The way Ojha projected about Monty's speed (95kmph) appeared to be a new arsenal in the history the game and current Indian spinners are novice to that.
However, we have seen Anil Kumble bowling more than 100 kmph when required.
Having Kumble as a spin bowling consultant may have been fruitful.
There is no point in talking about Indian fast bowling as India NEVER in the 80 year cricketing existence have created any bowler with average less than 25.
People always fume about Indian pitches for India not producing great fast bowlers. Should this be correct, how come Pakistan and Sri Lanka were able to produce quality fast bowlers whose is average less than 25?
It is really baffling to make a comment that MSD has. MSD has demanded for rank turners openly in media which only helped England rather than India. It is even more painful when MSD made such comments even after an Indian win at Motera. Yes it is true that home advantage is crucial. It should not be at the expense of denting Indian batsmen’s confidence.
Traditionally at least Indian batting at home would click. After MSD's demand for rank turners (even after a win at Motera) and lack of intensity, Indian batting has reached to new lows where any Indian fan may not have witnessed ever in history.
Thanks to the mastermind Dhonni. Who dislikes, Test cricket and can only play IPL with BCCI chief. y? because only IPL will make him Richest cricketer , richer than even Sachin.
Only change indians can do is to change the england passport of Panesar to indian passport.The english players succesfully used the indian spinner panesar to tame indian batsman. Now Dhoni will never say the curators to make spin pitch until we discover new spinners in the caliber of Kumble
Lots of debate on what he has given for cricket for the last 23 years, but then one cannot live on in past glory, and it is time that he takes a decision and quits, with all the old experienced hands saying that his presence is required all the more in the Indian team at present for another year or os, due to his vast experience, i would like to say that the Indian team will be losing out on a similar experience for a youngster, who if blooded into the team now, can gain experience within this one year, and possibly and probably will be an able replacement for Sachin. Hope the selectors will take note of the above suggestion, and bring in youngsters and start building a new team, taking the future into considration.
Against Australia also . If we lose say by gods grace 4-0 against Australia , we will bring the expectations of millions of followers to ground level .ALL IS WELL and we will come and watch IPL ,Dandia .
drop dhoni, zaheer, tendulkar, kohli, yuvraj, ashwin, and bring in saha, dinda or awana, tiwary, badrinath, jadeja, one leg spinner, even if we fail, it would start a new beginning. dhoni useless

hahaha ! but jokes apart... You need quality test cricket and not IPL team. For that you need to change Dhonnai. For that you need to change BCCI chief. All this never happen. Indian cricket is certainly diving deep into the abyss...
Have a new chief. As long as he is also owner if IPL super kings Dhonnai will get favored. India cricket will be in shambles because of this IPL favoritism
Engaland spinners are looking good on a battng pitch because Indian batsman are woefully out of form... Indian Spinners are looking bad only because of Cook and Peterson
