Indian death bowling will be tested if Taylor hangs on.

Me being Bengali doesn't mean I cannot comment on other teams. Part of the Indian population is also Bengali and share pretty much the same culture. Also, I admitted current India bowling is really good, just that I would easily pick the Australian bowling attack of 2015. Whats wrong with saying Australia bowling attack was better when they have won 4 out of last 5 WC, and was at least finalist in 5 out of the last 6 WCs?
 
England bowling is weak. Their batting is very agressive.If there is something in the pitch batting will fail miserably and bowling won't be able to make up. In a big tournament that can easily happen. They have as many weaknesses as India.
 
wow 2 reviews at the same time. Never seen before. India opts for DRS leg before.. then run out later
 
Thats it. Rayudu's in the team to sweet talk the umpire into giving favorable decisions.

Don't you know that India missing their players don't count.
 
Champions trophy is a failed event. That's why it has been stopped. Anyways no one in India took it that seriously. In few years very few will remember that there used to be something called ODI CT.

They won because they had a world class team not just a bowling attack and the attack you gave was a particularly average one just had a few good matches, Aussies won't consider them their best attack let alone world's best attack.

It is worrisome though that our second string attack (or the ones who selectors think are tge second string anyway) are so far behind the quality of the first choice bowling attack. We need a decent bunch on the bench.

The past AUS attack with Warne. McGrath, Gillespie and co.? They were beasts.

2015 Australian attack is not even in the top 5 to be considered as a "scary" line up. They just managed to outbat the opposition. No real variety.

There is no Bumrah in the vicinity. No replacement for him. Thankfully Shami's return to ODIs have vastly improved this attack. Shami has a beastly strike rate. Twice as good as Bhuvi .

Starc was a beast and on another level. The rest were efficient enough to bowl around him.

Not really a threat.Kuldeep is a threat. Chahal is a threat. Bumrah is a threat. Shami is a threat. With new ball even Bhuvi is a threat.

Bumrah is a robot with very high IQ. There are none like him in the world. Can bowl at the start, middle and death. Fizz probably comes close but his new ball bowling isn't as effective
 
Jadhav AKA Chitti the Robo is missing instructions from his master behind the stumps and bowling crap.
 
Come on stop hyping "Dhoni's advice" lol There is no way anyone wanting your bowler to bowl drag downs.

Who is better than them? The South African attack that got thrashed by Luke Ronchi or the English attack that got thrashed by even BD the same year?

Starc's loss of form is a worry for Aussies. Jhye looks good. Zampa, Hazelwood are average. Behrendoff is a one trick pony. Aussie current bowling lineup is not even in top 3
 
Taylor is in such a dream form. By his standard 53(74) is a poor returns. But he is capable of making up for the strike rate.

NZ had the best attack in that WC. They bundled a few teams for less than 200

He's gonna unleash his strokes today. I feel it. Series is on the line and he's the last barrier for India

We are talking about good attack since 2000. Not 2015. It was just good . But not a threatening line up. You could target a few bowler there.

Hope he does. India needs a lot more challenge to expose their middle order. Also don't want the series to be over here.

They bowled out teams for 213, 233 and 183 in the knockouts, can't see anyone matching that in 2019

Top order batsmen scoring slowly can be forgivable if they can stick around, since they can make up for it. It's a problem when middle order batsmen do it since it's too late to accelerate by the time they get settled.
 
Smart move would be bowl both kulcha in tandem and pick Taylor here as he will attack, kohli will most likely bring on a pacer.
 
Taylor has been second only to Kohli in recent times. Amazing form... hope he gets to 100 and takes off

This is not a jinx!!!

Sure, we can certainly discuss when the current Indian bowling lineup wins a crucial WC Semi and Final instead of giving away 330+ runs to Pakistan in a Final.
Click to expand...

Which means when we won the CT and world cup before we were the best bowling line up over other teams? Amazing, amazing logic
 
Desi fans logic:

Indians: Gave away 330+ runs to Pak in Final, but has the scariest bowling lineup since 2000s.

Pakistanis: Won 2 matches in RSA, but is one of the favorites to win WC even though current form is still 3W 6L in the last 9 games against proper teams.

Bengalis: Well, you guys already know this one very well lol.
 
Hackidu doesnt want to dive. He knows he wont be able to get up. Once hes out, hes never coming back

You are clutching at straws. We clearly explained India doesn't have those bowling unit anymore. Chahal/Kuldeep have a dedicated thread in PP about how they turned the fortunes around for India post CT final. You should try to enlighten yourself with all the facts before debating.

Not when it mattered in the knockouts, they conceded 330 vs the Aussies.

Every match matters in the world cup lol You think India could concede 300 runs and get to semi final? What sort of a logic is that. Australia rolled out a road knowing they can't stand good bowling. They used the scoreboard pressure. Dhawan was batting like a dream before he got out in the same match.

BD logic compare the attack that gave away 330 runs with this attack when 3 of the 4 bowlers of that day won't be playing when everyone's fit, some great bengali logic on display here.

Apparently 260 is par. Thought it was 330 based on last game's commentary
 
Whatever the result is, I love the way KulCha never stop flighting the ball despite being hit. Unlike darters like Jadeja.
