India Test team after 2 years


Recommended Posts

- Umesh (currently bowls around 145 kmph' date=' gives much needed pace boost to our attack, which could be useful against teams like Pak, SL, Eng, NZ, WI, etc)[/quote'] Lets make this clear..Umesh is no Tait or Steyn... even in IPL..with those 4 overs and in the evening when it isn't that hot..his pace was fluctuating between 125 and 145...(this maybe the speedgun..but that is all we have to know how fast he is actually bowling) 145kmph is not his average speed by a long shot unlike what most people here seem to believe :hitler:

His pace could be fluctuating because he could be mixing things up (which is what you would expect a bowler to do in limited overs). And who said he is Tait or Steyn? I said that he is pretty quick. I could see how some of the guys were slow when playing him. Given the option that we have, I wouldn't hesitate to try to groom him for tests

Fail predictions :rofl:

Scary thought indeed, lets hope our young players can grap the opportunities they get and prove they have the ability. I recently read a interview by Rahul Dravid, where he said that he and his peers would like to be remembered for leaving Indian cricket in a better state than when they had joined and they certainly have done that. I hope the players coming in to step into their big shoes don't undo the hard work that was done by our greats.
What a jinx this turned out to be.

dont jinx it man :pray:
Honestly, I don't see his body coping up. He plays all formats - Tests, ODIs and T20s (rarely skips a match if not banned or taking a rare break), IPL and CPL. Then he keeps which means he's active all the time in a match, captains and also bats (in the subcontinent). Then he is always busy with press conferences and busy explaining why his team lost. And whatver spare time he gets in between, he fills that up by acting in commercials. How much more can a man take?

I think thats the route they will take...considering the sponsers pressure also. By the time we have to go abroad again..then they will retire...& leave basically more inexperienced team to handle the tougher conditions (or maybe they will retire soon seeing how they cant perform on Indian wickets also)

OP Hope you're right but the way self denial is in progress dont be surprised if you see all these selfish pensioners in the side and that the team is: 1 - sehwag 2- tendulkar 3- dravid 4- laxman 5- gambhir

gambhir rahane kohli rohit pujara raina dhoni ashvin jadeja praveen umesh
Whats wrong with people yaar. Kohli is not 1 down material. You need more of a Pujara type guy there. Or any steady guy. Who can stop the boat being rocked/collapsed. I would still play Sehwag for Raina. He has plenty to offer but not as an opener. This is my lineup gambhir rahane pujara Sehwag kohli rohit dhoni ashvin jadeja praveen umesh
