Sriram: Hello! What will be the result of the 1st Test?
Nishant Arora: Pheeww, tough one to predict! Isn’t it? That’s the beauty of India Australia Test cricket. All the three results are possible. I would hate to predict this one mate. It reminds me of 2004 India-Australia Test match where India needed 210 odd runs to win on last day. And what a big disappointment it was. It rained, rained and rained. I hope it doesn’t happen this time. But I think from here on draw is out of equation.
Subramanian C: Why do you think India is struggling against the quality Aussie fast bowlers? Don’t you think India are still finding difficult to play against good cricketing nations like Sri Lanka, Australia?
Nishant Arora: Yes, if you look at last four Test matches India have played they haven’t lived up to the expectations of theirs and others. And more than us they know it. Time to pull up their socks and make telling contributions to the total. The outcome of this series will depend on how these ‘Fab Four’ go from here.
Azam: Hello Nishant! What do you think of India’s chances of drawing this Test match?
Nishant Arora: I think India will either win this or loose it. Draw is not a possibility unless it rains.
Rajan: Tendulkar was injured even some time back and could not have any match practice for a long time. Do you think anyone can play at international level without any match practice? Why didn’t the selectors ask Tendulkar to play few matches to prove his fitness before including him in Test series? Even Ganguly’s fielding is awful, then why aren’t youngster given a chance. Is there any point in supporting all these senior players? Look at Kumble for that matter.
Nishant Arora: Rajan, if I may ask you who are the youngsters who give you so much confidence. Yes, all of them will go and their time is not far. But you don’t make changes for the sake of it. None of youngsters have pushed them hard enough. Do you think Ganguly could have made a comeback if any of the youngsters had grabbed their chances. If someone who has served cricket for two decades and is one of the greatest players India has produced, has to be trusted when he says that he is fit. Ganguly is leaving and youngsters will get their chances. Kumble is not going to last long. And lets give time to Sachin to decide his own fate. He won’t hurt Indian cricket.
