*Official* India in South Africa

[Jarquis]

I know which is far more relevant tbf. Seeing as only one of those Englands will actually be facing the spin.

 

[Shri]

So who are actually good against spin in this English side? KP is reasonably good. The others are all average.

 

[Jarquis]

Bell and Prior are pretty damn awesome as well. None of our players are bad at playing spin though, so to say they are because we were **** at it 40 years ago is stupid.

 

[Anil]

well done india! levelling the series is great, now please, please try to hold it together for the final test...!

 

[Shri]

Bell and Prior are pretty damn awesome as well. None of our players are bad at playing spin though, so to say they are because we were **** at it 40 years ago is stupid.

Nah they are ****.

 

[Jarquis]

Nah they are ****.

Come back when you have half a clue.

 

[Hit Wicket]

Prior is good against spin, no not just good was 'awesome' the word used?

 

[Jarquis]

"Pretty awesome" = Rather/Quite
Prior's more than "good" against spin I'd suggest.

 

[Shri]

Come back when you have half a clue.

Still ****.

 

[Jarquis]

Still ****.

Started in this thread tbph.

Hey, come one its Shri, he's always this wrong.

You are such a hater. You can't stand it if people rate players you don't like. Haddin for example.

 

[silentstriker]

Keep it in the other thread please. That way I don't have to read it anymore .

 

[Jarquis]

You are such a hater. You can't stand it if people rate players you don't like. Haddin for example.

Nah, people can rate Haddin all they like. In fact he's won me over this series by quite a long way.
It's just Julian's random hating on Prior I don't get.
Though Julian does take the Haddin love way too far.
"Could open and average 50" lololololololol

 

[George.Hinton]

Not at all. Actually, I reckon they could potentially be okay to Yadav, because he has got a bit of pace, but as for Mithun and Unadkat who at 80mph and do not move the ball - yeh, it could be brutal. As much as I despise him, I'd happily have Sreesanth in the team over any of those three (you can add Ishant to that too, actually).

My ideal situation would be to have an attack of Zaheer, Munaf, Praveen and Harbhajan. Praveen can bowl extensively with the new ball and then perhaps bowl with the wicket keeper up to the stumps in an attritional role, otherwise. Praveen can bolster the batting too. Actually, thinking about it, perhaps R Vinay Kumar would be a better pick than Praveen, as he has that 5kph extra that will make him less useless with the old ball, but again, I'm not too sure.

Surely Pankaj SIngh must be looked at by the Indian selectors.
He's played a number of seasons at first class level now and has done very well of late.

He's also six foot five which would add a very different dimension to the attack.
Indian seamers don't usually tend to get to that kind of height.

 

[Jono]

Yeah I want Pankaj Singh in the squad at the very least.

I don't understand why we took him to Australia in 2007/08 in the squad and then never did so again
