The Wheel is Forever

Ive been discussing this with a lot of cricketing guys here in SA and as far as everyone is concerned they are normal decent tracks. Good for batsmen that like it coming on and give the bowlers encouragement. Its found funny that people are going on about pace and bounce.

Oh no, they are great tracks. And decent for batting, and you can see SA getting good scores. Its just that virtually any bounce of pace spells the death of Indian batting, and its shocking to see how little it takes.

Nothing we have seen in this series is anything but an average track. I dont understand all this talk of pace, bounce and movment. They are good, normal tracks. To start talking about the tracks as an issue for India is an embarassment for the team rather than any poster. Man up, play cricket and get on with the game.

It is an embarrassment. There is no reason why we should be collapsing like this.

Interesting that SAs attack is being used as an example of a faster attack than India. SA is generally considered a 'slow' attack. Pollock declining, Nel dropped a lot of pace from his most aggressive, Kallis isnt getting younger and Ntini is nore likely to be found in the high 130s than mid 140.

India have finally shown how badly they suck!!! I don't care if india beat the WI and SL at home this january, this performance will stay in the mind for a long time ( i mean ths series)! India are not good players...they just seem good on flat decks . If the ball does evn a little bit, they can't handle it. Ind V Eng nxt Summer.....india will die because the ball may move!!!!!!

I agree with you, but the series hasn't begun yet, so lets see how badly they lose. Who knows, they may give a good account of themselves and maybe manage to take one of the tests to the fifth day.

seeing how well pathan has batted makes me feel that the indian batsmen are in really bad nick. if we had 3 more wickets in hand with Dhoni and Pthan out there, we would have won!! But i guess we cant go on and on about ifs and buts! Indian batsman all need to score at least 20 more run each! Thats justa standard expectation from a normal batsman.
