Cricketics Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 i bloody was saying saying that pick him pick him yes he performed.. take that.. what a player..
sandtest Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 It was nostalgic to watch him crossing 149Kms naturally....:two_thumbs_up: So, finally vegetarian Yindoos can bowl with real pace :giggle:
Predator_05 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 The Aussie commentators mentioned that his dismissals of Ponting and Symonds were 'McGrath-like'
Sachinism Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 he has really given ponting a working over this series
mhr123 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 over and over again............that is why he will never be a tendulkar or lara!! :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
Predator_05 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 From 3-31-1 at one point, he had figures of 7/2 in his next 6 overs, finally finishing with 4/38 in 9.1. Awesome

Dhondy Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Superstar. Moving the ball both ways off the seam at 145+. Will destroy batting sides all over the world if he remains fit, this kid. I dare Indian selectors to drop him for the SA series.
Predator_05 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 So where is RP going to fit in when he returns ? Test specialist ?
Dhondy Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 No, Pred.As I said in my Triple S thread, and the article on pacemen on the front page, Sharma-Singh-Sreesanth have got to be the top three choices, ahead of Zaheer and Pathan. Nothing against Zaheer, but gotta go with the young guns. Not often your future is also your present. Bet you though that our venerable selectors go in with two spinners for the SA series.

Our Indian pitches are not pace friendly, so there is no sanity in picking 4/5 pace men in your playing XI
King Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Every batsman goes through ups and downs, it's now Ponting's time to bore the brunt. He seems to struggle even lasting few overs. I guess the down slide may have started for him and he may never again be able to enjoy the golden run he had for few years.
mhr123 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Our Indian pitches are not pace friendly' date=' so there is no sanity in picking 4/5 pace men in your playing XI[/quote'] Better have a rotation policy so that our fast bowlers r not burn out and neither get injured frequently.We have Zaheer,Irfan,RP,Ishat... we can rotate them in the upcoming test .

Dhondy Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Our Indian pitches are not pace friendly' date=' so there is no sanity in picking 4/5 pace men in your playing XI[/quote'] That's what you'd think, wouldn't you? Good fast bowlers will score on all tracks though. The trick is to select the three best and pair them with Kumble, and give them the pitch to go with it. We can do it, just requires a bit of courage and will.
Predator_05 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I guess the down slide may have started for him and he may never again be able to enjoy the golden run he had for few years. Ravi, the moment he walks onto the pitch against Pakistan, feasts his eyes on their sh itty, scrawny medium pacers and pie-chucking spinners - it will be like the golden run never stopped in the first place. Hundreds, double hundreds, he will be back scoring in no time. Recently he has been undone by quality fast bowling - a rarity these days.
Dhondy Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 BTW, Pred, I am convinced that right handers can't survive against Sharma if they look to play him to the off. You've got to open up your stance against him (a two eyed stance), and look to play him predominantly towards the leg, a bit like what Tendulkar does all the time.
kooljatt Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 or use the short form RX i'll call him "RDX" rajdhani delhi express:hatsoff:
