Trichromatic Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 This is missing from our test team. Lack of an aggressive wicket taker. No wonder people find it easy to rack up huge scores against us in test cricket now. Maybe we should take leave of absence like how Zimbabwe after Sanga and Jaya found it so easy against them. Look at Clarke's innings v us in Aus. When he is back SA may have Steyn, England may have Anderson e.t.c but we will have a class bowler too. India's win loss ratio with Sreesanth : 1.25 without Sreesanth : 1.45

And he has helped the team enough due to his bowling performances.
EnterTheVoid Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 he looks like a recovering drug addict. Looks like he's put on a few kilos in his 'recovery process'
Dravid_TheWall Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 We already have a class bowler in Zak. And he has helped the team enough due to his bowling performances. He had a purple patch for a few years and now on decline and also injury prone. He remains good for tests but not so much for LOI. A real go to man is an attacking warrior in all 3 formats.

Aggressive wicket taker who averages 37 in tests and FC cricket.
CG Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Aggressive wicket taker who averages 37 in tests and FC cricket. He has had 2 bad years he used to average 29-30.his problem has been fitness.
Trichromatic Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 He has had 2 bad years he used to average 29-30.his problem has been fitness. Just for 7-8 matches.
CG Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Just for 7-8 matches. here are his stats till 2010 note he played only top teams and also in india , Span Mat Runs HS Bat Av 100 Wkts BBI Bowl Av 5 Ct St unfiltered 2006-2011 27 281 35 10.40 0 87 5/40 37.59 3 5 0 Profile filtered 2006-2010 17 226 35 13.29 0 60 5/40 32.01 2 2 0 A average of 32 is good ,instead of bringing in down it has gone haywire ,its been sad.
Dravid_TheWall Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 He has hardly played tests consistently and in a few matches it will be back down to what it was- Late 20's. In reality he should be able to average mid 20's talent wise despite modern flat pitches. But due to the rough time he has had I think he will still be able to average low 20's or early 30's. Better than our other bowlers like Ishant closing in on 40 after so many tests and likes of VK, Dinda, Mithun who would struggle to average below 45 I think. LOL.

Low 20s from 21 to early 30s 34. That's like a window of 14 steps. I can be a Bejan Daruwaala too! :woot:

CG Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Average of 32 is good? yeah considering he played agianst top sides and few matche in india on flat tracks.
Cricket Tragic Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Sorry but that's not a good average under any circumstances. He was good for the first 10 matches or so but he's been rubbish since then.
Dravid_TheWall Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 ^ All are other bowlers are trying to beat each other to average close to 50.

Dravid_TheWall Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 Amazing performance by Sree from 3:30 onwards, good to see some lovely comments. He has truly shown his talent extends far beyond cricket, genuine celebrity and spritual leader. Could VVS do this. Ok bad example due to his bad knees and spine but could Tindu? Or anyone else? Could anyone else have the crowd so attentive and in awe?
