Hope the ****s keep dropping catches so everyone realises how underrated Dravid was in the slips

Edit: Dammit how unlucky has Zaheer been?

This is quite normal in India, and its a whole process,

3- He's injured? no problem, let him recover and play the domestic matches where he will bowl 50 overs a week on wickets with no help and poor climate.
4- Oh, the guy is burnt out now, and isn't the same bowler, what next? nothing, the guys gets criticized journalists and everyone else for his poor fitness, lack of commitment etc.

This is rubbish.

Most of them are just not motivated enough to keep themselves fit. You can't be a weak unfit **** and hope to be a fast bowler.

I actually think Vijay will do a fair job seeing off the new ball. He's a good leaver of the ball and he did that pretty well against Steyn when he was bowling a crazy spell back in the 2010 SA series. Has to protect the middle order from the new ball where most of our runs will come from, which imo he's capable of doing. Dhawan on the other hand is likely to struggle imo

That is completely wrong, wouldn't question the attitude of every single bowler and categorize them as not hard working. All bowlers around the world get injured, its not something new. Indian bowlers face more issues because of poor management.

What always gets me with your posts about Ishant is that you always talk as if he's declined or is out of form or something like that and just needs to go back to how he was bowling earlier in his career to be successful.

Sharma at his best looks awkward without actually taking any wickets. Sharma at his worst just looks as bad as he actually is. Neither iteration is Test standard. And no, the fact that he's just taken a wicket doesn't change that either.

He was very much a test standard bowler when he started off, no question about that, a good fuller delivery would have made him even more menacing, but he was fine even without it. And he kept the pressure on the batsmen by bowling some unplayable deliveries and didn't give away any easy runs even when he didn't pick a lot of wickets, he would any day be our 2nd or 3rd seamer with that kind of bowling.

SA will score 700+ with ease, India got no chance they'll get bundled under 50 runs in second innings Steyn's 8-for 10

We're cooked. When you bowl well and can't get wickets then you know you're ****ed.
