asterix Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Even school kids play better spin than these over hyped bunch of displaced South Africans. Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Naah it wasn't the same team. And the form Indian team is in right now' date=' Pak could easily wipe the floor against the likes of Indian team. :winky:[/quote'] You wish :winky: India wouldn't find it too difficult facing the spinners on a track like the one they are playing on. I can see our Maharathis jumping over each other to bat in those conditions. Link to comment
Karan114 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 :giggle: : Greatest Teams As great as the sum of their parts George Dobell picks his top five teams in the history of Test cricket George Dobell November 3, 2011 England, 2009-2011 A controversial choice, perhaps (and only just edging the England side of 1911-12), but the statistics of England's recent success are compelling. England have won eight (and drawn one) of their last nine series and 20 of their last 31 Tests. Perhaps even more impressively, 10 of those victories have been by innings margins. Four of England's batsmen are rated in the top ten and five of their bowlers are in the top 11 of the Test rankings. They have a well-balanced bowling attack that offers pace, bounce, swing and spin and a strong batting line-up including several men - Pietersen, Cook, Strauss and Bell - who all look set to surpass the current English record of 22 Test centuries. Not only that, but they have inflicted crushing defeats upon India, Australia and Sri Lanka who have, in recent times, all been vying for top positions in the ICC Test rankings. No team has ever gone to Australia and inflicted three innings defeats in a series, while the Indian team defeated 4-0 in the summer of 2011 contained several players of the highest class - Tendulkar, Dravid, Dhoni and Laxman among them. Uniquely among all the teams in this list, they key man in the England set-up is not actually a player. It is the coach, Andy Flower. Inheriting an under-performing, divided squad, he has instilled a work ethic and sense of purpose that has taken the side to the top of the world rankings. http://www.espncricinfo.com/greatestteams/content/story/538999.html Lol at George Dobell Link to comment
VRV Singh Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 We should loan them Dhakkan Fletcher to teach them the forward press :icflove: Link to comment

Indian team is good against spin no doubt, but not invincible. Against this Pak spin attack...your players can easily struggle big. Link to comment
saneindian Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 The spin twins would be tamed once they come up against Sehwag, who anyways loves batting against Pakistan. In fact, there would be no better dose to re-energise our team than a series vs Pakistan. Link to comment

Even Boje managed a 5 wkt haul in India :giggle: Other than Ajmal I don't see these bowlers a threat and I trust Indian batsmen to figure out Ajmal as well. Plus Ojha, Ashwin and co. wouldn't exactly be non-threatening on these tracks either. If Monty can take wkts against you I trust Ojha and co. to spin webs around Paki batsmen :--D Link to comment
