    *Official* Australia in India 2023

    Think people are overrating Australia a little bit. it wasn’t that long ago they got pasted by an innings in Sri Lanka and India are a better team than Sri Lanka even sans Pant and Bumrah. The current Aussie side are not a patch on the Australian side of 2004 and despite some of the commentary...

    Kohli’s India vs Imran’s Pakistan

    They were good at beating mediocre sides like England, nz in the 1990s. But against their three strongest opponents Australia, south Africa and West indies they were rubbish. They lost all three series in Australia in the 1990s , were well beaten in the Caribbean in 1993 and were thumped by...

    Kohli’s India vs Imran’s Pakistan

    I don't think the 2018 England side was weaker than what india faced in 2007. The 2018 series was played in very seam friendly conditions and india had to contend with Anderson broad and woakes. England's bowling was extremely inexperienced in 2007 and even though their batting look good on...

    Kohli’s India vs Imran’s Pakistan

    Kohlis guys had to face better england and nz sides than what dravid and dhonis sides faced. And let's be honest . Had it not been for rain india would only have drawn 1-1 on england in 2007.

    Pant injured in car accident

    There is no concept of privacy and respect for basic human rights on the subcontinent. It's why the region is so backward and we are still leaps and bounds behind Asian countries that have moved forward like South Korea, Japan and Singapore.

    Will current Aussie side beat 95-99 ( Till WI 99 series ) side ?

    If India are full strength (and they haven’t been in their most recent away tests), then I think they would give Taylor’s guys a real run for their money. a win ? Maybe not given the McGrath factor but I think it would be closer than people think. India with a relatively weak bowling attack...

    *Official* Semi Finals Thread

    They need to tighten up at the back.France has conceded in every game so far - that's not good enough for a wc winner. The history of this tournament suggests strongly that it is the sides with the best defence that triumph. The Morocco game will be tough but I think France will prevail...

    Group C - Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland

    This looks the weakest Mexico team that I’ve seen at a World Cup. Definitely think Saudis can beat them. be surprised if the Argies win the whole thing - they look a bitdevoid of creativity and lack physicality upfront.

    Group D - France, Denmark, Tunisia, Australia

    ALLEZ Les Bleus ! Well done France - avoid the defending champions curse. France should play reserves against Tunisia ??.

    Group D - France, Denmark, Tunisia, Australia

    Which team will win the series in India?

    Actually think India look a better team now than they di in South Africa. Quite obvious that Pujara and Rahane were dragging the team down. While I still am not convinced about Iyer's ability in the SENA countries I think he'll do fine at home whereas Rahane was practically a gift wicket to the...

    Which team will win the series in India?

    Also, it would be a bigger achievement than 2004 if Australia won this. The 2004 Aussie side was very experienced - 4 of their top 7 had played in India before (Hayden, LAnger, Gilchrist and Lehmann). Martyn hadnt played in India but was highly experienced and had played elsewhere on the...

    Which team will win the series in India?

    Not sure I agree with this. This was india's lineup at Bangalore in 2017 v India line up now (in parantheses) mukund (Rohit) 0-1 rahul (Rahul) 0.5-0.5 pujara (Vihari) 1-0 kohli (Kohli) 1-0 rahane (Iyer) 0-1 nair (Axar) 0.5 - 0.5 saha (Pant) 0-1 ashwin (Ashwin) 1-0 jadeja (Jadeja) 0.5-0.5 yadav...

    *Official* India vs West Indies 2022

    Good team but I'd have prasidh in place of Lord. Lord and chahar probably both competing for the same slot imo.

    The Great Indian Middle Order Crisis Thread

    think India should look at Ruturaj gaikwad seriously for test cricket - maybe try and groom him via A tours. his first class stats are not outstanding but he looks very good technically and temperamentally.
