A lot is being said about Indian winning streak and the 'talent'. somethings are right and some are pure imaginations.
what is so good about beating bowling disabled Oz. their best seamer was Shane Watson. piling up runs on dead tracks was very boring to watch. Krejza was impressive and reminded of old days of spin bowling. Shane Warne was the last one who bowled conventional loops. Like harbhajan of 2001 or mishra of mohali. lets see how far he goes. I like Sehwag bowling. Wish he becomes regular. the only good match to watch was mohali. good track. reward for good batting. reward of good bowling. Rest was why Test cricket is out of fashion. but frankly there are no reasons to be on high that we have beaten Oz. it was not the Oz we know. and remember, a defeat was not far either in banglore and nagpur.
Ishant is one of my current favourites. he can be the biggest thing since Sachin. a lot of other people had promise in past but Ishant is the most likely to deliever. with likes of McGrath and swing bowlers dominating, we had forgotten the what was the genuine tearing fast bowling after Allan donald or Ambrose and Walsh. tall, higher bounce, accurate, excellent seam delieveries. harminsons and flintoffs carry the art but are inconsistent.
now what do i call noise? dhoni- excellent leader(best) but i would like to see how good he bats in South Africa and Australia. Fab four are fab four bcuz they scored all over the world against every kind of attack. same with Yuvraj. Satan @ dead tracks but he cant play quality spin. As Simple As That. He must work that out. and he does not have good record when the bowl seams around. Habhajan singh always bowls flat.
and what is so great about scoring 387 on one sided track. where bowler thinks that he bowled a good over as long as he's not been hit for a boundary. today was a better track. see i like to see a competition. between bat and bowl. one sided contests re turn offs. like recent test series.
and now bowling comparisons. Indian new ball attack is sure no2. Oz is third only when lee is on form. and where clark is potent(not in india). English attack looks so better with Broad. he was bowling well in England. but so did debasis mohanti. he is a good prospect and unusually for England, he is just 22. perhaps, what i am trying to say is that there will be better cricket with England around than Oz. test cricket is cricket and one dayers and T20 are the interfaces for people who do not understand cricket(but all the money).
and i forgot to tell that Yusuf Pathan can be India's Symonds. today could be just he the trailer of a academy award sweeper.
