Vamos Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 This is exactly why cricket fans give some of the worst insights about the game and team selection. Those who want Kohli to retire so badly are now silent This is why you should support players at their worst moments, not just at their best. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irresponsible shot, maybe yes but not selfish. He came at the most difficult situation when both openers were out early, way more pressure situation than when dhoni came in. And the game was all but over when Gambhir got out. Yeah it was gautam who carry the match on his shoulder from that weak starting position.

AtheK Posted February 24 Author Report Share Posted February 24 Good to see him score though, IPL is coming I hope now Rohit can step up and playbsome good three innings and win CT. Though it is sorry state of cricket overall now, stadium was half occupied at start of match. I hope kohli can also stay in form, though in white ball cricket he was in a good nick anyway.

Felix the cat Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I also noticed, he's looking underweight, it is sad to see him like that. The GOD has 7 test centuries in 2010 at 37 year of age, which include two double centuries. Inse ODI nhi khela ja rha, aisa kaise ho skta hai, something is not right.

Zod Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Sachin se compare karna band karo. Sachin made those centuries against Wasim Akram, Younis and Akhtar. Current Australian bowling and Pakistan bowling nowhere near dangerous and lethal compared to Sachin era bowling. Kohli is fantastic player but he never faced 90% bowlers of Sachin era. Its easier to make centuries now compared to back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its easier to make centuries now compared to back then. This age old argument is just stupid and flawed. All you remember is Akram, Mcgrath, Warne but forget the many average bowlers he also faced. The current day bowlers have better fitness levels, access to more tech and analytics in the sport to create better strategies against players. Same with fielding too. Modern day fielders have improved their fitness and it's harder to sneak singles and twos now than in Sachin's era. Just because more centuries are scored these days doesn't make it easier. It just indicates the player's adaptability in chasing 300+ scores more often. And there's no guarentee of winning even after scoring a 100.

Naa kohli fans keep bringing this argument but i reject it. its a fact that Sachin was facing much more superior bowling back then compared to what Lohli is facing. Pakistani bowling overall was way better back then compared to now. Kohli never faced Akram, Akhtar or Younis, Lee, Warne, Allan, Mcgratth, Walsh, Ambrose when they were in their prime. List of amazing bowlers during Sachin and Gavaskar era is huge. West Indies, South Africa, Australia Pakistan and all had way more dangerous bowlers than today. Today pitches are more batsmen friendly, so its also easier to hit big scores. That said, no one saying Kohli not skilled cricketer but comparing him with God of Cricket is downright stupid and shows people dont know what they talking about.

If you carefully observe the changes in the rules in both eras, you will notice lot of rules has been changed in the favour of batsman just to make this sport more exciting and entertaining to watch, the focus is entertainment by introducing rules that allows high scoring matches. Forget everything, just look into the fielding restrictions before and now, you will easily get the idea. For example- 5 fielders outside the circle (after 15 over) for the entire match V/S 5 fielders only in the last 10 overs. The end of reverse swing by introducing two new balls per innings (from each end). It not just end reverse swing in cricket but also gives an advantage to batsman, as they getting a harder ball to hit, helping them scoring runs. These are just two rules I mentioned that has huge impact on the game, the list is long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerY2J Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Pitches are definitely more batting friendly these days. Quality of bowlers is arguable, maybe the pitches were more bowling friendly before that's why the quality of bowlers felt better too.

Today with DRS, the chances of umpires missing LBWs is near zero. Sachin’s era most definitely benefited from the lack of DRS, with umpire’s missing many LBWs dismissals. Bucknor is again a unique case, he alone cant be generalised for the entire career of Sachin. Edited February 24 by Vamos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
