    Indian pace trio??

    Wonder if Roger Binny could be a template for Praveen Kumar. Binny, of course, also a medium pacer whose only weapon might have been swing (& smarts) did quite well both the times he played in England: highest wicket taker in the 1983 WC and in the 3 test series in 1986: 12 wickets at an average...

    *Official* - India in West Indies

    Today's predicament of the WI strengthens the thinking that the #6 should be chosen with a view to all-round capabilities (unless you have a couple of folks in 1-5 who can turn their arm). If your WK is a good batsman, then promote him to 6 and go with 5 bowlers or a "utility" player. In the...

    *Official* - India in West Indies

    Didnt know about the ban, recalled his part time OBs in his previous international stint. Kirk Edwards makes his FC bowling debut, and we are really glad that SRT is not in the batting lineup :laugh:

    *Official* - India in West Indies

    Munaf bowling in the mid-130's it seems. If he can do that consistently, he's a good complement to Zaheer + Ishant with his line+length

    India squad for England to be picked on July 2

    There is irony in the Badri situation. He did poorly in the ODI, but except for one knock - so did Raina. But Raina was not under the scanner - for whatever reason - and his captaincy contributions meant that his ODI series was not perceived badly. So Raina gets a chance in the WI test series...

    India squad for England to be picked on July 2

    Also, whose love child is W Saha for him to be continuously picked in the squad? Did Parthiv stuff up in the ODI series - as a WK?

    India squad for England to be picked on July 2

    Selectors probably were also thinking of the 5th bowling option - a role that Sehwag had been filling (and imho, they should). That's the one consideration that marks out these two ahead of the others. Raina has redeemed himself in the WI test series so far, the batting has not been easy and he...

    Who's the better batsman: Brian Lara or Rahul Dravid?

    Lara is of course the better batsman overall, and the champion of the modern era in putting up really really big knocks. So a general poll like this goes to Lara. But who would I want to bat for my life? (Greatness tempered with consistency..) SRT > Dravid, Kallis, Ponting > Lara In the...

    What conditions would you want for your team?

    His best batting performance in tests probably came in England 4 years ago. I.e. the 75 odd run stand for the last wicket, which enabled Kumble to score his only ton and took India from 590 to 660-odd.
