Congrats Team India...lets enjoy...but a small message: Do not be complacent about these two wins..the next is in Mohali which suits the pacers and Australia will bounce back very hard...but kudos to the team...!!
Over next 1 year India will play SA, NZ and Eng in 10 away tests. That will really let you know how good this team is and how good is MSD. Out of his 22 wins, only three (one each in NZ, SA and WI) have come outside the subcontinent. NZ and WI are teams on decline already..so stats do not always tell the real picture

First u ve to see ashwin got 28 overs harbhajan got 10 so deciede for urself who is more like to get wkts..
Our team wins abroad, its no great shakes. These spinners are able to spin the kukaburra ball on pitches in Aus, SA, Eng etc and Batsmen dig in and negotiate pace bounce and movement to put up decent totals , we cannot rejoice wins in Home conditions.
WINNING ON HOME PITCHES IS NO REASON FOR KUDOS AND ESPECIALLY BEFORE A VERY YOUNG AND INEXPERIENCED AUSTRALIAN TEAM.ACID TEST FOR INDIA LIES ABROAD.NO SURPRISE IF INDIA WIN AT LOCAL VENUES.

Yes let us hidden the facts that India is now pay Australia with interest, comission etc for the whitewash in Australia.
If India have to won in Australia then Dravid and Kumble has to be recall.

Bot India and Australian Teams are as ggod as their home pitches. However Australia is a far greater sporting nation than India with their accomplishments in Tennis, Swimming and Hockey and many Olympian sports

If u consider in that way - similar is the case with Australia. They are also kings only in their own backyard.
Murli Vijay is an waste fellow. See he can't able to converted 167 run into double century. See Pujara how he convert 1 50 to 100 to 150 to 200. If someone give 167 run to our Robin Utappa means he easily hit an double century.
All wicket taken by Ashwin is fluke, sometime ball slip from finger and they call it carrom ball. Dhoni is simply come and play like baseball and he get run by edge and sometime meat of bat. It is lucks only.
It all because of that Srikantha my friend. They only selected Chennai peoples in team.

haha..yer funny..but even utappa couldn't convert his 169 runs into 200 when he played goa in vh trophy....what about that?
Re: Re: Murli Vijay is waste
by Basavaraja on Mar 05, 2013 02:39 PM
He play best only in international matches. Just give him an chance and ask him to start from 167. See how easily he hit double century.

come out of your state bias and think like an Indian. Who perfoms well needs accolades. I have been critical of Vijay as he plays lot of ODI shots but the way he anchored the innings and stayed put with Pujara took the game away from Aus. That's important. At least he made his innings count. He is not in the league of a Dravid or a VVS, but surely he played when it was required. Whether he will continue as opener for a longer period will be dependent on his consistency.

u r a good comedian Basavaraja. uthappa can only make utappams. not runs. now it is curtains for kannada players in the team.no more vishwanath to promote kannada fanatics.

It's absolutely correct Engish, Hari. Besting means overtaking someone who has been the best. As Saurav had the highest number of wins, Dhoni has bested Saurav.

by Sharath Mohan on Mar 05, 2013 02:21 PM
guess in mohali, they may not go in with 2 spinners, unless the pitch there is totally different..
Re: Re: Re: aus team for 3rd test
by taklu on Mar 05, 2013 02:25 PM
pattinson may look much better in mohali. he's alreaady impressed inKhaddas so far. fitness is an issue though. for india, they may still go with two bowlers, although jaddu is doing a fine job so far.
Re: Re: Re: aus team for 3rd test
by Ravi Iyer on Mar 05, 2013 05:33 PM
nowadays the pitch in Mohali has slowed down considerably. No longer a fast bowling pitch. So, the same pace-spin combo is required. How can Pattinson be out and Siddle be playing?

I think Usman Khwaja will come in.. I guess the team will be: warner cowan watson clarke Usman wade henriques Pattinson johnson Maxwell lyon
