Overhaul of our ODI Bowling needed ASAP

[champ]

And a four pronged spin attack comprising of Mish, Bhajj, Piyush and Praggers Ojhers Rope in Irfan Pathan to bowl TWO (no more) with the new ball. Sachin will bowl his medium pace along side him. Take the shine off. Discuss

ooh some one's hurting by yesterdays match . but playing only spinners :giggle: .. wat a ploy :clap: u don't want teams to create all kinds of records against us right.. ????

[Sooda]

it was, believe it or not, said in jest. should generally look to go in with two spinners tho I think. And a med-pace bolwing all rounder

[donkey]

stop blaming bowling coach. you can blame venki as bowling coach if our seamers have suddenly lost action ' date=' follow through anything of that sort . this is just basics of maintaining a line and length in pressure situations .. this is of course bowlers responsibility.[/quote'] Why even have a bowling coach if he cant be held responsible for anything. I bet Venky waits for Akram feedbacks during commentary to figure out whats wrong with his students. Even Irfan Pathan's career was ruined under Venky's watch.

[Texy]

Venky is a horrible bowling coach and he has been enjoying his fat dough contract for a while now without any result

i think indian bowlers are'nt doing that bad you cant be in top 3 by just batting good, you won compaq cup and test series from eng australia, and only time its really been down the line is in the match vs pak, but to me that was a captains fault, 17 overs have been gone pak is 3 down, then why bring part timers like kohli and pathan into game, its fair enough if it was t20 and pak was looking for runs and pathan gets a wicket or two but in 50 overs game once you let the batsman settle down, then even you bring your strike bowler on its going to be a tough job getting wickets, i think instead of kohli, harbhajan would have been a better choice. india can win next two matches for pak, but i hope they are close matches:two_thumbs_up:

if we bowled better lines and length, we wouldn't have conceeded 300+ if its short and wide, it will be put away, no wonder it'll be a nightmare

same ground... Eng scored 327 against SA.. its a flat track guys.. if you have avg batting line up, you will get carted..

Ive got a plan- they should have a 'career cycle' wherein each paceman plays two years, then takes a 3 year rest before returning- that way the 3 cr@ppy years in between -which seem inevitable for indian pacers, he will not be playing. And hopefully toward the tail end of their careers theyll be ok again-like Zak. So Ishant is nearing the end of his good phase, drop him now. Bring in Tyagi (for his 15 month phase) and Sreesanth (who having been dropped already for about an year or so will be ok again) See where they went wrong with RPS is bringing him back too soon. Drop him now. And Irfan needs about a year or so on the sidelines too, he is always recalled too early. Same for Munaf When Tyagi and Sreesanth end their 'good phase' (in about a year) Bring RPS, and Irfan and MAYBE Ishant back in. Also have a look at whether say Kulkarni can play a year or so of internationals Zak could be the constant in all this. ITLL WORK!

Strangely enough, not sure if you're tongue in cheek about your post, but it actually might work !!

[Sooda]

Tounge firmly in cheek. Only because realistically it wont happen. Most top international bowlers have bad matches- ours have bad seasons. Tis a good idea though

[Jersey #10]

Some one please educate these bowlers that there is something called yorker. We need Sreesanth big time on these tracks. My dream line up would be... Sreesanth, Nehra, IK Pathan, Zak, Bhajji ---> 50 overs Sachin, Yuvi, Raina, Rohit ---> Part timers for back up if one of the specialists fail... In this case, we could have players till number 9 considering that Zak can make a fair effort in batting now.

[rahul005]

Bring back Balaji and Sreesanth. :winky:
