***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

[benchmark00]

Sharma has the perfect height for Australian pitches. Still gets good bounce when he pitches it up due to his height and the extra bounce in the decks.

Wasn't referring to their bowling actions, more how their stock deliveries behave.

Well they (along with grip) generally go hand in hand mate

 

[TumTum]

Sharma has got him with Jaffas too.

Pretty sure i remember Ntini troubling him bowling just short of good length with the ball coming in to him a few times. He usually as a result ends up getting out to the one that holds its line when it is a bouncy track.

Watch these, epic ownage of Ntini particularly.

wouldn't've thought TumTum saw too much of Nitini and Flintoff tbh

 

[Burgey]

Edit: at T_C, not Spikey. Spikey isn't funny.

 

[Cevno]

The problem with Sharma is that he doesn't get enough wickets when he bowls well.

**** you old man

The problem with Sharma is that he doesn't get enough wickets when he bowls well.

Which pretty much makes him useless.

Well here's some old fashioned test cricket. Good spell of bowling met with the full face of a defensive bat.

Yeah and it sounds like an obvious point too but it's important. Bowling good balls is great and all but you still need the nous to finish the deal. The difference between someone who's a good bowler and a genuine leader of the attack.

EDIT: Gutsy shot from Cowan there. Hitting straight to a bloke turning it away is risky.

 

[Spark]

Nice shot.

 

[Cabinet96]

Stunning shot there.

 

[TumTum]

Katich like innings.





Will get out in the 80s

Dizzy Gillespie springs to mind.

Not that Sharma could carry his jock strap, but a similar theme.

Opportunity to make another arbitrary comparison to Flintoff there.

No Watson to get into a run out problem with (boxing day 09)

Yadav back ITSTL

 

[Spark]

Haha, completely misread the length there.
