That, in case anyone was actually fooled otherwise, was an obscenly sarcastic and blatantly obvious troll post.

What happened in the WC? We lost a one day match. Correction, Shaun Tait lost a one day match. We'll be fine in tests given the quality of the bowling we'll be facing. Pfft GDP yadda yadda, I assume that means you can keep on churning out stick figures who barely hit 130kph and batsmen with the mental fortitude of an earthworm.

Spinners who crush Aussies at home. (Bhajji,Amit Mishra) Mediocre batsmen who hit centuries against australia at home. (Murali Vijay, Nayan Mongia) You won't be fine, dearie. Australian bowlers are nothing special. Taking wickets against a team weak against pace ar home is like spinners taking English wickets at home. Useless. We saw what Australian bowling did against a team good against fast bowling in the Ashes.

They didn't exactly win either. Which shows that their bowling attack didn't perform. That just defeated your own point, as 0-0 clearly shows that the bowling attack wasn't doing well.

those pitches sucked. even your chuckmal avgd bad.

He's using it as Saffer attack > England attack argument which is just retarded beyond belief? 0-0 says nothing about the relative bowling attacks.

Yes but Saffer bowling attack has done well elsewhere. Saffers have done well in India something the English haven't done. And these were in similar conditions/climate/pitches. Unlike UAE.

England also performed in Australia and Sri Lanka, even better than the SA counterparts. And no, the Saffer's didnt do well in India. Dale Steyn did well in india. Morkel was fodder.

SA haven't been to SL for a long long time (At least not this attack).

On a scale of 1 to 10 South Africa 8 England 7 Australia 6 Pakistan 5 (in spin conditions it would become 8) Windies 5 New zealand 5 India 4 3 SL 3 Bangladesh 3

Agree with all of your ratings. Most decent assesment except India part. I believe that our bowling is no better than Bongs... Infact if you make a team off Bong batsmen and Indian Bowlers then our bowlers might even go lower than existing Bong bowlers. No point on chest thumping with the name likes Yadav and Zaheer. They never play.

:hmmm: England (Good fast bowlers and two decent spinners) SA (Very good fast bowlers) Pakistan (Very good spin attack and half decent fast bowling attack) Australia (Good fast bowlers) WI (Decent pacers and one spinner) NZ (Decent pacers) India (Umesh and Zaheer are only decent pacers and Zaheer doesn't play many matches, spin department is good) Bangladesh (close to India, decent spinners).

Monte is decent? :giggle:

Looks more than decent. Outbowled everyone so far.
