bowling is a worry when your team relies on one pacer youv'e got to keep him fit

true .. ishant was dissapointing in england to say the least and i dont expect rookies to go there and win us matches they are talented bt experinced guys need to guide them got high hopes on yadav and ishant (maybe this is the turning point)

[panther]

batting needs to perform as well unlike in england

[Old guy]

yep australian batting too looking good watson in better form then sehwag,warner is good,marsh will be there and he is gret,so is khawaja ( he batted well in those south african conditions he is quality player one for future) ponting looking better,clarke in good form,haddin got 80 here and won them the last match while chasing against south africa..umummmisnt so easy anymore tbh :P

LOL nah man that spell was good i was awake and thought why not watch that match 3 wickets in 1 over! sorry but i lost some confidence in my eam when we lost 4-0 in england u cant blame me. itsn ot like im going for their heads.. and going after players like usual fans do im jsut saying our chances are less to win compared to time when both cummins,pattinson werent discovered

[Old guy]

Doesn't make us equal to Australia. Lot has changed. When India toured England, India was to challenge England hard. But we were roundly thrashed in all formats. India has regressed significantly since the world cup win. Even though Windies tour was thought to be a good series to test youngsters i think it was a mistake. India as a team lost their rythm with new combination coming in the interim. India struggled to cross 300 for a very long time. This time both our bowling and batting look iffy. Atleast on previous tours our batting was very strong.

I feel India will win test's , cannot predict series results , we were cheated of series victory last time around, my heart goes with India , but a good start is important, form of Sehwag , Ashwin , Zak the key components.Teams are matched if u look at OZ home conditions otherwise India might be better. Big plus being Umesh looks very good, Ishant seems to be improving, Ashwin will pose a problem,I want to see Rohit in our test team before Kohli. To see Sachin score centuries, India winning the series,cant get better then that , we might also come closer to numero uno position.I hope there is some needle between the two teams, because that will work in our favour,Zak , Ishant, Umesh might be the best pace attack that has ever bowled for India, also with Ashwin this might be the best bowling lineup we ever had.I hope Dhoni finds a way to score outside India, number six batsmen will be critical to bat with our tail which is markedly good now , with Ashwin , Zak ,Ishant.

Damn you Australia.:hitler: Yet another fast bowler unleashed. Very impressed with their system. Keeps producing world class talent. As of now looks like Australia have found two gems in Cummins and Pattinson. So its going to be tought times ahead for our batsmen on this tour.

We will also terrorize them. Don't underestimate, we have VK, BK, PK, IKP- the quartet to unleash.

Aussies are praying India don't select karnataka trio. else it'll be a murderous summer for aussie batsmen. They are *****ing in their pants after watching their videos in FC. :haha:

Not to mention their fielding is always going to be much superior to ours.

Australia got new pacers in. Starc and Pattison, not sure if they will be playing against India, but they looked deadly in the last test against NZ. Starc was easily hitting 140 with his silly run up and he was bouncing the ball to chest area. Mccullum was stranded a few times by Starc. One on the chest then one on the helmet. He also gave Guptill a hard time. Pattison was all over the place though. Seeing Starc perform so good, I think its game over for India. Indian spinners are gonna fail on Australian pitches and pacers are just gonna suck. Its over for India as far as I see it.

[vvvslaxman]

Anyone who can bounce the ball trouble India.
