Is India's tail the worst in the world?

[asterix]

Dhoni has been the culprit. His dismissal invariably leads to a collapse. And the sad part is he's into double figures nearly every time' date=' gets to 15-20 and then gets out.[/quote'] THIS...

[maniac]

Yes it is....Zak wit all that experience plays like a blind slogger :facepalm:

[fineleg]

Jaddu, nohit and msd are the bigger problem to be fixed, tail is tail

[vvvslaxman]

Hope they come to sense the push Rahane up the order and push Rohit down the order so that all overseas clowns can stick together.

Ashwin is a better test bat than Mr 300 !

Ashwin is a better test bat than Mr 300 !

Some people are mentioning him to be better than our Mr. no 5 overseas. That way we could have even one extra bowler too.

[The Realist]

No excuse for not being to block out and at least use up time especially as they all play in ODIs and T20s but they all look like rabbits out there.

This is why Ashwin is so important ..probably the best spinner too.

Steyn and Morkel will dismiss any tail in the world cheaply in their home conditions. Most proper batsmen struggle against them. What hope can the tail have ?

yes ashwin would have been so important with bat. Could have got 400 if he got in with rahane Our tail is truly awful SA tail is non existent, we will struggle to get them out

"Indian tailenders are FTBs" - Cullinan

this was a good Flat track. To collapse for 334 on this pitch is a very poor performance. Murli , Pujara ,Rahane & kohli are the only batsmen performing.

Mitchell Johnson averages 71 in SA

Mitchell Johnson averages 71 in SA

One batsmen. How much do Siddle, Harris or Hilfenhaus average ? Or Broad, Anderson, Bresnan for that matter ? Also these are conditions England and Australia are familiar with because they play on such tracks at home. How often do Indian tailenders play in conditions like these ?

[King Tendulkar]

Dont care what others tails have done You can see with cricket eyes how bad our tail is, some of them barely know how to hold the bat:cantstop:

[King Tendulkar]

Problem is that overseas tail starts with dhobi

Confidence problem. They don't even believe they can spend sometime there, if they try they will do better. Our coach should try to work on this problem. But which coach - Fletcher or Bowling coach Dawes or on-field bowling coach Zaheer ?

[Iconoclast]

One thing I noticed about India lower order ... you guys don't have the remaining batsmen try and shepherd the strike.

[NareshK]

Some people are expecting tail to wag here like they do in sub continent conditions. :cantstop: Its a whole lot tougher to bat and score here against Steyn and Morkel.

Not really. Eng on last tour there blocked them out fairly easily with good contributions from the tail and drew the series. The least the tail can do is make it difficult and prize their wickets, instead they get blown away inside 5 overs. Captain Phillips and his useless bunch of unknown coaches need to get their finger out as with this tail it will be difficult to do anything.
