    Who is the best current International Coach

    Yes that was Melbourne, there were two tests before that. He bowled pretty well before breaking down after the exhauston of Adelaide.

    Who is the best current International Coach

    And explains why Murali picked up so many wickets. Sri Lanka's batting and support bowlers let them down. I was following it, though not every minute. And it anyway appears you didn't see any of the India tours you are pointing out. Hard to understand that? I'm not you, but you are beginning...

    Who is the best current International Coach

    Before Australia I think the last away tour was NZ, and if that's the case then NZ was a horrible excuse for test cricket. And even so that was a long time ago and India have changed a lot now. And we have been very inconsistent because of constant injury. If not for Zaheer's injury (and of...

    Brisbane does have excellent drainage facilities but surely after it rained for so long the pitch won't change back so drastically.

    Counting it as an away tour.....though the Pakistani bowling attack is nothing like any other sub-contnent attack. We faced red-hot fast bowling, a better attack than England for sure, and we won there after 15 years of domination by Pakistan.

    And if you compare the batting, man to man or as a unit, if you compare the catching, India's is better. If you compare the captaincy, India's is better. And these days more often than not, batting wins matches. And man to man bowling, you'd get Kumble far better than Giles and Pathan even or...

    Resort to that when you have no more trash to say.....and not funny either. Yeah well first learn not to change topics abrubtly. We were talking about Lee bowling to them at Melbourne. Now you resort to changing the subject! :dry: It's the best in most conditions. Even Australia can't play...

    Who is the best current International Coach

    I made it clear that i was just quoting what you said. "England have similar conditions to NZ at home like you said.....so they did better in NZ." I said England may get hammered, though I shouldv'e known that for England the conditions in New Zealand won't be all that difficult.

    England have similar conditions to NZ at home like you said.....so they did better in NZ.

    Who is the best current International Coach

    Shows just how much of the game you saw... You see Australia doing it... You didn't see that game....it shows beause Gillespie didn't play in that game. The conditions in New Zealand were far worse than in England. We didn't do too badly in England either. Like look at South Africa, they...

    India came back with a respectable 1-1 draw from Australia, unlike England's drubbing.

    Yeah but don't get too carried away by how England are doing against NZ now at home, when they play in NZ they may well falter in those extreme conditions like they did in Sri Lanka.

    Who is the best current International Coach

    Yeah and India had to face these conditions too....and did better. 8-) I think the wicket had pace and bounce till the final day. Yeah so Australia won the match, because of one session of poor batting from the Indians.....Do I need to remind you of Sehwag's innings? 195 from 225 odd balls with...

    Who is the best current International Coach

    sure NZ drew the series here and it was commendable, but India are not the benchmark......Just because India have been beating Australia at home for the past 34 years doesn't make them a better team. You have to think a little more TEC... I think we have a promising pace attack, and we have two...

    Who is the best current International Coach

    So South Africa struggled in New Zealand, will you say NZ are beter than SA? Just like in India, NZ home conditions favour them way too much. We've been thrashing most teams at home all along, but we were never near the best in the world then - Australia and South Africa. Pakistan are very...

    unfortunately just when it looked like that would be improved, it won't be possible for another 2 years.

    Who is the best current International Coach

    Yes because we on the series. 8-) And the team has to remain stable without so many injuries to be consistent. Ability-wise, they can be consistent.
  19. chicane

    Who is the best current International Coach

    Yes exactly so in the last 7 tests the consistency has improved, we've won 3, lost two and drawn two.

    Who is the best current International Coach

    When India beat England in Headingly, the wicket was nowhere like it had to be. When India were in Australia, the pitches were all flat and favoured the batsmen. When India went to Pakistan, all pitches were flat and favvoured India and some matches were fixed....... 8-)
