only just about not the same he is our worst fast bowler if u dont take batting skills into account
personally id take agarkar over nehra any day.
and given that all your fast bowlers(bar pathan) are rubbish, batting skills do take a valuable part in picking a player.

McGrath missed the whole series, as did Warne..Gillespie and Lee were out for some, and obviously not fully fit for others. I think you'll find that Aus lost more players from it's first choice XI on a 'matches lost' basis. ( of course, we don't know what the next match will bring ).
lets not forget that lehmann was out too....

i said the best we have not the one with best averages!!!!!!!!
yes the best youve got dont average much better than the people on the bench. if someone with an average of 42 was replaced by someone with an average of 43, as opposed to someone with an average of 21 being replaced with someone who averaged 50 odd, which one would make a greater difference?

Also dont foeget that we missed harbhajan and zaheer
oh how the times have changed? when pathan and balaji came into the side in australia you were complaining about how you missed your best bowler in zaheer then and now when zaheer is playing you say that he isnt your best bowler anymore and pathan and balaji are missed 8-)

if australia win this test by an inngs they should also thank the grounds man

there is a talk going in the paper rounds here that ganguly sat down due to differnece with the grounds man because he was not given the pitch he wanted any one belive that???
Shut up man, Why cant you accept that our team played bad and aussies played much better than us. There was not a single top order batsman who could consistently guard his wicket against Aussie bowlers in this whole series. You are already acting like a sore loser.

And stop reading tabloid stuff.

Nobody is accusing anybody of cheating, are they? As far as pitches in Australia are concerned, if the Australian groundsmen wanted to make things as hard for India as possible then the Gabba would have been a green top and one of the tests would have been at the WACA. As it was, Adelaide turned a lot on the last two days and assisted Kumble in ripping through the Australian lineup in the second innings in the one test India won.

.

What Adelaide Test are you talking about ? Are you making up stuff about Sutralian pitches turning. Go back and look at Dennis Lillee's (yes, Mr Lillee himself) record in Australia and overseas (e.g., in India) and it may shock you adn tell you about how picthes always do, and should, favor the home team.

You do know never to end setntces with 'is' - you are English, after all, aren't you :) Are you rooting for Australia or are just happy that India might lose ? :wacko:

no it shows 2 things
1) how fickle some of the indian supporters really are, if pathan and balaji played this test and got hammered, you would have said that you missed zaheer and nehra
2) it proves my point that none of them are significantly better, which is why when one bowls badly you call for the other.

The Adelaide test? Yes, although I got the bowler wrong and it was Agarkar who destroyed Australia in the second innings. Regardless, the pitch WAS doing a lot, and certainly wasn't fast and bouncy with nothing for the spinners.
Oh, so you changed your mind. Your whole ENTIRE argument was that Adelaide was a turner and Kumble destroyed the Aussies. I don't think you can post credibly any more when you start making up stuff just to support your arguements. All you guys are happy to make up stuff but unhappy that Indian supporters question marginal lbw decisions :wacko:

oh i dont think anyone said that they didnt play well, they played well against the attack that they got, too many people came to the conclusion after that series that india was just about as good as australia(some said that they were better) and that they were the no 2 team in the world etc.
and india certainly didnt miss players off the quality of warne,gillespie,lehmann and mcgrath.

so you wont accept it just because there were some of us who thought Australia werent at full strength last year, and that may have contributed to India drawing the series (along with India playing well)...bit childish isnt it???

bichel and lee are 2nd string bowlers, they were rubbish anyways.
gillespie missed half that series, and in the ones that he played he wasnt fully fit.
