Lol, India has a terrible bowling attack compared to most other top nations
Humm again nonsense - Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Sing would get into every test team (apart from when Swann is playing).
And anyway, what relevance has that to Viv Richards' assault against England and Adam Gilchrist's against sri lanka? or in a very difference breath Shane Watson's against Bangladesh?

Langer is that same Indian attack with contributed to dethrone Australia as World Champions?

Australia's attack is pretty pitiful if truth be told.

Watson slogged around some crap bowlers. His innings isn't in the top 10 all time innings.

Off topic you found anywhere to get them shirts yet Jeet.

Agree with everything people are saying but 185 in 20 odd overs is special no matter who your playing i would call it amazing hitting

Australia's batting struggled, not India dominating them. White sould have been dropped, but he wasnt for some reason. My Indian mate who goes against Australia in every sport, not matter who they are playing, agreed with me that India's attack minus Zaheer, is very average.'

You can say he slogged crap bowlers all around the park, but at the end of the day he still did it, with 15 sixes and at a strike rate of almost 200. You would be hard pressed to point out another innings like that. At no stage did I ever compare his innings to Richards or Gilchrist's, so I have no idea why people have bought up those innings, as they are on a different scale and arent even relevant to the topic. I didnt say it was the best, because its not, Watson's display was awesome in its own right, and will go down as one of the great one day innings.

But it will not be in Jeet's eyes because Watson is not Indian. In fact I saw a documentary the other day discovered that in fact cricket was not invented in England some 500 years ago but first played in the back streets of India lol!!!!

Oz struggled because India's bowling is poor? You're either mentally challenged or deranged. Oz only got 260 cos India didn't allow them to get more. Simple really.

Watson's 185 will be remembered like Hayden's 380. Bashing the minnows and will soon be forgotten

Peplow - pretty funny, I suspect Matty H hasn't forgotten it either!

Ask anyone and they all ways says Brian Lara 375 or 400. I've never came across anyone saying Hayden's 380...

I beleive that it was Australia's batting that struggled and not India's bowling dominating them. I watched the ashes and the one day series against England, and there wasnt one game where everyone contributed with the bat, it was more that 1 or 2 players went really well and the rest were really just there filling space.

Call me mentally challenged all you want mate, Watson's innings was great and sorry you can never change that!

I'd like to see you get 380 mate! At the end of the day I am fairly confident that most would agree that 185 of 96 balls is a very, very good score and rate, so stop bashing him.
