A look at India's Leading bowlers average Vs Aus: 1. Nehra: Wow he gives 67 runs to take a wicket and needs 65 balls to take it. (he is Spearhead of our bowling attack) 2.Bhajji: I wonder y people are telling he plays his best against Aus, after seeing this stunning stat. He needs 63 balls to take a wicket and gives away 50 runs (Such a crap bowler who only boasts..Yuvi & Sachin are better than this overhyped idiot)
But For Aus bowlers it is as follows: Lee: needs 23 balls and gives only 29 runs Johnson: Needs 26 balls and 36 runs.
And it does worth discussing & comparing the fielding of two sides.
It will be a super batting effort if the end result will be 5-2

On pt. 2 I agree. Bhajji's batting improves against Aus especially if you see his last few test and ODI inngs. But his primary role is bowling and he's very ordinary in ODIs v Aus. On pt. 1 - i do not agree. While Nehra's lifetime performance may not be good, he has made a deserving comeback and has bowled well since his return. So, we should give him a fair chance till he actually underperforms.

May be. But I like the indian batting might better. This lee-johnson combo is not like Mcgrath-Warne era.
These two guys can be picked off as Sewag showed. I predict either a 5-2 india win or a 4-3 india win, which is much more likely, given that the dhonis's team is prone to lethargy and dont want to be world beaters, yet.
Stage is set for team india to come back :).Wonder how Lee was fielding in the deep with a sore elbow ;) Also how Mitch was able to bowl his full quota even after getting 'injured'.I remember reading in a Thommo interview some time last year about how the players used to get 'injured' if the management wants a particular player to sit out for the next match..
nehra is a mediocre bowler with no killer instincts..further he is a liability in fielding.. he couldnt get the winning runs,,instead he be kept for bringing towels and water..

How can you expect a tailender to get you the winning runs????????his batting sucks and thats why you call him a bowler and not an allrounder?
the batsmen ! if India were to win the series it has to be the batsmen as the bowlers will take a beating in these DEAD PITCHES!! If the batsmen fail India will lose the series!

Well i would disagree as the bowlers that we have chosen have all performed well in Indian conditions,guess its who performs best on their day.

Indian bowling is very predictible and Aussies have analysed them thourougly! all these matches are HIGH SCORING ones andonly the Batsmen can swing the game in Indian favour!

Aussies are a great side no doubt abt that but it would be unfair to say that they have analysed the Indian bowlers,as for the high scoring well only one match has been over and it would be interesting to see how the Kotla pitch responds considering the champions league matches. Its gotta be an allround performance to beat the Aussies no matter where they play.

I think ur in favour of 20-20 players...sorry they cant win matches.for india. Dravid is absolute necessary for team india...it's nonsense to comment abt his ability and skill level in one day cricket

Yusuf Pathan is a waste, so many chances...get Irfan Pathan instead and Munaf in place of Amit/Harbhajan

Just tell BCCI to do match fixing.. then even if the above team does not play and some useless guys also plays then India will win.. No wonder this match fixing is already happening.. lee, hopes added to the injured list.. One thing is there.. A fit Bret Lee means Ausssie will win 6-1 hands down.. even if Shewag scores 100 in 75 balls.. as aussie batsman can score even 400 against india attack any day.

Well his job was to bowl and he isnt an all rounder you know,as for the last shot,dont you think it was a good ball and not much could have been done????We cant expect a tailender to win us the match,most of the batsmen failed and hence this result.
Re: Re: We need to check the Attitude...
by SANDEEP PATIL on Oct 27, 2009 03:45 PM
Sorry to say but we would have preferred that going through his stumps if he swings his bat... we were not expecting a spectacular hit from him but just a wild swing which every indian is capable of even me.
