Yes Mr. Clarke..You had almost the same team barring a few players who had thrashed India 4-0 down under on bouncy tracks, celebrating with your teammates having beer n partying hard thinking ur were an unbeatable team where our Indian team were in the same sitiuation where you are in now (raha bhi na jai, saha bhi nai jai). We will make sure u go down 4-0 here...What goes aroun, comes aroun.
Since SA tour is scheduled at the end of year and none of young Indian batsmen got much experience. Two most experienced batsmen Sachin and Viru are most unlikely visitors, so will India be able to draw a single match? Time will tell !!! for a while congratulations India and hope this winning keeps happening for long time.

The batting on Indian tracks without a trace of grass is a sure shot way to disaster in SA.BCCI is so short sighted that they are compromising the future of team by preparing tracks that are only in our continent.Winning in home condition is vital for every team but world beaters like England in 60's & lately, W.Indies in 80's,Australia in last two decades & South Africa recently always won in all conditions

So you think that BCCI should have prepared fast tracks as to allow Aussies to win all the four tests and whitewash India? At least, when things are under our control and we are good on a spinning pitch, why not encash the opportunity?

agree. v shud play to our strength. if ausis can prepare wkts for theirstrength, then y cant v? n whats so shameful in that? only thing is to judge quality of our players who can really play on bouncy wkts n dont blindly follow the track record on dead tracks.

agree. ind's tour to sa vl b difficult one. n our batters r fragile on bouncy tracks.
Sachin can help them maybe. He helped them so many times by getting out for zero with them on many occasions and also getting his collegues out to make records.

Hey Jaggu, Sachin has best records against Australia. Wiriting just for the sake of writing against Tendulkar ? Check your brains and records baby...

@JAGDISH (HEW TiYe, IN LAST 17 YRS, IND AUS PLAYED 11SERIES OUT OF WHICH SACHIN HS BEEN MAN OF SERIES THRICE (IND WS WHITEWASHED IN AUS, STILL SACHIN WS MOS)...
I DNT SAY DIS, WIKIPEDIA SAYS SO...
IF U R SoN OF 1PHADER, DEN PROVE DIS WRONG, ELSE GO N SEARCH 4 UR REAL PHADER...
The BCCI and Dhoni must be feeling elated beating a hapless underdog like Australia on home soil. The Aussies recently lost their home series to both England and SA though they whacked India 4-0. But the next series for India is against SA in SA and it is to be seen if India can reach 200 in any of the innings. No point preparing pitches to suit bowlers like Ashwin who can never take wickets on foreign soil.

do you think if india go to aus,sa,eng they will prepare spin wickets,surely not they will have hard bouncy wickets so they should accept that it and play it is the nature pitches in each country and india should always prepare spin wickets but they should alternatively make arrangements for our players to be prepared how to play in hard bouncy wickets bowlers and batters this is the job of bcci with the help of retired players asking how to do not change the nature of pitch of international matches to change but make alternative domestic pitches where in we can play
Re: Re: Why this euphoria?
by Sivakumar V on Mar 05, 2013 10:08 PM
absolutely correct view. Every country prepares pitchs to suit the type of players they have. Nothing wrong with our country doing the same.
Re: Re: Why this euphoria?
by vinay on Mar 05, 2013 10:26 PM
true. players shud b given chance to acclimatise with bouncy pitches as well at domestic level. some for selection to bouncy pitch matches, bcci shud ignore performances made in ipl n clearly go by the quality of batsmanship.
well the next test is in Mohali and you can be sure that aus will go with 4 pacers. now the best part is will our batsmen stand up to the pacers on a bouncy mohali track?

In this test match, Sehawag did not see or hear the edge of ball to the keeper and he could not see umpire as well directing him to walk off,? with such huge pace and bouncy track of Mohali, it is better to make Sehawag the 12th man and take rest behind the boundary line
Re: mohali
by pradeep agarwal on Mar 05, 2013 07:02 PM
There is nothing wrong in preparing tracks that suits home team.It is however, important to also ensure that cricket is enjoyed by crowds
Re: mohali
by Krish on Mar 05, 2013 08:22 PM
Mohali used to be a seamer wicket, bounce was actually lower. But if curator can change the Chennai wicket from bounce-swinging type in Dec to bounce and turn in Feb, then we can expect even the seam to vanish in Mohali esp with summer setting in the North.
Pitches in India have changed since a year where team batting first is collapsing with a lower score let it be England, Australia or India.
Pitches in India is providing good support for the faster bowlers & spinners in day one.
Day two & three have become good for batting.
Fourth & fifth day again suited for spinners.
So I firmly belive & to test the same, you can check it when third test starts between Australia & India. Team batting first will collapse no matter who is batting first.

Reputation of winning the toss in India, batting first & scoring a huge 1st Innings score is a dream of any captain.

Bottom Line is They did it..You Tw*t...and India will face The same When They go to Aus....
IT IS TESTING TIME FOR CLARKE AND COMPANY. HE HAS TO LEAD FROM THE FRONT TO LEVEL THE SERIES. STILL ALL IS NOT FINISHED.SHUD THERE BE ANY CHANCE FOR COMPLACENCY IN THE INDIAN CAMP THE KANGAROOS WILL CAPITALISE.
Re: CLARKE CAN LEAD THE FIGHT BACK
by S Shrikanth on Mar 05, 2013 04:55 PM
I do not think it is testing time for Clarke. The last two test series they played, they lost 2-0 without winning any match. Except for their wonderful performance in 2004-2005, they have always lost in India.
They know it very well that they will not play on turning tracks for the next 4 years.

I think Pujara will have some class in him.Let's see how far he shows his in overseas matches.
