Akhter on Indian talented Pacers!

[luckyeddie]

Do stop kidding yourself, warrioryohannan.

You are becoming tedious.

 

[warrioryohannan]

If anyone is kidding right now, then its gotta be the English batters who can't even thrash bowlers whose ave are in late 30s and are good enough for all of us to label them as worst ever!

 

[luckyeddie]

Utter drivel!

The fault lay with the English bowling and captaincy, not necessarily with the English batters today.

The wicket is a 280-300 pitch, Not a 600-650 one.

India have bowled correctly in the conditions, Ganguly applied pressure at the right time and it's about time we saw two spinners in the Indian team.

And when did we ever claim that this English Team is anything approaching great?!

 

[marc71178]

That's the key point. At no point have we praised England to the hilt and made outrageous claims about England being the best side in the world.

In fact the only people I can remember saying the English batting line-up is great are the likes of warrioryohannan.

And to put this into context. I wonder how India would fare without Tendulkar and Dravid?

Indeed i said that, that was sarcasm ofcourse.

As to ,how India will fare without Tend/Dravid, well how is Aus going to fare without McGrath and Warne? How is Pak going to perform without Inzi/Youhanna, how is SA going to fare without Kallis/Gibbs???
Dumb question!

 

[marc71178]

I was just pointing out that England's best 2 batsmen, messrs Thorpe and Trescothick are missing from the line up.

I was questioning how India would like missing their best 2 batsmen.

This post is about talented Indian pacers, isn't it? Well, there still isn't any, atleast not in this current squad.

 

[warrioryohannan]

Mark,
Even with those two England did nothing in the test series in INDIA, besides England never have an injury free squad, wonder how they keep maintaining unfit?

Anil,
those talented Bowlers have brought India near to a historic win, its a pity that u can't see that!

erm i thin that test series was actually quite close, 2-1 or 1-0 to india. in india with a young team thats quite good.

instead of dismissing englands batsmen why dont u look at the stats. if u took just this series into account and not any other matches ever played u would have to say england and indias batsmen are about the same and englands bowlers are better than indias. in truth indias batting line up is probably stronger than englands but englands has more lower order batting.

altho i admire yur entusiasic support of india you should not call indias bowlers gr8 after one good performance and call englands as a team bad after one quite shocking performance, especially by the bowlers.

Warrior: (man get a small name..hehe)

Zaheer is the only bowler with any potential of becoming a test level bowler.

Nehra:Sucks at fielding. Just a swing bowler. Recently changed his action and run up and is not the same bowler. He has performed only against ZIMB and in patches in windies.No stamina.
He has to improve in all areas.

Agarkar: My granma cant see a bus at 10 ft. But i am sure she can pitch the ball in and around the stumps more consistently.
He has no discipline to be test bowler. Has to curb his machismo.

Honestly tell me ..he has been in the team for 5 yrs now.But every time he bowls i just think...hope fully he wont spray. It is abt time some one else got a chance.

If u still thuink he has potential..well..i dont have anything to say

WHy hasnt yohannan got a chance? some times the moves that the indian team management makes is so stupid.

Tis abt time to try new pace bowlers..

cheers scorpio

A close fought series in which Thorpe hardly paid a part you mean, hence we didn't have him.

 

[warrioryohannan]

Sulphate,
I don't know what u mean by gr8 ? is it a code word or what?

Mark,
Indeed Thorpe played only a single test in India, but thats how the Englisjmen play cricket these days, none is fit enough to play a whole series!!

Sulphate,

gr8 means great. as in the 8 is pronounced the same as the eat in great.

sorry txt language spilled over into a post :rolleyes:

 

[marc71178]

Right, so when you are proved wrong, you counter it with a most stupid comment? Nice way of debating, but not how we do it on Cricketweb (unless you're Neil in disguise of course) 8D

 

[Neil Pickup]

Since when have I used that tactic?

And isn't that just a touch on the hypocritical side (Grimsby Town... Champ Manager... Dutch Players... "Hair Lengths" I believe...) 2-2

 

[marc71178]

I honestly have no idea what you are on about - hair lengths?

Direct me to the thread where I used those connections please, I'd like to find out what I said!

 

[Neil Pickup]

I'll struggle to find it, I'll try...

 

[Neil Pickup]

Quite the opposite - I'd welcome discussions like this as far more interesting then "Grimsby have x and y with 2 points too liittle for combing their hair before the game"

In response to the Ermes/Busscher issue...

 

[marc71178]

LOL. I thought you meant on this forum!

Go on, fess up - who are you on that forum then?

Actually reading that thread, someone agreed with me!
