Number Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 it was a patta maybe 350 would have been hard but these guys with confidence they have right now would have done better . we were very bad chasers before chappel became coach anything over 270 would have been hard for us Had good bounce not much lateral movement. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvkqxADV1HA]India Vs Australia World Cup FINAL 2003 Zaheer Khan First Over Ball by Ball - YouTube[/ame] look at the bounce, Dravid is collecting everything at throat height. Enough for Lee and McGrath to eat Dhoni alive. Link to comment

India Vs Australia World Cup FINAL 2003 Zaheer Khan First Over Ball by Ball - YouTube look at the bounce, Dravid is collecting everything at throat height. Enough for Lee and McGrath to eat Dhoni alive. which is even better for batsmen.. bounce if consistent makes shots easy..will never forgot how ponting was creaming sixes.. Link to comment
Old guy Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 some one like kohli would love this track.. even rohit will love batting here Link to comment
Laaloo Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 McGrath would have eaten Kohli alive. Would have been no contest. Flat track or no track Link to comment
Ibes Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Instead of Ganguly's in your face, Dhoni's calmness would've settled the bowlers. Hogg + Symonds would've gotten smashed. Link to comment
Lord Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 that was special knock by sachin and also it was not final these guys today dont care about occasion .. i think they would have given it a fair fight.. I dont we were nervous because it was final,but because Aussies used to be so dominant.Theres no team like that today hence our guys are more confident. If we faced any other team in final,I'm pretty sure we'd have won.I rate that campaign better than 2011 one in terms of quality. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 McGrath would have eaten Kohli alive. Would have been no contest. Flat track or no track India scored 231 runs under 40 overs. Mcgrath was eaten alive by VIru and Ganguly atleast in one over. 2 slapped sixes. That was a patta wicket. Link to comment

Anyone with a good cricketing acumen would rate 2003 campaign above 2011 WC. In 2011, we were pretty much guaranteed a quarter final spot and we had to win 2 knock out games to get to the final. Whereas in 2003, bowling attacks were good as well the overall standard was higher. Link to comment

Number Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 some one like kohli would love this track.. even rohit will love batting here come on yaar, good bounce doesn't always mean good for batting. An accurate bowler will be nightmare on a bouncy pitch as he will never allow you to come on the front-foot and sitting back you will be vulnerable to fuller length ball. Our bowlers were all over the place once Gilchrist went after them. Link to comment
Laaloo Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 nah only sachin chokes not kohli Life is a great leveler. Kohli ka din bhi aayega. tu abhi aish kar :two_thumbs_up: Link to comment

That was a patta wicket. I never said he wasn't. But Mcgrath knows how to plan dismissals. You think Kohli would have scored a lot of McGrath? lol Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 against McGrath and Lee' date='would have still been tough:(([/quote'] I have never ever seen an Indian batsman with such self belief ( bar Dhoni) in run chases . Even today's match if you take out Kohli India would have been rolled over with Dhoni left standing. Even in the previous match or the match against Paksitan or the Srilanka. As he described later he considers knowing a target in advance is easier for him something most batsmen would beg to differ with. In that way he is very different both in terms of attitude and approach while chasing. So it was very much possible. Link to comment

Old guy Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 so does Sachin :--D cos of dhoni and gambo who dont choke in finals :--D Link to comment
Laaloo Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 cos of dhoni and gambo who dont choke in finals :--D well kohli ne bhi final mein kuch nahi kiya tha aur Sachin was hands down bigger than Kohli in the WC Link to comment
