deathmonger Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 As if the 4-0 and Paki's rape in SA wasn't enough, by this time tomorrow Eng will have lost their first test series ever to NZ and we'll be back to no 2. :dance:
I6MTW Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 And once we whitewash SA we will regain our no 1 status.
deathmonger Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 And once we whitewash SA we will regain our no 1 status. :yay: Not going to happen though. If we win (Big if at that) it will be narrow fighting wins. To win in SA players will have to play out of their skins ala BG 2001 or Ashes 2005.

To win in SA players will have to play out of their skins ala BG 2001 or Ashes 2005. Pakistan with poor batting troubled SA despite being whitewashed 0-3. Once We have Yadav,Aaron,Pathan back in the side with Bhuvi then we will have a deadly bowling lineup. Sachin should retire and Tiwary/Rayudu/Rahane/Rohit(should be given a chance in tests) should take his place. Now we won't have any failures with ball or the bat. We will have a deadly bowling and batting lineup good enough to whitewash SA. Or at least get a 2-1 win.
Number Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Dude first stop this Pakistan this, paki that ... not that I care but you'll get banned again and I don't want that to happen. :P on the topic : looks like MSD's luck keep taking 180 turns. :)

I was banned for calling them terrorists.
ShebbySB Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 We're 6 wkts away from becoming the no.2 in tests.
saneindian Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 If only we hadn't lost to England :(( Also wonder what impact the annual rankings update in August will have on our rank.
ravishingravi Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 :yay::yay: We will become 2nd best test side in the world, right.
deathmonger Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 If only we hadn't lost to England :(( Also wonder what impact the annual rankings update in August will have on our rank. If we had fluked a win or even a draw, Gambhir/Sehwag/Harbhajan would have been still playing. This team would have won Eng series.
Junyfan Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 dream on,WHITEWASH coming up in South Africa,can not Believe after 8-0 pummelling ,feet still in the air metres above the earth.

deathmonger Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 dream on' date='WHITEWASH coming up in South Africa,can not Believe after 8-0 pummelling ,feet still in the air metres above the earth.[/quote'] Like you guys were. LOL. And you have not even won an ODI series against SA. Double LOL We have NEVER been whitewashed in SA. Never. Unlike your pathetic team which has been whitewashed twice there this decade alone (also lost a home series in 2007). Triple LOL. This is what we did last time in SA. Don't know if you can see it coz Youtube is banned in your third world hell hole of a country. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1A63GwX0Qc]Sachin Tendulkar 146 vs South Africa 3rd Test 2010-11 HD - YouTube[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d0DChFERM0]Sreesanth 5 wickets vs South Africa 3rd Test 2010-11 - YouTube[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upYcps4vfpk]VVS Laxman 96 vs South Africa Durban Test, 2011 HD - YouTube[/ame] Don't know why I even responded. Fans of the second best team in the world shouldn't be talking to fans of bottom tier crap like Pakistan,SL etc. Ugh, I feel dirty.

G_B_ Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I think Indian cricket fans need to keep their feet on the ground. Personally i will be extremely happy with a draw in SA. The fact is many players will be playing test cricket in SA for the first time. We have a newish team.

S ahmed and M Sharma, along with either U Yadav or V Aaron can make a deadly combination

Has umesh (if he is fit) played a test in sa? no Has Bhuvi played a test in sa? no Has Shami played a test in sa? no Has Dinda played a test in sa? no Does Ishant have a good test record in sa ? no Has Ashwin played a test in sa? no Has Jadeja played a test in sa ? no We are going into SA with a very inexperienced attack. Last time around we had Zaheer leading the line and also setting fields in the final 2 tests he played which india won 1 and drew another. Without zaheer he was smashed in the first test (though we were unlucky with the toss)

IF you are worried about them not having played in SA, send them on the A tour and also have them play the practice matches in SA before the test series.

Those same experienced players were struggling at home too. Also ZAK may still play in SA, let's see.
