Bowling Attack

What a drubbing. Truly listless. What has become of Indian bowling without Zaheer? It should truly be agonizing to watch for Indian fans. You must have a good bowling attack to challenge England in England.

We will have a great bowling attack when we import a dozen fast bowlers from Lahore.

The Peace Agreement being negotiated is for real I hear.

haha that Sehwag thing was so sweet. Deserves it for going off the field yesterday. This is the most humiliating performance by a so called number 1 in in test cricket. If this was Bangladesh we'd be hearing the calls to drop their test status.

HHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Auwais]

just quietly, england are going to rip india a new one here. england are famously useless starters in series...they have already done enough here to say they will not lose a test here. KP back in touch - look out. england have a habit of making tough wickets look relatively easy, without taking any damage. india hasn't got the fire power in their bowling.

how fat is khan? wow i made that observation long before the pom commentary team wrote him off. their second best bowler is a medium pacer who is in the conditions of his life and still isnt penetrating.

so much respect for england after they smashed us in australia. anderson...well i thought he was wicked in england and thought he was a one trick pony. but that guy has come a long way. sure he is a skinny metrosexual twat who tires his best to look tough....but he's the most damaging bowler in the world in home conditions. he proved us all wrong in aus - he's brillliant in all conditions - if only he lost the boy band look before he tried to act tough - he would gain the other players respect.

the only weak link england have is broad...and hes always been the weak link. if they could only over look him, there would be england in first...and the second would be a long way back. hes not a batsman...unless he faces the cheating pakis. flynn, while wayward in the ashes - has 300% more talent than broad and shouldve been give more time. with the south african 3/4 who are as tough as nails....and bell finally realising his potential - there's no need to have a half bowler/ half batsman / mostly cr*p player like broad.

india were only ever going to be at the top for a series or two. they spend too much time on flat wickets making records and making rules to suit themselves. they are old and finished...dravid/laxman/sachin - legendary players, but there's nothing that's come in behind them to make their success last. their bowling attack is old, fat and also at the end of their time.

first time i'll ever go for england - but they have been on the cusp for 6 years. its only taken a south african in charge to stop them from being sucked into their ridiculous sporting culture of mediocre (read soccer team) and they do deserve it. they will smash india. and i dare say....even the weakest australian team in 25 years will smash this mob when they come down under later this year.

Spot on so far, disregarding the bit about Broad and the use of the epithet "Pakis".

Just in case anyone is unclear on the forum rules regarding the use of the word "paki" (this has come up before) we don't care if you think it's culturally acceptable in Australia, it's not acceptable in the UK so therefore it doesn't get used.
Oldish post though...

I'd like to see India score about 450 in the second innings with a century from Laxman.

Will ICC be taking any action against this? Or the Indian Domination of the ICC will save Sehwag? I mean if it was some Pakistani player caught doing the stuff like this, would he have escaped? I don't think so He'd have.

 

[Auwais]

I remember Dravid was fined for using a cough lozenge a few years back.

Yep. This is just another vindictive Pakistani member (there are good ones like sami and BKB) who wants to play Devil's advocate because he creams himself when India do something wrong or badly.

Addy, the cricketing world looks skeptically at Pakistan with good reason. Their players have a history of getting into all sorts of controversies. They have earned that reputation with cases like Aamir's, Asif's, Butt's, Malik's, Kaneria's, Kamran's etc.

I wouldn't mind it if Sehwag were fined and banned. He doesn't even want to play.

Now please Don't divert the topic, They've got what they fully deserve.

 

[Auwais]

In any case, it'd probably benefit India more if he was banned after that King Pair.

And yes, the harsh reality is that we deserve all the scepticism we get as a cricketing nation after what's happened in the past.

 

[Addy]

I should make a brand new thread on this I guess, else this will be burried here in no time

 

[pcfan123]

all the mint munching in the world aint going to help those sorry ass fast bowlers

 

[ferg512]

Wow, just woke up and saw the Sehwag king pair, could not stop laughing. I'm a bit disappointed Strauss declared actually, I might have given Bresnan a chance for the hundred..

At least we don't bite the ball.

Cmon, at least we don't bite the ball.

as if he has done something to be proud of? And Afridi was banned for a game or 2 for that thingy. So this fried chickening Roaster arse should also be banned What say?
