Positives of tour ?

[Number]

Test series has been disastrous , hardly anything that can be taken as positive. ODIs and T20s .. 1. Rahane got a chance , looked technically a good player. Hopefully his temperament at test level would be different , where he won't have to bother much about scoring quickly. 2. Raina and Dhoni restored their confidence , that was down in tests. 3. Virat once again came good and showed he will serve our middle order for a long time. 4. Ashwin looked good every time he bowled in the middle overs , some very good signs. 5. Parthiv , if he can improve his keeping .. will be a very good squad player to have.

2,3,4,5 are not positives. Dhoni, Raina, Ashwin were already doing fine in ODI format. Parthiv also continued his form from WI series. So no real positives.

Batting looks pretty decent even without- sachin, sehwag, gauti, yuvraj :clap:

Unless they improve their bowling strength, all positives are useless.

James is Indian I guess. There is an English poster 'luvabubba' whose real name is James.

2' date='3,4,5 are not positives. Dhoni, Raina, Ashwin were already doing fine in ODI format. Parthiv also continued his form from WI series. So no real positives.[/quote'] 1.Ashwin was showing signs of a good test bowler.He will be a good choice over harby in ODIs, earlier he wasn't. 2. Dhoni was struggling to score quickly in slog overs for a long time , I am not saying it will always work,but it's good for his confidence. 3. Raina lost in ODIs in WI a bit and a had bad test series here. This series shows , he can do well in bowling friendly conditions against good bowlers. 4. For Parthiv I would say , continuing a positive sign is also a positive sign till you become a permanent squad member.

I'd agree with point 1..The rest aren't really positives in the sense that we already knew what they were capable of

Parents both born in India. Dont get your hopes up, they will never play for India though.

His parents doesn't mean anything . He was born,educated,trained in England as any other white English kid. Regardless of the colour he is an englishman . Otherwise he will be a homegrown terrorist .
