SRT100 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Which team would win if they played each other in the form they were in at Sydney in the respective years. I am going to controversially say that the Indian team of 2004 was superior. Sydney 2004 Test Team Chopra Sehwag Dravid Tendulkar Laxman Ganguly Patel Agarkar Pathan Kumble, Kartik Sydney 2019 Test Team Agarwal KL Pujara Kohli Rahane Vihari Pant Jadeja Kuldeep Shami Bumrah UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
chewy Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 2004 bowling looks weak and big handicap with wicket keeper, pappu UrmiSinhaRay and velu 1 1 Link to comment

zen Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) From 2004 side, I would pick Sehwag, Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman, Ganguly and Kumble (6 players), who were supported by Chopra+PP+Agarkar+Irfan From the 2019 team, I would pick Agarwal, Pujara, Kohli, Pant, Kuldeep, Shami and Bumrah (7 players), who were supported by Jadeja Edited January 8, 2019 by zen UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

krisIndianFan Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Nice hypothetical exercise.. i think the 2018 team is more fit and has a better bowling attack so would go with them.. batting was prob stronger back then Link to comment
R!TTER Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 We'll see about that in 2 years time, when Aus should field a better team. Virat has done wonders to the team, in terms of results. But I still don't see those game changing decisions that the likes of Clive Lloyd of Alan Border took, on the field. Tactically Virat can do better, same goes for team selection. velu 1 Link to comment
rkt.india Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 better bowling side will win. 2003 team just did not have the bowling. velu and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment

MechEng Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 2007-08 would beat both. Toughest Aussie tour after 1999-2000 one. Adi BB 1 Link to comment
Nonbeliever Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Current team will be beaten badly if the match is in india. Overseas also 2004 team will win. The kind of game kohli and others have against spin, kumble will probably get one more 10 out of 10. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
G_B_ Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 2004 better batting 2018 better bowling But key difference was that the Aussie team in 2004 was atg Stradlater, velu and Adi BB 3 Link to comment

Ankit_sharma03 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) 2003-04 bowling was pretty much a one man show - kumble and 1 or 2 spells by zak who got injured and then agarkar who was very inconsistent and his wkts adeilade was also due to opp aggression to win and not to forget they had a keeper who dropped many catches Irfan was new so wud have been ok not damaging This lineup has bowling but that lineup had batting to get in draws ..... So it will either be 2018-19 side win or draw coz 2003-04 side didnt have the bowling to win or atleast one man cudnt win it. Kohli, pujara and even rahane wud have played kumble better The only way 2003-04 team wud win is by making current team bat last and piling on runs which they were capable of with laxman in subliime form in that series and sehwag as x-factor . So i expect them to atleast win one of the games Edited January 9, 2019 by Ankit_sharma03 Link to comment

This current Aus pace attack was over-hyped as hell, they had worse numbers last years than any other top 5 or 6 test nation, just have a look at worldwide stats! http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/25718136/how-good-year-was-2018-bowlers-test-cricket Needless to say they were "unchi dukan pheeke pakwan" Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment
