bowl_out Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 The test team is shaping up well... Kohli, Rahane, Vijay doing exceptionally well... Pujara doing well in India... Will find form soon overseas... That's four out of six batsmen.... Have high hopes on Rahul... If he does well, and seals one spot, there will be only one passenger in the team

Raghav_12 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 hope dhoni will retire after grooming all our batsmen :two_thumbs_up: wish he had groomed himself first :((. An average of 17 something in Australia after three full tours is just pathetic. Even likes of Harbhajan have a better batting average in Australia than this hack.

Marut Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 They also had lot of practise matches to prepare unlike these youngsters An attack consisting of Johnson Harris and Hazelwood is not inferior to Macgrath Fleming and debutant Lee in home conditions .. Warne is always non factor against India.And Johnson had the fear factor that no one possessed since 80s WI This England bowling attack of Anderson Broad is much superior than the 90s attack Same with NZL with South and Boult definitely their best bowling attack since 80s The SA attack of Steyn Morkel Kallis Pillander is as good if not better than Donald and Pollack Yes the WI Srl and Pak had better attacks but these players haven't played them yet RO cash in . 1. That is a joke. Hazlewood is a rookie. Lee was quite wayward compared to McGrath. Harris is injured most of the time and not always at his peak. 2. Warne was always a factor. Our ATG team made him look like a noob. On the other hand, the new generation makes Moeen Alis, Swanns, Panesars and Lyons look like 2X Warne. Warne would have ripped apart the present day Indian team. 3. That is true. Eng and NZ are some what better they were during the 90s. 4. It isn't. SA bowling was more potent in the 90s, they conceded 300 in a innings only 13 times out of 66 innings played during the 90s which is 19%. But what happened over the last 10 years? 31 300+ scores were conceded in 100 test innings which is 31%. The modern SA team is conceding a 300 once every 3 innings whereas the 90s team conceded 300 once every five innings. No comparison even.
Jersey #10 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 We need gutsy batsmen around Kohli. Gambhir comes to mind but he's well past his prime. Dhoni's gotta move on now. I think he'll call it after WC15
