rkt.india Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Would things have changed if MSD had said "Look we have got our beasts in the form of Umesh and Varun. Opponents beware' date=' our bowlers are going to kill you soon with their pace"?[/quote'] No captain will say this though. He should be more encouraging towards fast bowlers though.
ravsdh Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Eden, Kotla, Wankhede, Chennai these should be the 4 venues. Let the practice games be held at Hyderabad and Mohali against weaker sides. gujarat will always get a test in a big series, narendra modi always sees to that
saneindian Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 No captain will say this though. He should be more encouraging towards fast bowlers though. Didn't Yadav say that MSD and the team management have asked him to bowl as quick as he can? Didn't he say this about Aaron "I think he bowled quick, and that's one thing we are looking for." What else do you expect him to say? That we have finally found our Lee and Shoaib Akhtar?

But then why so much contradiction in statements. In one match he says something and then something else in another that confuses people.
saneindian Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 But then why so much contradiction in statements. In one match he says something and then something else in another that confuses people. One was a match specifc comment, the other was a comment on the overall series.
ganeshran Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Because England will never reach that level where India was at the start of the series. Or I should say England won't be hyped like India. India had defeated England at home and away previously. India is WC winner and test # 1. With it's great batting line-up, India was expected to win or at least draw the series. England won't come to India as WC champions, test rank 1. They would not be expected to win series in India because of their poor record in India. What happened to India never happened to any team before. But if India defeats England at home, it won't be a big surprise. How can India take ensure that England get similar humiliation? India will have to do something extraordinary. A whitewash in India would be an equal humiliation, England would be the number 1 when they visit us. Though I doubt that our bowling can actually pull off a whitewash.

Though I doubt that our bowling can actually pull off a whitewash. Not sure about that. They play against Pak and SL in Asia and then SA in England. Could well be at number 3 or 4 by the time they visit us.
ganeshran Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Not sure about that. They play against Pak and SL in Asia and then SA in England. Could well be at number 3 or 4 by the time they visit us. Also If SA whitewash Aus and SL both, they would move to number 1, before the Eng Pakistan series.
MCcricket Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 England teams success is built on Finn , Tremlett, who are very good, other bowlers and batsmen wont be as successful in India, I think England will slowly be on par with India , Australia in test's.
Vijay.Sharma Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 But then why so much contradiction in statements. In one match he says something and then something else in another that confuses people.My dear, that is because when he (or for that matter anyone else) sez something you must interpret it under the confines of it's time, space, perspective, and context. :--D
WC2011INDIA Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 please play in kanpur, england will get humiliated just like saffers...... rest 3 must be played at the traditional venues, bcoz of massive crowd support nd that traditional venues like kolkata,chennai, will never dissapoint india please dont play on mumbai, i have great doubts on that + england drew 1-1 in 2006 here India just disappointed us in Kolkata.......
MCcricket Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 In A WAY IT IS A RETRIBUTION FOR dHONI, selectors decision , timing of the tour, no practise games, bad replacements, Dhoni playing 11 choices were wrong,he is trying to justify his choices in a way.
