Wasn't Dravid the captain then?Kumble's captaincy has been horrific since the Australia series (wasn't too bad in England- nothing special though).

Australia? Dhoni captained us in the home ODI series that followed the 20-20!Ind33d he was - and in the ODI leg of the Australia tour that followed it.
I'm fairly certain Dravid didn't play in that series - wasn't that the start of the changing of the guard from the Ganguly/Dravid era to the Dhoni era, as far as India's ODI side is concerned?Ind33d he was - and in the ODI leg of the Australia tour that followed it.
I think Dravid played the first few games of that series, and was dropped for the last couple of games.I'm fairly certain Dravid didn't play in that series - wasn't that the start of the changing of the guard from the Ganguly/Dravid era to the Dhoni era, as far as India's ODI side is concerned?
No no, meant the ODI leg of the tour for which the Test leg is taking place as of this post.Getting the ODI series in India and the CB Series mixed up.
Thought you were referring to the CB series, hence my comment about Dravid not playing.
Yeah, got that from the scorecard you linked.No no, meant the ODI leg of the tour for which the Test leg is taking place as of this post.
"Tour by Australia" would probably have been a less confusing description (and the post now reads such a thing).Yeah, got that from the scorecard you linked.
Just when you referred to the "Australia tour" I assumed you meant India's last tour of Australia.
Ah, so he was. Then it's fair to say Kumble's not had a single half-decent series as captain.Wasn't Dravid the captain then?
Hmm. They've both done exceedingly well at 3 and 4 respectively for a long time. Also Hussey is the stronger against the Indian spinners, and whoever comes in at 4 will have to start their innings against them.By the way, how many people think it might be a good idea for Hussey to take over the number three spot and for Ponting to come in at number four ?
I was not thinking of this series but more long term really. Although in India he seems to be more roubled by the pacers than spinnersHmm.

It could work. Why exactly would you try it though?
Hmm, i don't think the trouble with pace is a long-term thing. Sharma just seems to pull one out of the bag to Ponting every time.I was not thinking of this series but more long term really. Although in India he seems to be more roubled by the pacers than spinners
Its just a thought. Nothing concrete. I would like to see if Hussey at number three will give us some big double hundreds for one. Also, maybe, Australia today needs less of strokeplay and more solidity at number three with the openers not the force they were.
As I said, just a thought
