Each and every member of Indian team has replacements except that one man - Zahir Khan. He is the one and only hero

Bad Idea
by krishna sumanth on Mar 22, 2011 12:11 PM

We have 3 bowlers - Bhajji (overrated), Ashwin and Yuvi who can bowl 30 overs. Yusuf/Raina, Viru can team up to bowl another 10 overs. So, they can bowl 40 overs of Spin if the spin assists spin bowling. They should therefore have 2 fast bowlers (Zak and Munaf) to get the balance. Ashwin can bowl in Powerplays. It may not be a bad idea to get some one like Sreeshanth for the match. He gets under the Aussie skin more than any other Indian

How come yuvraj turns the cricket ball so much as compared to our main spinners?

But still we need to prepare for plan B. What will happen if pitch assists seamers?

Nothing special changes need to be made. Team lineup should be same apart from Raina giving way to Sehwag.

Play with aggression should be the mission. Promote Yusuf top the order, rather say first down no matter what the situation is. He will give u runs & tear apart the aussies bowling for sure.

And coming back to spinners, no changes, Bhajji & Ashwin will do the good job as they did against the WI.

three spinners?
by bookiee on Mar 22, 2011 11:01 AM  | Hide replies

India has more than 3 spinners in the line up but India lacks QUALITY spinner or a spinner with Brain
on paper or on field the current Indian 11 is not capable of beating Aussies eventhough they are depleated side
only possible way is play Mind game : TAKE SREESANTH IRRITATE AUSSIES, Play harbajan when ponting bats, make ghambir charge against Lee,

If so be it, then let the other matches not be played. Have you ever picked up a bat/ball???

Mr. Akram, you are wrong
by Ian Chappell on Mar 22, 2011 10:20 AM

Although you supported the 3 spinners but you must understand the nature of Motera track. It is one of the most placid tracks of the world. You can't change the nature of any track overnight! Once Sachin said in 1998 after playing boring draw test against NZ that they can play for another 5 days and this track will remain placid ! Motera track has always given support to batsman and it is bowler graveyard be it spinners or fast bowlers. The bowler who can do some good on this track will be the one who can bowl quick in the air (like Tait, Lee and Jonson) but it remains to be seen seen how they can bowl on this placid track. As far as spinners is concern they are only spectators on this graveyard and bound to be hit for 6 and 4 !!
SL played 3 spinners because the track was genuine turner like Eden Garden and Chennai's track (Sharp and fast turn so the batter has lesser time to adjust)
