After this series between the aussies and the Indians I think sreesanth, Roy and haydos should sit down and talk about fishing, cooking and I don’t know something sreesanth likes, boxing?
Then a group hug I think.
Seriously fellas none of us are taking this series seriously, why are you?
Ofcourse the truth is this series does mean shit, but it’s not the series these angry young men are playing for. To put it simply, the Indians want to move in on the Aussies turf, and the Aussies are planning on defeating the Indians before the test series starts in Melbourne.
This series is taken about as seriously as the Golden Globes, but every one wants to win the Globe so they can be the front runner for the Oscar.
Lets break down the 3 innings so far.
Dhoni’s captaincy was looking awesome, then Australia put pressure on his bowlers and he looks more like Stephen Fleming now, looking for people to fill holes everywhere. Now he needs more arms than Krishna (first Hindu reference).
Haddin, Hayden and Roy are looking pretty good. Hodge is a weakness but will be replaced shortly. Maybe Australia should look at brining MacGill back, so he and Sreesanth can have hissy fits together.
The Indian top order looked good, but suddenly the old men have shifted the balance. Their walking frames are slowing the Indians down in the field too.
The Indian bowling was their main weapon in the 2020. Now they have been dismantled twice in a row, the fast bowling Singh looks a but intimidated, Sreesanth is going to far, attacking the aussies is great, giving them shit balls to attack you back on is your problem. Even Nel knows that.
So Australia is winning the battle so far. India will re group though, Sreesanth will learn to curb himself, Singh will bowl some good spells and maybe even the batting line up will learn to bat with the old dudes.
Problem is for India. Australia are still not full strength, you don’t wanna get pantsed in your home country by anyone just after you win your first major piece of silverware since Dev’s mullet was cool. Especially since Hussey, Rick, Watson and Bracken haven’t been a presence here.
Dhoni may come out of this series ok, that isn’t his problem however. His problem is when he gets to Australia, down here we are vicious on touring captains, we have destroyed many a leader of cricket sides. And without McGrath and Warne we will be even more abusive, domineering and downright annoying to Dhoni.
Hopefully Dhoni is not next.
