What are your thoughts?

Answer 1

Lol,..i belive no way their bowling get leathal~

Answer 2

I can't really picture the Indian pacers taking wickets in the ODI series. I will still cheer for them. But Harbhajan might get some assistance from the pitch. If India want to win the ODI series, they have to rely on thier batsmen a lot more!

Answer 3

they can be n one or two matches but not for all 5 matches ..they cant sustain their form long enough.

Answer 4

Yes..they will wipe out sillenka.

Answer 5

patel

The Indian Bowling is not penetrative, my friend, with the absence of Agarkar, Chawla and Sreesanth. Let us see what the selected bowlers did in their career.

(1) Zaheer Khan: 144 matches, Wickets per match - 1.40; Runs Conceded per wicket - 29.40; Balls per wicket - 36. My rating - 57.3 Marks.

(2) Irfan Pathan: 100 matches, Wickets per match - 1.45; Runs Conceded per wicket - 29.44; Balls per wicket - 34. My rating - 56.3 Marks.

(3) Praveen kumar: 12 matches, Wickets per match - 1.33; Runs Conceded per wicket - 32.56; Balls per wicket - 41. My rating - 53 Marks.

(4) RP Singh Jr: 44 matches, Wickets per match - 1.32; Runs Conceded per wicket - 31.16; Balls per wicket - 36. My rating - 50.6 Marks.

(9) Suresh Raina: 44 matches, Wickets per match - 0.02; Runs Conceded per wicket - 48; Balls per wicket - 38. My rating - 0.9 Marks.

Sri Lanka has not selected SL Malinga and Kaushal Lokuarachchi which appears to be wrong. They also have not kept Malinga Bandara and Maharoof and Zoysa. Let us see what SRL has:

(4) Dilhara Fernando: 124 matches, Wickets per match - 1.30; Runs Conceded per wicket - 29.30; Balls per wicket - 34. My rating - 52.7 Marks.

(8) Kaushalya Weeraratne: 15 matches, Wickets per match - 0.40; Runs Conceded per wicket - 64.17; Balls per wicket - 80. My rating - 18.8 Marks.

(9) Dilshan: 147 matches, Wickets per match - 0.31; Runs Conceded per wicket - 43.04; Balls per wicket - 55. My rating - 13.4 Marks.

Sri Lanka's bowling appears stronger. Do you agree ?

Answer 7

matches will be decided on batting ~ check Sehwag , Yuvi and Dhoni hitting you guys out on the road outside the Premdasa~

hope it helps ~

god bless!

Answer 8

so big q

Answer 9

I'm afraid not.

CB series was in australia where the pitch was supportive of pace bowlers.

if you argue that ishant got the ball talking in the test series in srilanka it was because of the pitch.

but Dambulla and R.premadasa stadium the latter is a batting paradise, while both venues support the spinners more than seamers.

there won't be any swing nor seam movement whatsoever after the first 45 minutes.

my choice will be out of these khan, patel, and singh. guess what srilanka will play vass, maha, dilhara & M&M as bowlers with the usual jayasuriya and dilshan. its upto you to guess which bowling attack is lethal

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

zaheer and  ishant are having a good form so they should attack the batsmen

harbhajan, praghyan ojh and chawla should try to remove the well settled batsmen

irfan,rp singh and munaf are not in form

i think sreesanth should be a good choice

Answer 12

could be... may be spinner could make difference
