Re: Aussie's tour of India review.

Matters not helped by losing the toss either.

The away team calls the flip

Further evidence of Pontings poor captaincy!

Re: Aussie's tour of India review.

The problem with this series seemed to be a lack of preparation and picking the wrong bowlers for the tour. There plans totally went out of the window when Symonds went awol and McGain went down with injury. White was a terrible choice for a spinner. They needed to choose a bowler who is a medium pacer with an effective slower ball. If you can recall back to the 2004 series in India, we chose as the pace attack as McGrath, Gillespie, Kasprowicz and Warney as the spinner. They were medium pacers, all had top slower balls, Gilly (stand in captain for the tour) stacked the off side fields with an in out field and it worked. Stop India scoring boundaries, frustrate them to boredom and pouce. There was non of that this series.

As for people saying that India are no1, what an absolute disgrace. They only play well at home and whenever they play Australia. Remember they lost a series in Sri Lanka this year, and they beaten Australia in a series in Australia for who knows how long. It would have to be 20+ years.

to be fair, and I hate saying this, but they have thumped us in the past 6 test matches against them (first test was the closest since sydney to looking like winning).

last 6 tests against india

3 draws
3 losses

I agree with ponting though, you have to win lots of series over a few years to be named number 1.

Did you actually read all of those posts, or because they were over a paragraph long, you just skimmed them? They weren't all negative, in fact those who deserved praise got it.
