Imagine if Bumrah gets injured.....don't have hopes on Shami's return and don't want to talk about the thanda Siraj. On Aussie forum they seem to be really concerned with their batting which honestly is as weak as I have ever seen. Will be a close series if we prepare well. Hopefully Shami gets fit.

Will be a close series if we prepare well. Hopefully Shami gets fit. Bumrah, Shami need to be wrapped in cotton wool. Don't need to play them in the home series against BD and NZ. Let us groom Akashdeep and some other youngster for a change. Aus batting may have issues but will settle before BGT, and even weak batting lineup will get fired up looking at Siraj, Mukesh, Prasidh, Unadkat. Lone Wolf and Vijy 2 Link to comment
Kron Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 No we cannot compete with poms and Australia if they 'cared' for cricket. We are inferior. We won cause they don't care nevada 1 Link to comment

Aus batting may have issues but will settle before BGT, and even weak batting lineup will get fired up looking at Siraj, Mukesh, Prasidh, Unadkat. Siraj is such a moody bowler... Needs a reality check like Gill. Talent is there but he needs motivation I feel. I think he may get dropped from T20 WC squad or may get thrashed in T20 WC.. That would be a decent setback. Mukesh I hope we have seen the last of him... May he get beating of a lifetime in IPl. That would be nice. Unadkat is much superior to him & that says something. Link to comment

They are the benchmark for rest of the world across sports. For me Aus, WI, Eng are superior. We have overtaken Pak in the last 10-15 years. To think we have produced our first great fast bowler 85 years after we got test status speaks volumes. Lone Wolf 1 Link to comment
rollingstoned Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 People bagging Siraj should remember that Warner said he was very hard to face last time out with his 3 quarter delivery. Ofc that was a Siraj with a point to prove who was making his debut yet still. Link to comment
