The Outsider Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I don't this really helps India much. On paper, yes, but in reality, it is the Indian bowling which is downright terrible and if the opposition scores 300+ batting first, then it really takes out of the equation what bowlers they have to defend the score to an extent. And Bollinger and Hilfenhaus are not duds. The pressure of chasing 300+ compensates for having a weak bowling attack for the Aussies. The only way India can start winning on a consistent basis is to sort out their bowling. No batting line up can chase 300+ scores regularly. Have to restrict the opposition to below 270 or so 80% of the times. Link to comment
Jersey #10 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Bollinger and hilfenhaus are both quicker than any of the Indian bowlers! They are not bad bowlers but they are being benched only because OZ has even better bowlers like LEE and Mitch... If these two had been in any other country ...they would be the first choice of all...:yes: Link to comment
Cricketics Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 This is a week Aussie team without Lee. If we win, we shouldn't be too proud, and if we lose, which should just start thinking about how tuff it will be to get back and chase the 2-0 trail. Tomorrow is a good opportunity to level the series. Link to comment

Chorazin Reto Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Lee, Hopes, Johnson, Clarke, Haddin, Bracken, this is an Australia A side that India should whip, India will be full strength minus Z.Khan? Link to comment
bunny Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hilfenhaus and/or Bollinger will easily compensate for Johnson. They never needed Hopes to bowl. Hopes should actually not be playing ODI cricket at all so the only loss will be Lee which can be huge if Sidel doesnt fire. Link to comment
