*Official* India in Sri Lanka 2010 - Tests

[vcs]

Sreesanth's reputation seems to have been enhanced by his injury, I would never bet anything on him. He has talent but with his temperament, it means very little.

 

[masterblaster]

India really need someone with a bit of all round skill. I wonder how Irfan Pathan's been doing these days? It's sad that they discarded him and haven't really given him a second look. I've always been a fan of his and think he has a lot to offer.

What about us missing Kapil Dev and Bishen Singh Bedi?Oh wait they are retired..just like Murali.

Stop being intellectually dishonest - Zaheer,Sree and a fully fit Harbhajan is a much better attack than Ishant, a half fit Harbhajan and a debutant.And well done on ignoring the bits about Australia

How long has it been since Zaheer was fit?

We have no idea whether he's done or not and even if he makes a comeback, the guy averages well over 30 ffs! We're not talking about Malcolm Marshall here

Sreesanth has had one good series in his career and it was 4 years ago

Harby declared himself fit - end of story

No point bringing Oz into it or else I'll have to point out that we've had to use no less than 18 fast bowlers in the last 2 years due to injuries - cop that injury toll and you really would have something to complain about

So annoying when he gets Tendulkar everytime.

Worst person for one of the greatest batsman ever to be a bunny to.

Dion Nash, Hansie Cronje, Chris Harris, Aamer Sohail say Hi

Good chance of Gambhir to ton up now with no Malinga there to dismiss him in the first over.

Fernando annoys me way more.

 

[Migara]

Fernando annoys me way more.

Or is that out of frustration that no Indian bowler in the recent past bar had been achieving his pace over an extended period? Ishant was quick for a season, but now only lively medium. Fernando at 29+ still produces 90mph deliveries FFS.

 

[Jono]

Lol, the guy has a ridiculously loud grunt and no balls a lot. He also has wasted talent. He annoys me. I'm not here saying he's crapper than Indian fast bowlers. I just dislike him as a cricketer for his various quirks. And when he gets Sachin out, it makes me

Not a big story fellas.

 

[Migara]

Well to be fair he has got Sachin less than on five occasions. It was Vaas who was used to nail Sachin in ODIs.

Your dislike may be OT. The fella is a very shy and mild mannered guy.

 

[Jono]

I'm sure he is a nice guy. But when he bowled Sachin in the 2007 World Cup a part of me died inside. And it's still dead

Oh, that part...

 

[vcs]

I remember Fernando running out some Indian batsman with a direct throw from the boundary in an ODI long back and pointing to his biceps in celebration. Maybe it's a very childish reason, but I found that really annoying.

Loved him when he bowled the last English batsman in the 2007 WC though and I really like his slower balls when he gets them right.

Lol same here, the guy just annoys me. And I am SL too.
Btw, you should hear him talk, that would seal the deal.
Very squeaky voice, Michael Jackson on helium how I would describe it.

You do like Nadal, don't you?

 

[Jono]

Haha fair play.

 

[Avada Kedavra]

How long has it been since Zaheer was fit?

He played the last test series.

We have no idea whether he's done or not and even if he makes a comeback, the guy averages well over 30 ffs! We're not talking about Malcolm Marshall here?

What are you talking about?No one's claiming he is Malcolm Marshall but the fact is he is India's best bowler. As for bringing up his averages - love how you take his average at facevalue despite constantly having a go at Indian batsmen for batting on roads.I guess the roads become greentops when Zaheer bowls Besides if you're getting averages into this,Murali averages 30+ against India as well He has RETIRED.

Sreesanth has had one good series in his career and it was 4 years ago

He won us a test recently and he Is a MUCH better bowler than Sharma.

Harby declared himself fit - end of story

Lame argument.He was recovering from a flu and only played because the rest of the attack was so inexperienced that it was felt a half fit Harbhajan would be a better option.Obviously a fully fit one would have in all likelihood done better.

No point bringing Oz into it or else I'll have to point out that we've had to use no less than 18 fast bowlers in the last 2 years due to injuries - cop that injury toll and you really would have something to complain about

The fast bowlers were responsible for Aus getting bowled out for 88 You were moaning about how India didn't deserve the number 1 rank.I'm point out that Australia perhaps don't even deserve 3 or 4 or whatever their current rank is for they failed to put away a Pakistani side that's

a.ranked in the bottom half
b.didn't have their best players

I'm the exact same. I've never warmed to Fernando at all as a Cricketer and I am always surprised when Sri Lanka turns back to him.

 

[honestbharani]

125? Gary Kirsten recently replied to a question on Pathan's chances off a comeback, saying (and I quote) that he didn't need a bowler bowling at 113 kmph and blocking one end.

That applies more to blokes like Joginder Sharma, Ganapathy and Rajat Bhatia tbh..

 

[honestbharani]

I see why The Sach was in a hurry to sign him up for Mumbai Indians..
