Nice to see India losing

Nice to see India losing; these subcontinent teams are allowed far too many subcontinent games.

Kohli's utter failure in each test has shocked me. I thought this guy was the next Tendulkar.

When WI tour India soon, we might even beat them. We got a good crop of Test players coming up, who will like toothless Indian conditions.

[size=14pt]After the severe trashing administered to them by the Pommies, the dhoti bais will be anxiously looking forward to the West Indies tour of India in October 2014. That's when pretenders like Kohli and Dawan will come alive again and dominate the mediocre WI bowling.[/size]

You think our bowling attack will be mediocre then too?

Sammy had a horrible bowling attack during his tour.

Ramdin should go to India with: Narine, Badree, Holder, Beaton, Cotterell, Gabriel, Taylor, Roach. That's a very good selection to choose from.

Holy !  trinidaddy , ...dem names is OVERKILL fun team India !

Which of them would you select? Would you play 4 bowlers or 5? I feel like I'm leaving out a Barbados bowler (the name slips my mind).

Gabriel has been very good this CPL. He has always had pace, but he is growing some brains. I like Cotterell too - does anyone know the speeds he gets?

Taylor and Roach, of course, are proven at the test level.

Holder we haven't gotten a good look at in tests.

Badree and Narine are class.

But which combination will kill India? The problem usually, is we knock their top order down and the middle order milk the old ball.

Carlos Brathwaite....

India cant deal with the mediocre bajan Chris Jordan : 14 overs 3 - 32

you gonna give them faster 90+ mph ?

Spare a thought .... ::LOL::

"India cant deal with the mediocre bajan Chris Jordan"

And Indian pitches suck all the pace/bounce out of your bowling too, so we need movement over extreme pace. The problem is, Indian air conditions dont give you much movement either.

It's not easy selecting a bowling unit for India.

Seriously, WI have a very decent shot if the batting holds up and the pitches are conductive to pace bowling. Bowling cupboard isn't THAT bad - it's far better than it used to be and there are much more options.

India's batting has looked decisively mediocre at best (and I think that's being charitable) Given the way they have played Moeen Ali, I would imagine Narine and Badree must be liking their chops at the thought of bowling to Dhawan, Rahane, Pujara et al.
