Come on Man. What he is saying abour MSD's defensive field positioning is absolutely correct. He spreads the field for Ashwin whereas some close in fielders could be of terrific advantage to the bowler. He once again relaxes when the opposition tail comes to bat. And Indian bowling, the lesser said the best. They lack even a lit bit of a planning when they bowl. They spray the ball so much any oppostiion batsman will become very calm and start scoring. Look at Aus bowlers. They alway bowl the wicket to wicket line, whereas our bowlers like Ishanth and Zak always bowl outside the off stump. At their pace they will get belted. It is a fact that Indians need to plan and execute a much more aggressive plan on the field. No point in blaming Waugh. Why Waugh, even a low ranked player will say the same thing about India's approach in a test match

proved by indian team

now it has been proved by indian team that if there is even a little bit of support available for fast bowlers then they are not going to surprise us with their good performance.

Doctor more dead pitches in India,where batsmen score for ages and fast bowlers get no reward and this is the Indian team you get.Test cricket dies in India because of this with teams scoring 400 plus regurarly

Inspiration from Indian Bowlers!!
by Umesh Gautam on Jan 05, 2012 08:27 AM

All 4 Lead Indian bowlers, Ashwin, Zak, Yadav and Ishant, have brought up their hundreds and they will be hoping that the Indian Lead batsmen will emulate their bowling performance. That, probably is what the rest of India will be hoping too.

Great strategy by Dhoni
by Face Dude on Jan 05, 2012 08:12 AM

Dhoni is doing a great job of rotating the bowlers in sydney test…. So that everyone gives equal amount of runs to Aussies batsmen.. (all around 150 runs apiece!)

1) that way burden on one bowler is reduced
2) all bowlers are equally affected
3) there is a sense of friendship and comaradiere in the team
4) the bowlers don’t get upset at the end of the day

Amazing stuff this Dhoni.. Appreciate your maturity and captaincy.

Whenever Dhoni appears, i am reminded of a saying "Khuda Meherbaan to Gadha Pehelwaan".

Danke ki chot par. Well said. Aus are showing us that we cant buy them like the world cup or other teams. Dhonis worth is now known. Cunning. Lomdi hai dhoni jisne sach dravid jaise lions ki shikar par apna pet bhar liya.
