Just chk out the last picture of Raina "avoiding" a bouncer !!!!! His stance itself will make it practically impossible to play pull and hook shot down!In slow indian pitches he can pull the ball to mid wicket but the same shot in Aus will only go down the throat of fine leg !
India certainly can if Cricket Australia prepares suitable pitch for ODI. If they doctor the pitch to favor fast bowlers then cricket will be the real loser as no one will watch these matches.
If Raina is right, looks like they have planned the whole stuff. If that is so, they have got the first half correct, which is not too hard - even Zimabawe could have executed it. Let us see if they will execute the second half right - that is, to win the ODI. Good luck guys

2 digits already we have may be single digit....I think we should not listion these people and we should treat like normal people..
Because the bowling is hamstrung with the flat pitches, batsman friendly rules related with field placement and number of overs per bowler. It is a batsman's fantacy to play in limited over cricket.
