Opening Batsmen
by jamescunnin on Nov 17, 2007 12:46 AM

the big difference is that when we went to Australia the last time we had a Viru in Hot form and a A Chopra determined to keep the Aussies out no matter what! From one end we had a dasher that counter punched the bowling attack and from the other end a guy blocking it out and rotating strike !! SO we got starts most visiting teams dreamt about in their wettest WET DREAM!!

This time around I think the test opening batsmen are not capable of giving them a solid foundation, like in England we get the likes of Dravid and Tendulkar facing a relative new ball and unlike the english the Aussies will be all over them like a bad rash! Some how we got to get some solid openers ready for the tour!

To look at the positives this would be the best attack we taking to Aussie shores for ages! could be capable of grabbing 20 of their wickets in a test!!
