Trichromatic Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Indian batsman have seen off Murali and Warne in India. Swann is nothing to fear compared to those two. They had also seen McGrath Steyn and other great bowlers and did better than what they did against likes of Hilfenhaus, Broad, Bresnan and Siddle who are nothing compared to those bowlers. This current team can struggle against anyone. Link to comment

Trichromatic Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I agree on this. But let's hope for better result. It would be very good effort by Indian team if they manage to win the series by 1-0 or 2-1. In that case. A draw won't be bad result. Link to comment

Isn't this same team that lost 5-0 to Ravindra Jadeja ? Link to comment

Isn't this same team that lost 5-0 to Ravindra Jadeja ? At least this England team is better than England team of 2006 and 2008. We hardly managed to draw the series in 2006 and won 2008 series just because of that brilliant inning by Sehwag. During those two tours also we won all ODI matches (except for incomplete matches), 6-0 in 2006 and 5-0 in 2008. Our players were in better form at that time. What's so funny about this?

I expect a series victory for India on turning tracks without losing a test if we play to our potential. Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Have you seen batting of this England team against spin ? :hysterical::hysterical: We don't have world class spinners. Their batsmen such against spin, but our bowling just not good enough to completely destroy them. Bowlers would need rank turners to do anything like that. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 He hasn't got home advantage and turning tracks in tests yet. :winky: Swann is successful against lefties, not so against righties. Check his stats against them and see the difference. India only have on lefty in GG. Link to comment

I don't think Herath is particularly good. On top of that, Zaheer Khan and Umesh Yadav should cause the England batsman more problems than any of the Sri Lankan pace attack did. Link to comment
kabira Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 To piss the poms off. Their players and journalists hate the place. :giggle: what Poms will be there for almost 2 weeks? they have practice game there as well Link to comment

That type of thing is hardly happening with Indian team these days. Just see Samuels and Sammy today. They scored easily against England whereas Indian team struggled to cross 300 against them even if our batsmen were more capable than Samuels and Sammy. Indian bowlers struggled even against inexperienced WI batting line-up. Link to comment
zep1706 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Can we repatriate Sunil Naraine, he would eat them alive in India :P Link to comment
jairamesh Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Can we repatriate Sunil Naraine' date=' he would eat them alive in India :P[/quote'] He would be banned for chucking playing for India, by BCCI. Link to comment
Utalk Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Guys stop worrying. Prepare turning wickets and pick any half decent spinner with Ojha and see Eng struggle. Mental scars from last winter will play in your hands. I expect Sehwag to hammer them up front and rest should do well. Link to comment
Needforspeed Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 :omg: if its coverred by snow..How are they going to play here? Link to comment
