They're all attacking bowlers and so they should be. This is Test cricket.Both Shami and Yadav are attacking bowlers which is important, but they also are capable of leaking away runs fast, its important to have a balanced attack, and that is where Bhuvi can ft in.
Unlucky.Indias bowling attack is where the series will be won or lost imo.
India's current middle order is not superior to the one which rocked up in England last time out ffs.India may struggle to get twenty wickets but I can't see England's bowlers dominating India's batsmen like they did in 2011.
A middle order of Pujara, Kohli, Rohit and Rahane is quite formidable and I do expect them to cause some pain to England's bowlers this summer.
I feel Anderson is probably just past his peak now as a bowler. Swann is not there anymore and the third seamer is still an issue for England.
If you look at the Tests where Dravid opened, it most certainly is.India's current middle order is not superior to the one which rocked up in England last time out ffs.
Where did I say they were you idiot ?India's current middle order is not superior to the one which rocked up in England last time out ffs.
India's current middle order is not superior to the one which rocked up in England last time out ffs.
You'd still back them to bat a fair bit better than they did last time. They've got some good players in there.India's current middle order is not superior to the one which rocked up in England last time out ffs.
QuiteEngland vs. India - always brings out the best in the forum.
No. Nobody is equal to 2011 Dravid.Pujara is at least = 2011 Dravid
Kohli > 2011 Tendulkar
Rahane and Rohit > 2011 Laxman and Raina
And then put Dravid opening and Yuvraj in the team...
Cut out the insults please.Where did I say they were you idiot ?
On paper they may not have the reputations of the Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman, but that doesn't mean they won't be able to get runs against this English attack.
Bettered Tendulkar in every series they played together since debut? He's then gone on to do exceedingly well against SA and NZ away from home.And I'm not having Kohli as being better than Tendulkar. What the **** has Kohli done in Test cricket?
Since Perth 2012, he's been superb everywhere against every opposition he's faced.No. Nobody is equal to 2011 Dravid.
And I'm not having Kohli as being better than Tendulkar. What the **** has Kohli done in Test cricket?
