan with a fine bowling average. Murali averaged 45.45 in India! But he had excellent averages of 19.56 and 24.96 at SL and Pakistan!

What about that? So seriously what’s conditions and countries are similar in sub continent? Lol?

I hope you guys would give credit where it’s due at least from here now.

Indian players are way better than Aussies in terms of away games. How many times Ponting came here and scored double centuries like Sachin, Laxman and Dravid who scored heck a lot despite poor performance recently? Credit goes to Aussie bowlers for recent disaster.

Why a fast track bully is struggling to score runs at flat track? He should be scoring 3x, shouldn't he?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
