India arrive 45 mins b4 toss

India are playing Northamptonshire and they have turned up 45 minutes before the toss and haven't even started warming up yet.

Is that disrespectful?

Did Dhoni have to do some interviews for the Indian TV market meaning that they were late?

No wonder India are getting pasted on this tour.

He turned up before the match started and they got underway on schedule, what exactly is the OP's point?

Read his post fully and you'll know why

I'm with Duncan on this, the toss takes place 30 min before scheduled play so they were there well on time.

duncan is still the same old twot he was on 606.

yes, india arrived well on time, 45 minutes before the start of play.

The team of supermen did not need to warm up, they were already cooking and good to go.

So good that Sehwag went pretty quickly.

The point is Duncan, my foolish friend, that the Indians seem to leave everything until the last minute (one warm up game before 4 tests against the best test nation).

no warm ups for the t20 in the Caribbean yet they can manage two warm up matches before the IPL!!!

and they wonder why they got battered the first two tests!

I guess any lack in preparation by the Indians is their problem isn't it. Surely you should be happy about this as it will be to their opponents advantage.

Besides, if you knew me from 606 you would know I am not exactly a fan of Indian.

Please try to tone down the insults, it doesn't lend your argument any weight and it makes you look class.

Fact is, any perceived lack of respect will be damaging to Indian's chances of winning and I believe the Indians are professional enough to appreciate this.

dunny old bean, no need to try and talk down to people, it isn't very becoming of you.

india have been arrogantly strutting the world chasing money. no money in warm up matches, let's get some easy tests in the WIndies instead and make tons of money from advertising and sponsorship.

your average fan back home couldn't give two hoots about a match against Durham or Glamorgan, but their is more interest in smashing the WIndies in test matches.
