Cricket_Hacker Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Bangladesh vs Afghanistan match will be fun
MK55 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Afghan new ball bowlers >>>> India's new ball trundlers
rkt.india Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Afghan fast bowling is better than Pak fast bowling too in this WC.
Zero_Unit Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 technically if afghan bowlers and bang batsmen form a team under mushi, they should trash India and Pakistan left and right... if india and pak form a team they will trash aus and saffers, but that is a different story... What the hell are you talking about? We just trashed AFG's bowling today.
Marut Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Afghan bowlers have pace - not much swing or guile. Pace alone is not enough to trouble international quality batsmen. Rohit will butcher such attacks. Afghan will be thrashed by the big boys and we gave them a reality check today. If they think their pace is good, no idea what India will score against weak bowling teams.
Guldozer Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 No way is Bangladesh batting better than Pakistan's. If their batting really was better than ours then they should have alteast beaten us once in this millennium. Whereas Afghan bowling is too inexperienced at the moment and hasn't played enough to be said to be better than India's.
singhprakash72 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Not sure about Indian bowling worse than Afghan but for sure it is worst among Test playing nations or may be par with Bang & Zim. The cramping of tours after tours has also not helped their cause.
jusarrived Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Both are not true , Afg's pace bowling is slightly better than both India and Pak . Banglas batting is at par with Pak at best , not better .

jusarrived Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I dont consider Bangladesh batting stronger then ours. Pakistan now has a decent set of batsmen with potential. If they play to thier potential. They can beat any team in the world. Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk No they cannot . Pak simply lacks the talent be it in bowling or batting . On potentialy pakistan is not even Top6 now
Guldozer Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Both are not true , Afg's pace bowling is slightly better than both India and Pak . Banglas batting is at par with Pak at best , not better . Pakistan's bowling has been suffering due to bans, injuries and players not being selected on merit. Otherwise Pakistan's bowling has a lot of potential.
vvvslaxman Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Desi power has pushed England below India :cantstop:
termination Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I dont know whats the point of this thread.We are comparing with afghans,who until yesterday didnt know anything about cricket.

If they think their pace is good' date= no idea what India will score against weak bowling teams. Really? Did you see their bowling in first spell yesterday. It was adelaide patta and even there they were getting disconcerting bounce and seam movement early on. Both Kohli and Dhawan got out due to that movement.

Is this another way to make a statement that Kohli and Dhawan are weak against movement? Well, almost any pace bowler bowling at this level is capable of getting bounce and seam movement in the first few overs in Australia. Even our bowlers do that routinely. If Afghan bowlers were half as good as claimed, they would have restricted India to 300 after reducing us to 2/16. Actually, they did not even check the flow of runs after having India on the mat as India rushed to 50 in the 9th over and 100 in the 17th over. But for that unfortunate Raina run out and Dhoni's poor form of late, India was all set to clear 400. Talk about a good bowling unit.

But for that unfortunate Raina run out and Dhoni's poor form of late, India was all set to clear 400. Talk about a good bowling unit. Most batsmen are weak against movement. Not specific to just these two. Sometimes, you get good deliveries and get out, sometimes you play out them. Regarding seam movement, no Indian bowlers have barely done that in this whole tour. Regarding Afghan bowlers, they have 2 good bowlers up front but lack the depth. In ODI cricket these due to new rules, you need 4-5 good bowlers to restrict teams, especially, batting like India. Once those early overs were passed, they didnt have bowlers do that. Also, match was played at Adelaide, the flattest pitch in Australia. I never said hey have a good bowling unit. They have good pacers up front.
rkt.india Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Why can't we poach them? Would love to have Hamid Hassan in Indian team. With more support and facilities playing for a better team, he can easily be a world class bowler. His first spell yesterday on a relatively flat pitch was top notch if you think he plays for an associate team.
