Dhoni would not have spoken without any respect to his seniors. Do you agree with me?

Asked by rajeshyalla in Cricket & Other Sports at 6:18 PM on March 22, 2008

Raghu's Answer

Dhoni has not said that seniors should be sacked from the team. He has expressed his feelings he has towards the youngsters. That is all. Dhoni is a highly cultured person and he will not speak against them. He knows very well very soon seniors are going to retire, any way. He will not coment on them, before they leave the game. He is highly matured and he is going to lead India in tests also, in future.

Asked by Chinmay in Cricket & Other Sports at 7:59 PM on March 21, 2008

Raghu's Answer

Saachin has saved India from critical conditions many times. Of course, sometimes not. But, he has scored runs when India needed. Even in the recently concluded CB series, he was the main player to score runs. In the first final, he scored century and in the second final, he narrowly missed. He, in fact, was the person, who worked hard for India's win.

what is 1932-33 ashes series popularly known as?

Asked by raman in Cricket & Other Sports at 12:15 AM on March 22, 2008

Raghu's Answer

The Ashes series during 1932-33 was known as bodyline series. Bowling bouncers on the legside to the batsman, after setting about five to six fielders in the legside is bodyline bowling. The batsman will defend the ball, to protect his face from the ball. The ball will take the edge and fly in the air and the fielders will take those catches. Otherwise the batsmen would be hit on the face. England followed this method to attack Australia and the series was known as bodyline seires.
