In 2011 people said that this wc team was not well balanced....many predicted their getting knocked out in the first round itself...
''prof'' dino jones claimed that india have no chance whatsoever to win the wc because their bowling is weak...we went on to win the wc nevertheless...
this time ''prof'' dino jones once again claims that india has no chance whatsoever but this time his reasons are the opposite of the last time...he says this time the indian batting is very weak...well lets see...
Its not about having world class bowlers its about working as a team to minimize damage while bowling. For e.g. South Africa have the strongest bowling line up for years. But many ICC tournaments have they won??

a decision has been made to select the team and the team is already selected. no ifs and buts at this point of time. whether we win or lose, we are going to do it as a team. team spirit is the motto. common guys, go and rock. dont get bogged down by reputations of the opposition and dont get complacent..forget about playing well in patches, you should play well for the entire 100 overs..take inspiration from the champions trophy triumph which you did when most of you all were inexperienced..
compared to some teams,india has less big hiTTers. oz has very good hiTTers.also sa,even england. rahane not big hiTter, kohli also.not rayudu not zadeja. all depend on raina and dhoni really if opener fails. always i seen in 40 to 50 over situation, somebody has to HIT..not wait till 45 or 47th over especially with 5-6 wickets in hand

oz confident to 8th wicket to hit. india only to 6th wicket.ashwin,zadeja,sharma,shami,bhuvi cant hit.

dhoni has just phoned me and told me.."you idoit, i have to be there till end,only then runs scored.otherwise in 42over all wickets gone" ok,dhoni sir, you know best
compared to before india has good physique pacers now. as good as goRa teams. but no real strike pacer like MJ,anderson,steyn. hopefully we will have soon
Re: good physique bowlers now

MJ and Anderson only good in home.Steyn is one of the All time great fast bowler.

Anderson has done well in India also during their last tour,he is a swing bowler and can do reverse swing with the old ball,so he can be handful on any surface.He has failed only in OZ.
The bowling of Indian team was not strong even in 2011. I still remember the comment of Dean Jones after India tied to England in 2011 as "With this bowling attack Indian is day dreaming to win the world cup".But India still went to win the world cup. So dont worry about bowling too much, we have strongest of batting lineup.

Right. Its not about having world class bowlers its about working as a team to minimize damage while bowling. For e.g. South Africa have the strongest bowling line up for years. But many ICC tournaments have they won??
only yuvrajs shoes to fill.but now rohit,dhawan,kohli have more experience. munaf patel was terrible. yadav is much better.yadav better than sreesanth also.
bhaji spot taken by ashwin-zadeja. ashwin-zadeja are the best combo.not wicket takers but best tiGHt bowling. only suresh raina has big question mark over head ..but otherwise a good team.
Re: it is almost balanced..
by Dev on Jan 15, 2015 10:24 AM
that guy yadav need heavy bowling coaching. good physique and style but he lacks variety. wheras bhuvi with less physique is much more impressive.
Re: it is almost balanced..
by Hemanth ThankaSwamy on Jan 15, 2015 10:43 AM
Sreeshanth was way better than this spray gun-Yadav.watch his spells vs SA.too bad he got corrupted by greed.
Yes this team has got dhoni....and good attacking batsman like kohli and rahane....rohit sharma... bowlers just need their length ishant will do..and shami need shaping...umesh can turn the situation...more over axar patel..and binny has got power..in addition we have to add shikar dawan..and raina as 11 makes the perfect winning combination.
Re: this team will win
by Hemanth ThankaSwamy on Jan 15, 2015 10:44 AM
Shami will have to take wickets while Umesh give 44 run in every 3 overs heheheh
