Australia Tour of India 2013 |Feb-Mar|

[Number]

Forget England tour - Vijay looked much better than Gambhir's innings against the touring Kiwis in India.

I was talking about 2011 England tour. :giggle:

[Lord]

And if you break the sessions - Session 1 - 49 runs Session 2 - 106 runs Session 3 - 151 runs Both Vijay and Rahane just gave a lesson to the Australians in Test match batting.

:fail:

[Lord]

Laxman and Dravid in 2001 in Calcutta - that was against a much superior Aussie attack.

and following on too:hatsoff:

So was I.

[Yoda-esque]

Vijay will finish his own career first

[kubrickian]

I dont think Sehwag will be back. He has completely lost it. His body language shows he has no confidence. This is a reasonably good batting track and he couldnt even score 50 here.

[urbestfriend]

I am still not convinced about Vijay, he is either defensive or uses predetermined shots to score runs..Kind of good pitch player. At best , he could be successful in home conditions but failure in non-sc pitches.

Murli vijay wasim jaffer pujara sachin kohli rohit sharma dhoni ashwin jadega bhuvnesh ojha dhawan rahane bhajji shami ahmed

[Sidhoni]

Shami and Pankaj in, Ishant and Dinda out. Jaffer for Sehwag maybe.

[Vivek.S.123]

Selectors are going to pick the same squad :facepalm:

Just can't compare the two! That was totally different.

[kubrickian]

:agree: Settled combination. :hysterical:

[philcric]

19 and college student :finger:

Haha. Fair enough.

[Lord]

Sehwag is gonna get dropped

[Old guy]

I am still not convinced about Vijay' date=' he is either defensive or uses predetermined shots to score runs..Kind of good pitch player. At best , he could be successful in home conditions but failure in non-sc pitches.[/quote'] Right now even being good at home is good enough

[vvvslaxman]

His backfoot game has a long way to go.

[namasteji1]

Atleast Vijay showed determination to occupy crease and grind it out rather than poking at balls outside offstump unlike Gambhir "G". :haha:

Pitches in England and Australia are not minefields. They usually are good batting tracks with consistent bounce and pace. There tends to be some movement with the new ball and when there is cloud cover but actually they are better for batting than Indian pitches which deteriorate by 2nd day itself and ball doesnt come on to bat for playing shots because of slowness of the wicket and where there is variation in bounce. Indian batsmen just didnt apply themselves and didnt work hard enough to score runs in recent Eng and Aus tours. In those same conditions, they scored tons of runs in their previous tours.

Kolkata 2001 comes to mind. Start of day 4 India 254/4, end of day 4 India 589/4
