What should be India's bowling strategy in the test series in Australia?

Question

I think they should play 5 bowlers against australia.

Answer 1

Hey Fatima, sorry i just missed your question. Sorry sorry sorry..



Ok, my personal opinion is that India should play 5 bowlers (of course). Australia is the best batting line-up is the world right now so to handle their batsmen ,we definately need 5 bowlers.



As you know, i am a huge Sreesanth fan. I think, he should be in the team. People don't realize how much this guy adds to our team. We need aggression to beat Australia & Sreesanth is one guy who can do some serious damage in test cricket. Yes, in odi cricket, he may give away a lot of runs but he's always an asset in test cricket.

So, definately he's in my playing 11.

On a bouncy pitch, we should play 4 fast bowlers & 1 spinner (Anil Kumble)

& on a wicket good for spinners, we should play 3 fast bowlers & 2 spinners.

Harbhajan & Karthik both have done very well against Australia, so it will be a touch decision for the team management to pick one out of the two.



This is my bowling line-up on a bouncy pitch -

*Zaheer Khan

*Sreesanth

*R.P.Singh

*Irfan Pathan

*Anil Kumble



On a track good for spin-bowling, i will replace one of the lefties with either Murali or Harbhajan.



Aggression is the key. One think that we have learnt from Sri Lanka's tour is that we have to be aggressive to beat Australia, See, aggression was lacking in Lankan team & Aussies just thrashed.



That's the main thing, we should not allow them to control the pace of the game. They are past masters of this.



All the best to Team India, my best wishes are with them

& congrats to my friend Fatima,lol

My goodness, 400 answers?????

I am jealous,

ok ok, i will now ask a question. I will get 500.



Cheers!!!!



Chakk De INDIA!

Answer 2

India should go with the 5 bowlers combination in Australia to win test matchs. India should win the test series in Australia and come back home. Last time when India team was there in Australia, India had drawn the series and it was Steve Waugh farewell series. Dont forget India was the one who stopped Australia from winning the 17th test one the row. Although it was in India. It dosen't matter how well they play i am sure this time we will win the series and make history. We will stop them once again but this time in Australia. We have been doing well in test abroad and there are some good players this time in team India who can do it and turn it around. India team morale is high in test and the old guns has to fire once again i mean

Sachin, Saurav, Rahul, Laxman and Kumble.

They should play 4 fast bowlers in every match and one of the fast bolwers should be a alrounder who can do the 7th batsman job. It is Irfan Pathan and he can do it. The other three is Seershant, Zaheer Khan and R.P Sing.

Answer 3

We have seen in the last tour of australia that it was the strong Indian batting that leveled the series. It will be the same this time too. It is more important to have a bowling stragegy which focuses on where to pitch the ball rather than how many bowlers to play. 5 bowlers is a must. In which we need to have variety. Kumble needs good support at the other end and Karthik suits best being a left arm. Now coming back to the area where they have to bowl.As we all know it has to be good length or just short of good length but notthing "Short". Aussi bats men are vulnerable to full length swinging deliveries. Indians have to make most of it. Yes a surprice short pitch ball should be there!!! but Indian bowlers should not get carried away by the bounce as we have a couple of them who would be bowling there for the first time.

Answer 4

According to me India Should play with 5 Bowlers (3 seamers and 2 spinners).3 seamers include Irfan Pathan who can also be used as a Batsmen in the Lower Middle Order after M S Dhoni.Irfan's inclusion will mean that India will have perfect balance in both the Bowling and Batting Department.

India should Bat really well so that our Bowlers will be in a position to take 20 wickets.If Batting fails it is very difficult for bowlers to get India 20 wickets.

Answer 5

Go With 4 Seemers & 1 Spiner Is Anil Kumble, 4 Seemers Is Zhahir Khan, R. P. Singh Santakumar Srishanth &All Rounder But No Irfan Take Ajit Agarkar Because He Has Experiance In How To Blowed In That Pitches & Also Take Atteking Players Don't Go For Diffencive With Aussi Players Line As Follows 1. W . Jaffer ,2 . D. Karthik or V.Sehewagh 3. R. Dravid , 4 S. Tendulkar 5. V.V. S.Laxman 6.M.S. Dhone 7. Anil Kumble (Cap), 8A. Agarkar 9. Zahir Khan 10. R.P. Singh 11. S. Srishanth 12 Th Man Harbhajan Singh .

Answer 6

India team morale is high in test and the old guns has to fire once again i mean

Answer 7

In my openion all the 20 * 20 player who've record as they are the number one in all the series wether it is ODI or Test. The performance of Yuvraj sing & Dhoni (Captain) are very agressive and for the bowling strategy the team shoul keep Irfan Pathan, Sreesant, R.P Sing, Bhajji & Kumble has to be there.



last but not least there should be Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly in the Indian Squad.

If all these player will gather together then no one can defeat India. But there shoul be equiluibrium and understanding between the Indian players.

My best wihes is always there and India has to beat Australia coz they (Kangaru) thought that they are the no 1 team in ICC. India has to prove tht the Australia is just a team with mannerless player on the feild.



Thanking you

Kiran

Answer 8

India must bowl around the off stump line and swing each and every ball considerably well. Bowl at good pace and not allow them to settle with one bowler. use 10 bowlers no problem But the ball should not be straight. Playing five bowlers gives us a less batting strength which is our strength. we should have seven batsmen and 4 bowlers. Part time bowlers must be used. so, even if bowling lets you down there is a batting for you. 3 fast bowlers and 1 spinner preferably harbhajan.

Answer 9

The test series against Aussies will be the real test the team India,as we can see the test series between Australia and Srilanka,aussies are in great form and their R.Rate is over 4 and they try to score more than 500 in their 1st innings,considering this India should play 5 bowlers,as Kumble becomes automatic selection for all the matches,according to picth condition India should play 4 seamers or 3 seamers + 2 spinners.

Answer 10

The Squad : Sehwag,Sachin

,Dravid,Ganguly,Yuvraj,Kaif,Dhoni,Kumble,Harbhajan,Pathan,Zaheer,Sreesanth,Ajit

Agarkar,Dinesh Kartik,R.P.Singh,Lakshman.

Consider the case of Kaif & Sehwag.Viru

has been failing quite consistently even though the

selectors have retained him.How is Kaif different from

Sehwag,he has also failed very less no of times

compared to Sehwag but the selectors have forgotten

Kaif.Finally,I don't mean to say that Sehwag & Kaif

should be dropped [never never ... in my dream also].



Talking about Kaif,why is Kaif being consistently

dropped for no fault of his?He is just being made as a

scrapegoat by the selectors.He will be in for 2

matches & will be out for the next 4 matches.Under

this circumstances,how can one expect him to be

consistent?Secondly,he is the second wall of India &

is the most dedicated player.If he is failing

continuously,he will realise his mistake & try to

correct it in the future games.Dravid has said that he

is the most sincere,hard-working & dedicated player in

the team.He is the mainstay in the batting order.How

can one think of removing him?If he is dropped,it is

the most disappointed,worst & bad news for India.



Anil is a special bowler with various

varities in his bowling like flipper,slow

ball,googly,varying the length to deceive the batsman

etc which no bowler can have these variations.He might

have gone for runs in the ODIs in the recent past but

it doesn't mean that he is not an ODI player.Even

so-called good bowlers like McGrath & Lee have gone

for more than 80 runs in their stipulated 10 overs in

most of their matches.For that reason,they have not

dropped McGrath or Lee.For instance if Lee or McGrath

is injured & unable to play,the Australians will feel

their absence & if they lose any tournment or any

match,they say that their key players's absence was

the cause for the loss.At the same time,here in

India,they drop the players like Kaif,Sehwag & Pathan due to

some silly reasons & say that there was no experience

in the respective Dept.Who had asked them to drop such

gifted players?

Answer 11

Go With 4 Seemers & 1 Spiner Is Anil Kumble, 4 Seemers Is Zhahir Khan, R. P. Singh Santakumar Srishanth &All Rounder But No Irfan Take Ajit Agarkar Because He Has Experiance In How To Blowed In That Pitches & Also Take Atteking Players Don't Go For Diffencive With Aussi Players Line As Follows 1. W . Jaffer ,2 . D. Karthik or V.Sehewagh 3. R. Dravid , 4 S. Tendulkar 5. V.V. S.Laxman 6.M.S. Dhone 7. Anil Kumble (Cap), 8A. Agarkar 9. Zahir Khan 10. R.P. Singh 11. S. Srishanth 12 Th Man Harbhajan Singh .

Answer 12

I think they should play 5 bowlers. The Combination of 4 Fast Bowlers & 1 Spinner is worthable under Australian conditions. Fast Bowlers include Zaheer Khan, Sreeshanth,RP Singh and Irfan Paathan. Captain Kumble takes the lone spinner spot.Zaheer and Sreeshanth share the new ball. If the Conditions are suitable for swing bowling, then try RP Singh with new ball.

Answer 13

We have breathing time before Australia tour. At present we have three good bowler who is Australians fears that Harbajan Singh, Murali Karthik, Irfan Pathan. If we have 5 bowlers that is better think. So as per that we will search for another 2 new bowlers. If we will take the following bowlers, the result will not come positively.



1.Zaheer Khan

2.Akarkar

3.R.P.Singh

4.Sreeshanth.

Answer 14

aggression right from the word go. Do a bowler(india) batsman (australia) attack ratio, based on vidoe clips and success rates of each of the indian bowlers against each of the australian batsmen. Make each bowler aware of the weakness of each australian batsman. Pitch a short delivery every now and then, once in a while get fielders inside the ring asking for the batsman to go for the bid shots, place a leg gully for Ponting, a deep midwicket for Gilly and a second slip for Symonds. An occasional stare at the batsman after a delivery and some decent sledging will work wonders

Answer 15

I Thing 4 Pace Bowlers And 1 spinners

Answer 16

It is difficult to answer, but before making any strategy you have to look for the weakness in the Australian cricketers. If you watching closely the series between Srilanka vs Australia then you can find they are playing their regular pacers even Milanga the fast bowler has not showed any fireworks. The best strategy against the opponent team is look for their weakness. I would advise you guys please watch some previous games of Australian cricket team and play as many all rounders you can with atleast 4 bowlers because Australian pitches are good for pacers. It is a "payback time" Do not let us down. Best of luck for the series. cheers

Answer 17

If India play with 11 bowlers, then also they cant do anything against Australia. Because you need to bowled them out twice to win the test mach.

Better play with as many batsman, so atleast you ensures that you dont loose the match.

Good luck Team India.

Chak de India.

Answer 18

I would beg to disagree here. Having 5 specialist bowlers will definitely be a help but it would weaken our Paper Tiger of a batting line-up considerably.

The ploy would be to play to your strengths. The team should be: Jaffer & Karthik (Opening), Dravid, Sachin, Ganguly, Yuvraj (Middle Order), Dhoni (Wicket Keeper), Pathan, Kumble, Harbhajan & Zaheer. The best combination available.

Ganguly, Sachin & Yuvraj must provide part-time bowling relief to the rest of the bowlers. Other than that, everyone must bowl the right line & length at any cost, bowl to a very aggressive & attacking field, keep the pressure on the Aussies constantly. Only then can the mighty Aussies be made to crumble in their backyard.

If we stick to the basics & execute right, the pressure will be immense on their heads to perform & not lose a home series to India. The cracks will then widen & India will just have to deliver the final KO punch.

Sounds simple, nah? It will require tremendous guts & discipline & digging into their combined decades of experience. Do our boys (& men) have it in them to become the new "Wizards of Oz"? Let's go watch Down Under...

Answer 19

India should opt for 7 bowlers and 4 batsman. out of 7 bowlers two bowlers should also do gud batting. it is no more obscure that whether u play 5 bowlers or 6 or 7 it will not do anything there coz at least i know that indian will lose both against australia.

Answer 20

India needs five bowlers, like harbhajan singh, murali kartik, rp singh, irfan pathan and zaheer khan. Firstly the pace bowlers must be used as usual then the spinners must be introduced early. Australians have always faced difficulty in facing the spinners. In the middle overs the Australians must be restricted, for this India needs early wickets. The fielding is another crucial factor, which always makes a big difference between the Indian team and the other teams. So, these are the factors which must be checked.

Answer 21

Well India should be playing with 3 specialist Bowlers, 3 Bowling Allrounders & 5 Specialist Batsman, with extra commitment in the field & aggression towards australians for they r excellent Players, but under pressure right now So this gives India a upper hand & advantage, which they have to grab it 100%, or Indian Cricket will be down after 5 Big Guns retire from cricket.

Answer 22

It will be the same this time too. It is more important to have a bowling stragegy which focuses on where to pitch the ball rather than how many bowlers to play. 5 bowlers is a must. In which we need to have variety. Kumble needs good support at the other end and Karthik suits best being a left arm. Now coming back to the area where they have to bowl.As we all know it has to be good length or just short of good length but notthing "Short". Aussi bats men are vulnerable to full length swinging deliveries. Indians have to make most of it. Yes a surprice short pitch ball should be there!!! but Indian bowlers should not get carried away by the bounce as we have a couple of them who would be bowling there for the first time.

Answer 23

According to me India Should play with 5 Bowlers (3 seamers and 2 spinners).3 seamers include Irfan Pathan who can also be used as a Batsmen in the Lower Middle Order after M S Dhoni.Irfan's inclusion will mean that India will have perfect balance in both the Bowling and Batting Department.

Answer 24

5 Bowlers? never. All we need is to get Australia handled by our 4 premium bowlers and they are : Sreesanth, Zaheer Khan, RP Singh and Anil Kumble.



Dont see autralias current performance against SriLanka. Sri is a pussey team of current time. thats why the Great Murli'n is even not able to bowl at 25% of his actual level.



i thinks thats good enough for australia. The GREAT S R E E S A N T H.

Answer 25

India should play 5 bowlers. That includes 4 pacemen and a spinner. They need to have Irfan Pathan in the team to have the confidence of an additional batsmen. The others should be Zaheer Khan, R.P Singh, S. Sreesanth n Anil kumble.

Answer 26

In my point of view is that India play 3 fast bowler & 2 speen bowler. 1) Zaheer Khan 2) Irphan Pathan 3) Shreesant 4) Harbhajansingh 5) Ramesh Powar. We have also bowler like Sachin, Yuvraj, Ganguly,Virendra Sehvag. And batting line is also powerful.

Answer 27

Australians have very strong batting line up. They always go for their shots. There is absolutely no room for error when u play against them. We need bowlers that can handle the presure and keep bowling consistent line and length. If Anil is selected as captain for the Australian series also then he will have to play all the test matches even if the surfaces dont support him. Zaheer and sreesanth may do fine but we need one more fast bowler that can bowl consistent line and length. One out and out fast bowler would lend balance to the team . Sometimes we lack that variety in our bowling. We need different set of bowlers for the one day version of the game. Zaheer and co are not that great while playing one dayers. I would play Zaheer, Sreesanth, R.P (Fast bowler), One good spinner depending on the pitch.

Answer 28

Aussies will be the real test the team India,as we can see the test series between Australia and Srilanka,aussies are in great form and their R.Rate is over 4 and they try to score more than 500 in their 1st innings,considering this India should play 5 bowlers,as Kumble becomes automatic selection for all the matches,according to picth condition India should play 4 seamers or 3 seamers + 2 spinners.

Answer 29

Last time when India team was there in Australia, India had drawn the series and it was Steve Waugh farewell series. Dont forget India was the one who stopped Australia from winning the 17th test one the row. Although it was in India. It dosen't matter how well they play i am sure this time we will win the series and make history. We will stop them once again but this time in Australia. We have been doing well in test abroad and there are some good players this time in team India who can do it and turn it around. India team morale is high in test and the old guns has to fire once ag

Answer 30

Our team should be in the form of 4 bowlers,one wicket keeper,6 batsman.Bcz even if u have 11 bowlers you cant stop australia balsmans,we have to tackle aussies with our batting strength.So better We should go for 4 bowlers,7 batsman.

Answer 31

Simple to say : 2 Fast Bowlers, 2 Specialist Spinners, 7 Batsmen including Wicket Keeper. As Ganguly and Sachin too can bowl, can be utilized as change bowlers and another player if selected in eleven can opt for spin attack which will give best combination. But provided we maintain the best line and length the victory for us is not far away.

Answer 32

india should go for 4 specialist bowlers(3 fast bowlers and 1 spinner) and we have 1 or 2 part time bowlers because we need good batting to play against australia .

Answer 33

They should obviously play with 5 bowlers. 3 fast bowlers and 2 spinners should be the seggregation. The fast bowlers should be strictly conveyed the message to bowl continuosly in the corridor of uncertainity and not to get totally swayed by the bounce in australia.

Answer 34

The best Strategy is to outplay them with Swing Bowling and good Spin. India should play with 3 fast swing bowlers and 2 spiners. Don't dare to test them with body line Short pitch stuff every now and than. When Ricky Pointing come to crease immediately change to Spin attack, as he is vulnerable starter against Quality Spin Bowling. Read the weakness of Hussey, Jaques and Clarke through video clipings. Captain should try to convert the strongness of Australian Batsmen into there Weakness by placing a totally unexpected field placements supported by the bowlers. It should be hand-in-hand policy and compete team work.

For Batsmen i am having my doubts for Jaffer and Kartik as opener. Yuvraj should be in playing 11 as he is good player of fast bowling. Key batsmen are 1-Dravid, 2-Sachin, 3-Laxman, 4-Yuvraj in Australia. They should perform at any cost consistently.

Answer 35

Yes they should play with 5 bowlers,

3:- pacers and 2:- spiners

i can even suggest the bowlers name



Irfan Pathan

Zaheer Khan

RP Singh

Anil Kumble

Murli Kartik

Answer 36

India should come on the ground with 5 Bowlers, 4 out of 5 should be fast bowlers and 1 spinners. Shreeshant will be the key bowlers on bouncy wicket he did well in south africa and other bowlers should be pathan,khan and R.P. Singh.

Answer 37

India should go with 5 main bowlers (4 main + 1 genuine allrounder like pathan or preveen kumar). If one of this 5 fails

we still have part time bowlers to play a role

The role of 5th bowler is to take wickets not just to finish his quota, as it is very imporatnt to take the wickets and keep pressure on opponents. If we go with 4 bowlers its negative/defensive thinking and is no good for teams future /consistency

Answer 38

Strategy should be on base of the wicket. Don't think that AUS have only pitches helps the fast bowler,but we have seen many cases spinners getting turn n bounce in 4th & 5th day. So plan should be depending on the nature of the wicket. Three pacer n two spinner may be ideal. But, after all they should take on Aus with full positivism & give the best 4 the pride of the nation. Kumble is the new captain, lets see what he does!

Answer 39

The Indians should play with 5 bowlers, 3 fast bowlers(Z khan,R singh, S sreesanth) and two spinners (kumble and harbhajan).



Against Indian batting line up, this time around there will be green Fast bowler friendly wickets, as was in south africa (first test, J'bourg) so i think fast bowlers might do the job.



Also Ajit Aagarkar can create problems using old ball (reverse swing), as he did in Adelaide last tour.

Answer 40

Bowling strategy/calibre and Fielding excellence/placements hinges on each other to produce Wickets. Kumble ,Harbhajan are wicket taking bowlers who also put lot of constraints on Australian batting particularly in Tests, by their capability for long consistent spells. These two must be supported by some extraordinary close in fielding around the bat---Gambhir,Dinesh Karthick ,Yuvi and of course Sachin and Dravid at Slips. Players who can't field well will be a liability for the team.Three Medium pacers of the team must maintain consistency and bowl to the field set for them. Winning against Australia is possible if you play aggressive cricket with Professional Grit and Game



Shanpal

Answer 41

Guys plz remember the success we got when we played the Aussies on their home last time , the strategy was simply which was applied by Anil Kumble itself. Aussies are good Front foot players but they are not good back foot players so go and bowl them and target their body with some bouncers and make sure that they play and stay at their back foot all the time.For Hayden go for stump attack with outswinging delivery. For punter the inswinging delivery with a player on short mid wicket . Like wise we have to make stratigy. According to my view Sreesanth will deliver the most among the Indian bowlers as his bowling has pace and meaty bounce but don't forget that he will be punished by the aussies also, but who matters that if a bowler takes 4 to 5 wickets giving more runs.



so lets hope that Indians can and will deliver a nasty ball to the Aussies to make them weeping through out the series.

Answer 42

India should play with 5 bowlers, opening partnership is important,bowlers give the right lengenth to the batsman. pace bowling is very important in Australia. we are just that india will win the series

Answer 43

Our strength is batting and being backed up by a couple of good bowlers. So for Australia, we need to back our batsman and expect them to score to hughe runs, especially in tests because that is what matters. Then we should go in with 4 bowlers with a batting all-rounders supporting them.



Out of the 4 bowlers we play it should be 2 fast-bowlers and 2 spinners, to have a good mix of variation. To name some one i say "Jumbo" will be our main weapon and should be supported by a left handed fast at the other or by Murali Karthik. we should also have the batting all-rounder who could bowl pace and use Tendulkar intelligently, infact I would likfe the captian to use VVS to bowl also, a surprise

Answer 44

1) Doesn matter if v have is 4 or 5 bowlers. V need to have a multi dimensional attack.. with genuine swing bowlers.. And pathan if selected, can play a major role as he is one of the most natural swing bowlers..



2) It is possi to get the australians out in the early stage of their game. Eg. Ponting shuffles across the stumps when he starts of his innings.. a good swing bowler can get him LBW..



3) The main strategy : Indentify every batsmens weak point. target that and bowl aggressively..

Answer 45

They must have 5+1 bowlers. The 6th bowler must be a batsman/bowler like Ganguly, Yuvraj, etc.



4 pace bowlers and 1 spinner.

Nowadays Harbhajan cannot not spin the ball, so Kumble would be sufficient.

Answer 46

How can India improve in Fielding and bowling in the test series against the world champion Australia

Answer 47

India shouldn't have 2 take more stress. They should play only with 4 bowlers (3 pacer + 1 spiner). India have already some part time Bowler also, like; Sachin, Ganguly, Yuvraj, etc... the all players should have 2 consontrate only them performance... If they will play better... 100% india will win... India should have 2 improve their fielding standard... bowler should have play patiencely.... In final word in my view.... 4 bowler is sufficient.....

Answer 48

5 Bowlers with Combination of 3 Pacers and 2 Spinners. 3 (any combination) of the bowlers should be asked to go for wickets and the other 2 should contain or dry the runs. Make the austrailans work hard for every single run. Don't back off if they counter attack. if they counter attack the wicket will start fall then they started to fall in our game plan. All the very best to INDIA.

Answer 49

well.. i think India will anyhow loose against the Australia.

So, why you guys bother about bowlers(3/4/5)? Why not try with 11 batsmen ? Sehwag, Sachin, Saurav, Yuvraj will manage the bowling department. LOL. It can't get worse with this strategy. May be India will then manage to draw the series by batting out sessions ..hehehe

Answer 50

The only strategy that could work against mighty aussies is attack. The Indian bowlers should attack their batsmen with their full wit and craft. They should never go on defensive mode but should seal the batsman favourite area of hitting. Make proper and particular strategies for them and follow wicket to wicket bowling rule. The biggest drawback with indian pace bowler is that they do not use full pitch and bowl to a particular line and length. Let their batsmen to guess each delivery.

Answer 51

India shud stick to four pace three pace bowlers and two spin bowlers during the Aussie tour. Also they should keep in mind that bowling should be perfect at off stumps. And in between variations should be there and yorkers should be bowled. No leg attacks. Let Aussie's commit the mistakes. Frustating they would do the mistake and give us the wicket. So bowling should be tight and at right length. Rest the batsmen and fielders will take care off. One more thing that fielding should be tight and upto mark. COZ BOYS THERES A SAYING "CATHES WIN MATCHES"

Answer 52

For Australia the strategy should be 4 seamers and 3 spinners in Team. In seam department, RP Singh, Sree Santh, Zaheer Khan and Ajit Agarkar/ Munaf Patel.( one bolwer who is line and length bowler and will not conceed runs, basically to choke the runs is must- Irfan Pathan can come in here). Spinners as Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh and Romesh Pawar/ Piyush Chawla/ Ashish Mishra.

Playing 5 bowlers is must of which two have to be spinners while three as seamers. Sree Santh, RP Singh and may be Zaheer/ Munaf/ Agarkar can make the bowling department. In case you need to remove one bolwer from playing 11, in that case need to have Bowling all rounder in team.



Most important is dry the runs for Aussies and you will get wickets and win the games. They hate bolwers who do not give runs.

To win against Aussies choke the RUNS ....

Answer 53

Have you played rubber ball. Normally it is bowled in the fashion called Under hand bowling. This can be best against Australia as over hand bowling, they know everything how to handle the ball. Only under hand bowling may baffle them from Indians. If not select all 11 bowlers to play, because Indians have no problem in batting, thay are super.



Pl go to study, dont waist your time on trivials. Cricket will not give you, the daily bread in future.

Answer 54

I think India should play with 4 fast bowlers and 1 spinner out of which 1 must be an all-rounder.

Answer 55

I think india need all 11 bowler in a team then & then only we can beat australia. because 5 bowlers cant do anything against aussies.

Answer 56

Our first choice should be S.Sreesanth because of his great aggression and positive attitude in the field. It is very surprising even today this kind of aggression is missing from Indian fast bowlers.

Irfan Pathan,Zaheer,Harbhajan Singh,RP Singh and Munaf Patel should also be included.In Test Match one fast bowler has to be replaced by Anil Kumble.Don't include M.Kartick.He is a slow left arm spinner.So his bowling style is not suitable for Austrelian bouncy pitches.

Please try to think +ve and be like sreesanth. Instead of criticizing him appreciate and encourage him to keep him going in the same way with firey aggression on and off the field.

Answer 57

Depending on the pitch conditions India should go for 5 bowlers........4 Simmers + 1 Spinner or 3 Simmers + 2 Spinners or 5 Simmers.

Answer 58

I think INDIA should with play 4 bowlers against Australia.

Answer 59

Five bowlers(3 pace/swing + 2 spin) if it is batsman friendly and 4 bowlers(3+1 or 2+2) if it is bowler friendly.

Normally batting first will be wise unless under extremely bowler friendly condition.

There is no need to say that well directed bowling and energetic fielding will put pressure on the Aussies which is the most vital area where we must concentrate.

Answer 60

Aussies are vulnerable against off spin bowling for a long time. Whether it be Prasanna or Venkat Raghvan, they all had been able to trouble the Aussies. Aussies are strong against quick bowling (barring bodyline series against Eng in 1930's)) and leg spinners. In my view, we should give more emphasis on the spinners, since whoesoever is selected as fast bowler may more or less do the same damage to Aussies. Here, the role of Kumble will be important, as he will be leading the side for the first time, though he is known as leg spinner, but he hardly bowls any, most of his deliveries are either top spinners or googly. Harbhajan is a natural pick amongst the spinners, especially against Aussies. But we will need another spinner in this Aussies tour, otherwise our bowlers will have their last say in this tour.

Answer 61

No doubt india needs a bowler who can boal and bat. Preferably all rounder they should select. Mere bowling alone if they see they will land in scoring good runs with australia. They should prefeable select all rounder . Then only they can fight with australia. Minimum 4 fast bowlers and 2 spinners is required .

Answer 62

India should play with 4 bowlers.5th options would be sourav.he can bowl good spell with the semi new ball.instead of playing with 5 bowlers,we can take an extra batsmen.

Answer 63

I think they should play 4 fast bowlers that is Sreesanth, RP singh, Zaheer Khan & Irfan pathan, Pathan is also very handy with the bat where the Indians get a bonus of one more bats man in the team & a specialized off spinner Harbajan Singh

this is the way i think the Indians can really attack the World Champions.

Answer 64

Clearly play 3 fast bowlers on bouncy Australian wickets with one of them being an all-rounder (obviously Pathan who would also strengthen the batting line up). Zaheer or RP to tackle the right handed batsmen [Ponting, M.Clarke and Symonds in particular] and Sreesanth for the left handers [Gilly, Hayden and Hussey]. Play Bajji to tackle the left handers since the faster bowlers normally find it difficult to bowl to left handers - remember we do not have a Srinath now. As captain obviously Kumble plays but like in the previous tour could be a handful on those bouncy wickets.

Answer 65

I think India should play with 5 bowlers.

### 3 pacers and 2 spinners will be the right combination.

Answer 66

My option would be for 5 bowlers which comprises of 3 fast bowlers and 2 spinners

Answer 67

I feel India should lay 5 Regular bowler against Aussies viz

Zaheer ,Sreeshant Harbhajan RSINGH and Irfan Yousf Khan /raveen Kumar in lace of Shrishant

Answer 68

Bowling Strategy should consist of 5 bowlers;

4 seamers and 1 spinner

3 seamers and 2 spinners

Answer 69

I think they should play 5 bowlers against australia.

Answer 70

India should have 4 bowlers including spinners plus 2 all-rounders(1fast-medium & 1spinner) Select bowlers

who have taken wickets on bouncy and fast pitches.

Accuracy in length should be the motive of bowlers

Answer 71

India should definately play 5 bowlers-4 pacers and just one spinner.Sreesanth and Zaheer should open the bowling with pathan coming as first change.R.P Singh should be the fourth option and Kumble the lone spinner.

Answer 72

In australia, the wickets are soft and bouncy, the grounds are bigger. The indians need to just concentrate on line & length bowl according to the field. Spinners have an advantage against Australia, when the basman have the tendancy try to clear the ground, our fielders need to support the bowlers.

Answer 73

I think team India should have 4 seamers and 1 spin bowler in the team. Team India should plan to take wickets rather then completing the quota of 90 overs a day. The same will be applicable for one day series.



from : c.anthony.raj

Answer 74

I think they should play 4 bowlers and 7 batsmans against australia

Answer 75

Is fun and humour counted as spam? Hope not. Here goes anyways..



When we have batsmen who can be counted upon to under-achieve any target, who needs bowlers, let alone a bowling strategy?



1. Put in 11 batsmen.

2. Have them each (except the keeper, if he's not inclined) take turns 'bowling'.

3. Which consists of standing at the crease, closing the eyes tight, whirling the arm, letting go, and hope for the best.



Gopal

Answer 76

India must play with 5 bowlers. The bowlers must see that they bowl with a good plan in mind.. They shud avoid giving those extra runs.. If they stick to a plan they can make the Australians dance to their tunes..

Answer 77

comparing with the conditions in Australia and Indian pitches .. in Australia it haves bouncy track.. so more than spin we must concentrate on the fast bowling.. like the swinging bowlers of India have Ir fan , R.p. sing & Zaheer .

Then the spin twins of captain kumble & the turbanator harbahajan singh.. will turn the match situations for the favour of the indians..

Thus the bowlers that team India can use in Australia..

Answer 78

Aussies are strong against quick bowling (barring bodyline series against Eng in 1930's)) and leg spinners. In my view, we should give more emphasis on the spinners, since whoesoever is selected as fast bowler may more or less do the same damage to Aussies. Here, the role of Kumble will be important, as he will be leading the side for the first time, though he is known as leg spinner, but he hardly bowls any, most of his deliveries are either top spinners or googly. Harbhajan is a natural pick amongst the spinners, especially against Aussies.

Answer 79

I think Indian bowlers should show temprament & bowl on good length areas outside off stump. Patience is must for this kind of bowling with a bit of aggresion which Indian bowlers should learn from the past encounters.

Answer 80

India has lots of talent in bowling side. Shreeshant , Zaheer Khan , Rudrapratap singh have been bowling in aussie and pak series. They are really in good form. when aussie wicket is concerned then i think indian team management should play four fast bowlers and obviously one spinner kumble. Fourth fast bowler should be Irfan pathan. In aussie pitch he can have lots of swing . In previous series spin wizard Anil Kumble has been the yardstick of india bowling side. veteran leg spinner can show spin magic against aussie. Shreesant , Rudra ,Zaheer khan have to be aggressive what they have shown in home series against australia. last of all india young and experianced bowling side will give a tough fight against kangaroo's country.

Answer 81

India should go for Bowlers follows:1.Irfan Pathan,2.Praveen Kumar,3.Munaf Patel,4.Zaheer Khan & 5 Anil Kumble. 6.Saurav Ganguly.

Answer 82

The strategy is go with 4 fast bowlers+one spin ,if the pitch seem to help fast bowling and with 3 spin + one fast bowler if the pitch is slower.Because our strength is spin (Their fast bowling can be taken up by our batting so no worry)bowling,play with our strength and attack with our strength.Please remove Mr.Ganguly .He is playing for his self and lack self confidence,which is more important if u play against a side like aussie.













balaji

Answer 83

congrats Dhoni for giving India the Indian oil cup especially after winning over Pakistan after 24 Years on our Home soil.

I think India should play with 4 Bowlers and atleast 2 regular Allrounders.

Answer 84

While fielding there should be 11 bowlers and while batting there should be 11 batsmen. Greg to be the Coach and Kiran More to be Manager and Srikant to be Media Manager. Ravi Sashthiri should be BCCI's Loudspeaker Then only India will win. This apart Modi of Rajasthan should accompany the Team has Supervisor.

Answer 85

No matter how many or what catagory of bowlers is going to use again australia, important thing is to maintain line and length. Fast / Medium bowlers should be able to bowl in the blockhole during slog overs instead of wides or full tosses.

Answer 86

I think they should play 4 bowlers against australia,

Answer 87

For the Australia's tour, we should target for not making them get a big score...



The bowlers must aim for their personal records like 5 wk hauls, maiden overs, hat-tricks, targeting particular batsmen, giving no boundaries in their 10 overs, etc.,



All these don't take as a funny thing... Because, from my point of view, if the bowlers look for their personal milestones, it wont affect the team's performance.

Answer 88

In my openion, first India should play two speener & three faster or medium bowler & should be allow change side of bowler always. Second, India should play more batsman bkz if all bats man make more run against australia then bowler will excite and they can do good performance. New bowler cricket player will choose one or two bkz australia will not deep study of new bowler.

Answer 89

India has o perform well with the swinging conditions out at Australia...For this Pathan and Agarkar have made BEST use of such conditions....now other question remains is of 2 other seamers, for which Zaheer and Sreesanth wud b the better ones to use.....



The spinners whu hardly make any mark on the Australian soil are a big prob..so for this the only experienced one i.e. Harbhajan and new sensation Murli karthik along with some usefull blows frm yuvraj will make INDIA a FULL PACKED bowling side!!

Answer 90

Before answering, let me remind you that India has 3 tests to go with Pakistan before touring Australia ... so still time!



India should have likes of Ajit Agarkar, Irfan Pathan - who performed well in Australia earlier - and also RP Singh - the emerging player of Indian squad.

Also not to forget Harbhajan Singh, Murali Karthik, who are wonderful spinners. If India wants 4th bowler - there is Sreesanth.

Answer 91

I think indians should go with 4 regular bowlers.3 fast bowlers and 1 spinner.if needed they can use sachin as an extra spinner.so that the batting line-up wont be disturbed against the quality bowling of aussies.

Answer 92

AS usually the test track will be slow and a mediator pace so instead of having more fast bowling attack india should go with the spinners and the medium pace swingers as the pitch will be slow and also the batsman will be in the mood to play the longer innings so spin can handle it. and with a shower of pace in between the spin at regular intervals can help india against australia, as far as batting is concerned that is fine so not worry abt that except the correct order in which the batsman come to crease.

Answer 93

Do what they do not expect. There was a time when Bishansingh Bedi used to bowl second or third over of the innings. Why our present spinners like Harbhajan or Karthik should not be given that opportunity? Australians like Adam Gilkhrist and Haydon will never budge to fast bowlers. why not try this strategy of using spinners at the start of the inning be used against them?

Answer 94

First of all let me remind u that Anil Kumble is the test captain and he is the first spinner and might be the only spinner in the side(in case of fast pitches).

I think the bowling attack should be:

1.Zaheer khan

2.Ajit agarkar

3.Irfan pathan

4.Anil kumble

5.R.P singh / Harbhajan singh (depending on kind of pitch)

they might go with 4 bowlers on bowler friendly track.



If Indian team wants to win it will need the team to be a fit unit (specifically seniors) and energetic on the field i.e to field well.



Also it will need some good performance from the senior pros and good skills from the youth.

Answer 95

First we need team effort. We have experienced and youngsters in the bowling area. One main thing is the bowlers they should bowl in the correct line and length. The bowlers should have the ability, that is how to bowl depends on the pitch condition and also for player's weakness.

Answer 96

India Must always play its strike bowlers like Zaheer,Pathan and RP SINGH and go in with one spinner depending on the wicket.

Coz india needs depth in batting as well to put some runs on the board.

Part time bowling can be filled in with likes of ganguly, tendulkar, sehwag and yuvraj depending on whos in the playing 11.

Answer 97

Pitches in Australia are bouncy, unlike the ones in India which are flat.



Australian pitches except Adelaide are very suitable for fast/ medium pace bowlers. Adelaide is a scoring wicket and is ideal for batsmen to score runs , spinners will be useful on this wicket. All other pitches like Melbourn, Brisbane, Hobart, Sydney are fast and bouncy. So depending upon the venues, I think four genuine fast bowlers are reqd. The bouncy pitches are ideal for our bowlers like R.P. Singh, Irfan Pathan, Zaheer Khan(He is our main weapon ) and ofcourse Shreeshant( agressive, very fast and a wicket taking bowler) and one cannot ignore Praveen Kumar, .



Indian Cricket Board sould have taken Kapil Dev's openion to transform all the pitches in India to bouncy pitches. But they have not considered his suggestion. The real test for our batsmen will be to utilise their batting skills upto 100 %. if they want to win a series in Australia.



Thank you,

Mr.Pravin Nair

Answer 98

i think Indian fast bowler's have the same firepower as the Australian's,the only thing in which they lack is the consistency.if they are consistent in their line & length then they compete with the Australian's. In spin department Indian's are more stronger then Australian ,but they have to play according to their Reputation.

But the most Important thing which matters is the batting lineup ,if all the batsman click's then India will definitely Dominate the Series as we experience this from the previous tour of Australia.

Answer 99

Keep it simple. Let the ball speak the language of aggression. Certainly use 5 bowlers with Irfan Pathan as the 5th bowler and as an all rounder.

Answer 100

Anil kumble is the captain so he has to play no other way (playing him in all test matches abroad is a big question mark)harbajan will be playing and then zahir due to his experience and then shrishanth should play because aussis will be trying to thrash him which inturn might yield us wickets. And we won't be playing five bowlers because we cant overate our batsman in the fast tracks of australia.



Srilankan's are hammered by them we cant be treated as the same because we have the wall dravid and sachin and laxman who have the ability to handle aussie bowlers

Answer 101

India Should play with 1 allrounder 3 seamers and a spinners.



Zaheer and RP Singh should share the new ball

Munaf/Sreesanth and Irfan Pathan should be the other two quickies



Spin legend Kumble should lead the spin attack. The part timers like sourav and sachin should also be used. They can play a vital role.



This will be the best bowling attack....

Answer 102

Whatever the combination,our bowlers should stick to following.

1] The quick bowlers should concentrate on swinging/seaming the ball accurately on a good length with average speed above 135kph.

2] Spinners should concentrate on spinning & turning the ball with guile to buy the wickets instead of trying to restrict the flow of runs.

Our bowlers should strickly avoid giving opportunities to Aussie batsmen to play HORIZONTAL shots.

Answer 103

India should keep 5 regular bowlers(3 Pace+2 Spinners).Try to give them full length bowling ,not much flight to first 5 batsmen,spinners should try to turn as much as possible with wrist or with body.Do not allow Shreeshanth to bowl wide,no bowls and short pitch bowl.Control the runs in first 10 overs as much as possible to curtail the run rate in one dayer's.Our pace bowlers should not give lose bowling and for tail enders they should bowl yorker and at the feet where batsman is standing.

Answer 104

In my opinion, they should play with 5 bowlers. The bowlers main be R.PSingh, Jaheer Khan, Srisanth, Kumbale and Harbhajan Singh. Irfaan Pathan and Murli Kartik may be additional bowler.

Answer 105

there should be 5 bowlers but in the 5 bowlers there should be allrounders also. like Irfan pathan or Praveen kumar. Because they can bowl also and bat also. they can do well by keeping themselves over aggressive like what sreesanth does. yhey should keepthere line and length at proper areaand should have variations in bowling. they should keep changing there bowling attack like sometimes sachin or ganguly should also bowl for some perior for the purpose of breakthrough.

Captain kumble should not keep fast bowling for long spells otherwise they will not able to feild also.

Australia ki band bajana hai to CHAK.............DE........INDIA.

Answer 106

most australian picthes prefer seamers and pacers rather than spinners.

therefore bowling must be like this:

1. Zaheer Khan

2. R P Singh

3. Munaf Patel (whoes presence will be very crucial with his ability to bowl well with old ball also whether it is SG or Kookaburra ball)

4. Irfan Pathan (can serve as an allrounder)

5. Anil Kumble

6. Harbhajan/ Kartik (depending on their form)

and if its a batting track then any one baller (2,3 or 6) can be left out and a be replaced for a batsman.

Answer 107

They should go in for 3 fast bolwers namely Sreesanth, Irfan Pathan, RP singh and they should rotate the bolwers like Sreesanth and Zaheer Khan on match to match basis. Rest they can assure of spinners like Anil Kumble, Murali Karthik and Hrbhajhan. The most important thing is that the indian team should not go without Sourav Ganguly. He has done tremendouus job in Australia, when they met last time in Australia. He can also give suggestions at necessary time.

Answer 108

I think, our boys will play with 2 allrounder and 3 bowlers against australia.

Answer 109

YES.............

5 bowlers should play in Indian squad:

R.P.Singh

Irfan Pathan

Zaheer Khan

Murli Karthik

Harbahjan Singh



I m sure if the bowlers do their job well than we can easily shake down AUSTRALIA



"CHAK DE INDIA"

Answer 110

India have to go with 5 bowlers(4 pacers+1/2[depends on the PITCH]),in adddition to that we need to have 1 alrounder+spinner [ex:UV or praven kumar]





we need to bowled out them for very less either it is in ODI/test



other wise defenately we will loose all the series in AUSTRALIA

Answer 111

i think they should play the 3 spinner and 2 pace bowler against the australia.

Answer 112

Well,, Iam from Sydney I want to see India winning the series. My strategy will be, if we play in Adelaide or Brisbane - we need to get out in to the filed with 2 spinners. If we play in Perth or Melbourne orSydney with 1 class spinner [ Kumble] Bhajji not recomended.

Pace bowling: RP Singh, Zaheer and Sreeshanth. [ Irfan not likely to Perth, Melborne and Sydney]

I will say ,,just stick to Basics Boys. Will win the series this time

Answer 113

I agree. But, should India play with 3 spinners & 2 Medium pacers or 2 spinners & 3 pacers is to be considered. With captain being bowler, chances of 3 spinners playing is doubtful.

Answer 114

As for as our indian bowling concerned, it is not upto the level of mark.. should develop the line and length....



Aussies don't worried about any bowler in the world... they just keep scoring runs without any hesitation..



so, capatain dhoni will play with extra bowlers..



Moreover victory is not in our mind... we just want to draw all the test games.... it is too difficult to make even draw with them...



i am not against indians...



but obviously saying, we are good, but aussies are too good....



so you are very right my dear friend,

they should play with 5 bowlers...

Answer 115

They should play with 4 bowlers.

Answer 116

I think indian team should include shreesanth as main strength to take wickets with zaheer, Spin option would be with jumbo and karthick, include rpsingh also, 6 Batsman is enough i think.

Since in test cricket its a matter of taking 20 wickets in 2 innings, so bowlers will become benchstrength.

Answer 117

Every damn batsman(moreover,a new man on the crease) in this world is tentative on the body-length delivery on/around the off stump just over the bails' height. So,considering that length in line,we should ball.It should be 4 seamers(sreesanth is going to be our trump card,if he concentrates on this fact rather than the sledging;he has the aggression to make a huge difference).Playing 2 spinners wont help in the australian conditions. Zaheer,r.p.singh and ajit agarkar can be vital.



Other important fact is going to be the field placement strategised according to the batsman who's just arrived on the pitch. India must bowl to their field,its going to be crucial. Keeping a packed off-side(6 fielders in the slip corden,to be precise)and bowling in that channel will definately curb 100-150 runs.The current fielding is no match to the australian standards,it must improve 200 times!

Answer 118

Well India should go for 2 fast bowlers and two spinners cos we already have pathan as an all rounder and he is also an extra bowler

Answer 119

Hi,



Ausiss are professional cricketers...They will play all kind of bowlers so my personal opinion is not to experiment with the bowlers too much...Keep the good specialized batsman thats enough...dont take Sreeshanth please...he will fight rather than bowl.....

Answer 120

first they should improve in running because Australia grounds are very big so if any shot went through fielders they can catch the ball.2.indian players should take heavy bats with them so that the power will be more and it will suit 4r Aussie grounds3.two medium pacers,1slow Left arm spinner,1leggie &ifast&swing bowler see there is one comparisionwatch the srilanka and aus series no sri lanka bowler is effective in aus aganist aus even murali so india should keep one thing in mind dont go for pace go for swing previously aus was struggled with slow spinners and swingers like great wasim akram.while bowling make aussie to thimk what will be the nxt ball but dont go for pace and bouncers]

Answer 121

India should play with 5 bowlers but, No bowler should give any room to the batsmen. Bowl wicket to wicket. Bowl only one ball outside the off stump, if you think it will give outside edge. But I don't think that Australian batsmen are not fools to attempt those outside the off stump balls. So try to bowl on the stumps and keep the fielding tight.

Answer 122

I think they should play with 4 recognised bowlers,three pacers and 1 spinner and india have much options of part time bowlers.because australia's main strength is their bowling and india should play with 7 batsmen.

Answer 123

Yes, you are absolutely right. There is something missing in our strength as a nation. Being the 7th largest country in the world and 2nd largest in population WE are not able to get an individual gold medal in olympics till now. What exactly is the problem? I think its the lac of dedication to the sport by the sportsmen. We can say that poverty, sponsorship, facilities and so on is all a factor for not producing a good sports person. It is a fact, I dont disagree with it but think of african countries like kenya, namibia etc.. Are we below these countries in any standards?

Answer 124

The pitches in Australia are sort of helpful for fast bowlers, it assists pace, bounce, and swing. The subcontinent players tend to be difficult to adjust to Australian pithces, so we need to have an extra fast bowler, my suggestion is we have to go with Zaheer, Irfan, Sreesanth, Rp Singh, Anil Kumble for test and Harbhajan, Zaheer, Sreesanth, Irfan for one dayers, which would be ideal to put a fight.

Answer 125

I think if india win 1st 2 two test matches against the Pakistan . India should rest Zaheer, R.P.Singh. Sreeshant. Than they will rearing to go aganist AUS.



They should concentrate on line & Length plus swing. Bcoz last time india success came because of swing of Zaheer in 1st test. They should plan against each batsmen how should operate to Ricky, Hyden, Clerk, Adam, Phil. They should maintain one line & length to new batsmen on consistant basis ask the capitan to arrange the filed according to that.

Some time in austrila on flat wicket there batsment score big runs. There for every Indian bolwer should have 3 to 4 plan against each batsmen but line lenght must not get wayward.

Doesnot play Bhajji in any of the test in Austrila. Once batsmen start going after them. He look nervous than advantage will taken by Austrila batsmen.

Answer 126

I think there should be 3 fast bowlers & 2 spin bowlers aganist australia.

Answer 127

i think there should be five bowlers including a spinner and four fast bowlers, bcoz Australia has a fast, bouncy & sporty wickets in which spinner might be not as much useful as fast bowlers. Must also given a turn to Sourav as a medium fast bowler he can be very useful....

Answer 128

I think India will definitely have to play 5 bowlers one of which will be Irfan pathan as he will provide depth in batting too and one spinner (Kumble).Bowling just round about off stumps at good length will be vital as we know Aussies do hve a tendency to nick one or two no short pitch stuff as they r very strong pullers and hookers.

Answer 129

India should go with 5 bowlers (3 pacer+2 spin)

Srisanth,Pathan and Zahir khan is a gud combinatin in pace while Harbhajam should join the spin with Kumble.....

Answer 130

They should select bowlers on merit basis only. Bowlers should aim at bowling and get the batsmen out, instead of indulging in horrible looking body lanuage. Aussies are not children and they are not freightened of ugly postures.You can't take wickets by threatening .

Answer 131

definitely 5 bowlers shud b playing and according 2 me irfan pathan will definitely play a crucial role there.

no body in india is still better then pathan in swinging the new ball and he can put aussies on the back foot.

also indian bowlers need 2 bowl wicket 2 wicket and b deciplened.

remaining will happen automaticaly

Answer 132

I think four pace bowlers and one spinner is necessary

because there are part time bowlers are in the team.This is the best thinking that i prefer to go to the Australia tour.

Answer 133

They should play with 5 bowlers with 1 specialist spinner. They also can use the option of Sachin, Sourav, Sehvag or Yuvraj.

Answer 134

As it is crystal clear that Australians are champions in all departments of Cricket, India with 4 seam bowlers & 1 spinner as option should play aggressive cricket to disturb kangaroos' batting defence. Indian bowlers should bowl yorkers often, instead of short pitch ones. They should use inswingers/outswingers at the point of 15 - 16th yard to have snicks to wicketkeeper/slip fielders. They must bowl slowers in between with fuller length & they must keep strict vigil at the week defence of Australian Batsmen & bowl accordingly to get wickets & win tests. They should copy bowling rythem of old stalwarts *** best bowlers ever made in the history of cricket namely -----> Wasim Akram of Pakistan, Glen Mcgrath & Shane Warne of Australia & currently Dale Steyn of South Africa.......

Answer 135

I think India should go for planned attack. They should restrict the Australia from taking singles during 20-40 overs. These singles are causing a lot of damage. I think Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, Pathan should be in the squad.

Answer 136

India has to follo these 5 bowlers.......

1.Murali Karthik

2.Praveen Kumar

3. Irfan Patan

4.Zaheer Khan

5.R P SIngh

Answer 137

i think they should be play 5 bowlers

1 zaheer

2 irfan

3 r p sing

4 kumble

5 harbajan

Answer 138

5 bowlers is a must... coz only bowlers can win tests in Australia. 3 pacers, Zaheer, R.P., Munaf & Pathan alongwith Kumble. In Sydney the combi should b Bhajji/Kumble/Zaheer/RP & Pathan. Don let them score huge runs coz that will b the path of downfall. Bat first get a formidable score & then attack with five.. this shud b it.. BEST OF LUCK GUYS

Answer 139

Indian bowler have to bowl line & length and fielders have to give a good support to the bowlers by fielding.

Answer 140

Its not about having 5 bowlers or 4 bowlers....

Its about consistent line and lenght....Bowling yorkers regularly....having variations..



I feel some times our bwlers go totally blank when Aussies start assaulting them....they are not God....do not think that reputation of the batsman....just think he is just a batsman having a bat in his hand....



All this should be supported with attacking fielding...



specially against Auzz...the game becomes a more of mental game....



Do not speak ...... show by action...they wil automatically shut commenting in the feild.......

Answer 141

ndia should be playing with 3 specialist Bowlers, 3 Bowling Allrounders & 5 Specialist Batsman, with extra commitment in the field & aggression towards australians for they r excellent Players, but under pressure right now So this gives India a upper hand & advantage, which they have to grab it 100%, or Indian Cricket will be down after 5 Big Guns retire from cricket. i

Answer 142

Three Fast Bowlers and Two Spinners. Zaheer, R P Singh and Shreesanth/Agarkar and Kumble and Harbhajan/Murali should be the ideal combination.

Answer 143

there should be 3 fast bowlers and 2 spin bowlers in the bowling department.

Answer 144

It dsn't matter hw many seemers v hv. It all depends on the consistecny of the bowlers. Evn our spinners n fast bowlers cn restrict them. Bt v r lacking of consistency. I thnk v should concentrate more on the three like bowling, batting n fielding. I thnk india should work on spin bowling coz australians can't face spin comparing to fast bowling.

Answer 145

In the 16 player,

India has to hav the following bowlers.......

1.Murali Karthik

2.Harbajan Singh

3. Irfan Patan

4.Zaheer Khan

5.R P SIngh

6.Sreeshanth

7.praveen kumar

8.piyush chawala

Answer 146

i think that India should go with 5 bowlers. we should pick the front line bowlers like zaheer,r p sing, sreesanth, harbhajan,irfan pathan.being a pacy wicket .we should go in these manner,to strenght our batting line up also by including pathan,these are the bowlers who can provide a good start and personnely my feeling is these bowlers have good temperment & guts feeling i hope they can do the job well.speaking about sreesanth he is a good swing bowler. and he as good aggersion .in the field which ilike it,so many players doing so many things in the field players like,andre nel,

Answer 147

1.Zaheer Khan 2.S Sreesanth 3.RP Singh 4.I Pathan 5.Harbhajan Singh 6.M Kartik (I Pathan should be included in as an allrounder in the team which can have 5 bowlers as well as 6 batsmen )

Answer 148

compare to Australia bowling India need of good spinners better.Because spin bowling not understanding they.And also one in swing and two pace bowlers and two part time bowlers are needed.with these bowlers are also not must effect on the Australian team.

Answer 149

Indian bowlers should be expecting long, tiring and frustrating days. They should try and play two spinners because their only weakness lies in playing spin. The bowlers should be: Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, Irfan Pathan, Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh. Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman should also be included.......!!!

Answer 150

Hello

Strategy is not main criteria which has to be considered.

Main point is that when players are selected there must be a person who can both bowl and bat. These days there are so many people around like that who can do well in both.

So during selection commite must be very careful in selecting then sky will be limit for indians







All the best India.



Suma

Answer 151

Definitely we should have atleast 4 strong bowlers in our team. And our batting team should also be very strong enough to fight against them.B`coz they are very strong in both the sides.our first spell bowlers should at least take 2 wickets rather than containing the overs.

Answer 152

There is absolutely no room for error when u play against them. We need bowlers that can handle the presure and keep bowling consistent line and length. If Anil is selected as captain for the Australian series also then he will have to play all the test matches even if the surfaces dont support him.

Answer 153

4 seem and 1 spin bowler, even though aus pitches r fast tracks

aus r weak while playing to slow left armers.

seemers has to cocentrate on wicket to wicket bowling as aus r good at playing outside stump balls.

wicket to wiclet bowling is only one option for indians so the bowlers having cool head has to be in the team.



Chek de India.................

Answer 154

I strongly feel Zaheer-Ajit-Sreesanth combo could do the trick. Sreesanth will surely get carried away, given his temperament. All this not withstanding, Sreesanth will be india's trump card, provided he's in full control of his senses and remains consistent. Agarkar will do well to move the ball away from the batsmen and zaheer can be a tough nut to crack, given his accuracy. The Jumbo experience of kumble, Harbhajan's doosra's can virtually make life hell for the aussies.

Do well, Team India!

Answer 155

Hi Guys ,

I reckon the squad should be mainly experiened players and very few youger ones cause we have seen ODI`s with Aus lastmonth ....that was a disaster,i don`t know why you people have forgotten kumble ...we need him now than ever before . the 11th one could be either Gambihr or RP singh depending upon the circumstances,and dont forget our only weapon aganist Aussies in test matches MR.Laxman....if he in form he should be included in place of gambhir......Dravid for chirst sake no no no BIG NO.......i am not aganist dravid but his mind is totally screwed by the things happened to him ,

INDIAN Squad for Test matches :

1.Sachin

2.Ganguly

3.Yuvraj

4.Dhoni

5.Uthappa

6.Anil kumble

7.Harbhajan singh

8.Khan Z

9.IK Pathan

10.Sreesanth

11.RP singh or Gambhir

in case of injury or anything , backup palyers can be laxman (if he in form or else air-fare waste ), shewag,Dravid not an option (at present situations).

Answer 156

they should play with 4 bowlers and 1 all rounder..so yes 5 bowlers

Answer 157

first in test india should field in with 5 bowlers with 4 pace & one spingoing with sreesanth,zaheer,r p singh,murli or kartik spinner choice,&one frm up the new face then they should not try out something new just strict to basic dry up the runs with tight line &length bcouz australia like to score fast & they will take risk thats the key mean that dont go for wickets agressive field setting but just outside off line is imp otherwise all knw what haapened with srilanka specially with harbajan bowling to ponting keep 2nd slip it will work out

Answer 158

I think India players should play with more enthusiam and sincerly against aussies bcoz if India won the 20-20 match against aus. they can easily win 50 over match also. Indian players are not less than aussies. India has done in the past and India will do again

Answer 159

obviously we should play 5 bowlers against australia including all-rounder like irfan pathan. we should throw bowling from the maximum bowlers.

Answer 160

Better to have sreesanth out of the field and he is missing the line and length of the ball and better to go with praveen kumar as he is swinging the ball too. Should have RP Singh, Irfan, Zaheer and Praveen kumar. RP Singh is keeping up on the stumps. Zaheer who is the one who can swing the ball on either side. Irfan and praveen are good bowlers. Finally Harbhajan, who could change the directions of the match at anytime. If it is so, we could be having stronger batting line adding Irfan and praveen kumar.

Answer 161

I think, we should go with four bowlers and also make the partime bowlers like Yuvraj, Sachin, Ganguly as full time bowler, so as we can able to be strenghten both in batting and bowling.

Answer 162

No,Its not. They are the worldchampions.They will prove there ability.

Same our indians are also T20 worldchampions.They will also prove there ability in austrlians in the last T20 match.

Anyway

(I think they should play 5 bowlers against australia - False)

our selectors are not good to select Test match.

we should select depend upon players who are having ability for(T20,50-50 & Test Match).

Answer 163

i think they should play with 5 regular bowlers because Australia is a strong team and any lapse could cost India very heavily

Answer 164

Play ur natural game. Try to bowl in the right line and length. Do try different things. Do not get frustrated when u r gone for a few big ones. And propably India needs a left arm and right arm bowling combination.

Answer 165

selector should pick atleast two RHB Seam and Swing Bowler as Kangaroos are li'l vulnerable against them. i wont think so spinners will create any impact , so my selection for the test in Australia will be 5 Bowlers i.e. S Sreesanth, Zaheer, RP, Kumble, Agarkar/Pathan

Answer 166

I guess Kumble's guys land on ground by containing 5 bowlers as Mr skipper is the vetnar agst Aus'es

Answer 167

The present strategy is working great ! This is the best strategy i am seeing after a very long time now !! Definitely young players must be provided enough room to hone their skills apart from the regular 20s to get going strong and 30s to stick to display their resilience !

Answer 168

whatever be the bowlers ratio , they must keep good length.



They must observe australian bowling, Only duty of the bowlers to pitch in correct spot the rest will do the pitch.



Inswingers are the weakness for ausis lefthanders especially Gilchrist. Be aggressive in field, Dnt allow them to overtake in any period.

Answer 169

i think every aussie batsmen is in peak form after thrashing the srilankan bowlers....so i think our bowling attack should consist of a spinner n 4 pace bowlers-zaheer,sreeshant,rp.singh n pathan...they should bowl de 'outside offstump' line n make the batsmen play that line so that they may get a nick n get caught behind....no need to try new things cos we aren't playin against a weak team....also bowlin that line wil also reduce their scorin rate unless they decide to take risks...we'd rather draw a match than lose one by trying new things which usually dont work....

Answer 170

I think they should play 5 bowlers.

Answer 171

i think they should play 4 bowlers against australia

Answer 172

Why india is failing whith aus?1.No dedication.2.No team sprit.3.Not analysing the situation.First study about australian play in field in batting and in bowling.They know which batsman needs which bowler.

They maintain line and length and field placement and also in batting.

With 10 bowler if inidia have also it is of no use.we have use line and length the phase should be perfect.and change of phase every ball to ball will trouble the batsmen.



Our india batsmen also very foolish play they will play if on stats hitting then all 11 player will be hitting .If one falls down then the will form a line to pavelion.



Their is no consantration whith our team mates



So i say we should have confidence.and dedication,team sprit and analysing the situation .

Answer 173

i think they should play 4 bowlers against australia

Answer 174

5 Bowlers out of which, atleast 3 can bat a bit...we have Zaheer, kumble and harbhajan who can bat and are always required...not that they experienced but they are respected by Aussies batsmen. Ideal combination is above three with irfan and choice betwen kartik and sreeshant , depending on the condition of the pitch, on that day.

Answer 175

i think 5 bowlers including 1 all-rounder will play against Oz

Answer 176

there should be 5 bowlers 2 spiner leg & off spiner and 2 pace bowler and 1 medium fast bowler there should be variety of bowler so that they could not get set to play freely.

Answer 177

India should go with 5 specialist bowlers. 6 specialist batsmen. 2 all rounders.

Answer 178

our bowlers must be aggressive, use bouncers and yorkers as many as possible, work as a real team with mate bowlers, place value on every run they concede to batsmen, be disciplined, take the tour as a test not a gift, think to give their best without expecting anything for individual rewards. work harder then asked for by the coaches and team management, if one thinks mate bowler has better chance of doing well give him the best of assistance without thinking about personal achievement and limited rewards.

Answer 179

1)make all kind of pitches

2)give coching to pace bowlers and teach them how to bowl yorker, bouncer,swinging in both sides,reverse swing,round the wicket etc...

3) make very good side bench of bowlers.

4) implement rotational policy, that will get enough rest to players.

5)select talented young 20 or 30 players and send to mrf pace foundation.

6) approch in professional way like australia.

7)dont mix politics in selection procedure.

Answer 180

well i think 4 regular bowlers and 2 all rounders need india in australia.

Answer 181

India Should use three fast bowler like Z. Khan, R.P.Singh,Munaf Patel, and one spinner Anil Kumble and with seven batsman to tackle the ausises problem.

Answer 182

Indian Cricket team is good. 5-6 combination is very good cobination 5 bowlers and 6 betsman against australia. Yahi hai Poori indian cricket team this is satisfactory team.

Answer 183

I think they should play with four bowlers and 2 all rounders because if we play 5 bowlers means our batting will be in trouble if the bowlers are in trouble means we can use them. if iam the captain i will choose these team

dhoni bat/ keeper

tendulkar bat/ bowl

dravid bat

jaffer bat

pathan bat/bowl

zaheer bowl

ganguly bat/bowl

bhajji(harbhajan) bat/bowl

r.p singh bowl

kumble bowl

murali bowl

if dhoni gets injury we can take dinesh

Answer 184

India should play four pace bowlers, one spinner and an all rounder as a middle order.

Answer 185

i think india play with 5 blowers 3 pacer and 2 spinners when blowers will done there job is not enough batsman is also want to perform well then india will win australia is a good team but india a T T campians.

Answer 186

they can not able to beat Australia even they play with 5 bowlers,because their bowling attack is very poor.they lost the one day series in India,so i don't think that any kind of bowling attack can help them in Australia.

Answer 187

Because Zaheer, RP & Irfan's swing & Shreesanth's aggression will keep Indians hot in auzee's conditions. And Kumble is always stunning performer.

Answer 188

Zaheer and sreesanth may do fine but we need one more fast bowler that can bowl consistent line and length. One out and out fast bowler would lend balance to the team . Sometimes we lack that variety in our bowling. We need different set of bowlers for the one day version of the game. Zaheer and co are not that great while playing one dayers. I would play Zaheer, Sreesanth, R.P (Fast bowler), One good spinner depending on the pitch.

Answer 189

5 Bowlers - 3 Pacers and 2 spinners

Sreesanth, Zaheer, Irfan. - Irfan is a good all rounder

Kumble and Harbhajan - Kumble can again bat well.

The entire squad should have one extra pacer which would be R P Singh and one extra spinner as Murali Kartik.

What do you all say ???

Answer 190

We must go with 4 fast bowles & 1 spineer, means Zaheer, RP, Irfan, Shreesanth & Kumble would be a best combination.

Because Zaheer, RP & Irfan's swing & Shreesanth's aggression will keep Indians hot in auzee's conditions. And Kumble is always stunning performer.

Answer 191

i think india should play with 2 spinners and 3 fast bowlers.

Answer 192

i think they should play with 5 bowlers i.e. 3fast bowlers + 2 spinners. fast bowlers like r.p. and sreesanth should play because they swings the bowl really well and should bowl in good areas i.e. stumps to stumps and on the other hand spinners should bowl with variety.

Answer 193

as i understand 4 bowlers are sufficient against Australia.

Answer 194

India should play with Zaheer, Irfan, RP Singh (or Srishant) & Bhajji (or M Karthik). the fifth bowler is not needed since Sachin, Sourav & Yuvi can manage well.

Answer 195

I think to bowl out Austrelia is defficult task but not impossible. As we all know they are good againest pace attack but if you remember all our wins came when our spiners had done well. So I think we have to go with atleast two quality spiners and three quality pace bowlers. Then we have to concentarte on the batting also as they have an advantage on the home ground.

Answer 196

India should go all-out against ozes. There are many instances idea are bowled out for less than 100 due to pace attack. India should take youngsters who can bowl fast and attack australian batsman. Indian batting is not predictable in australian conditions. So it is better to put our money on bowling and fielding,which can save some runs to batting.

Answer 197

I think it is beeter to go with 5 bowlers always .As we have strong batting line up no need to have 6 th batsman in XI.

But we need to have an complete all-rounder means like kapil dev,

then only we will be the winners always

with out complete all rounder we should not excepect much from team india

Answer 198

AUSIES R VERY GOOD FOR FASTERS, ZAHIR, RP, IRFAN, CAN BE THERE, BHAJI-KUMBLE COMBINATION CAN BE DEADLY SO DO NOT UNDERATE THEM AS ONE IS OFF & OTHER IS LEG SPINNER, INDIA SHOULD START WITH ZAHEER-RP, IRFAN CAN COME LATER WITH KUMBLE, THEN BHAJJI SHOULD REPLACE IRFAN, NO DOUBT SACHIN, DADA AND YUVI CAN ALSO BOWL WELL.



INDIA SHOULD NOT TRY PACE BATTERY IN THE LATER OVERS BUT CAN DO WITH MEDIUM & PREFERABLY SPINNERS. LET ASSUIES TAKE THE CHANCE. THEY R OVERCONFIDENT THEY R LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAY THE PACERS BUT WE SHOULD'NT GIVE THEM THE CHANCE.



MAKE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STRATEGY, IRRITATE THEM BY SLOWER ONES. BOWLERS SHOULD BE REPLACED WELL IN TIME DO NOT EXERT ONE BOWLER TOO MUCH.

Answer 199

in my opinion india shiuld play 4 fast bowlers and 1 spinner.even part time bowlers like sachin may contribute more.

Answer 200

line and length of our bowlers and key will be the fitness factor of our players.

we all knew that australia is a fast track, so we should go with 4 fast bowlers and 1 spinner.

Answer 201

I think Indians have to do their basics correct. Bowl to a plan, have patience, have field accordingly. There is no one strategy which would help as far as i am concerned. They have to plan traps for each of the Top order Australian batsmen. Have to do a lot of anlaysis of where they are having their weakness and strengths and bowl accordingly. Have to be aggressive (may be like sreesanth:-) sometimes).

Answer 202

I think India's bowling will be good in Australia. But it will be not so effective compare to Indian pi ch. Because it is very difficult to play against Australia in their own pi ch. It will be definitely tough.

Answer 203

I guess there should be an attacking field set for the fast as well as spin bowlers. According to me indian players are not disabled players they just lack confidence.

I think we shouldnt leave the game even if we know that we are going to loose. We should make it difficult for the opponent to win........

Answer 204

Indians should maintain the discipline while Bowling. Consistency, Line and Length is very most imporatant things when your are playing against World Champions.

Answer 205

4 bowlers would do if they learn to bowl consistently in the right areas.

my bowlers would be

zaheer

sreesanth

rp singh

kumble

Answer 206

5 regular bowlers and 1 part timer with 2 spinners in total.

pitch it up..

keep it good just on the off stump

Answer 207

I think INDIA should definetly pick 5 front line bowler in playing 11 . my list would be for one dayers

zaheer , pathan , praveen kumar, harbhajan, murali karthick or sreshanth

we should definetly go with pathan and praveen because these two can contribute with bat significantly and this will give batting order depth , Batting depth is definetly reqd to beat a team like Australia and with this combination we can

Answer 208

first let me tell the tale of batting line up...



1) sachin

2) saurav

3) dravid

4) yuvraj

5) dhoni

6) uthappa



no change must be done in this order... (sehwag must be excluded , "no" for laxman )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now coming to bowling..



there will be enough bounce in the pitch there , so playing spin and pace altogether can help a lot for us,



regarding pace,



1) rp singh

2) pathan

3) ajit agarkar or munaf patel



the above three will be the best combination , (zaheer will add runs , hence to our ruins )



where as in spin ,

1) as usual, the legendry anil kumble

2) harbajan or kathik



who is playing doesnt matter , who is going to win matters !



they have,



lee

tait

johnson

bradd hogg , all are match winners...



we know that our bowling is a question mark , but we can make history with bat .



lets hope for sachin and saurav to blast the aussies...



ALL THE BEST INDIA

Answer 209

opening spell RP singh, zaheer for 10 overs

11-16 overs irfan pathan and sree santh

harbajan, ganguly 17- 23 overs

sreesanth- yuve- pathan this combi nation should bowl for 6 more overs then the rest bowlers. if sachin can also be used in the middle as rp singh-sachin- zaheer or pathan -sachin- zaheer

Answer 210

bcci to select five batsman,two good all-rounder,four bowlers with spin.in our india there are so many all-rounders but the bcci members to select them.in all-rounders the commitee must have full satisfaction with the all rounders if not then india play with normal five batsman,five bowlers and one spinner.but we want to attack the australian players with technically.if we attack aus by tech means then we can play with three bowlers.but bowlers be confident because aus pitches are very good pitches for bowling and batting

Answer 211

bad time we r entering in 2 australia. whoever the bowlers need to work hard

Answer 212

Consider the pitches in Australia and the way they approached muralitharan,i feel 3pacers+1 spinner,and part time bolwers like sachin,yuvraj will be of help.I think it is better to concentrate on batting as most of the pitches are batting pitches with less assistance to spin.

Answer 213

Hi Fatty, What is more important to beat Australia is to bowl in the right areas and consistency. They are really tough to beat at home. The aggression shown by Sreesanth is need in his performance and not just in behaviour. He can be very handy if he bowls in the right area. What say??

Answer 214

Indians need 3 fast bowlers with one spinner because yuvi and shewag are there for spin ans sachin too..



Medium face sourav and pohit sharma are there.



The total team need 5 blowers, 3 batsmen and 3 all rounders.

Answer 215

For Batsmen i am having my doubts for Jaffer and Kartik as opener. Yuvraj should be in playing 11 as he is good player of fast bowling. Key batsmen are 1-Dravid, 2-Sachin, 3-Laxman, 4-Yuvraj in Australia. They should perform at any cost consistently.

Answer 216

Zaheer and R.P Singh are capable of damage Aussie batting order.Sreesanth will be always at his best, when we play outside the country .Anil and 'The Turbonator 'can do the rest.

This line up is one among the best bowling departments ever for team INDIA.



Anil

IIT Roorkee

Answer 217

Five Bowlers apart from Irfan Pathan because he is an alruonder.

Answer 218

India Should Play with 6 batsman (Karthik, Yuvraj,Dravid,Sachin,Ganguly,Laxman) keeper(Dhoni) and 4 bowler(Pathan ,Kumble,RP SIngh, Sreeshanth)

Answer 219

they should play 4 fast bowlers & 1 spinner

Answer 220

RP Singh

Sreesanth

Harbajan Singh

Zahar Kan

Kumlay

Answer 221

No bowling strategy is going to work against the Aussies. They are eagerly waiting to make mince meat of us. It is going to be grudge series as far as the Kangaroos are concerned. Look what they are doing to Sri Lanka and Murli - the chucker - in particular.

Answer 222

Instruct our pace bowlers to deliver slowerones at a time surprising the aussies batsmen.

Answer 223

I think we should try 5 spinners all bowling out side the leg stump to save our a** from being wipped by australia

Answer 224

We need 4 bowlers and two allrounder.Munaf can be added to the squad.Allrounders like Y.Sing,Pathan have to show their performance in both battin and bowling.

Answer 225

i think they have to play 5 bowlers ie 3 pace bowels and 2 spiners 1 all rounder.

Answer 226

In my opinion the Aussies are the most ruthless players n India should not get intimidated by them India must go on the pitch with a well rehearsed stategy and follow it..India has the skills to beat them any day. Go for it.

Answer 227

Hi Dhoni, Greetings.

Please tell your boys to avoid wides and no balls in order to save many runs. When free hit is given, tell your bowlers to be as cunning as Aussy bowlers, by not giving any single run. Because, when free hit is given our boys become too submissive or docile in bowling.

Also urge them to dive(die) for the ball while in the fielding.

Answer 228

sreeshant have to bowl in the test series in Australia. becose he is in very good form and he is the good test bowler.

Answer 229

ok...we have really talented bowlers but wen it comes to pressure situations they are not able to bowl yorkers[which are so much required] . Let us not forget lasith malinga and most of the pakistani bowlers are successful coz they can bowl those block holes ... bowling coach wer r u ???

Answer 230

i t is not like bowling to Aussies in 20/20.

First train them to bowl wicket to wiket,

Bowl correct length in such a way so the ball acumps to hip or little heigh, none of our bowlers have not learnt that trick.

Your spinners are totally usless, they don't know how to spin or the ability to spin like BK chandra (was also my student), including Anil, atually Anil was my student in his PUC course. People get out to hi,m after getting bored with him.

There are many, these are only few for i know i played cricket in my college days in Central college, Bangalore.

Answer 231

3 seem bowlers and 2 spin bowlers and part time bowlers like saurav, sachin, yuvraj been used for neddbase bowling attack

Answer 232

of course yes they should play with 5 bowlers because there is possibilities of failure of 1 or 2 blowers.As a spinner only kumble is sufficient ,our part time bowler sachin,saurabh,yuvraj can do well.as per my opinion 4 seamers+1 spinner.

Answer 233

Try always new thing in bowling against Australia. If you don't get wicket on good bowling, appreciates the Australian Bat's Man get him over-confidence and try the loose one in the over.

Answer 234

They should first do the basics bowl Stump to stump.

Not to give them width to free their arms. This is not only against Australia but against all the nations.

Answer 235

5 specialist bowlers is a must if they have to contain the australian batting order. zaheer khan r p singh and sreesanth should be the three seamers. i would suggest pathan to be included in the team as he is a very good all rounder. and in the spin department it should harbhajan and and captain kumble.

Answer 236

i think India should play with five bowlers and and should concentrate upon line and length instead of taking wickets so that we can constraint upon the run rate and it builds pressure on australia

Answer 237

hello everyone!!! i think india should go with five genuine bowlers or anathor option is they should go with five bowlers including one allrounder and they should try to adopt as an aussieee strategies with a bit of a aggresion and try to bowl against australian in form side with very much dissipline with try to bowl off stump and off and middle line with pace... that would be halpful because here in australia bowlors gets extra bit of bounce to make batsman think!!!!!!!

Answer 238

i think we want to use more spin bowlers and less fast bowlers against test series in Australia.

Answer 239

India has to hav the following bowlers.......

1.Murali Karthik

2.Harbajan Singh

3. Irfan Patan

4.Zaheer Khan

5.R P SIngh

And Sreeshanth (if he promises to control temper n dose nt get tensed)

Answer 240

Jaques and Clarke through video clipings. Captain should try to convert the strongness of Australian Batsmen into there Weakness by placing a totally unexpected field placements supported by the bowlers. It should be hand-in-hand policy and compete team work.

Answer 241

india should play 4 seamers and bhajji. the bowlers should be sreesanth, pathan, z khan and agarkar i think. I always feel that sree is a good test bowler. agarkar is askiddy customer im sure the aussies wont take him lightly(all ajit fans plz prayfor his selection) further indians need to be patient as they always bat well o n home turf. i think sree and bhajji would hold the key.

Answer 242

1.First of all all our players should suit with australian conditions.



2.All our bowlers should DEFINITELY want to stick into basics by pitching the ball into right areas.



3.Its quite necessary to play 5 bowlers.If indians want to win a match there means "THE POWERFUL SWING BOWLING ESPECIALLY FRM ZAHEER AND PATHAN SHOULD BE ESSENTIAL".

Answer 243

Its simple. stick to the basics. indian Bowlers should bowl at good line and length.

Answer 244

what ever the strategy of bowling but its all about the mind game and our team need the best attitude to face the australia

Answer 245

Since our bowlers hardly make a difference, I suggest we play 10 batsmen and Kumble. Who knows - our batsmen may get wickets instead of runs!

Answer 246

india should play with 4 bowlers its enough for them because we have part time bowlers to restrict them

Answer 247

i think India use 5 bowler, with irfan pathan play all matches bcoz he is a gr8 insuinger bowler

BEST OF LUCK INDIA

Answer 248

they shall go with 3 fast bowlers and 2 spinners ........... bowlers like sreesanth,pathan&zaheer all can swing the ball well and can defeat the australians ...Anil kumble the captain shall be the best bowler in the series&&&&& also may be harbhajan can look handy....

Answer 249

i think we need more than 5 bowlers cuz . the way aus is playing against sri-lanka is very good soo india needs 2 be careful

Answer 250

last but not least there should be Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly in the Indian Squad.

If all these player will gather together then no one can defeat India. But there shoul be equiluibrium and understanding between the Indian players.

Answer 251

i would like to the bowlers are zaheer khan,irfan fatan and r p singh

they are playing against australia

Answer 252

india should not afford too many runs they should try to bowl according to the field and not to try too many things, just stick to the basics.spinners will have akey roll in indias bowling .the part time bowlers should try to restrict runs and main spinners should take wickets

Answer 253

its gonna be tough not for india but 4 australia surely...australia wil under tremendous pressure if india manages to draw or win de first test...i would want to c chawla in de test squad..may try him for one test match atleat..i feel hayden n pontin wil find him a bit difficult...india should go in wit 3 fast bolwers if ganguly s in de playin 11 else de shuld go wit four ..i would not take karthik bcoz dos pitches don suit him at al.. australian pitches suit our fast bowlers..i would like to c,1.sreeshant,2.rp singh,3.zaheer khan,4.kumble,either 5.irfan pathan or chwala or harbajan or powar ..i would want sreeshant to continue his outpour of agression on aussie,its really re freshin to c someone challenge aussie in tht fashion

Answer 254

its not all abt swing or pace or spin.inia need perfection in its bowling dept as it has in its batting. it dosent bother what ever wicket it is it only matters abt line and length along with some swing. india is not consistent abt its line n length if they r then bowlers are going to win matches for india.

Answer 255

According 2 me i think dat they should adopt the stragedy dat they used against pakistan.But as Australia is a tougher team india must hve senior players for playing for they r xperienced.The new players should get a chance 2 play once india wins the series.India should improve its fielding.This way they will make up for a short aim 2 achieve.australia's bowling skills r unbeatable therefore good bowling is required.

That's it wat i say!!

Wat abt u!

Answer 256

4 bowlers 2 all rounders

australians target a bowler even if they aren't part timers

Answer 257

I just heard from australian cricketer simons today that australian team is waiting for indian team and planning to destory indian bowling especailly sreesanth. Indian bowlers need to keep up line and length, do not worry about speed., profile each batsman's weakness and attack their weakness constantly

My idea is to go with 4 bowlers and one all-rounder........

my four bowlers are

Zaheer Khan

Sreesanth

RP Singh

Anil Kumble

and all-rounder Irfan Pathan...

Answer 261

Yes they should definitely go with 5 bolwers. As this is a very important and tuff series they should definitely go with 5 bowlers.Zaheer, RP Singh , shreeshanth should be the seeamers and harbajan singh , murali karthik should be the spinners.....

Answer 262

Saurav should bowl more to accomodate the 5th bowler . So it will come to 6 specialist batsmen,4 bowlers and a wicketkeeper batsmen.

Answer 263

Whatever bowling strategy we have,Australia likely to outplay us in both batting and bowling departments.Still i feel we should have 5bowlers[3 fast&2spinners]

Answer 266

They Should Bowl Wicket To Wicket To Australian Cricketkar

Answer 267

India Should use three fast bowler,one all rounder and one spinner and with seven batsman to tackle the ausises problem.

They should play 4 fast bowlers in every match and one of the fast bolwers should be a alrounder who can do the 7th batsman job. It is Irfan Pathan and he can do it. The other three is Seershant, Zaheer Khan and R.P Sing.

Answer 269

4 fast bowler & 1 spinner. 3 fast boller should ball first 12 overs in rotation with changing ends every over than next 8 overs 1 new boller shd replace 1 non effective fast boller & 1 spinner shd ball 4 overs each so by 20th over every boller used for 4 over each & than in 2 over spell every boller can be tried. Any part time boller can be used for breaking partnership.

Answer 270

well!! i think the players should have confidence in themselves.....if we lose our confidence then they'll surely take advantage of it .....

i think theformat should be-

1-10overs(fast bowlers)4overs-zaheer,4 overs-sreesanth..

10-30 (spinners)10 overs murali kartik,5-overs bhaji,5 overs -part time bowlers like sachin nd yuvi....than 30 to 50 the fast bowlers with some spin overs in between......nd keep in mind is to take wickets......sreesanth should get a chance only if he learns to control his aggresion.....

Answer 271

they want to keep score board going.so first attacking point is to bowl on right line n length,, (they will definatly loose wickets this way)

secondly our bowlers must know d weak points of each n every batsman of ausies......e.g., A. Gilcrist is weak at the pull shots so it is easy to bol aa few right line bowls and then a short pitch over mid wicket....

thirdly,,,, let d bouler bowl fm the end he likes to,,,

think aggresive,, be confident,,,

Answer 272

they should play with three fast bowlers & two spinners.since we have two world class spinning bowlers.Anil kumble & Harbhajan Singh.singh will perform well against the australians

Answer 273

we need accurate bowlers like glen Mcgrath, we should make plan to bowl each batsman in aussie line up. i think 3 fast and 2 spinner will do for us. i guss munaf patel will be there in the team. (RP singh, munaf patel, Zaheer khan, anil kumble, i m in doubt for Bhajji as he is not so good in forign soil)

Answer 274

i think india must go with 5 bowlers agains australia.

we must start the attack with

1.shreeshant.

2.zaheer khan.

3.irfan pathan.

4.rpsingh.

5.harbhajan singh.

opening bowlers must be zaheer khan and sreesant/pathan.

Answer 275

india should use 5 top bowler and six top batsmen and above all our fielding need to be given importance that we never miss the catches.

Answer 276

There is no need to say that well directed bowling and energetic fielding will put pressure on the Aussies which is the most vital area where we must concentrate.

Answer 277

india should play 3 seamers and 2 spinners . spinners have more success against the aussies . Harbajan is d key for india.

Answer 278

in test matches india should pack themselves wid 5 bowlers ..

Ajit agarkar (as he ws good in carribean pitches}

Zaheer Khan

Harbhajan

Kumble

Pathan (as he is all rounder)

so in diz way 7 batsmans n 5 bowlers aslo

Answer 279

India should play with 4 bowlers and one allrounder....if chance drop zaheer khan....

Answer 280

indian bowlers should use the pitch conditions properly, always follow the pitch strategy and they should invade the right areas for the respective batsman to trouble him.

Answer 281

i think they should use more of spin than pace as our pace bowlers are not going to affect them so much.

Also our bowlers should study the weakness of their batsmen and control the flow of runs as the oz like to score at a decent run rate.

Answer 282

India should go with four bowlers with three fast bowlers and one spin bowler.since those pitches will be bouncy wickets,it will be better to have 3 fast bowlers.they should bowl well ,gud line and length and try to bowl bouncy delievers .they hav to practice to bowl bouncers .nt just bouncers,bouncers with gud control,otherwise we are goin to suffer.since their batting line up is the best,we hav to put 200% effort.jaques,clarke,hussey,symonds are in unbelievable form ,it will be difficult to stop them from scoring,if we bowl like wht we bowled to the pakistan,so we have to bowl with pace and bounce with gud control,all bowlers should sit and hav to learn wht are their strengths and weakness of their batsman are and bowl according to that.

Answer 283

Don't bowl too short or too full,

bowl on the off stump even if you are been scored off,

try and bowl all 6 on the right spot,

never try too much, stick to the basic.

Answer 284

Three Seamers (Zaheer ,Rp Singh ,S Sreesanth or irfan Pathan two Spinners(Anil Kumble,Harbhajan or Chawla)

Answer 285

they must play with five bowlers 'n' pathan should be used to open the bowling with zaheer.

s.sreesanth n r.p. singh can play a big role later on.

Answer 286

i think that team will be form with 5 bowlers( 3 fast and 2 spinner) ,and 6 batsmen.

my fav. team is:



gambir and sehwag(openers)

laxman

dravid (keeping)

sachin

ganguly

utappa,

yuvraj

kumble

harbajan,

murali karthik

patan,

zaheer,

agarkaar,

srisanth

Answer 287

India has to hav the following bowlers.......

1.Ajit Agarkar

2.Ajit Agarkar

3.Ajit Agarkar

4.Ajit Agarkar

5.Ajit Agarkar

And Pathan (if he promises to give all the wickets to agarkar)



cheers...

nitesh

Answer 288

no aggression is required against australia...just stick to line and length...even if a gud ball is smashed for a four or six...still bowl the same line and length...or even a better line.....be sure that a gud ball will always get a reward.......



1.dont bowl outside the of stump.......just bowl on middle and off...dont give extra pace.......finally dont give a loose ball.....

Answer 289

We need more sreesanths

b' coz Sree can restrict them well by his aggressivenes we already seen in T20 nd oneday series....

So Aggressive is the key point for Indian strategy

Answer 290

i think India should play with consistent performance bowling and also in batting because you know to playing in Australia means its very tough.everyone should perform well especially in bowling.

Answer 291

ya india should play with 5 bowlers, but with Irfan pathan and Pravin kumar because they both can bat also.

Answer 292

The role of 5th bowler is to take wickets not just to finish his quota, as it is very imporatnt to take the wickets and keep pressure on opponents. If we go with 4 bowlers its negative/defensive thinking and is no good for teams future /consistency

Answer 293

i think that India play with 3 faster & 2 spiner 5 batsman

Answer 294

i think they should concentrate on the line and length and also most experienced and effective spin bowler Mr Kumble will help to win the game.

Answer 295

i think that they should play with 5 bowlers 3 faster and 2 spinner



zaheer khan, R P singh, pathan, harbajan, and another spinner me piyush chawla

Ball wicket to wicket.



Thats it.

Answer 298

Answer 299

If all these player will gather together then no one can defeat India. But there shoul be equiluibrium and understanding between the Indian players.

Answer 300

India should field 4 bowlers & 6 batsmen with dhoni.my playing eleven is: sehwag,jaffer,dravid, sachin,ganguly,laxman,dhoni,kumble,zaheer,sreesanth,rp singh

Answer 301

i think it is better to play 4 bowlers and 5 th bowlers quata can be devided between ganguly, tendulkar, yuvraj & shehwag.

Answer 302

i think india should go out with 5 bowlers zaheer rp singh sreesanth kumble and bhajji

Answer 303

work on the basics... and keep it simple..... Not try anything special.... especially sreesanth is a fine find... He is good bowler ... he has to be told to keep everything simple and work on his outswingers which he is the best... then comes others likes of RP singh and others

Answer 304

I think india should use 11 batsmen (5 allrounder ie like pathan,ganguly,praveenkumar,I sharma,zaheer& captain kumble for bowling)

Answer 305

i think india should go with two specialist spiner. one orthodox right handed spinner and other one a specialist lg spinner. added to these two fast bowler. with right and left combination. and lastly one medium pacer like ganguly. apart from these we should also take a full time all rounder.

Answer 306

obviously there should be 5 bowler on the tour of australia

1)sree santh

2)R P singh

3)anil(captain)

4)pathan

5)munaf patel or zaher khan

Answer 307

winning formula:

Fast bowlers,Fast Bowlers
Munaf Patel,Zaheer,Irfan,Shree,Ajit

You may exclude one batsman as they r of no use anyway to add Harbhajan, though no chance for spinners aprt from Kumble we dont have likes of Murali who did not fire even.

Even if u loose you Fought

Answer 308

For sure play 5 regular bowlers , with 2 regular quality spinners , just like we play in tests , one day attack shd be no different. for quality you require quality for , full 50 overs to contend with.

Answer 309

yes INDIA should play with 5 bowlers in final team two facers two seemers and one spinner in final team so that we can use part time spinner if necessary with second spinner

Answer 310

i think they should play with 4 phase bowlers and 1spin bowler, remaining partime spin bowler.

Answer 311

I think they should play 5 bowlers (spin & pace) but make sure that our bowlers line & length is perfect and avoid giving extras.



Basically we need our players to be mentally strong and have the killer instinct to win matches.

Answer 312

They are eagerly waiting to make mince meat of us. It is going to be grudge series as far as the Kangaroos are concerned. Look what they are doing to Sri Lanka and Murli - the chucker - in particular.

Answer 313

I think India ke pas aise bowler hai hi nahi jo Australian batsman par bhadi pade. India 3rd class thi aur rahegi



Australian alway is 1st class

Answer 314

Indians should keep efforts to bowl line and length.If Indians can give good spin attack,then they can bowl out Australians

Answer 315

bowl with spin from murali karthik, rohit sharma, harbajan singh, along with irritating bowler srisanth, rp singh, zaheer khan, and ofcourse with irphan pathan as an allrounder cadre.

Answer 316

i think sometime time the indian player are become so angry but after sometime nothinrmg . so they must have like burn in their heart for win. what is happen 20-20 match. evey thing is in control. its my personal suggetion. because australia is a team like india & nothing more i aspet form it. all the best india.

Answer 317

there would be 3 pacers and 2 spinners in test series against aussies

Answer 318

sreesanth and Zaheer with new ball

Irfan and RP singh if they are playing at Gabba

Anil Kumble the only spinner.



On a spinning track( forgot that ground) instead of RP they should play Harbhajan

Answer 319

They just need one good, genuine swing-bowler --- Australia can't play the swinging ball.

Answer 320

They should be attacking the aussies give tem a run fr ter money........having closing fielders for spinners and sresanth should be playing (bez i fnd aussies r lil bit jittery against him) thn gv the best hope fr the rest......god bless

Answer 321

yeah thats right...

i'll go for

1.bhaji

2.murali karthick*/powar/piyush

*-preffarably

3.irfan pathan

4&5.zaheer,r.p.singh and praveen kumar

irfan is already an all-rounder,so,zaheer is must and its praveen or r.p. bcz his performance as a debutant in the final one-dayer against pak was awesome in the opening spell before his 6th over...he swings the ball good and keeps it in right position...so he can open with zaheer as a left and right combination and we can restrict them in the power plays which was our drawback....in the middle overs we camn have murali,pathan and bhaji and its better that murali ends his spell before 40th over as his balls would be badly treated during slog overs....

lets hope for the best

CHAK DE INDIA!!!!!!!!

Answer 322

india tour to australlia is important team selection is key factor

one day or test i will go for 5 bowlers in australlia my favarate

1.zaheer khan

2.Irfan pathan

3.srisanth

4.murali karthick/RP singh according to condition of pitch

5.Harbajan singh



batsmen

1.ganguly

2.sachin

3.Dravid

4.Yuvaraj

5.Sewag

6.dhoni

Answer 323

even i think so they should go for 5 bowlers since indian team have been failin to get this australian team in under any pressure. indian team shold gp for irfan,shreeshant,r p singh harbhajan and murali kartik.

Answer 324

Get some Fast bowlers from PUNJAB, JHARKHAND or from some other remote placeses with some AGRESSIVE nature & keep them checking

Answer 325

Accuracy is the key, basics like stump to stump bowling ,not allowing them to free arms backed by good fielding.It is also important to attack them and using lot of variations so that they do not settle .I think four seamers and one genuine spinner is a must.If spinner proves effective then our part time spinners like sachin etc can also bowl.

Answer 326

As about australia we (indian) team should play 3 fast and 2 speeners. that would be perfect combination and this will really work for us.

Answer 327

We need Pathan, Zaheer and Sreesanth in our side. Pathan should bring back his swinging ability back. Sreesanth should deliver his best balls always. He is a genuine swinger of the ball. Zaheer can control the side.

Answer 328

Performance is very very good by our BLUE BOYS but the main thing is who ever may be the bowlers it dosnt mind ...

As per my analysis we sholud not maintain partenership relation between the batsmens .....

Dilip.....

Answer 329

Our Hero Sreesanth will Play In all The Tests....

Answer 330

I hope playing Harbajan, Kumble,zaheer khan,RP singh and sreesanth will provide way to bowling success

Answer 331

5 Main bowlers, two spin in that.

Answer 332

Making strategies for players such as pointing,clarke & gilchrist with different and acccurate fielding and bowling.A medium pacer is important.

Answer 333

Zaheer and sreesanth may do fine but we need one more fast bowler that can bowl consistent line and length.

Answer 334

the indian team should have good fielding as well as spin bowling with 5 members

Answer 335

They should play four pace bowlers and one genuine spinner or spinner allrounder.

Answer 336

No, they should use 4 bowler and two spinner. And offcourse the allrounder and new comers were a good chance to prove himself.............

Answer 337

hello, i think there is no need to change any strategy even bowling , becz the indian team which u r looking is very very talented n young blood , but they have to need to perform the same game which they r performing.



thx n regd

Answer 338

they should open the attack with zhaeer and sreesanth.sreesanth will be the key factor in those conditions and five bowlers will be a good choice.....

Answer 339

Bowl wicket to wicket....thats the only strategy. It is applicable to any country india is bowling.

Answer 340

i think the only strategy is to bowl the correct line and length.

The bowlers should stick to the stumps which frustates the batsman and compel them to make errors.

Answer 341

i also think they should play 5 bowlers and unpair against aus.

Answer 342

india should play at least six bowlers.

Answer 343

i think we should play with four fast or midium fast bowler and two off spinner , cauze ausiz are geesy to off spin boling bolower like harbhajan , murlikarti, piush can cotribut with bat also

Answer 344

i think the best line is bowl stump to stumps no width.an al...and al tis talk aus gonna trash us common get over it.u didn't do anythin in T20's .i think sreesanth must bowl he's got to cntrl his temper tat's one thing but he's got lot of passion and after all tis talk of him being aggresive..he'l try to prove everyone wrng.........

and other tat i think the whole team must lift ther games...like wat they did last time around......i think pathan he's hell of a bowler now and ever dependable kumble and r.p singh and zaheer kahn...tat will do and tendulkar can support wit ganguly also if needed..and one more thing is they've got to field better...if they field better itself they'l be a diffrnt outfit.......

comme on indiaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....................

Answer 345

First stop watching cricket and do your job? That should be a good idea to leave the cricketers to deicde than we do.



I dont know how you think and waste others time by asking their opinion.

Answer 346

they should indulge with 3 pacers and 2 spinners.the pacers should be namely zaheer,sreesanth and pathan.murali karthik will play a key role here.fifth option could be whoever is in the form.either bhajji or anybody.

Answer 347

we need to play with 5 bowlers.



Most of them are omitting Anil kumble(who became captain now).Whether decide harbajan or murali karthik.Or to omit one fast bowler.

Answer 348

They have to play confidently rather than think that they are playing against the world champions.

Answer 349

india should play with 5 main bowler , they are

zaheer khan,irfan phatan,harbhajan,sreesanth,komble

Answer 350

i think more practice before playing and rahul dravid must play for against australia series

According to me Ajit Agarkar should be taken back in team because he can swing the ball well

Answer 352

First make a line of Australian team and then kick them all first then start your bowling and make a line or lenght ..and gets a wicket

Answer 353

I think it's not how many will bowl, it's the line and length which they will have to mentain in the whole series.

Answer 354

whatever combination be it - pace Vs spin, Discipline is the most crucial element...bowling in the right places...like Mc Grath...like Srinath during our 2003 world cup...like Ashish Nehra during our 2003 world cup...just keep bowling in the right spots and that is it!

Answer 355

nothing less than 5 frontline bowlers..........irfan should add depth in the batting........probably we need another genuine bowling allrounder in the team like Kapil Dev......

Answer 356

india's strength is spin so kumble, harbhajan nd karthik should given more importance.

zahirkhan and r.p.singh should bowl with line and length.

pathan should hav been selected for tests.

Answer 357

REINFORCE THE BATTING LINEUP AS INDIA'S STRENGTH IS ITS BATTING. WITH ANIL AS SKIPPER ZAHEER, PATHAN AND RP ARE ENOUGH TO CONTROL THE AUSSIES. GANGULY'S MEDIUM PACE CAN ALSO BE HANDY. BUT KUMBLE WILL DEFINITELY HAVE A BETTER STRATEGY.

Answer 358

I think the team should not depend on bowling coach, bcoz the coach must have good records on his name and not only he should coach the department for profession reason.

Answer 359

Ok... Now to be at best against Ausies..... I suggest a stratergy.. where no runs will be scored by Ausies.....

The stratergy is.... Dont bowl...........;-)

Dhoni should go to Ponting.... n tell him .. tht Indians wont bowl untill he ensures.. tht Ausies will not score any run.......



This is the only way out for Dhoni..............

India should paly with five boowlers. with the lightning of

Ajit

Irfan

R p singh

Zaheer

Harbhajan

Answer 364

according to me Indian pacers should learn to vary their pace, as they are very consistent with it(except Pathan) which makes it easier for batsman(specially talented ones from australia) to understand the ball n then very easily capatalise on it.

Answer 365

india should play with following bowlers

Irfan

RP

Sreesant

Pravin Kumar

Harbhan Singh

Answer 372

shoiuld promote three fast bowlers and two spinners...RP singh ,irfan And Sree shanth are good chices

Answer 373

vengasarkar is playing dirty politics and sdravid batted in five diff positions in five matches and robin batted at no 7 in 4 matches and no 3 in last match

gambir batted at no 3 in 4 matches and opened innings in last match

ganguly batted as opener in all five innigs where as opener he had chace to face more balls so that can build innings slowly without any pressure increasing runrate

dravid five innigns against strong bowling of ausses while ganguly gambir and robin all against the weakest bowling of pakistan only one innings against aussies

ASk tendulkar, ganguly gambir dhoni and sewag to bat at five diff positions in five matches against aussies then u see the differnece in performance and strike rate

they should bat down in order when team in trouble and go up in order when there was pressure of increasing runrate and less balls to face

why same rule which applied for dravid not applicable to other players

Dravid took 10 catches in 5 innings while robin only five and gambire and ganguly only one each

vengi and co played dirty politics to drop dravid from odis why not same yardstick appoies to others dravid was dropped after 4 bad perfomance batting in diff positions in five matches

bjji was wktless in 6 matces till he took 2 for 43 in 4th odi against ausses he never dropped but played full seires against pakistan

zahirkhan performs once in 5-6 matches but he is survived

gnaguly's last five innings 0 39 6 39 with 3 lifes and 5 but he is stilll part of odi team gnaguly is worst fielder and poor in running btn wkt thany any other player

RP singh replaced sresant but proved he is worst than sresant.

dhoni always gets runs in dead pitiches of subcontinent but he was total failure in fast bouncy pitiches of SA and WI

rules never applies to tendulkar

If performance is yardstick to drop players then tendulkar, dhoni, zahir bajji and gnaguly would have out of team long time before..

Vengasarkar told dravid did not inform him after resinging captaincy Even tendulkar declined captaincy offered by vengi. |Even TOI reporeted that vengasarkar tried to persue tendulkar twice

now vengasarkar will take revenge against tendulkar?

Answer 374

Indian's bowling is now improving compare to previous years.

I hope they will do good work in that serious.

Answer 375

We need two or three all rounders. Not only we have to concentrate on bowling. We need to concentrate on batting & fielding also.

Answer 376

the best way to restrict aus...... is our blowers has to fire like every man has to blow the ball at avg speed 145.00 km......

and vary each ball and make the australian under pressure to score runs. Irfan pathan has to blow at 145km + ... Zaheer khan has to blow more bouncers . sreeshanth has to already in fire...he is faster and agressive... should be normal in australia..... because....i will but aus under pressure........

Answer 377

simple, 20 wickets a test. wont matter who plays they will have to bowl tight

Answer 378

Give up and go home. This is the only stratigy that will work for the indian team.

Answer 379

i think they have to swing the ball at every time then only they can have an edge over them and thats why england have won the ashes over them in 2005
