Praveen Kumar showing what a useless bowler he is.Parveen Kumar and Ishant finishing off the innings.... really not surprised Aus is going to get 300 here for sure...
Yeah thats what i was thinking too... with Yuvi in the middle order.. feels like India can chase any score.Cracking last over.
If we had Yuvi I'd back us to go close. Without him, no hope tbh. Hope Sachin can make a few though.
Yeah, I rate Kohli, Raina and Jadeja but don't see any of them being up to this at this stage of their careers unless Sehwag, Sachin and Gambhir get us very close.Yeah thats what i was thinking too... with Yuvi in the middle order.. feels like India can chase any score.
How close is close??unless Sehwag, Sachin and Gambhir get us very close.
Agree with so much of this post.Ishant bowled decently today and i do like Parveen Kumar but he never should be bowling in the last 10 overs.... at his pace he's a cannon fodder for these batsman.
Seriously need to consider Harbhajan's position as number 1 spinner in both forms of game... India should give Mishra ago or someone else. As much as like the way Harbhajan can lift the team but overall he's been usless in ODI cricket for a quite a long time now. He continues to be picked on reputation.
Yeah or bowl him out straight away the way Adam Dale used to do it for Australia. I think he had similar pace as well.. remember he used to bowl 8 to 10 overs on the trot.. depending on whether he's having a good day or not.Agree with so much of this post.
Praveen is a good limited overs bowler when he's opening the bowling and getting it to move. I'd bowl him 7 overs at the start, in the powerplays, and then his last 3 in the middle.
Have Ishant and Nehra (and Zaheer when he's back) bowl at the death.
And Harbhajan was putrid today.
