And this team was supposed to give Australian team a tuff time.:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
If your looking for a crap bowling attack I suggest you look at your own attack. England can barely be described as crap.

Hahaha qustions are being ask as if anyone in England can play cricket atall, and you think they can't be described as crap??

India won 2 test matches against England and lost 1 in the last two series.
What did your great bowler did???

Except for Injured Gough, all are crap!

Evan if we don't include Balaji, even then Indian bowlers are much better than brits bowlers.

Apart from better test record against England, India have atleast 2 specialists and decent pacers in Khan, and Srinath, and two spinners in Harb and kumble.

As for England, they have Caddick and Hoggard, two mediocre pacers, and thats about it!

Right...lets see...All India's speciallist pacers averaged over 40 in England including the highly rated Khan...and out of England's players? Nope...none averaged over 40...and this against a highly rated Indian batting lineup. Oh...and according to most people our battings crap, so either India's bowlers were REALLY REALLY bad or our batmen were REALLY REALLY good...I think its a mixture of the 2.

I would also like to know what your great bowler did...or to be more specific, where he went! All the Indian Pacers including Zaheer averaged over 40 with the ball and Harbajan and Kumble also suffered.

Anyway don't worry, when you go to Australia they will start questioning weather India have any bowlers at all. England are getting bashed by the press at the moment because they are the ones loosing to Australia, its the way over there. When you loose, expect the same responce from the press...or maybe a stronger responce as they want revenge and if they win they won't shut up about it for AGES belive me.

Also I'm wondering why you are claiming England are crap...England are 1-0 down to the best team in the world while the "Amazing" India are 2-1 down in a ODI series against a team who we crushed a few years ago in both the Tests and ODIs...hell Zimbabwe even beat them, so before you bash England look at the standard of opposition the respective teams are facing. You really don't have an arguement at all.

Why do you only consider the series played in England?? what about the series that was played in India?? Our spinners destroyed England there.

As for Aus questioning whether India have a bowler or not, thats bull****.Its a known fact that Aus have never played Bhajji with confidence, if India doesn't have a bowler then Aus simply doesn't have good batsmen!!

The manner in which your great team lost the match should be taken into consideration! Also, we all know that England won't be able to win a single match in the whole series and will get pasted(atleast i'm confident of that and so is Warne and the Aussies)




[/quote]while the "Amazing" India are 2-1 down in a ODI series against a team who we crushed a few years ago in both the Tests and ODIs[/quote]

Yeah few yrs ago, now WI team is much different.Also, India thrashed them in test matches while the onedayer series is very close at the moment!

No they drew with India in a test series, didn't win the series.Better come up with valid point rather than comming up with distorted facts!

India have only played Harbajan in once series so "allways" is a bit cheeky. Anyway Harbajan has not done anything of the sort since so I doubt the Aussies will be scared...but don't worry, they will start slagging every member of your team off...its the Aussie way.

Australians doesn't play offspin all that well, to say that it happened in a series and he won't or can't trouble them again is illogical.I never said that they are SCARED, just that they will find facing Harb really tuff, especially Ponting & Gilli.

Harb is right now offcolor, thats primarily because of too much cricket.The Aussie series is not round the corner, so your point of him being out of form lately is senseless

I couldn't see how any of your points made any sense in the beginning. Just think about the situation India are in at the moment and stop bothering about England.
 
I can give you the same advice, stop bashing India/Indian cric, worry about your own cricketers who are at the mercy of Australians.
Or at the mercy of Docs in Hospitals:lol:

I have no worries about England. England have set up the basis of a good team which has already began to take fruit. India just seem to be finding more and more problems. The only reason England seem to have problems is because the Aussie media is voicing its own opinions and people are quite strangely listening to.

Thats how you see the things, England for one have the worst fitness record, Gough is out of the WC and there isn't a single match winning bowler in the team.

As for problems in India, the only one at present is to do with the unruly crowds , but it has nothing to do with the team, even injured Sachin and Khan are making quick progress and will be back in the team soon!

Your forgetting that Caddick has won several games almost by himself...yet Khan never has come close...

As a staff member, i got to intervene.

Stick to the topic please, no abuse against India or England is required.

Both teams are good but can be better,
please let sanity prevail.

I agree with you MB, never intended to get into any confrontation with anyone, just didn't like someone passing remarks on me !

As for Caddick winning matches for England, yes he has done it in the past.Khan haven't won matches for India, nor has he been in the team for such a long time as has been Caddick BUT Kumble/Harb/Srinath all have won many matches for India singlehandedly!
