Please remove the word 'strong' for now. 'Strong' can be added after the series depending on the performance.

Doesn't matter how strong the squad is, it depends how they play on that day!! The present bunch have become very unpredictable!! In most cases when batting clicks the bowlers give it away when the bowlers restrict the opponents then the batting fails. We've seen this too often!!
