Well done India! Is this the next mountain to scale next?

We've done well with the Aussies. Kudos. Is this the next mountain to scale? SL in SL are like a fortress. Even SL outside SL in spin friendly pitches (now that they have Murali and Mendis bowling in tandem in tests) are very difficult to overhaul, looks like. The M&M mountain needs to be demolished somehow. Traditionally India has played spin well, but now even Monty Panesar and Jason Krazy are causing us issues once in a while. M&M ofcourse mesmerized us. We need to get a good batting consultant for learning art of batting against spin to YENGSTER generations. Will Gavaskar be a good consultant? Any other names? (since SMG is busy with "other commitments with TV")

I thought they PWNED him in the ODI series. He is not as big a threat as you make him out to be. But, yes definitely more trickier than the rest. But, when do we play them next?

The next mountain is England and the next is Pakistan. With Tendulkar in the team, I cant see what extra a Gavaskar will bring. I would look at other players who played spin well in their time. Sidhu was very effective and so was Manjrekar. Both were capable of reading the spin in the air.....a quality that helps against the likes of Mendis whose wrist and finger movements do not really help in judging the ball. Azharuddin would be out of picture for obvious reasons. BTW Tendulkar has mastered all that art anyways. I dont think we need an extra coach for that.

Domaink, Tendulkar is in the *current* team. He has other things to focus on, rather than 'be a consultant' and help the rest of the players. Thats a dedicated job, and we need to get someone professional. After SRT retires, he can do that, but right now he is busy in the playing 11.

By the way, who (which country) plays SL next? It'll be interesting to see how M&M fare against rest of the countries (well, we know one M is the king of spin, what abt the other M - will be interesting to see)

[punjabi_khota]

When do we play SA next ? They are probably our nearest competitor

[The Outsider]

Don't think we'll be playing SL in SL for at least another 3-4 years - Murali would have retired by then.
