Thanks, recently we have done some good work. I was quite disappointed with the performances of our spinners at home in last 5-6 years but Ashwin-Ojha have picked up loads of wickets recently in India. That's a good sign, at the pace front talent keeps coming, we just need to nurture it properly. Yadan, Sharma, Sreesanth etc all have the gifts to be among the better bowlers.
 
Fan of Dinda, sure he can do well. Zak is on his way out. Pathan is in good form, how long will it last? Yadav is just decent. Ishant is very poor. Aaron is decent-sih. Pace bowling a major worry.

Spin is looking okay. Harbajhan is back. Ashwin is doing well although I don't rate him too highly(yet). Ojha is the best spinner. I like others too such as Iqbal Abdullah.

Murali Kartick in my view should be in the T20 team ahead of Harbajhan.
 
- Its soo bad that we have people are welcoming Shoib Malik back.
- Its sooo bad that Kamran can walk two yards outside the off stump, drink a cup of cofee, and sweep their pace bowler to the leg side boundry.
- Its soo bad that Pakistan think they can chase 185 runs in a world cup game.
- Its sooooo bad that we will see Shoib play the next three games because he made 30 odd runs.

you might be on to something.

is this some kind of a gambit by Indians to keep :malik in the side?
 
India's fast bowling is terrible and always has been, that's no secret. On a turning track where Zaheer and Irfan can become left arm orthodox bowlers (effectively) with their cutters, they can still defend a score. Tbh though India should always look to win the toss and bowl first, they can certainly chase big scores on these wickets and ground dimensions.
 
Indian bowlers - Shame on you!

Just looking at todays match...it feels so disgusting to see some pathetic bowling from our trundlers. Dinda, Awana, chawla etc seems to have no intent to get the batsman out. How do we stop Pakistan with this attack?? Shall we go back to old bowlers - Zaheer, Ishant etc. in T20's??
Bottomline is - We cannot win match with 1 bowler
 
Indin bowlers were always shyte...tell anything new
TBH never seen bowling attack so spineless...not even with Indian standards. I mean if you compare this attack with our WC squad, there is a huge difference. We need to go back to experience (even in T20's)...till we find any new young good bowler.

Don't go loose on Awana... He is a good bowler... Needs some backing from Captain.. He can only improve
 
Just a few weeks ago weren't some of you guys arguing that you have a better pace bowling attack than us? :))
 
Well make your trundlers look like world champs again not to worry.
 
Don't worry. They'll look like world beaters against us, UV especially (although he's starting to perform against most teams now).
 
Whatever hapened to RP Singh? He and Sreesanth injected some life into the Indian bowling a few years ago. Much better than guys like Dinda.

so can we join you in sending shame and laanut on Indian bowlers ?
 
How many of you still want Zaheer, munaf, Nehra,Bhajji to sit out and replace them with these jokers like - Dinda, Awana and Chawla.
 
Business as usual for our bowlers and we have to consider the dew factor too.

For the last 2 years our batsmen have let us down more than our bowlers.
 
Get ready Indians! Pakistan will now come to your lovely country and destroy you in all games!
 
If anything, Dinda took it till the last ball. He had a paltry 9 runs to defend against 2 proven hitters. He will only learn from experience. There will always be one bad ball bowled at the death. With luck, it doesn't go for boundaries. Morgan was too good today. No point bashing the lad who tried his best.

The match went till the last ball..because on England's poor batting. The tried to score runs behind the wickets for 1st 3 balls, else would have finished much before.
 
One thing is for sure this Indian attack can make our Batsman look like World beaters.

:umarakmal:afridi:kami:yk:misbah_old
 
our bowling is seriously pathetic..apart from yuvraj everyone looked simply clueless ..why do they keep on playing chawla??? ...awana disappointed..imo Dinda bowled well, just couldn't handle the pressure..and about ashwin, the more say the least..his magic seems to have been disappeared.very poor bowling
 
As much as the Indian bowling is weak, just wait a few days and Pakistan will make guys like Dinda look the equivalent of Malcolm Marshall.

Tbh theres no need for a list of indian bowlers like youve given....just say ALL indian 'fast' bowlers that have played for india apart from Zaheer Khan
 
yar abhi hm india ko kia kahen we also have a brigade of trundlers these days...
 
Yuvraj is class. The rest.......well the less said about them, the better

You forgot Srinath...according to me he is better than most of Pak bowlers even in 90's
 
:junaid
up coming pacers :ehsan:ziaulhaq and Irfanullah shah

lets see

Ehsan and junaid are not faster than Yadav,Dinda,ishant and Aaroon. Presently indian bowlers are faster than ours. Zia has potential to bowl fast but so far havent seen much of him..
 
credit to indian bowlers. they took the match to the last ball. actually dew was killing them.
 
lets see

wahab riaz

Lol aaron when was the last time he played cricket, his career is at crossroads and his bowling action will lead to constant injuries.

:))) dinda is not faster than gul or cheema over sustained spells, check the asia cup highlights dinda was bowling 130-135 and cheema was bowling 140-145.

No its not...not sure how old are you, but see some videos of Srinath at his peak. Even Pakistani fans rate him very highly. He was more lethal than Kapil Dev

there are some old videos of :sami where people rate him high. even he has taken 2 hattricks.

I also rate srinath as best indian pacer but are you sure Srinath was better than wasim,waqar,imran,akhtar,fazal mahmood,khan mohammad...

Srinth Better than Wasim,Waqar.Shoaib,Aqiab javed :facepalm:
Do you guys even read...I said most/some of the Pak bowlers in 90's. Not comparing him with W's and Sohaib etc. He is better than Razzaq, Azhar mehmood, ata ur rehman and aaqib javed - Any day

i watched ehsan bowling his seam,Wirst Position is better than all indian bowler
his Height is far better than indian pacers Accuracy

That is why I say play 10 batsmen + Ashwin.

Our bowlers are beond terrible. These guys should never represent international cricket. They are making mockery of the art of bowling. :facepalm:
 
lol.gif
 
India should play 9 Specialist Batsman, R.Ashwin and I.Pathan.
The bowling department will still be as good as the one that played today against England.

you consider ashwin bowler? Ashwin is batsman as well. I wish he play bowling role. i am just afraid he does not turn out to be another irfan!

let ashwin be a bowler.

Now stop being an Ignorant ... Ashwin is a great limited over bowler and the only bowler Pakistan should be worried.
FYI - Just after T20 WC win against Pakistan, I have written here in next 1 year Ashwin will be better bowler than Ajmal. 9 months to go for that and I am still confident about it.

Razzaq at his peak was a devastating bowler. But you're comparing India's "ace" fast bowler with Pakistan's all-rounders and 3rd string bowlers? LMAO. That says it all.

1st - Razzaq a devastating bowler is your misconception.
2nd - The reason I compared srinath to Pakistan's 2nd string bowlers in 90's, because even a child knows Pakistan is way superior in fast bowling (specially in 90's). So obviously comparing Srinath to A level bowlers like Wasim and Sohaib is stupidity. Like you guys cannot compare a single Batsman from Pakistan to Sachin, Gavaskar and Dravid.
What I meant is that atleast we had Srinath who was a very good bowler, even better than many Pakistani bowlers. But now our fast bowling is a laughing stock.
 
Arwana is trundler, cant believe Indians hyped him here. Even with shoddy speed guns he cant go over 135kph.

The only real deal is Yadav who is 140kph bowler.
 
Is Yadav still injured? If so, Indians should not select any other trundler in the playing 11.

I would rather play 9 batters + Ashwin + Irfan.
 
Yuvraj is our best bowler, says it all. Our bowlers do not seem to be looking for wickets really, they just try to contain and hope everything will go all right. And it rarely does. We need bowlers who are hungry for wickets in all formats, I don't mind the bowler being a bit expensive. If you dont get wickets you are going to be expensive anyway.
 
If Ishant and B Kumar can maintain this form then things look good for India's one day bowling future. And of course Ashwin and Jadeja are forming a very good spin bowling partnership. The only disappointment in England has been Umesh.
 
Umesh is ahack. Ishant too what a fluke. This will not be the case with England, im positive..
