Is that I can't see India winning a series in Oz in the immediate future.
Reason: The two tracks used in the series so far have had some bounce, but
slow bounce, and *every* Indian batsman has played the short ball in the
range of poorly to atrociously. I suspect that their trainer would be
making a lot of trips to the middle in a Test in Oz.

Is this anything like how Australia were going to bounce Ganguly out at
Brisbane in 2003/04?

You do realize that India won the Perth test on their last visit
there, don't you? I know it's not the Perth of old, but still...

Could have won the series too but for Waaa Sydney.

Seeing as how irrelevance is your theme du jour...
How are the Kiwis going against the Bangles in their odo series AD?

What exactly has Kiwi performance against Bangles have to do with India's
(in)ability to play the short stuff....lolz when will ya guys give up this
myth about Indian Test teams' inability to play the short stuff. Anyway
you can live in your delusionary world.

O I remember during the Perth test after the partnership between RP and
Ishant (?), Harish Bhimani or Shastri was interviewing RP in Hindi and
asking him how the partnership was going...what were their thoughts. RP
said proudly that Ishant said he was finding Mitch difficult so he asked
RP to handle Mitch and that he could take care of tatu tuta
Tait...lolz...they hyoed him up so much that our number 11 said I'll take
him...har har har har...all the tatu tuta about Tait

Like Zak said when ya guys came here in 2008, "they couldn't get me and
Bhajji out, what they'll take 20 wickets?"

Come on Alvey, I know it was a throw away but still

Exactly the same as what someone else apparently said 7 years ago to what I
said.

"Myth"???? Remind me how many series Whingdia have won in Oz & RSA. Jaysus!
Whingdia couldn't even beat the Aust 3rd XI in 1977/8.

Your beloved BCCI will threaten to pull out of the tour after 1 test,
Cricket
Australia will agree to give the Indian team the pitches - and just
about
anything else - it wants, Aus players will admit to being mentally
disintegrated (as Gilchrist did last time), and India will win the
series.

Good ol Al has a point here.

Whatever be the performances of the Indian team in last 2 years, they
are yet to play in Aus and RSA  and win a series.

Even in last tour to Eng in 2007, 2 or 3 main English bowlers were
injured otherwise it would have been a big task for India to win.

So lets wait and watch rather than go on to either extremes.
We are touring RSA, Eng and Aus next year, so everything will
be on the table then.
