VRV Singh Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 If I bowl rubbish, Mushy [Mushtaq Ahmed, England's spin bowling coach] just says to me, "Don't worry, Mr Swanny. Everything is still okay. The sun will still shine tomorrow." :haha:
Cricket Tragic Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Reminds me of his Ashes diary in which he makes fun of Mushy. :cantstop:

CG Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 If Zak does not play Tomm. If zak does not paly tomm ,i think he should be called back to india and a replacemnet should be flown in may be Yadav,aaron,R.p singh .
Trichromatic Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Yes, it's better to have a replacement on the tour unless it's guaranteed that he will play 4th test. I don't understand the obsession with Aaron. He hasn't done anything exceptional in FC cricket.
rahuld9 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 yeah defo get a replacement, but get someone a little bit different, maybe bit of pace or another left armer, something different. And tbh without him in the third test, no point bcoz were gonna struggle to get 20 wickets for less than 800 runs.
rahuld9 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Ojha or Mishra or Four Seamers. Personally, I would opt for Mishy in the next test for the reason that he is a wickettaker, and that's what we need or we not really gonna get 20 wickets cheaply anytime soon, and he can bat a bit to support fragile tail. Ojha is a great prospect but I don't want him trying to keep the runs down tbh. Four seamers would have been my choice but the amount of bowling that the likes of Praveen and Ishant have had means that we need a spinner. What u guys think?
Cricketics Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Mishra for me. Bowled prety well in west indies. and didn't do to bad in warm ups after he arrived in England. Should get a go now. I don't know if Ojha has bowled anything anways from past few months.

He hasn't done anything exceptional in FC cricket. As he decent pace and can swing it,also i do not see guys like mithun,vinaykumar, who are proven failures should again be persisted.

gult Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Ojha or Mishra - Whoever does well in the Northanmptonshire match
rahuld9 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Ojha or Mishra - Whoever does well in the Northanmptonshire match India never takes practice games seriously though, so hopefully they do tmoro.
Trichromatic Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Depends on the type of pitch. As Wobbly posted in other thread that Edgbaston might help spinners also. I would like to see Mishra in such conditions. England don't play leg-spinners in much either.
wobblydoggy Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Mithun and Vinay Kumar RP Singh would be good idea. Yep ! and then when our batsmen have finished with him his new name will be RIP Singh:--D
Trichromatic Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 India never takes practice games seriously though' date=' so hopefully they do tmoro.[/quote'] Tomorrow's practice match is more important. Expect all players who are willing to find form and fitness to play in the match.

rahuld9 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Tomorrow's practice match is more important. Expect all players who are willing to find form and fitness to play in the match. Hopefully Vibhash, but Duncan Fletcher is known to not take practice games seriously.

Talwar Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 4 seamers, spinners have been useless in this series so far.
wobblydoggy Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Damn Fletcher. Doesn't matter what he thinks. Injuries and poor performance' date=' it will be mistake to take the match lightly.[/quote'] I loathe Flatcher, why on earth did India take him to be coach?
