Last series when I said that this is the wrong team people on this board jumped on me. YUVRAJ IS NOT A TEST BATSMAN. All this idiot can talk about is leading the Indian team....give me a break.
Known devil better than unknown prospect?

what's wrong with Sehwag?
Sehwag has often been opened up. It's difficult to stop an in-form Chris Gayle. Even the top bowling attacks have had trouble facing him.

I wouldn't use the word "better" in any context with the Indian team right now. Skill deficiency is one thing. But rotten attitude and lack of patience and application is unforgivable.

Remember EVERYONE beat West Indies. India is making them look like world-beaters. When Lara said it is a 200 wicket he probably meant he alone could score 200.

Pathetic display so far in one-dayers and this Test. Just rotten. :@

The Indians have made them look world-beaters even with their last known good team. With this selection, at least you can't fault them for not trying.

p.s. Go to SportNetwork ICF. You'll find lots of like-minded so-called fans there.

57 matches @ 39.21 w/ 7 100's
45 marches @ 52.23 w/ 11 100's


You are absolutely correct. One is clearly better than the other.

"Trying" is another word I would not use. Remember Greg was supposed to vault them to the NEXT level !! :laugh: :laugh:

100 in 100 balls. Look at the faces of the Indian team. Hello, genius Chappel. Dravid is simply too "nice" to be captain. You need a tough SOB as captain - not a nice guy role model.

15 runs of the last over.

For people who have difficult understanding english - unless Kumble works his magic - this will be over in 3-1/2 days TOTAL !

That's assuming Dravid gives Kumble a bowl....so far he seems hell bent on proving that all these rookie fast bowlers (the "young brigade") can NEVER get a wicket :laugh: :laugh:

Gayle is more hit and miss than Sehwag.

Not true. Michael Vaughan is the best captain in world cricket these days and he's hardly a tough nut.

Also, in other news, Chris Gayle is stupidly talented, and VRV Singh is just terrible.

That's my contribution to this thread done. :cool:

A lot of ppl on here are trashing the bowling; is it really that bad??

Can anyone explain why Sreesanth is failing to cross 84 mph when he was bowling around 86-87 with good rythm against England and Pakistan?

The Indian fast bowlers should cut out this crap of trying to out stare their opponents and try and bowl a decent over from time to time. Alright giving it all the big man ****, but when you are constantly bowling trite it gets a tad ridiculous.

Awful, pace bowlers only seem to be able to bowl two types of delivery, the juicy half volley or the short, wide and not very quick bouncer.

I am pretty sure this Indian bowling will win the WORST INDIAN ATTACK ever by a huge margin.
