Test match bowling units

[vaibhav_delhi]

So you mean winning one test match in each country confirms that the team has a world class bowling attack

yes, to a good extent

[vaibhav_delhi]

The quality of cricket is so bad... they are so rubbish compared to the bowlers in 90s (other than india) indian bowling is slightly better now.

indian , english, SA, lankan bowling is better than the 90's

[Temujin Khaghan]

indian ' date=' english, [b']SA, lankan bowling is better than the 90's

eng ok.. but :--D

South Africa is the greatest cricket nation in the whole world. a team that loses players like Strauss,KP,Kieswetter,Trott and still is one of the best sides in the world shows there class. As for the bowling, Imran Tahir will solve South Africa's spin problem. Pakistan with Amir+Asif have a better bowling attack than India so rating India 7.5 and Pak only 6.5 is biased

pakistan has got NOTHING, cant you see that they are a light year behind top 5 teams in rating points? Opposition bowlers seem to always do better than them. can you live in delusion all your life. Nobody cares.

a bowling attack which could not get 20 Pak wickets , sure is the greatest :hysterical:

Why you think Pakistan attack even with your Amir and Asif are better than India's attack. See you guys have false notion that you attack is world class because your batting is so putrid which gives an illusion that your attack is better than it actually is in reality.

My rating: SA(8.0) > Eng=Ind=Aus(7.5) > Pakis(6.5) > SL (6.0) > NZ (5.9) > WI (5.7)

Can you explain how NZ bowlers are that much below Indian, given the last two tests and the batting lineup each have had to bowl to? I'm not saying I rate our bowlers, just saying.

SA could take only 1 paki wicket on the 5th day. you should not judge by the performances on such tracks. Has NZ won a test in WI, eng, sa, aust, lanka or india? No, right. indian bowling's rating in well justified imo.

:facepalm: That's because the lack of a real good batting lineup, their bowling is not much worse than what we have now. And we are talking about current bowling lineup.

[ZodiaC]

On paper, lankan side looks the balanced (not necessarily the best, but still balanced) lineup. Malinga and Kula = more than decent pace bowlers, Mendis & Randiv = fine spinners. If bhajji was in the form he used to be our attack would've been right up there on top. The best bowling lineup is SA as of now, with Steyn, Morkel & Kallis. Harris sucks.

kula is probably their 5th choice seamer for the tests. He is not tht good in tests. And Malinga misses more test matches than he plays.

wrong.they do have a decent bowling, but their bowling is also weaker than ours, you are basing your judgment over recent flat and slow tracks only. They have struggled to take 20 wickets outside of NZ.

When? They nearly took our 20 wickets over here. In flat pitches every bowling attack looks poor. And mostly their bowlers arre unable to take 20 wickets because their batsmen are below par.

Dude, I'm saying from that list, not considering how often they miss/play bla bla.

ok champion, keep believing that indian bowlers have no role in test wins in every test playing nation. but for me, {zaheer, sharma} are better than any kiwi pacer. vettori>bhajji only on current form. for overall career, bhajji=vettori probably. ojha>patel and martin>sresanth

Don't put words in my mouth, where the eff did I say that our bowlers had no role to play in our wins? Zaheer is better than their whole bowling lineup. Vettori>Bhajji based on current form. Ishanth, Sree on current form is worse than Southee, etc. So they aren't much worse than us.

[jf1gp_1]

i dont get it; first we say Indian pitches are dead; then on these pitches when our bowlers do manage a win we credit it to home advantage. If you look at our last away tours to england, SA, Aus and NZ we won in england and NZ and won atleast 1 test match in both Aus and SA. At home apart from SA we havent lost to anyone. Yes we dont have an express bowler BUT we have good enough bowlers to win a test match when conditions permit a result.

[Ranjha]

Lankan bowling looks good.

[The Realist]

Bowling worldwide is pretty mediocre. None of the attacks are exactly frightening and its no wonder big scores are piled up and the rate of scoring is much quicker.
