Why are we struggling against spin lately?


Recommended Posts

No very few spinners in ranji,what we see from Indian spinners in recent times is that they look to put the ball rather than giving it revs,others are either decent at best or inconsistent,this is the reason,ashwin and ojha are struggling for that matter,what we are missing is a classical off like say a rasool,abbe pehle apna pehla to theek se daal,doosra,teesra baad mien daalna,I would like to see rasool in this setup,any leg spinner in domestic setup does anybody know.

We were best when we had the likes of Sehwag, RD, Lax, old Sachin.. Only Chepu plays spin pretty well in the current line up, Kohli & Rohit will get there, they're still new.

Not able to watch the game....is Shilly spinning at speed like Panesar? I remember Dhoni saying that Monty's speed was the problem back them. At any rate we seem to have a problem- never thought I'd see a day when that would be with spin.

Shillingford is a quality spinner. Our batsman seems to have taken him for granted and paid the price for it.
Vijay's wicket was a gift, Tendu was a bit unlucky. Kohli i don't expect him to strugge against him anymore. He was the best against Ajmal, Mendis in the very first outing. Also good against Narine. So no reason to struggle against this guy.

True But if he had not wandered out of the crease he would not have been stumped. I am pretty sure he wanted to take him on. Right after Dhawans wicket that was needless. He showed immense restraint against Aussies. Hope he continues that.

I thought we were the best players of spin? :((
If we get out to the spinners, we are bad against spin and if we get out to Best/Cottrill, we are bad against speed. No escape!

No. Shillingford was getting big turn and zip off the track at that time and he just wanted to negate that by getting to the pitch, but I doubt any of our batsmen had seen him before and knew he could bowl doosra. No one early on could read his doosra. SRT also misread the doosra. Vijay was not trying to hit him.

I knew he was a good bowler and could trouble Indian batsmen on turning tracks as he had doosra too. They should still be very cautious against him though better prepared than last match. Wankhede pitch will offer more bounce and quick turn than Eden.
