SRT100 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 India must go into the match with 7 batsmen, they dont have the talent to only field 6 batsmen in hostile overseas conditions that will suit fast bowlers.
SRT100 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Australia will be without Clarke and Haddin. This is India's best chance to win a series in Australia. Although Johnson is going to be lethal. If India think that Anderson and Broad were good bowlers, they aint seen nothing yet.

Although Johnson is going to be lethal. If India think that Anderson and Broad were good bowlers, they aint seen nothing yet. Haddin is playing the Shield match starting Tuesday, he is fine. He will be the captain too. Johnson, Harris, Hazelwood/Siddle is a good attack with Lyon's pies as a change up and although Lyon is pretty bad he has a great record in Australia

StriKe Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 INDIA’S wealthy cricket team will bring a private chef to Australia this summer and have pulled out all stops to ensure their only runs come on the field. The Indians are trying to ‘curry’ favour with their explicit demands for no spicy foods at Australia’s Test venues. With their chef slaving in their hotel to prepare their favourite cuisine away from Test days, India’s cricketers have issued a list of food requirements to grounds from the Gabba to the SCG. The Test action will be hot in the middle but India insists they want no spice in the dressingroom. Only mild curries such as butter chicken are on India’s list of nutritional requirements, with the explicit instruction of “no spicy foods” written in large, red letters on their list of food demands. Fresh red hot chillies are unlikely to be sighted on the Indian cricket team’s dietary re Fresh red hot chillies are unlikely to be sighted on the Indian cricket team’s dietary requirements. Source: Supplied The tourists are also desperate to avoid their millionaire cricketers like MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli becoming sick while in Australia. They have issued Test venue caterers with pages of hygiene instructions, many of which are simply common sense. Australia’s cricketers have long suffered Delhi belly while in the subcontinent but India’s elite cricketers won’t hear of having any food germs. They have ordered that hot dishes must be served at more than 60 degrees Celsius, and cold food below five degrees Celsius, and detailed a long list of food hygiene requirements. “All utensils should look clean and have no food or anything else visible,’’ the document states. “All staff must wash their hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Baked beans have been given the seal of approval, however. Baked beans have been given the seal of approval, however. Source: Supplied “Utensils must be sanitised in a dishwasher at high heat and must be dried before use, with air drying the best method.’’ India’s list of nutritional requirements isn’t as extensive as when England was here last summer and wanted their dressingroom to resemble a Michelin Star restaurant for the Ashes. The Poms demanded dishes such as piripiri breaded tofu with tomato salsa, a quinoa and cranberry breakfast bar, mungbean curry with spinach and pistachio and ginger biscotti. India simply insist there must be no spicy or fried foods. And they say no beef or pork related products should be used in cooking or food preparation, given their high number of vegetarian cricketers. ... as have scrambled eggs. ... as have scrambled eggs. Source: Supplied They have requested an all-day venue menu including chicken, roast lamb, smoked salmon, low-fat cheese and snacks such as raw nuts, muffins, energy bars and cookies. The breakfast waiting for them when they arrive at Tests grounds should feature scrambled and poached eggs, grilled mushrooms, baked beans, yoghurt and whole fruits. Lunch must include grilled chicken and fish, butter chicken (mild), steamed rice, subzi (dry vegetable curry) and steamed vegetables. “Any foods not on the list must be approved by team management before they are provided to athletes,’’ the document reads. Australia also sends food guidelines to opposition countries before overseas tours but they are generally simple and straightforward. http://www.news.com.au/sport/cricket/indian-cricket-team-gives-australia-food-for-thought-in-bid-to-take-spice-out-of-test-series/story-fndpt0dy-1227127422289

We don't have the likes of VVS or Dravid anymore who can grind their ways to a draw. Its better to pick 5 bowlers and see if you can somehow pick 20 wickets.
putrevus Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Kim Hughes, McGrath back Smith to lead in Clarke's absence http://ibnlive.in.com/news/cricketnext/kim-hughes-mcgrath-back-smith-to-lead-in-clarkes-absence/514089-78.html "It's against India and it's in Australia. It's not like we're facing the West Indies in their prime. India won't have MS Dhoni so he'll be going toe-to-toe with an inexperienced Indian captain. Give him a shot. My gut feeling is that he'd do an outstanding job against an average Indian side," he said this statement from Kim hughes says it all about what outsiders think of Indian team. Hope they prove them wrong at least to shut these guys up.

BeautifulGame Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Well there is one good test team in SA. Apart from them all others are average teams .Hardly condensing We will be saying the same if Aussies are touring India

putrevus Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 uh that's exactly what WE think of our team :P Not me I think Indian team is better than that and since dhobi is not there I have more hope than ever.
Austin 3:!6 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Posted November 21, 2014 We also think the same of them when they come to India:giggle: This :cantstop:
tweaker Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I think this time Australia is in for rude shock
gattaca Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I think this time Australia is in for rude shock If india can score more than 300 atleast once.
Cricket_Hacker Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Not me I think Indian team is better than that and since dhobi is not there I have more hope than ever. Dhobi can't make the batsmen score more runs
Austin 3:!6 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Posted November 21, 2014 I think this time Australia is in for rude shock Yep shock if India can lose atleast lose 1 test match without innings defeat :agree:
Laaloo Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Dhobi can't make the batsmen score more runs but he can be a better captain and learn from his million mistakes and show some emotions during a test match and not during biryani incidents but I guess that's too much to ask
