Lord Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 England have a new opener' date=' new no 6, and other than Anderson and Swann, other two bowlers keep changing depending on form and conditions. (Broad, Panesar, Bresnan, Finn etc)[/quote'] Alviro Petersen isnt that established imo,Root seems good.yeah thier bowlers change according to the conditions,which means they have the options
Number Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 We are talking about balanced and not the better side....English conditions suited SA....Man-to-Man S.A is ahead but in terms of resources in all departments England seems to have the edge Pace bowing - SA ahead. Spin bowling - England ahead. Batting against pace - SA ahead. Batting against spin - SA ahead. So it's 3-1. Although I admit they depend a lot on Amla and Steyn.
vandokkum Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Alviro Petersen isnt that established imo' date='Root seems good.yeah thier bowlers change according to the conditions,which means they have the options[/quote'] Not that established with 5 test hundreds in 20 matches? That's pretty good for an opener, he has been our first choice opener for a couple of years now.
Trichromatic Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 SA easily is more balanced. Their pacers can be better than any decent spinner is spin-friendly conditions. :dontknow:
Clarke Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Best: SA Balanced: Eng Settled: India (as long as u have the blessings of Srinivasan & Dhoni, its like a govt job)

Jersey #10 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 newzealand is the most settled balanced team at the moment. If I were bangladesh, i'd schedule a 7 test series with nz right about now.
Utalk Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Pakistan are a very settled side. Openers have not missed a game since OCT 2010. Azhar YK Misbah and Shafiq are settled and only YK missed couple of test due to family bereavement. Gul has played every game. Ajmal missed one test. Rehman has played every game.
VRV Singh Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Well I am not sure you can call south Africa completely settled until their wicketkeeping issue is solid. I did not expect de villiers to still have the gloves now, and I think their selectors were all set to pick tsolikile until very recently. I would look to free de villiers from that responsibility personally.
Old guy Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 wow those numbers are surprisingly good:omg: was actually going to create thread on him he is really really underrated ..infact when smith failed he carried on many times and actually threw away 1-2 innings in australia after giving solid start and in england how can u forget his innings in 2nd test :whack:
bangladeshifan Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 ^No Good spinners yet...I still think it is England but but how come 'A' team more balanced than main team?
gaurav92 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 South Africa followed by England and Australia.
Lord Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 was actually going to create thread on him he is really really underrated ..infact when smith failed he carried on many times and actually threw away 1-2 innings in australia after giving solid start and in england how can u forget his innings in 2nd test :whack: that was only one I remembered.The Peterson match,KP got wicket n runs,AP got runs:cantstop:
Raghav_12 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Being settled is not good thing always for a team. India cricket team continued to remain settled long after they should have stopped being so because of continous losses. This "settled" thing caused real damage for team. They still have a settled captain who wants to remain settled for few more years.
