pace bowlers like varun aaron are given chance to perform in the whole series instead of just in one or two mathes in pathes. these guys need to be shown confidence in them for them to perform well. what india lacks in my opinion is some real pace bowling with speeds ranging from 145-150kmph which will definately trouble the english batsmen.
i even strongly feel that the leggy rahul sharma should be given chance in the playing 11 because with good line and length he also has the height advantage due to which he can get more bounce off the pitch and trouble the english batsmen.
I agree with Dravid when he says that to win matches,you need to take twenty wickets.Today we do not have the best fast or spin bowlers.Zhaheer,Bajji,etc are all on the way down.MRF Academy was producing fast bowlers but I don't know how they are doing now. With so much of Money with BCCI why can't we lay a few bouncy wickets similar to ones in England.We can learn to play against the rising ball which was our problem in England. The problem is we forget everything fast.Now we are having the Champions Trophy and then we will have some matches here and we may win a few matches.Take the advice of Kapil,Srinath and others.Till we again go abroad and get beaten,everything will be forgotten.

how are we going to get engish type of wickets in India? Weather is one thing you certainly nan not buy.Think while you write something.
If they play two series against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe and Kenya per year ! And that god Sachin can also score his 100 centuries ! India was never a Number 1 .. winning worlds cup was a chance ..just because it was on flat subcontinent pitches ..they won it! Lets c in the next WC what happens to these actors/cricketers

Our Team did well in ODI mateches&T20. Who cares for Tests Anyway!!! Except Dravid. Shame that we have NOT Banned the Time-wasting and poverty-producing and Monotonous Test Crciket and ALL indians and All spsonsors MUST Shout NO to Test Cricket Now.The Time-wasting Test Cricket, 3 Day Crciket,etc was invented by crooked British Colonizers, like inventing Mahatma gandhee, the british double agent and non-violence to make People of Colonies Lazy&Morrons&vegtables and POOR Forever. The ODI matches and T20 match provided thrilling Cricket Unlike the Monotonous and Time Wasting TEST CRICKET which has wsted Millions of man or woman hours of our country and MADE US POORER too and this wastage of millions of working hours has been happending for the past 50 years and MORE and that is why we indians are 50 years behind China which does NOT have this anti-national time-westing game of TEST CRICKET. What a shame!

i think these people are not qualified to speak about test cricket bec how can one link cricket and poverty these people have forgotten that india has won two world cups and hosted three world cup thereby generating more business and turnover and as far as test cricket is concerned its a game from whom these short version of game have evolved and is being played for more than 200 years and we should really thak the englishmen for their contribution just cricket can unite the entire india.

Were we world champions before the IPL? Dravid is right, we need to find real fast bowlers who have variety and good spinners to do well. We don't have that right now.
These Pakistanis can only bark in the dark after their days are over.. does he know writing?? I would like to carry his book wipe off my ass!! Hope the quality of paper could carry the weight of my shit more that his bakwaaas!!

It is time to BAN Tests NOW.The ODI matches and T20 match provided thrilling Cricket Unlike the Monotonous and Time Wasting TEST CRICKET which has wsted Millions of man or woman hours of our country and MADE US POORER too and this wastage of millions of working hours has been happending for the past 50 years and MORE and that is why we indians are 50 years behind China which does NOT have this anti-national time-westing game of TEST CRICKET. What a shame that patriotic citizens and leaders have NOT BANNED such a time-wasting game as TEST CRICKET and NOT enacted the law which states that ONLY ODI or short versions oc criket macthes MUST be played ONLY During Week-ends or Holidays so that our country does NOT become another african poor nation sooner or later. May be Anna Hazare and Patriots and RSS&BJP&VHP cadres MUST maka National Agitation to BAN TESCT CRicket Forever too.
See Shoib Akthar's interview on TV channels now.He says that Tendulkar was scared of him and Dravid played for himself.They were never match winners.This will appear in Rediff shortly today
