FischerTal Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Same batsmen thrashed South Africans everywhere on a green tinged bouncy track under overcast conditions in CT in England. this is a much better bowling lineup with the aussies. only morkel was a threat in that match.
rkt.india Posted October 15, 2013 Author Posted October 15, 2013 Sometimes we lose perspective in the heat of the moment. Johnson when in rythm and conditions assist him a bit can be a handful against any side. Remember how bowled at Perth against England http://www.espncricinfo.com/the-ashes-2010-11/engine/match/428751.html He took 4 for 7 in a short burst in this test. He is wayward. When he gets it right he can be a handful. He troubled Dravid consistently with his away going delivery This was his first match against India http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/256608.html Same guy was clobbered all over by Dhoni and Raina in this match http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/416237.html Johnson has improved since then a lot when he was dropped. He worked on his runup and release and has gained few extra yards of pace due to that.
vvvslaxman Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Johnson has improved since then a lot when he was dropped. He worked on his runup and release and has gained few extra yards of pace due to that. Watson has also improved a lot. So has Mckay. Doherty does a decent support job. Faulkner is not bad either. IN other words there is no buffet bowler in their side.
rkt.india Posted October 15, 2013 Author Posted October 15, 2013 Watson has also improved a lot. So has Mckay. Doherty does a decent support job. Faulkner is not bad either. IN other words there is no buffet bowler in their side. Better bowling side can always extract tiniest bit of help that is there. Under lights, ball always move more than natural light. Mckay has always been a good new ball bowler. He hits that three-quarter length and also gets bounce due to being fairly tall and can seam the odd ball in and out. He stays patient and does not to to be overly aggressive in his length or give driving length. This is what he did in first ODI. Our bowlers too bowled decently for 6 overs, especially BK But when he did not get wicket, he pitched the ball a bit too full and Finch made full use of that as there was not much swing but seam if you bowled back of a length and then after that they bowled too short.
vvvslaxman Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I still expect India to come very hard at them on a slightly flatter surface. Say what you want, this is a darn good ODI batting line up.
Laaloo Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Same batsmen thrashed South Africans everywhere on a green tinged bouncy track under overcast conditions in CT in England. Well it happens every once in a while :((
jusarrived Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Seriously overrating MJ here . He has little going for him but for pace . I expect him to get trashed around in the next ODI's
jusarrived Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 if you ask me the biggest threat in the OZ bowling linup , its shane watson ... for a 5th bowler , he just too good . Very very underrated , infact his wicket of Virat changed the match in Aus favour .
Number Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Seriously overrating MJ here . He has little going for him but for pace . I expect him to get trashed around in the next ODI's He is a very underrrated ODI bowler. Even in 2009 series, he caused serious troubles for all our batsmen.
Forever Indian Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Seriously overrating MJ here . He has little going for him but for pace . I expect him to get trashed around in the next ODI's + 1 As what happened in Champions League
CG Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Indian batsman like most countries will struggle when pitch is lively against good bowling attacks.Even in CT our spinners bowled extremely well,we are too dependant on spinners.We have no death bowler,No strike bowler.We need to give few young bowlers chance be it unadkat or shami or suyal,aaron,shukla,punjab lad.
CG Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 + 1 As what happened in Champions League Johnson has been a gun odi bowler ,forget idiotic IPL AND CT cricket.
Forever Indian Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Johnson has been a gun odi bowler ' date='forget idiotic IPL AND CT cricket.[/quote'] I agree he is a good ODI bowler, but nothing that our batsmen haven't come across. Malinga is even a better ODI bowler, but we know the way he has been handled by Indians. A two-trick pony can be easily handled once you know what those two tricks are. Unless he can get some serious movement off the pitch I think our batsmen will be able to negate his threat. Our batsmen got too bogged down in the 1st ODI against him. Once we start scoring against him he will be back to being erratic.
King Tendulkar Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 ^ He was clocking numerous balls at 95 mph. Not gonna be easy
rkt.india Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 Seriously overrating MJ here . He has little going for him but for pace . I expect him to get trashed around in the next ODI's He has 25 wickets in 15 ODIs against India in India averaging 26. Overall 35 wickets in 22 matches against us.

Malinga is diff and with out reverse swing due to new rule his potency has reduced.Johnson always has been a handful in odis due to his line which goes away at pace.
rkt.india Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 Phil Hughes shaken by Mitchell Johnson's 'lightning' WICKET-KEEPING is a chancy occupation at the best of times but it was downright dangerous on Sunday night in Pune. First Brad Haddin was forced from the field after being accidentally poked in the eye by an exuberant James Faulkner. Then Phil Hughes, pressed into service for Haddin, feared he would wear a Mitchell Johnson thunderbolt between the eyes, such was the quick's extreme pace. Consistently operating above the 150km/h benchmark for express speed, Johnson confounded the Indian batsmen to be the bulwark of Australia's successful defence. Sure, Clint McKay (2-36) and Shane Watson (2-31) finished with better numbers than Johnson (1-38 from 10), but he set the tone and dismissed Yuvraj Singh an over after the dangerous left-hander hoisted Faulkner over the square-leg boundary. Johnson struck when Yuvraj edged a catch to Hughes behind the stumps after being squared up by a brute of a short ball. Johnson's ODI success has given weight to calls he should return for next month's Ashes. For a man so maligned for his inconsistency, mostly of line and length, Johnson is now basking in a sustained run of good form to match his consistency of pace. "He was lightning," Hughes said yesterday in Jaipur ahead of tonight's second match of the seven-game series. "I was actually quite nervous keeping to Mitch at that pace. I was lucky enough to not let a few through . . . it was nice to get a few in the gloves. "(But) I was very happy to hand them back. "Especially when you've got Mitch Johnson bowling over 150 clicks. "I've done a little bit of keeping when I was younger, in junior cricket, but to keep out there it's definitely different when you've got guys bowling at 150 kays." Yes, Hughes is only a part-time gloveman, but his comments mirror those of Matthew Wade in the recent ODI series in England. To paraphrase, no Australian is faster than Johnson. Johnson said recently that even he was surprised by how fast he was bowling. If he could pin it on anything, perhaps it was better rhythm generated from a slightly longer run-up. He is also standing taller in his action, which he attributed to greater strength in his legs. Whatever the reason, his form, and the long list of sidelined Australian fast bowlers, have shortened his odds of playing in the first Test at the Gabba on November 21. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/cricket/phil-hughes-shaken-by-mitchell-johnsons-lightning/story-e6frg7rx-1226740561929
