***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

Well. He has a reasonable field for this over, and guess what, he's bowled a few decent balls.

That's a top shot though, that was outside off.
Yeah it does have a huge affect on a bowler's mindset, as a bowler I know that.

Clarke walking across his stumps now, that's progress for India, whether successful or not.

Yadav is rubbish.

I'll qualify this by saying it's quite conceivable that I've missed his good spells as the only full day I've watched was day 4 at Melbourne, but he's been absolute piss any time I've watched him. He's a 5mph faster version of Sreesanth.
I'll go against the grain and say I thought his first few overs today were quite good. Good line and a hint of swing. Ever since he's switched ends and Dhoni's started ****ing around with the fields, he's been rubbish however.

Dhoni did this plenty of times in England, in fact things got waaaaay worse than this (declaration bowling wise). Happened whenever a large partnership formed.
My personal favourite was definitely bowling Raina after Lunch on Day 4 at Lord's, baffling.

They've managed to play him from circumspect to "let's smash some fours" mode. That's not a good thing.

He's not terrible. He's raw (I know people use this far too often to excuse erratic bowling but its true), but he's got good seam position and seems to get late swing at times, something rare for an Indian quick, so should definitely be persisted with. His main weakness for me is his height, means he has to work harder than a Finn, Pattinson or De Lange.

No, his main weakness is inconsistency. If he can sort that out he'll be a gun bowler.

I have to qualify everything I've said this morning by saying this is the partnership I've been waiting for for two years.

Yeah this Yadav looks poor. Thought he looked good against the Windies, but this is just piss.

Not going to defend this from Yadav, but its easily the worst he's ever bowled. Never bowled this badly against WI, even on flatter tracks, and whilst he wasn't great on day 4 of the MCG test he had poor fields from Dhoni.

He wasn't amazing on day 1 and day 3 of the MCG test but he was good. This is **** from him.

Hopefully he'll learn from this and it doesn't occur again.

Rubbish bowling by Yadav. Bowling with no plan and is hardly landing two deliveries in the same zone. Needed to bowl well early because the second, third and fourth spells for today will be hot.
