Credit where it is due; Well done England.
There is some serious thinking for our team to do. The top priority is to find wicket takers and make tough decisions. IMO Harbhajan has completely lost it, he needs to go. Yuvraj can come in and take his spot without any significant loss in the spin bowling department. Here is my team for the next text:
Mukund
Ghambir
Dravid
Tendulkar
Laxman
Raina
Yuvraj
Dhoni
Ishant
Sree
Munaf
Parveen has bowled very well in this test, but he lacks the pace required to trouble a set batsman. His five wicket haul was a great effort, but lets be honest, he isn't going to run through the English side. I hope we do not play Zaheer in the next test, we can not afford to play with two bowler + Harbhajan again.
I know the above team seems light on the bowling front, but it a stronger bowling unit than what we had in the first test.
Your thoughts?
Well done England

i'm not prepared to get into a debate over the best bowling attack of all time, but i would merely suggest that england have the strongest bowling attack currently in world cricket, by a distance. added to the conditions, which heavily favour the england bowlers, i think it will be very tough for the indian batsmen

I didn't say of all time.
I'm not that stupid.

When I said that this England attack is a match for anyone, I was talking about current teams which is the only important criteria.
How great attacks in the past were, is not relevant to the present.

Nonsense, cricket more than any other game is a constant comparison of records past and present.

Not on the field of play it isn't!!
Whether Warne is greater than Swann or Harbhajan is not going to influence the result of the test starting on Friday.

I let you into a secret NoHopeForTheBest, the majority of cricket is played in the head....... reputations count a lot.
You should try playing a game or two. It's fun!

You obviously play something in your head but it is probably psychedelic.

NoHopeForTheBest, you have a vivid imagination.
However, I was being serious. Crickets' a fun game to play, but when it gets serious that's when the mind games set in.
You just stick to the "fun game" where reputations count for nothing eh?

Cry - You're obviously one of those fans who when a star batsmen comes to the crease, or a star bowler comes on to bowl, wets his pants with excitement.
