Replace Harbhajan and Mukund with Zaheer and Sehwag, I assure you that this team will look a lot better.
Let's not forget, on fast and swinging tracks, England are definitely a better side. I would have been surprised if England didn't come back strong. Broad has been amazing, so have Bell and Bresnan.
If India don't get Zaheer and Sehwag back, England will wipe floor with this Indian team yet again.
What is the latest news on Zaheer and Sehwag? They are undoubtedly great players and it looks like you are missing them for sure. Any chance of getting them back in. I have to admit it looks like young Mukunds confidence has totally gone after a promising start. Thank god for his sake that Bresnan put down that chance which would have given the young lad two golden ducks
Any chance your boys can pick themselves up and get back into the series at Edgbaston. 2:2 would not be a bad series?
"Replace Harbhajan and Mukund with Zaheer and Sehwag, I assure you that this team will look a lot better."
Well there's the problem then.
Today Bresnan, Tremlett's replacement scored 90 runs and took 5 wickets. One of our most reliable batsman was injured during this match, couldn't bat at 3, but Bell stepped up and made a 100.
CRUSHED 'EM YOU GUYS WERE ANIAHLATED BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD INDIA looked like your lads were batting with carrots
To be honest fellas, we are well aware that England won today, and we know about our strengths but I am trying to find out how India can make more of a game of it in the next 2 tests. Do they have anybody else who can come in. I feel that when we get their 3 star batsmen out, it's just too easy to run through the rest of them. Is that guy Raina any good usually? What on earth is Dhoni doing? Scoring ducks, bowling, can't take the ball behind the stumps. All seems chaotic to me.
How do you get that carrot?!
< carrot > (without spaces )
You sir, are a fricking genius
I was wondering that too WTBA and bear with me whilst I have a go lol Not sure what the "batting with carrots" line means but I like the carrot anyway pmsl
Maksi...to me the indian team are not looking interested, i would say Fletcher is the worse thing that could've happened to india....he is kak as a coach...
What would worry me about India is the legends are ageing.
Zhan and Sehwag are becoming injury prone.
Raina and Yuvi don't have half the level of class as other batsmen. What ever happened to Kohli? I thought we was great!
the worrying thing is that the new boys aren't up to much.
who has scored runs on this tour? dravid, laxman and a bit of SRT.
when they go, india go.
i think we can all see that India are going to go the same way as australia after the mass retirement of 2007. the difference, however, is that australia had made no attempt to wean in the fresh blood, which did, and to an extent does, exist; whereas india have tried out some younger players, like mukund and raina, but as topdawg says, they don't seem to be nearly as good as the players that they will have to replace in the not too distant future. Therefore, whereas i am sure that australia will bounce back, and be very strong in a couple of years, india do not seem to have the players or the grassroots organisation to produce generation upon generation of competitive teams. it may appear that this current genaration of great indian players might just be a one off.
This is not to say that i don't want india to bounce back after decline, or simply remain very strong; i very much hope that india continue to compete at the very best level in test cricket, but i have grave concerns over the not too distant future of indian test cricket.
