PenPaperSports Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 As an Australian, the public here have gone mad over the 7 run loss today! I've written an article about it here, it's far too long to copy and paste. Have a read and share your thoughts on the site or below this post. http://www.penandpapersports.com/document.php?docID=521 What do you think needs to happen? A clean out or a few minor changes? Cheers, PPS
rkt.india Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 A bowling attack of Zaheer, Ishant, Yadav, and Ashiwn is not as poor as you are making out to be. If they all stay fit, it will give your batsmen run for their money.:two_thumbs_up:
rkt.india Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 It's not great' date=' though...[/quote'] Even Kiwi bowling was not great. I can certainly say that three main fast bowlers we have are better than any NZ bowler.
PenPaperSports Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 It was a greentop in Hobart - Suitable more for NZ bowlers as opposed to Indian bowlers. India has dry, dusty wickets - New Zealand has greentops (ie: Wellington, Christchurch etc)

India has dry, dusty wickets - New Zealand has greentops (ie: Wellington, Christchurch etc) India is good on green tops especially if Zak is there. Only thing is Zak is coming back after a long time. Even the few overs he bowled in England, he troubled England big time. But you don't really have to be great to run through Australia these days :cantstop:

India has dry, dusty wickets - New Zealand has greentops (ie: Wellington, Christchurch etc) Green top suits even Indian fast bowlers. Remember, we dismissed SA for 84 and 131 at Wanderers and Durban on the last 2 tours and both were green tops and also won both the matches.
Rightarmfast Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 PenPaperSports, luckily cricket is not played with pen and paper ! You are going to be shocked in a few weeks time ! If Aussie team wins, it wont be because the Indian bowling unit will be lacking. It will only be because they will up their standards since a duel with India has become a do or die for them !
Needforspeed Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I think what Penpapersports means by this thread is Indian fans need a reality check
PenPaperSports Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 "PenPaperSports, luckily cricket is not played with pen and paper !" What exactly do you mean by this?
jairamesh Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Green top suits even Indian fast bowlers. Remember' date=' we dismissed SA for 84 and 131 at Wanderers and Durban on the last 2 tours and both were green tops and also won both the matches.[/quote'] Exactly, Australia will not be rolling out green tops against India. Green tops makes even mediocre medium pacers effective, and hence will come down to the two teams' batting strength. On paper and on-field Australia's batting is found wanting against seam movement, which the oz selectors are well aware of. India's batting will also struggle but have enough experience and know how to ekk out scores of 280 to 300, which Australian batting line-up struggles even with Watson in the line-up. Funnily, Australia's best chance of winning this Test series is to produce the traditional bouncy good batting wickets, where there is less of risk of Australia's inexperience and out-of-form batsmen being exposed for their inability to play swing and movement.
MCcricket Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Zak, Ishant, Umesh , Aswin, if all are fit and bowling at their best , our attack is better then OZ, obviuosly batting is THE BEST,plus we have allrounders in Aswin,Dhoni,this will be a test for Dhoni not capaincy wise but to show he can bat in bouncier or seaming conditions.
PenPaperSports Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 Watson Warner Marsh Ponting Clarke Hussey Haddin Siddle Pattinson Cummins Lyon ... Would thump India.
MCcricket Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 We guys beat ur team last time around even NZ had done it under Fleming if not for 13 players, players and umpires lol, despite the blatant umpiring, that was ur best team , hear what Waugh, Mcgill, Symonds have to say, anyways u will find out.BEATEN BY NZ,one of the smallest cricket playing nation , with smallest pool of players, I am taken a back with the fall in standards.
rkt.india Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Watson Warner Marsh Ponting Clarke Hussey Haddin Siddle Pattinson Cummins Lyon ... Would thump India. Cummins injured and already out for first 2 tests.
Raghav_12 Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Watson Warner Marsh Ponting Clarke Hussey Haddin Siddle Pattinson Cummins Harris (if Fit) or Starc/Copeland Lyon ... Would thump India. Cummins is injured out for this tour. Harris is not confirmed as well.
