We had some OK batsmen from the 70s onwards' date=' but before that there were only isolated greats like Hazare and Merchant. Even from the 70s onwards, Sunny was the only reliable world class bat. Amarnath was erratic, though he played well away from home. Vishy - ditto, except that he played much better at home. Vengsarkar had an uneven career, but was slightly more consistent. Apart from these guys, there were no other class batsmen between the 70s and 80s. In the mid 80s to mid 90s, a few good batsmen emerged - Azhar, Sachin, Sidhu, etc.[/quote'] This explains why we were poor travelers as well. But I remember vishwanath was great in ozzie land. May be he was only good there.

Vishy averaged 45 against Australia IN Australia (overall avg of 53 vs them). But, the best pace attack was the WI team, and he averaged 35 in WI. He also did poorly in NZ and Pak.

Didn't have the technique like Mohinder, Sunny against bouncers.

Azhar had worse technique than Raina lol against bouncers. He would duck straight into it . So did Kambli. One reason why Azhar flourished in NZ/England and not in OZ. Only time he made runs was in adelaide where ball hardly rose above his knees. SImilarly on an easy paced slow capetown pitch he feasted on Klusner.

Only sachin had the technique during that time. It was horrible seeing how we use to loose. Australia was even worse used to wake up at 4 am to see cricket we lost every match played there.

Right from Hazare, the majority of our players have had very good home records. This is not as bad as the Lankans, but still a cause for concern. Hence, we must hope that this current crop of young batsmen learn to do well abroad too.

It was compounded by some of the most biased umpiring i have seen. Next only to Pakistan umpiring.

India to regain their record after next summer.

Vishy had issues against raw pace. Even during his 114 in OZ he was bowled by a noball i think. He was troubled by bouncers. Didn't have the technique like Mohinder' date=' Sunny against bouncers.[/quote'] Yes Vishy was more like Zaheer Abbas - stylish and flambouyant but these were not the best batsmen in their sides.

Yes Vishy was more like Zaheer Abbas - stylish and flambouyant but these were not the best batsmen in their sides.

A good comparison - of course, the diff of 7 in their avgs arose from Abbas making really big 100s.

WI is the most surprising. Expected the number to be higher for a side that did not lose a series for nearly 15 years. For Australia how many of those whitewashes were under the all conquering teams from 1995-2007-08. Even Clarke now has 3 whitewashes - 4-0 vs India, 3-0 vs India and now 5-0 vs England! Also any idea of teams whitewashing the opposition playing away from home?

?? India won 4-0, how does that count for Clarke ? :WTF:

[div]

?? India won 4-0' date= how does that count for Clarke ? :WTF:

2011/12 test series and 3-0 vs Sri Lanka.
