Your mid off needs to be deep and straight here if you're going to bowl full IMO, but certainly the standard of the Indian ground fielding wasn't always great in Melbourne. Their catching was fine save Zaheer's effort though.
He dropped Hussey off Ashwin, then he went on to get the highest score of the innings so heh.
Yeah that's true, had slipped my mind. I think both teams dropped at least a couple.
Yeah he put a few down in England, didn't he?Its funny, Dravid was usually safe as a house, even during his batting slump, but since he got his form back, his catching has been pretty woeful, he's dropped maybe half a dozen absolute sitters
Exactly, was such a rubbish article. Wouldn't trust the guy as far as I could throw him.
As I've said, the guy can be a decent bat. If he never knew that he was a right arm fast bowler, he'd have been a very good district batsman. You add in the extra development of state squads and national teams, and I think he's definitely good enough to get a Test hundred.
Must say, it's one of the great things about the MCG. Impossible to hold a closed session on the turf nets, anyone walking past can watch. It's a great set-up. Obviously indoor if it's raining is a bit different.
Helps when Watto's not at the top of the order.
oh.....so that is it.....
Sehwag's balance is pretty much spot on, IMO.
Yeah it is, just he's at the age I'm trying to show and teach him footwork. Plus, Sehwag's style is pretty well freakish for a kid to try to emulate.
Fair enough. If there are 3 things that can be learnt from Sehwag's technique, they are:
Yeah I suppose you find what works for you, it's just a style which would be easy to try to copy but nigh impossible for most humans to emulate with any success.
How do you know he's fit tbf? Think if Watson was there Harris would be a lock to play.
buddy we played him in the 5th ashes test. you think we're gonna drop after he's actually played a good match
and it makes a lot more sense if your gonna have seaming green tops - especially when India's best swing bowler of recent months is injured. Mind you its still a gamble with ZK back.
Without Watson in the side I don't think the Australians can take that gamble.
It would be such a stupid move to change a bowling combination that found great success in Melbourne to incorporate Harris who has yet to truly prove his fitness. Without Watson, I am frightened to think of what would happen if Harris was to breakdown midway through the game and we had to rely upon 15+ overs from Hussey.
