adi B Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 As a practice for home tests. this takes the cherry :haha:
fineleg Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I didn't expect such pessimism for a team which is 5-0 right now. we have got rid of some serious dead weight and the young guys are playing well and they are hungry' date=' I see a lot of progress.[/quote'] Cbf, U know very well sa, eng are totally diffrnt and 5-0 in india against weak side in indian pitches cannot be used to judge.
cowboysfan Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Cbf, U know very well sa, eng are totally diffrnt and 5-0 in india against weak side in indian pitches cannot be used to judge. I am reasonably confident because i believe we have the pace attack to take 20 wickets now.Shami,bhuvi,zak,yadav and Pandey will form a good core and each brings something different to the table.
Cricketics Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 1-1 in SAF' date=' 1-0 in NZ, 2-1 in Eng[/quote'] Great minds think alike, or similar :) Good to see you.
deathmonger Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 yes.. it would be pathetic but such things do happen with Indian team. But we should remember that only strongest of the Indian teams could win a series in NZ (2009' date=' when we were no 1 in world) otherwise it has been draw or lose. Despite all the success we are getting on home pitches we should not forget that this team is nowhere near in strength to the team that travelled NZ in 2009.[/quote'] Won in the 50s too once
deathmonger Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Actually I think it will be a ripple effect. We do well in SA, we do well everywhere. We don't, we won't do well everywhere.
Vilander Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 guys our all time bests struggled for a few years overseas before turning it around for a couple of years..these guys are traveling as a team for their first tour...
panther Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 1-0 win against kiwis 2-0 loss against saffers 5-0 loss against england
Pagalpanti Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Honestly how exactly do people think we're gonna win in SA? We not only had the best team we toured there last time around but also our batting was in the form of its life and we still managed 1-1. SA are still the same side in fact only better with Philander over Tsotsobe.. I just hope we avoid innings defeats.
GrandMasterSaxy Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I will be watching the Ind Vs NZ matches live :) . Anyone from NZ ? @ topic - Against SA - India have bright chances of winning the series. Against NZ, India will definitely win. Last series was a one sided affair, India winning the ODI/Test series.
carnish Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 ^ i dont think so How will he survive steyn morkel philsnder with hack technique?? Maybe flat pitch to his rescue ... Few drop catches maybe ... I don't know but I have a feeling he will score a 100
Ghost Buster Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 SA tests we cant even expect a draw if it rains, usually its a 3day game for them. Nz we can win but cant take them lightly at home. Eng 3-0 in favour of home team.
GoldenSun Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 All I want to see is some good fight by us unlike those dark times of 2011-12. I just don't want to see India go down pathetically like last time we went on a great world tour. Give me something to be proud of.
putrevus Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 These young guys will do far better as a batting unit than some of their overrated predecessors who by default lost first test most of the tours and spent rest of tour catching up if things broke right they ended drawing series and came home as if they have conquered world. These guys even if they fail on first attempt will still end up better than previous bunch who took ages to come good and still ended up losing much more than they ever won.
coffee_rules Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Bump. Time to revise your predictions after the ODI series. I don't think India will win/draw even 1 test in SA.
Laaloo Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 1-1 in SA 1-0 NZ 1-3 England After Dhoni's pathetic and inept captaincy, I have been forced to change my predictions: 0-2 in SA 1-0 NZ 1-3 England
Cricketics Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Bump. Time to revise your predictions after the ODI series. I don't think India will win/draw even 1 test in SA. HMM. Batsman have set themselves now up. Other than Pujar, all of them have played atleast couple of knocks. So i believe the probability should get better here for winning a game. I am hoping our top 6 score atleast 250 between them. And the bottom five can add atleast 75 runs between them. We should be good then.
