So you think its strange that Dravid doesn't share your opinion? :p

Pretty much. :p

Nah the point I was making was that its interesting how Dravid singled out Swann and Anderson (which makes sense because of their standing, and the meaning of the statement isn't enormously significant anyway), as opposed to Tremlett. Just personal opinion that Tremlett will be more worrying for them.

Also interesting when he says they were impressed by Swann in 2007, when they apparently saw him bowling. Would have thought most Indian batsmen wouldn't think much of some county offspinner. Shows that he was different class even then.

I look forward to seeing Eoin Morgan average around 21 with the bat over the next 7 weeks, and giving his wicket to Zaheer's reverse swing about 5 times out of 8.

By the way, I congratulate Mr. Morgan for scoring more test runs than Harbhajan's number of test wickets. Good achievement, that.

You make it sound terrible to get out to Zaheer Khan's reverse swing. From what I recall, the man's fairly good at it tbh

I won't be surprised or bothered if Eoin gets out to Zaheer. I am however expecting him to pretty much destroy Harby.

Yes, they were impressed by his unique and unparalleled ability to work the UDRS and get decisions in his favor. He is a legend in the making...this lad.

Given I was making an extremely obscure reference to something few people would get, I really should have made sure I didn't make and typos. :oops:

Meant "credit".

Cook and Zaheer to get injured in the first test. Heard it here first.

If Cook gets injured in the first Test, I think we can definitely rule him out as a suspect for when Broad gets raped later on :ph34r:

Or maybe he's just cooking up an alibi for himself.
