India's Tour to South Africa, 2013

[Old guy]

stuart binny :cantstop: or you can include Baba Aparajith as opener ( he can bowl the offies that Ashwin bowls). Include a seamer .

Too young And too mediocre :giggle:

Stuart Binny's dad was a handy batsman. He could even open. Also Madanlal could bat a bit. Even Sandhu could bat. Among the seamers we have Irfan is definitely the best batsman. New century maker Vinay kumar :giggle:

Hope Dhoni doesn't read this...Else we will get Raina back or Kohli will get a spell tommorow

I would just play 4 seamers cos number 6 batsman is coming in handy But ash win is better than dhoni so there is that :hysterical:

Yup Today another one (Jack sa commie) joins the list of comparing Ashwin with Laxman. He definitely has the technique of a top order batsman. The thing is he is not one of those guys who would block block more block. He scores quickly.

Add A wrist spinner who bowls well outside India, consistent openers,

Add A wrist spinner who bowls well outside India' date=' consistent openers,[/quote'] Rare commodity in India. They are all half baked leg spinners. But definitely better than Tahir. I would try that chinaman bowler Kuldeep.

Rather than trying to find a non existent batting all rounder, better to ensure we take all our catches and convert half chances into wickets. Will reduce the burden of our pacers outside SC.

I still think I.Pathan is better than Jaddu

jadeja is better bowler, fielder and batsman. Apart from that its close

[maniac]

jadeja is better bowler' date=' fielder[b'] and batsman. Apart from that its close

If you are not counting the 300*s on cement tracks,internationally I have seen Pathan play better cameos at both test and ODI level...I will back Irfan than Jaddu with the 50 needed from 23 balls kind of situations. Fielding I agree....it's a no contest. Bowling Irfan is better than Jaddu,Infact with him able to open the bowling,he brings more balance then Jaddu can.

Rear-guard batting exploits (against India) that have annoyed you the most Rear-guard batting exploits (against India) that have annoyed you the most - Tests (odis ok too if you want to include) One that I cannot forget and it annoyed me no end :angry_smile: http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/146065.html http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64125.html Pakistan 312 (Kamal 91, Balaji 5-76) and 496 for 9 dec (Akmal 109, Inzamam 86, Razzaq 71, Youhana 68) drew with India 516 (Sehwag 173, Tendulkar 94, Kaneria 6-150) and 85 for 1 :angry_smile:

[fineleg]

And this - how could we lose this after IKP hat-trick? http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/234783.html Again - Kakmal!!!! rear guard in the first inn. I am hoping Faf and Philander get the hell out soon.

Jason Gillespie cost us a couple of tests with his batting.

[punjabi_khota]

Your long titles annoy me more :protest:

[fineleg]

Kota punjabi - howz u dude?

[maniac]

I think philandering will make a 100 All odds point to that India's traditional Achilles heel against the tail Philanders reputation as an allrounder Usually lower middle order batsmen do well against us akmal, razzaq, kluesner, Bresnan, starc etc Easier conditions If I was a gambler I would have my money on that

[maniac]

Damn u auto correct :hysterical:

[GrandMasterSaxy]

trolling ?? :) He will be out in first 3 overs...
