Zaheer, Ishant, Yadav and Ashwn : Indian bowling a FORCE TO RECKON WITH

[Old guy]

come on guys ishant was probably our best bowler in this game did ya watch the test? dont go by numbers when autraia were murdering us in first innings who pulled the momentum back? broad wasnt even doing this! he bowled beautifully in this match and was actually unlucky.. he got clarke today there inform batsman he is much better then pk..

What ? We are screwed man, no way we are getting 250 on this track. But yeah, good job by the bowlers. Only if we had a better middle order

after tomorrow.. you will add to to the exception lists... if you claim like that it would be the same with everyone in indian lineup barring laxman... tell me anyone who performed during a chase barring exceptions in the indian lineup except lax???

While I partially agree with you, there are a few things that we should also bear in mind. India got the best of conditions. I think it would be an understatement to say that the batsmen would have struggled on day 1 . Australian team is without cummins, Watson, Johnson who would have been in their xi and would have made the team stronger. This is India's best line up apart from Kohli maybe. So all in all, after the second day I was expecting India to be all over Australia, but the Australian team has shown great resolve.

.....BCCI needs to look at MSD's position in the test team

are you kidding me?? the guy has a legion of fans. he is the highest earning indian cricketer, makes even mroe than tendulkar. a shitload of endorsements. replays of his limited overs exploits play on tv non-stop and are ingrained in the minds of the millions of numbnut indian fans. hell will freeze over before dhoni gets dropped.

i feel so sorry for zaheer, ishant, umesh and ashwin. theyy worked as hard as they could to keep india in this game. they fought off the injuries, they trained hard and came back to dismiss australia twice and put the team in a position to win. all the good work outdone by imbecile slip fielders like dravid, inept captains like dhoni and some careless batting.

Zaheer, Ishant and Yadav can form India's best pace attack: Lawson Melbourne: Former Australia fast bowler Geoff Lawson feels that the trio of Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav can potentially end up as India's best pace attack ever. "I saw Umesh bowl during the IPL for Delhi Daredevils against us (when Lawson was coach of the now defunct Kochi Tuskers Kerala). "I always wanted to see him bowl with a Kookaburra ball here in Australia -- on bouncy pitches. It's nice to see that he's figured out the exact length to bowl here. He's got raw pace and doesn't get carried away. For a guy on his first tour to Australia, he has shown a lot of maturity. Good on him." "And Ishant too has really come of age. Today, he clocked 150 kmph and with the perfect length. I definitely feel that this trio of Ishant, Zaheer and Umesh can potentially be one of India's best pace attacks of all time. Only thing is that Zaheer could be on his last legs. But I like the look of Varun Aaron too. Once Zaheer is gone, Aaron could prove a handy replacement," Lawson told MiD DAY. India opener Virender Sehwag agreed with Lawson. "Definitely, this is the best bowling attack I have ever played with," he told reporters during the post-match media briefing. Ben Hilfenhaus, who spearheaded India's collapse yesterday with a five-wicket haul, had reportedly trained with a few Australian Football League (AFL) players after being dumped from Australia's Test squad following last year's Ashes series. Hilfenhaus has come back a stronger and faster bowler from a career-threatening knee surgery. "I am not sure if Hilfenhaus going and training with AFL guys has done him that much good. It's purely a case of him recovering from a bad knee injury. Hilfenhaus on top "He's definitely put on a couple of yards of pace, and has got that swing going both ways. I don't think Ryan Harris can return to the side unless he plays a few games. "Hilfenhaus could lead this attack going into the Test series. I have to give it to this pace-attack of Australia. Not too many gave them a chance before the start of the Test, but they have done brilliantly," said Lawson. http://sports.ndtv.com/ind-aus-2011/news/item/183142-zaheer-ishant-and-yadav-can-form-indias-best-pace-attack-lawson

Too bad our batting has turned to crap just when we had got rid of the trundlers.

[asterix]

Our batting is at the crossroads..can't be bothered about the bowling department. We are also, systyematically, not creating confident second string opf leaders. Not a single young player has been groomed to take up the captaincy (if the need arises).
