Bowling Lineup for the Australian Series

[rkt.india]

imo that's the best line up for india even though he is unlikely to be picked i still think sreesanth is india second best fast bowler currently

He struggled even in the Ranji match he played, went for 5 rpo.

He struggled even in the Ranji match he played' date=' went for 5 rpo.[/quote'] his ability to swing the ball both ways and excellent seam position makes him my choice over ishant

He does not swing both ways. PK swings both ways. Sreesanth has good out swinger, no inswinger. Excellent seam position does not give you wicket when you are so inconsistent.

2 from: Zak (if fit), Ishant, Aaron Yadav Ashwin

[Lord]

PK is a must in the series he will bowl at the stumps n will be relentless.Sammy in this series n Philander in SA have proved u dont need to be express,just bowl in right areas with swing

[cowboysfan]

I would still play Ashwin on Boxing day in Melbourne.

[MCcricket]

Ishant Zak Umesh three fast bowlers , pick themselves P Kumar Gony / Varun has potential , mayne needs a bit more time to play test's, should play ODI'S though Spinners Ashwin Ojha Overall if we have bowlers bowling to thrie potential , this lineup is better then the Aussie lineup, per form, I hope they play Johnson, Ponting,and their opener, these are the weak links

[Sooda]

What about Anwar Ahmed Khan?

What about Anwar Ahmed Khan?

Lol are u being a smart ass, although this guy is the most promising ranji bowler we have , only in his first season , but def a wild card, yes Philander took a few wickets and he is no g8 shakes, but the wickets in SA were bowlers paradise.

[Bumper]

Ojha is a very ordinary spinner. His only role in the squad is to keep Harbhajan out (it's scary to think of an Indian squad Down Under that includes this charlatan!). So Ashwin will be my choice for the playing XI. Umesh & Ishant must play every test. I doubt Zaheer is gonna last the series, if he's fit he must lead the attack, else Aaron takes his spot. Our batsmen should look to post 350+ in the first innings of each test. If we manage that we will have a face-saving series. Sehwag is a big worry, his form will have a direct impact on our fortunes - we are a different team with him firing.

PK is a must in the series he will bowl at the stumps n will be relentless.Sammy in this series n Philander in SA have proved u dont need to be express' date='just bowl in right areas with swing[/quote'] how many wickets have Sammy taken in this series? and Philander is not as slow as PK. Philander bowls between 130-140K range and he bowled on SA pitches where he just needed to pitch in right area and bowl will do itself. In Australia, we will need bowlers who can bowl well even with old ball and not look ineffective like PK looked in WI and also in England.

[rkt.india]

why so much hate for sreesanth ishant is no better than him

Ishant may not be the best. He may not have many wicket taking deliveries like out swing of Sreesanth and Steyn or yorker of Malinga, but he is kind bowler who will not let the pressure go from the other end of Zak has created pressure from the other end and pressure creates chances to get wickets. The kind of rhythm he is in now, he will be very handy in Australia and also he will get some extra bounce.

Twice as many as any other WI bowler. :yay:

PK may not be as effective with the old ball,but if he can get 2 wickets with new ball n maintain pressure with the old ball,thats enough.even Ishant was ineffective in England with the old ball. batsmen today are not scared of pace,they get frustrated if someone keeps bowling in right areas n that PK can do.he'll get swing anyways with his action n the pitch will give him bounce.thats lethal combo

it does not prove he is a strike bowler. it proves others did noy bowl well. you need to listen to ian bishop about sammy.
