how good is indias batting line up?

in ODI:

sehwag
gambhir
tendulkar
raina
yuvraj
dhoni
yusuf pathan
irfan pathan
harbhajan
zaheer
ishant

has there ever been a better, more powerful top 8? even 9 and 10 can biff it around. why cant the world cup be tomorrow?

cue the jealous aussie filth that inhabits this forum...

It'd need to be good given the shiteness of that bowling line up

hehe...munaf, RP or sreesanth would probably get ahead of irfan. zaheer-ishant-munaf-harbhajan isn't the worst attack in the world. remind me of australias bowling line up?

In the next Gilly our bowling line up will be something like

Lee/Tait
Johnson
Bracken
Clark/Watson/Hopes
Hauritz ...but I'd prefer Heal

with Symonds and Clarke to fill in

"In form" a very good line up ...but a few question marks as to whether they can be "in form"

Almost every one in the current batting line up bats fast and its long enough that in 90% of the games it won't collapse so when they do fully click you can almost certainly expect a score around 350. It will be interesting to know their average score(as a team) in the last 15 or 20 ODIs.

he is 23 or so his coach says.

Coaches are much more accurate than birth certificates

Last Year (29 ODI)

What about this mob for the 1979 WC final:
----------------------------------------------------------

Greenidge
Haynes
King Viv
Lloyd
Kallicharran
Collis King

what do you all think about his bowling action. See the clip titled 'warm up drill' .. very easy paced action.

His action looked ok ...but I'd need to see how he looked against a batsman

Atul Sharma looks like a browner, less grey version of Mick McCarthy.
