I find the english bowling attack very good and very respected around the world.Harmison can really get quick at times and he is always a frighteing bowler to face{ask the Bangaladeshies)Freddie can also get fired up,Hoggard is just a captains perfect bowler with his swing at about130+ is very effective,Jones aint i let off he is quick and accurate. The Aussies also have a good attack.Lee is very quick South Africa have what i say the best attack,Pollock is anther Mr Perfect,Nel s aggressive,quick and i never say die bowler.Ntini is another hard worker who is quick,Langeveldt can swing the bowl at 135+,Zondeki can also swing the bowl at 140+. The Indain attack is also quite good.Pathan,Kahn,Nehra all swing the bowl very well in both directions at roughly 135+.Agakhar is developing ito a a good bowler. If you think otherwise please feel free to say who else ------------- josh |
and accurate,McGrath is just Mr Perfect,Gillispie is also quick and accurate.Basically the whole team is accurate and quick.

| England has the most consistently strong quartet with no weak links |

Except Simon Jones's injury proneness. Hopefully Plunkett will prove the real deal though so we can have five to choose from. ------------- |

harmison,hoggard,s.jones,plunkett,flintoff,j.anderson,k.ali, a.wharf you got 8 quicks i reckon freddy and anderson are the most effective in odis and hoggard,harmison and freddy in tests everyone think simon jones is a great bowler he is but hes only had one good series which was the ashes ------------- Check out my blog http://crictopia.blogspot.com/ pretty bad though... |

Wharf hasn't played for a while now, you've actually forgotten Gough, although given the fact that he's been left out of the India touring party his days may be over. Kabir Ali hasn't really made the step up to top level as we thought he might. Don't write Jones off just like that - he did a very good job in the West Indies and was better than Harmison in South Africa. ------------- |

I have went with England because we ripped the 'best batting lineup' to pieces in the summer

hmmm, no Pakistan. 
Anyway, Austarlia has the best pace attack. England also have a strong pace attack because they have learned the art of reverse swing, which back in the 2 Ws days was considered ball tampering.

Pakistan have a good pace bowling attack with Akhtar, Naved and Sami. But I don't think they have the consistency of Australia's or England's ------------- |

sometimes naved and sami can be a little expenxive at times but on most occasions do well arshad khan should get a call for the second test against india hes been in good form of late ------------- Check out my blog http://crictopia.blogspot.com/ pretty bad though... |

south africa and austalia both have the best bowling attack but south africa lacking in spin department. like bret lee there is andre nel, glenn mcgrath is similar to pollock in regard to economy ------------- eat cricket,sleep cricket, dream cricket,play cricket,.,,,,,,,,,,, |

England by a country mile! Apart from Hoggard , all are quick (90mph) and all are different. Australia have Lee and McGrath and a few kids and Pakistan have Shoiab , Naved and Sami - pretty good units , both!
Because of their tweakers Australia have the better balanced attack - but England more than match them for pace bowlers. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

Well if you said that Pakistan have the best pace bowling attack wel guess again because Dravid And Sehwag are only 11runs short of the current world record for the first wicket stnd which stands at 413.Well that just says a lot about the pakistan attack doesn't it ------------- josh |

Not really, it says a lot more about the pitch and India's batting than it does about the Pakistani bowling attack. ------------- |

Well, both teams have batted great but I have to hand it to India. They have batted better.
As for Pakistan's pace attack. Shoaib's the spear-head. Rana and Sami can be expensive but are useful too. Rana can be very dangerous at times. |

i also think that england also need a classic spinner like india, pakistan,australia even thought there is giles. i dont think he is a spinner who kind a win s games for his team even though he can take 1 or 2 wickets often ------------- eat cricket,sleep cricket, dream cricket,play cricket,.,,,,,,,,,,, |

| England have really never produced a class spinner. |
Posted By: Sledger
Date Posted: 19 January 2006 at 6:18am
Of course not Saad , that's why the world record holder for a test match happens to be a certain Jim Laker !! How's 19-90 at Old Trafford against Australia sound? Not bad for someone without class , don't you think? ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

Ok, My mistake. England have produced only a few class spinners. |

| England has a fine pace attack. That's because they tamper the ball like Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Imran Khan, and Sarfraz Nawaz use to. But now, its called reverse swing, its called an art, its not called ball tampering. Wasim and Waqar were penalized for ball tampering when they used reverse swing, but now English bowlers are given compliments by everyone for mastering this art. |

| I see. India has a good bowling attack but in first test at Lahore (it was at Lahore right?), no bowling attack would've looked good. |

yeah the pitch was a disgrace at lahore where is the second test being played ------------- Check out my blog http://crictopia.blogspot.com/ pretty bad though... |

Its being played at Faislabad. Lets hope that this pitch isn't another batting paradise.
Pakistan has a good pace attack. They didn't do so hot in Lahore but that wasn't their fault. Shoaib, Rana, and Sami are good bowlers but Rana and Sami can be expensive. |

india should drop agarkar for only one test one test only and bring in excitement machine rudrap singh whos average in odis with the ball is 15 or zaheer khan who has experience ------------- Check out my blog http://crictopia.blogspot.com/ pretty bad though... |

Well, I don't know who this Rudrap Singh is because since I started liking cricket, I haven't seen him play. I'm going to go check him out on cricinfo.
I think they should bring back Zaheer Khan. He is experienced. |

rudrap singh his 20 medium quick pacer he is the next ajit agarkar in my opinion made he's international debut in the odi series against sri lanka where he took 7 wickets with an average of 15 ------------- Check out my blog http://crictopia.blogspot.com/ pretty bad though... |

Date Posted: 19 January 2006 at 9:22pm
| Well, that's a great start. Maybe they should bring him in instead of Zaheer. |

yeah if they do it will be his test debut its like making your debut in the ashes but only bigger i think in the third match he should be brought in the odi series he shall be in evry match and umar gul should get a call-up for pakistan last time he played them he destroyed them taking a 5 wicket haul in his fist innings sachin,sehwag,dravid,laxman,patel where he's scalps ------------- Check out my blog http://crictopia.blogspot.com/ pretty bad though... |

Well, maybe as Sledger said, they should make India vs. Pakistan the Ashes of Asia.
Umar Gul should certainly get a call-up because he was destructive against India before and we can expect him to do something like that again. |
