Why did not score well in 2nd innings then?
by t xz on Jan 10, 2012 10:54 PM  | Hide replies

How come on the same wicket the Aus were able to take wickets consistently? I am pretty sure that even if India had batted on 2nd and 3rd day they would still have not scored 500. The fact is that India bowling is sub standard and cannot bowl out top quality sides on decent batting wickets. India has conceded 500 plus runs 3 times in last 16 tests while the batsmen crossed 300 2 times in last 16 innings abroad.While bowling has always been India's weak link, India's batting in the past would post big totals and enabled India to draw many games and win some. However recently they have lost that edge in the batting and that should tell the story that the team will not be able to compete consistently well abroad (unless something dramatically changes)

Nothing will work

Zaheer, no matter how hard u or ur team mates try, the writing is on the wall. Result will be 4-0....
Indian team simply lacks the talent and stamina needed to win on overseas tours.

Better play against the Australian women's cricket team and hope u can win against them.

Just mock and laugh by reading this compared to Aussie bowlers

Melbourne was fantastic," Zaheer said. "We always put the team under pressure as a bowling unit. Everyone chipped in. Everyone bowled in good areas. Sydney, I felt the wicket on the first day and the second day there was a big difference. No excuses, but everyone could see that as the match progressed the wicket kind of eased off. That nip and movement in the pitch was not exactly the same as the first day. Considering all that, we have put in a good effort as a bowling unit. Going forward we are confident as a bowling unit of taking 20 wickets."

Zaheer did admit that they needed to finish things off better. "As a bowling unit we have been doing the right things," he said. "It all depends on the conditions as well, but in helpful conditions I still believe this Australian line-up can be put under pressure. We have been kind of getting them under pressure, and then just letting go of the momentum a little bit. There are a few areas we need to focus on. I am sure in the coming matches we will be able to rectify that."

India will definately loose perth test & sachin will not be able to make century there. No body in Indian team will be able to save the match.

Get our act together
by vinu thomas on Jan 10, 2012 05:40 PM

Lets get our act together first.Zaks has become a medium pacer doing ball tricks from the time he started just to keep going in the tour.Its better he knows where he stands instead of carrying on bowling and breaking down like he did in England.Please dont do it just for the money and IPL look after India and its attack which is being made fun when you trot like a injured horse and shorten your run up.
