Agneepath series
by vijay rajan on Dec 31, 2011 03:35 PM

What was originally the Agneepath series could well turn out to be the "Apni toh Phat Gayi" series.

Come on Oz - Go for the Kill

Whip the Indians to submission & make them grovel at your feet. Dismantle their self esteem completely like England did one summer ago. Ruin their reputation that they forget how to spell the word cricket. Rub it in so hard that they bleed from all corners. Let them taste the perfume of humiliation.

It's time Gambhir be limited to Indian pitches,no foot work and no great technique.
Kohli, just wasted Rohit's chance infact India's chance.

it is time to bring on fresh way.

indian pPacer dDelimma and short batsmen

india has two pronged problem.

1. Delimma is indian paceman bowling like Aussies or Angrez bowlers. One of the bowlers has admitted that Mcgrath is his person to follow. that means bowling what videshis are used to.

When indian pacers are bowling against indian batsmen. they are made to bowl like Australian or angrez bowlers such that indian batsmen can be prepared to face opposition. You can see gambhir asking Ishant to mimic opposition bowling for his preparation. Tendulkar asking yadav and zaheer to hit and angle like angrez and aussie bowlers.

Which leaves indian bowlers bowling to aussie batting what they are already used to and have prepared on nets against Aussie bowling. indian dilemma being Indian bowler cCaged into fFeeding indian batsmen.

Instead of preparing to ape videshi bowling, desi bowlers need to on larger extent should focus their bowling on the squares on pitch without desi batsmen and reviewing their bowling (that is recorded) as to how it can counter videshi batting action and moves to hit wicket or get snick by drawing the batting into a catch. reviewing the control swing, angles, rise, etc. Even with practicing videshi style , indians cannot get the videshi bowling style fully and thus desi batting gets flumboxed.


2. Aussies have planned their bowling to tTrouble sShort batsmen. Do we have any tall batsmen with good eye on bBall? Shorter batsmen will have to be a bit

continued ..

Shorter batsmen will have to be a bit better with shot selection as their reach gets limited for rRising bBalls and they have nobody to aApe.
