SK_IH Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Veeru and Kumble are big factors in Ind, will clean sweep the newbies Ankit_sharma03 and sandsaims 2 Link to comment
Texan Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 That team batting was far superior. Sehwag, Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman The bowling attack is better now though, especially early promise shown by Bumrah. Link to comment
Number Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) the current side has 2 batsmen Kohli and Pujara Imagine Kumble vs Harane on day 4 Indian pitch Edited December 30, 2018 by Number Rightarmfast and Adi BB 2 Link to comment
kubrickian Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 2000s team will win but what that team lacked was good seamers other than Zak. But with the batting they had, they could post a big total and Zak and Kumble would be good enough to put pressure. But if batting fails, they dont have the bowling to bail the side out of trouble.

It is incredible how Zak had no support at all - Sreesanth, Irfan, RP Singh were all good in spurts here and there but overall he was India's only hope outside Asia. Link to comment
kubrickian Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Its important to consider where they are playing. At home, 2000s team all day every day. Overseas, it would be a tougher contest. Link to comment

sensible-indian Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 On paper, the 2000 Indian team must thrash the current team in India. But in a real fight, I think our current team will win or atleast the run that team close. Current Indian spinners know how to use the SG ball. So there won't be a Murali situation. Plus the whole team is clutch as hell in India. 2000 Indian team were never this dominating at home in the last decade. Bumrah-Shami-Ashwin-Jaddu-Kuldeep is an insanely relentless attack to face at home. It won't be easy even for the Fab 4 as there won't be any weaklings to target.

Jimmy Cliff Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 2000s team comfortably as they have only one weakness (2nd pacer). The current team doesn't have a settled opening pair, it has Rahane who can't bat in India and a lead spinner (i.e. Ashwin) who'd be taken to cleaners by the Fab 4 as well as Ganguly/Gambhir.

So we're forgetting the times when we outbowled the opposition, even when batting failed? If you're going by that argument then how would this side do if the bowling fails, which it will against our best ever batting lineup? Link to comment
Dil Dil India Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 India was very dominant at home even in the 00s - that team beat McGrath, Ponting, Gilchrist and Hayden 2-1; this team beat a much weaker Aus team 2-1...stats will show 2-1 for both teams so you could argue statistically both the Indian teams were equally dominant in their respective series but once you factor in strength of opposition, it's a no-contest.
