Let them have their fun. Could be Sharma's last overseas tour. At least I hope so.

For some reason our selectors are under the delusion that he's a wicket taker. This guy needs to go ASAP. Shouldn't play at Adelaide either. It should be Ojha in his place.

Is still a better option than Yadav on AO, tbh. The only way Yadav's going for < 4 rpo is if he bowls too wide to be hit.

do you take the bowler going above 4po but able to fluke some wickets or the 3po guy who is unlucky

Meh, it's **** vs steaming pile of ****. Sharma's more likely to bowl well and maybe some form going into their next series, for mine.

Manjrekar wrote a good article about Sharma and him being this 'unlucky' bowler. If you are unlucky for the last 4 years..you are just not bowling well.

The same stuff he said in Cricinfo?

The parts he said about Siddle were stupid, i.e. "he must prove himself in India" and "he is the same as he was in 2008", but what he said about India needing to prepare turners is fair enough (as discussed in the other thread on CW).

He mainly praised the Australian bowlers tbf. The SMH article didn't mention it.

"He has bowled really well in this series - no doubt about that - he has been their main bowler who has always taken wickets whenever he has got into his spell. The important thing is, how he bowls well in the subcontinent. Here he has bowled well, but let's see what he does in other conditions as well."

That didn't stop Gambhir from praising the Australian bowling unit, whose performance he rated higher than the English bowlers last summer. "When you see the results both have been at par," Gambhir said. "England had a lot of lateral movement, but over here a lot of credit goes to them [the Australian bowlers]. They had a very inexperienced attack. England have far more experience than the Australian fast bowlers. The way they have bowled in this series is tremendous.

"They have never let us off the hook, they have always kept us under pressure though they were playing with just three seamers and a spinner. They kept coming at us, which is important, because there are times in Test cricket where you can get easy runs, especially in middle sessions. A lot of credit has to go to them.

"Even in the middle sessions they kept hitting those areas, and never let us score freely. As we all know Indians are known to score runs freely. Most of our middle order has been boundary hitters. They never let us score those boundaries. Never gave us balls where we can score freely. Especially in that middle session."
