36 all out was against highest quality of swing bowling by Hazlewood and Cummins. So yes, swing is the way to collapse our batting.

 

 

The ball was seaming that day. Not much swing. 

 

Neither Cummins nor Hazlewood are good swing bowlers.

What is currently means? It is not even two complete series. He is very good wicket keeper batsman.He  has the potential to be the greatest India wk batsman  in test cricket.

Let him get into top 10  icc rankings and then we can say this.

In current form I would say Gill. Pant is diff kind of batsman actually with different role better not compare but Gill is damn good right now and will only get better.

That was seam, not swing.

But there is an undeniable evidence that our batting lacks the ability to play swing as good as Ganguly/Sachin/Dravid, Sehwag and Laxman were bad players of swing. If this team is made to face Headingley 2002 like conditions, there will be double collapses <100 scores and innings defeat. The way Dravid neutralized swing and seam in that test followed by Sachin/Ganguly banking on strong foundation set by Dravid, unreal batting!

 

P.S.: I'd like to add that our current batting is fearless against pace while we had only Sachin and Laxman back then who handled pace well. Dravid and Ganguly always looked uncomfortable against anything above 140 kph.

2002 English bowling attack was average.

Well, in his defence, the chip on his shoulder comes in the way of reading posts properly.

Ah yes i am the one who has a chip and not someone who claims we really need to performn in one country before rating  batsmen. I am saying exactly what you are saying in this thread but you don't have a chip i suppose

He is one of the best.

It is a toss up between.

 

Rohit, Kohli, KL, Pant and Dhawan.

Same crowd that made fun of Rohit.

Let's see if Kohli has the audacity to continue with Rahul as keeper over Pant in ODIs and T20s.
