No doubts, I am buying Stynes and Morkels. Alright, the balls that got Vijay and Sachin out were very very good. Very Very good. After such a looong time, we are seeing very high quality bowling.
So we need a tear away bowler. you see, Zak holds his own. But genuine pace is soo destructive. Ishant bowls 135Km these days. Major reason for his ineffectiveness. He used to be good. He needs pace.
Wait, Styne. After 'the name is Bond' Shane Bond, I am seeing this quality for the first time. And what's better? He is not fragile. Lovely.
No mjaor fault of batting. Its not that we don't have good batters. They are exceptional. But it was rusty. Just rusty. they are just not used to this good bowling. never mind. They will come good. This match, next match or maybe down under(this time I mean SA).
Ah. No major hope to save the test. Honestly, if not for some thing exceptional, we may loose by Innings. trust me. We are in for 'humiliation'. LOL. We will come good, sooner or later.
Ok, I'll be very happy but I dont see we bat out tomorrow. Again, I am not discounting India for one bad day. But invariably, our miraculous match saves have come on a good opening. And we are two down now.
Good things- Badri and Murali. They just don't seem out of place here.
bad things- SA showed how bad a bowling machine we are. Needs new parts than mere oiling. Gautam is not comfortable yet. And if you take Dravid out. He is supposed to be the player. Sachin averages 28 against SA at home. With 2 50s and zilch for hundreds column. Dhoni needs more years as a test batsman. He is Stephen Waugh sort of thing. And get Sreesanth man. He is as unpredictable as pakistan but he is the future bowler.
And one exceptional thing- Virender Sehwag, against every conceived theory of batsmanship, bats better to all the better bowlers on planet. Mendis on prime, Murali considering retiring, Styne who else. He has got fools faith. And he is amazing.
