Also,ever since some of our old guard have been dropped (Gambhir,Zaheer,Sehwag etc),our fielding has gone up a notch.The fielding of the bowlers is what is very encouraging atm .I mean just look at how good a fielder Mohit Sharma is !
Why are there doubts about our bowling? The whole issue with India's bowling has been inconsistency, they have enough pace and bounce to trouble the best, its just that they don't bowl in the right areas consistently. No one should be surprised that Indian quicks are making opposition players hop around, just gotta make sure its done match after match instead of lame leg side freebies and wide short ones outside off.
Didn't really expect such a consistent performance from all three pacers.
Exactly, its the consistency India has lacked, not skill or ability. Just a matter of actually bowling to their potential consistently.
I think people are more taking the piss out of Gavaskar and Shastri than Dhoni. It's understandable for Dhoni to say that -- he's not meant to have perspective on things like that -- but some of the BCCI commentators have been absurd with it for a while.
This, and mainly Shastri tbh. Gavaskar usually just talks about how much they've improved over the years.
Fair point with the bowling but I think it would also be fair to say the Indian batsmen have lacked the skill to play the quick, bouncy Australian bowlers.
Are you referring to tests or ODIs? We scored almost 270 at the MCG in the tri series against Aus, and at least 3 India bats had performed solidly in the tests, so I'm not sure what you are referring to.
Because there aren't many good teams in the WC.
Wow how pleasant
Your cake is hax.
Who are you and what have you done with G.I.Joe?
