increases the chance of us losing one game and then that streak being broken... but still.. a win would do us good like always. We need a much better bowling attack, consisting of good pacers with pace who can atleast trouble their players!

how do you think the ICC makes money? I think India have played Pakistan in every champions trophy ever staged in England. Even in the T20 2009 WC when there was no India v Pakistan the ECB actually made it a point to have a warm up at the oval.

Why is the U19 worldcup held in dubai ? They have very limited people to attend. Dubai has nothing to do with cricket.
Yeah, cricket has been played there for a million years and UAE doesnt have a team which is half as good as Afghanistan. But then again, nobody wants to go to Afghanistan or Pakistan and even Bangladesh's situation is bad nowadays. That's probably the reason.

India will do well in U19 world cup and T20 world cup but I am worried about India's chances in World cup in Australia. We just don't have the bowling attack for those kind of pitches. Dhoni will pick two regular spinners and also rely on dibbly-dobbly part-timers. You need couple of fast bowling all-rounders to have the right kind of batting and bowling depth in Australia. Binny is unproven, Pathan is out of favour and I don't see anyone else on the horizon. Again, too much dependence on batting. I wouldn't consider Ashwin and Jadeja all-rounders in Aussie conditions. One can't bowl and the other can't bat.

Its the same problem we faced in South Africa. Indian seamers try to slide the ball across the surface and it doesnt work on those pitches. In Aus, SA you need to hit the deck hard to get some seam movement and bounce. Extra pace helps. Bowlers like B Kumar, V Kumar will be cannon fodder there. We either need to go for pace (Umesh, Aaron, Shami or perhaps Suyal or Rahul Shukla) or look for tall bowlers who can bend their back and have high arm action and hit the deck like maybe Ishwar or Pankaj. (I'm not too familiar with their bowling) At the moment, we only have Ishant who can do something close to that and we know how inconsistent he can be. :cantstop: I think Rishi Dhawan could be a decent seam bowling all rounder. Is Pradeep Sangwan any good ?

Banned for 18 months due to being tested positive in IPL plus he is more of a trundler .
