Trichromatic Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 A drawn series would be very good result for this Indian team. Link to comment
Number Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Umesh will never play a single game under Dhoni. Link to comment
Cevno Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 As long as we don't pick this moron. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The whole thing with Yadav is really worrying. It started off with a back sprain where he was supposed to miss one test and has reached a stage where everyone involved is clueless about the injury. Zaheer is finished. Time for him and us to move on. that was not a back strain. Later, it turned out to be a back stress injury which at least takes 4-6 months. Same with which Aaron has suffered. This is the second time Yadav has this injury first before IPL 2009 in SA and he could not play that. Aaron has suffered this 3-4 times already. Link to comment
panther Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 These injuries are vital between age 17-24 so that fast bowlers can increase flexibility and bowl , faster for sustained period. If they occur at 25+ they can be a big problem and may lead to loss of pace. Link to comment
saneindian Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The last para in that TOI story and the overall tone on Umesh Yadav's work schedule is baffling. After the Aus series, he was not picked for Asia Cup, played the IPL, well rested after that for a couple of months, played some ODIs in SL followed by 2 tests vs NZ. Then didnt play the T20s or the T20 WC, had a rest for over a month, played 2-3 T20s in the champions league and then played a test 3 weeks later before being injured. Decent periods of rest there and no 3-4 month period where he bowled continuously. As for the part about him over bowling in the nets, not sure if that ca be true. You listen to Wasim, Waqar, Imran, all talk about how bowling lots of overs in nets helped them get better fitness wise. Link to comment

We always have our excuses ready for our fast bowlers (well medium pacers usually but Umesh is actually quick, for a change). Fact that no Indian pace bowler in the history of cricket has averaged under 29 tell its own story. In most countries an average of 29 is considered nothing special but for us, even our only 3 decent pace bowlers average in the 29-32 range. Link to comment
The Realist Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Even at home Dhoni & co are looking weak in all departments. The Aus squad may be unknown but they will be hungry and up for it, can't really say the same about Team Fletcher/Dhoni. Aus will edge the series. Link to comment
NareshK Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 ^^Our pitches are mostly dead, batting tracks. Nothing in it for seamers. If pitches are like what we had for some of the ODI games recently, then it will be encouraging for seamers. But no chance of that happening as batsmen are idolized in India and people mostly tune in to watch boundaries, sixes and hundreds rather than a good bowling spell. Its also baffling because India will always produce good batsmen. Indians generally have that temperament, concentration and studious nature to become good batsmen. Its the bowlers who have to be encouraged. Link to comment
The Realist Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Every series it is the same story - more bowlers injured than are actually fit. Link to comment

Karan114 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 jadeja is a good pick i would say he is better on current form than ashwin Who isn't, though? :winky: Ashwin has been a joke in recent times. At Test level the irony is that he looks a batsman of genuine talent (better than some of the clowns we have played in the top 6 recently) but his bowling is too gimmicky to trouble good players.

The Aus squad may be unknown but they will be hungry and up for it, can't really say the same about Team Fletcher/Dhoni. Aus will edge the series. This is key. Aussies in recent times have put in some embarrassing batting performances but they always bounce back. E.g. even after that pathetic 47 all out they came back to beat SA in the next game. Srinivasan's boys don't even pretend that their miserable performances bother them one iota - its all about tamasha league cash and Test cricket can go **** itself. On the other hand we have Australia who are whitewashing teams in Test cricket but the ex-players and fans are still laying into the team after a couple of losses. Huge difference in cricketing cultures and no surprise India is in such utter ****. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Bhaji cant agree with you here:--D Link to comment
StatsRock Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 India will win the series but it wont be 4-0. Aus' lack of spinners will be their undoing on these dustbowls. Expect a lot of 3 day finishes. Link to comment
