The main challenge we are going to face in windies tour are bouncers.As we all know that indian players are not such good at playing bouncers (or) short-pitch deliveries.But some players like laxman,dravid,sachin used to play those deliveries very well.So,in the current indian team which is going to windies.Who is better in playing bouncers.I don't think there are no one who can play those deliveries very well in our team.I want all of your opinions.

I think in the current Squad no one can play the short balls very well.
My point of view dhoni handles the short balls well but not playing the big shorts. And then yusuf will be the Better Player for facing the Short balls now current Squad of the Indian Team

I agree with you dhoni played early shorts with this innings.
Now a days dhoni not hitting Big shorts but he Played average in the One day's so he maintain the first Place on the Top 10 ICC squad.

Playing the short ball requires absolute control or else it will easily land in the hands of a fielder.Even players like Yuvraj can find the short ball a bit discomforting.Apart from yuvraj, I dont see any other player who is well equipped to handle short balls.

hi.you mentioned sachin,dravid and lazman as players who can play short balls well but neither of those 3 are in the squad.the only two players who can bat well against short balls are yuvi and seh'whack'.rohit can play well if only he stay in the crease for atleast 4 overs and if his confidence is high.

The player who can be a challege for windies against bouncers is YUVRAJ SINGH. Because he is tall and like to play all shorts. So, he will be the best against bouncers. Apart from him,no one is there, such that they can be perfect against bouncers. Gambhir and Rohit can play a little..
