<p>The Indians still need to play strong away from home. Which leads to your other point, they need some heat. They boys they've got now may be OK but I have my doubts. Zaheer Khan is probably their best bet as long as he can keep his head screwed on.</p>Brett Pee commented on 'NOTHING BUT THE TEST'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d83474789069e22004-07-23T19:06:27Z2007-08-16T07:59:29ZBrett PeeKey looks like Billy Bunter- a most rotund pie eater if ever i saw one.

<p> Jacques Kallis over Andy Flintoff- no contest mate, no bloody contest, The Sarf Afrikaan gets the nod there, a true test match all-rounder and these days very consistent.He is a better bowler when the ball is swinging, more attacking, where Flintoff seems to bowl to contain.Not sure about Vaughan opening now- he looks set for a no.4 slot in the forseeable future.</p>
<p> An heir apparent to us as No.1 ? If the Indians can unearth a couple of genuine Test class quickies, then i could see them assuming the mantle.</p>Tony.T commented on 'NOTHING BUT THE TEST'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d8343f0edf53ef2004-07-23T07:05:41Z2007-08-16T08:02:06ZTony.Thttp://aftergrog.drivelwarehouse.com/When?

It's no surprise he managed 160 odd against THIS particular West Indies "battery", yet has struggled against everyone else.</p>Tony.T commented on 'NOTHING BUT THE TEST'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d8343f140953ef2004-07-23T06:40:34Z2007-08-16T08:04:08ZTony.Thttp://aftergrog.drivelwarehouse.com/Somehow, Nardo, I don't think the Aussies will feed the Poms like the Windies did last night.

Be interesting to finally see if Strauss can handle PROPER test match bowling.</p>os commented on 'NOTHING BUT THE TEST'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d83474789469e22004-07-23T06:40:20Z2007-08-16T08:04:09ZosAnd Holland have beaten Australia too.

As I see it, though, The Poms are coming along nicely and we will have to be at our best to beat them next year. Anything less and they will ambush us.</p>Richard T commented on 'NOTHING BUT THE TEST'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d8347486ec69e22004-07-23T05:24:48Z2007-08-16T09:41:13ZRichard TI heard somewhere that England has replaced South Africa as # 2 on the world rankings.
