***Official*** Australia in India 2013 Short formats

jesus christ india's bowling has regressed incomprehensibly.

Looking ahead a 5 test tour to England next summer is going to be a slog for them. Doubt we will have dry spinning pitches next year. Then away in Australia after that. Ouch.

Shame about today being a wash out.

We can do fine if we ditch the likes of Ishant and are proactive in trying out new Test seamers.

Impressive attempt at trying to turn a thread about a one day series between India and Australia to a thread about England.

Was just a general point that despite trying new bowlers they don't have much of a pace threat. Will struggle in SA too. Will be exposed more though in the 5 and 4 test series in England and Australia than the 2 match tour of SA.

i wonder if india's OD bowling stocks would improve if they decided to adapt a domestic OD format similar to the one recently established in Australia, which concludes tomorrow when New South Wales, The Greatest Team In The World take on Queensland, live on GEM at 10:00am

Nostrils Yadav the biggest treat for fans out of the current crop of Indian seamers. Him or the 97 year old Praveen Kumar.

For the best ODI side in the world, we actually have a terrible OD competition in the country.

Not perfect, but not terrible- just a couple of leggy duffers.

Vinay and Unadkat are out for Bhuvneshwar and Mishra. Acceptable I guess, apart from the fact that Bhuvneshwar is going to have to bowl at the death. Since it's a slightly bigger ground hopefully we don't get hit for too many.

 

[harsh.ag]

This is the bowling combo I have been clamouring for. So I hope we don't get thrashed today.

Is mishra worthy of a spot in the best fielding team of all time?

Is this the ground where the curator was blaggarded in 2004 for preparing a pitch which wasn't a dust bowl?

 

[ajdude]

i reckon that's the first time i've ever seen phillip hughes play a straight drive (or whatever that was)

 

[ajdude]

up next on "worst appeals of all time",

Matthew Hayden's twitter photo is such that you can just look at it and know he's an absolute, unadulterated ****head. Belongs in a sheltered workshop.
