Aus vs India, 1st Test, Melbourne, 26-30 Dec (I)

Post by doremi on Wed 12 Dec 2007, 03:33

It's almost here.

My team for the 1st test,

Sehwag
Jaffer
Dravid
Laxman
Sachin
Ganguly
Laxman
Dhoni
Kumble
Zaheer
RP
Ishant ( Rolling Eyes )

Oh well. Will have to accept Munaf's not picked. Yuvraj unlucky to miss out but it'd be better if the concerns about Sehwag are settled in the 1st test. The match against Vic will be important.

Australia's probable line-up?

Hayden
PJaques (or however you spell his name)
Drunky
Hussey
Clarke
Symonds
Gilly
Hogg
Lee
Johnson
Clark

Surely they can't drop Yuvraj a Test after he scored 169. Open with Dravid, and bat Laxman at 3.

And why the eye roll for Ishant? Looked good, imo. He'll never get better if he never plays.

the team is alright. But the two newbie right arm pacers have no peer. That is the only concern. Sreesanth if included would have been good, but he is no peer. AarPee and Zaheer are not good communicators.

How does that affect their ability to bowl? They were the main reason India beat England last summer.

What I meant was they can not mentor the new kids who are right arm pacers. I have seen many matches wherein similar bowlers playing alongside Munaf have helped the team win the contest.

Only exception to that recently has been Munaf+Pankaj combination in India Greens during challenger where Munaf failed himself and his colleague. But then he came back against Mumbai in Ranji.

Australia would have been the perfect place to test him out. In fact BCCI rested him on many an occassion giving the upcoming Aussie tour as the excuse.

All that for this.

Dude, Munaf is not going to Australia so it's pointless pondering over it now. Besides, the newbies can't do any worse than him effort wise.

LOL you talk as if Munaf 'my izzat is at stake' Patel is some kind of Tony Robbins esq motivator - a lazy, unfit huffing and puffing 'fast' bowler wouldn't motivate many.

Come on he's had every chance given to him by the bcci and failed to prove his fitness countless times....he makes shoaib akhtar seem like Lance Armstrong fitness wise.
