Can India stage a comeback

[adi B]

can they?i believe so :agree: okay this is to counter vvs's thread,hope india does like england

[BeautifulGame]

Come to home We will comeback

[Marco Polo]

I will post my prediction brother. Just wait. You might get surprised. :winky:

[adi B]

weather might play a part as well

[sscomp32]

Yes they can. I have faith in the team.

[Malcolm Merlyn]

Yes comeback home.

[zep1706]

Yes, remove Dhoni from captaincy and appoint someone who is not as clueless as him then there is a chance. Otherwise the short answer is no. Should have lost the Lord's test too. In fact would have lost it if the Engliash batsmen weren't so stupid.

[nevada]

Yes, there is a slim possibility. If pissant comes back we have a decent bowling attack. And maybe Pujara and Kohli will finally click and put up a big score this time.

[Gunner]

Selection and tactics will be key as the Oval is likely to be dry and flat - England will want to win the series by drawing the test. They won't risk losing the match by preparing a green pitch like at Lord's. We on the other hand have no option but to go for a win to draw the series. As the conditions are likely to be batting-friendly, we have to strengthen our bowling by playing 5 bowlers who'll have a significantly higher chance of taking 20 English wickets. IMO these 5 should be Bhuvi, Aaron, Ishant, Ashwin and Jadeja. I didn't want Jaddu but as there's no other spin bowler in the squad, there's no choice but to have him. Also, Dhoni must use him in an aggressive manner, like he does on Indian turners.

[YCCC]

Of course. Anything can happen as has been proven already in this fascinating series. Highest ever 10th wicket partnership, India out bowling England on a green top. India decimated by a part time spinner, nine wickets in a session. Still think there's a few twists left yet. Keep the faith

[undisputed chap]

No chance . Better focus on WI home series.

[cricketfan28]

better focus on worldcup ... we are not a good test tem

[SLICKR392]

Need to be determined like they were in SA. Pujara himself said in one of the Sky shows that he thought batting in England would have been easy and has been carried away. With adi on this one. Will be a tough test, but its not impossible to hit back at England.

We are poor in odis as well away from home but good in global events so that can be in our favor

[renjith]

there is hope in the sense we can't do worse than this. after all englad is just a mediocre team and there is no reason why we can't hit back collectively. can't figure out why our batsmen are getting out in clusters to moen ali. he is just a below average bowler. if you cut-down all the wickets we gifted to moen ali you can see the difference it makes to the series. just need to HIT HIM OUT OF THE ATTACK in next test. we have nothing to loose anyways.

[gaurav92]

No. 3-1 is on the cards, a team that cannot survive less than 2 sessions cannot make a comeback like this.

[sourab10forever]

No. 3-1 is on the cards' date=' a team that cannot survive less than 2 sessions cannot make a comeback like this.[/quote'] True. ZIM batsmen are batting better than us. I think we should try naman ohja...looking at his current form he could replace Kholi

[Lord]

Have to figure out how to play Chemical Ali first.England would have won even if series was in India with such shoddy batting

[tweaker]

No ,same old story,team will be selected on friendship basis.Those who are known failure will be retained & new players will be dropped after 1 chance

[Stuge]

yes ,they will come back to home in no time :P
