Are we gonna win the CB series?

[Pagalpanti]

Though we're a good side but most of the batsmen are out of form and without Yuvraj our middle order is weak. We might reach final as SL suck more right now but I doubt we'll win.

true with the test side. not with the odi side. dhoni, rohit, virat, gambo, raina, tendu(?) are all in form. rohit can do yuvi's job.

[Old guy]

we dont really depend on yuvraj for winning specially not here in australia and we got rohit now.. lets hope he performs

[Cricket Tragic]

Don't worry .. we are bowling only once in these tests. So it has been only one test match for Zaheer and Yadav in the last 2 with plenty of rest between. :giggle:

:--D

[Adeel]

better chance than this series. all odi series we've played since 2007 wc we've been competetive. also dhoni and raina turn into supermen in blue.

Why not in whites? Where it matters most, though he's my favorite young Indian cricketer.

[Number]

Why not in whites? Where it matters most' date=' though he's my favorite young Indian cricketer.[/quote'] can be a good in tests but only in SC. He has serious problems against short ball.

[nitinbwj]

in ODI's dhoni would be back to his hitting ways..he has just mastered this format

[PSB_Zone]

sachin sehwag gambhir kohli shrma dhoni pathan jadega ashwin praveen zaheer Cant think of the better playing x1 frm the squad India should never risk 7 batsman and four bowlers pathan,ashwin,jadega,praveen all can bat.. May be in raina in place of gambhir in some matches or play yadav in place pathan/jadega..deping on the pitch

How someone like Suresh Raina cope with this short ball problem?

[deathmonger]

How someone like Suresh Raina cope with this short ball problem?

through toughness like waugh and ganguly?

[PSB_Zone]

:--D

also first two test complete in 3.5 days each n this one 2.5 so only 9.5 days of cricket..Less then two test matches.. world should learn frm team india to invent rest days :haha:

Hain! Dada was awful against short stuff!

[Dravid_TheWall]

Hain! Dada was awful against short stuff!

He knew how to cope that is all that matters. He could nudge it for 1 for duck safely more often than not.

Skipper saved almost 6 days for Sub-Continent and still banned. :sniffle:

that's what i'm saying. should be able to survive it like waugh or dada did. both steve waugh and dada sucked against short pitched bowling.

I don't know why but against Pakistan no one tries short pitch stuff as much as these gori teams tried against India.

??? short pitch stuff was tried only against Raina. All others have got full swinging deliveries. Dravid, SRT, Kohli, Laxman are very good against short bowling.

[Aussie-r-best]

I'll keep it simple - NO

[chainsmoker1985]

Better selection could have made it possible but now i doubt us even reaching the finals

[maniac]

Lol at People taking SL lightly here....Just wait till the likes of Pathan,VK,PK,Jaddu start bowling to their batsmen,they will start looking like world beaters once again
