wobblydoggy Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 "Bob Willis has just said apart from the current Indian line up at its best, nobody could have lived with that bowling" Taken from cricinfo :yay::yay::yay: Haterz :finger: Rubbish, it was good bowling, but then it was allowed to be. Not one of our batsmen attacked them, shameful and no excuses please Bob Willis, it was crap
King Tendulkar Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Willis was talking rubbish saying only indians in pomp could have scored runs. England were pathetic, batted with so much fear
saneindian Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Sanga scored 500+ runs in the series not too long on the same pitches against the same attack. It was a shame Lanka had dropped Samaraweera for that series, else could have been a different story all together.

vvvslaxman Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Bangladesh Shakib al hasan just scored 144 against them in the same condition

But I liked what he said, when great batting is talked about, instantly our famed lineup is brought up :yay:

wobblydoggy Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Morgan is not a test cricketer i hate to say this, but i agree:((

But I liked what he said, when great batting is talked about, instantly our famed lineup is brought up :yay:[/quote'] Dravid, Tendulkar are all time great batsmen who did well across several countries, against varied attacks. At their best sure they are going to come out on top. Having said that on this particular pitch lot of subcontinent sides would have done far better. Australia would have done better.
King Tendulkar Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 i hate to say this' date=' but i agree:(([/quote'] What about Pieterson? I know he did well in summer but that was against us and we were pathetic. To me over last couple of years he just does not look right, not convincing. Not the player he was. Monty looked good though:--D

They always have a predetermined plan to spinners which fails big time, like sweep every ball or play off back foot. You have to do what works for you. Terrible collapse.

Dravid_TheWall Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 True it did bring a smile to my face. Good words from Mr Burns Back in the day, opponents used to fear this batting line up. Even if they got one wicket, they would suddenly be greeted with another class batsman then another e.t.c
King Tendulkar Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I hate Pietersen' date=' would like to see Carberry in his place[/quote'] Pieterson is better the Craberry imo. Although carberry fielding is amazing, PACE! Get rob key in for subcontinent trips
asterix Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 They largely depend on that Saffer Trott but unfortunately he shat in his pants today...
Cricket Tragic Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I hate Pietersen' date=' would like to see Carberry in his place[/quote'] I'm yet to see an English supporter who does NOT hate/dislike Pietersen. I just don't get it.
vvvslaxman Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Saeed Ajmal has better record than KP :cantstop:
wobblydoggy Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I'm yet to see an English supporter who does NOT hate/dislike Pietersen. I just don't get it. It is because he is over rated. Look at his performances here. I think a player trying to earn his place like Carberry would do a lot better
