Bad feeling: Aus under Clarke will whitewash India in India

[indiefan]

Forget Australia, I am thinking about Pakistan spinners who destroyed England.

[indiaregulator]

Just like our team stop underestimating other teams & players. We'll do fine. Lyone is way better than Samit Patel who got a fifer against us

[King Tendulkar]

OP go jump of the nearest building please and please take some of your mates with you please!

[SLICKR392]

Jeetan Patel* Lot of Patels nowadays. :cantstop:

[Rohit S. Ambani]

Doesn't seem now, they are on verge of losing series at home. But you never know, Dhoni is one very arrogant man, such people get owned because cricket is a great leveler.

[Lord]

No they wont. England was always going to be a threat with swann and panesar. Lyon :hysterical:

Lyon outbowled Ashwin on dead Aussie tracks,surely he'll outbowl him in India.though they need a second spinner to compete.Doherty?

But you never know, Dhoni is one very arrogant man, such people get owned because cricket is a great leveler.[/quote'] Losing to SA in a series where they were on top most of the time doesn't mean much for India tour. 2 amazing in-form batsmen (Clarke-Hussey) Destructive opener who'll fire in at least 1 test. Better pacers and decent spinner.

+1. OP seems to be very fickle minded with most of his analysis bar criticizing Dhoni. On a different note though, Clarke looked a bit out of sorts on the field today when Smith and Amla were going berserk. Had defensive fields and could not put a lid on scoring at all.

He will soon experience it more often.

Amen :winky:

So, Clarke loses his first series as captain and that too at home. Just strengthens the fact that a captain is as good as his team and how well the team responds.

losing to no.1 team after dominating better part of the series,that too with a depleted team isnt that bad tbh

[Debutant]

Too fickle. Australia may win the test series in India but a whitewash is very unlikely.

+1 Captains are given too much credit for the team. I always felt that captains are only as good as the team.

[vamos_rafa]

losing to no.1 team after dominating better part of the series' date='that too with a depleted team isnt that bad tbh[/quote'] It's not about winning the battles, it's about winning the war. They might well have dominated but when the clutch moments came SA were the better team. All that I wanted to say was that captain is as good as a team.

not necessarily,a good captain can turn a decent team into winning one by his tactics n inspirational performance while a bad one can turn a team of stars into a mess

not necessarily' date='a good captain can turn a decent team into winning one by his tactics n inspirational performance while a bad one can turn a team of stars into a mess[/quote'] OR a decent team can up with an inspirational performance and turn a bad team into a decent one! :winky: The way you say it looks wonderful to read as a story but if you have extensive experience of "team work" (irrespective of sports or any other type of team) you will understand what I'm trying to say. An individual may win a game once or twice but over an extended period of time this is hardly important.

:hysterical: at this thread.

[Trichromatic]

btw why doesn't anyone use any word other than whitewash these days? :dontknow: England and Aus whitewashed us, so we will whitewash them. Our team is weak, so they will whitewash at home. wth. Is there no other possible result?

[namasteji1]

^^Lol, agree with you, everyone seems to react in extreme fashion these days and also do not realize that they end up looking fools. India got whitewashed on away tours but that doesn't mean that every series will have a whitewash result only.
