If our batsmen cant score even on this pitch then we have some (even more) ugly times ahead!!!

they will score a few, question is wheter they can win this or not.

Its a tough chase....seeing how out of form our batsmen are. Having said that though, the bowling unit of england is not as good without swann, anderson and broad!

I completely blame Dhoni for this loss. There was no reason to remove Dinda when his last 2 overs gave only 9 runs in slog overs. Unless Dinda was injured, no sanity in that decision at all.

Everyone chipped in, but no one carried the innings. Run a ball 40s and 50s were good enough for 300 chase, and not 325.

one more :bigyellowgrin:

 

Didn't see the match, but this guy is a big liar, if he really said this :lol:

 

It is a new batch of bowlers, not experienced in international cricket.

Except Dinda and Kumar, every bowler has played 40+ ODIs.

 

And since every batsman, except Kohli fired, expect everyone to catch-up with law of averages next time.

Dhoni: "We have to look how good Shami Ahmed is when it comes to bowling yorkers and wickets like these where there is not much to offer for the fast bowlers," he said. "That's why we went for Dinda (today), because he is experienced and he executes the yorkers well."

 

Abey to usko hata ke BK ko bowling kyon karaya? :doh:

rahane is getting this bad habit of throwing his wicket away suddenly. he'll be playing well & then out of nowhere will pay a bad shot. he seems to be a bit flustered as though he's under alot of pressure to grab this chance he's got after long. someone should speak to him & assure him he's got a few series & to relax & play normally. we know dhoni wont do that ("at this level i dont need to talk to the players..") so it'll have to be the selectors.

 

England batting 1st..

 

Pretty good team selected by MSD..Too bad Pujara has to miss out..

But its good they are not playing him and making him open the batting..

 

dinda is in for Shami Ahmed..Its a flat track , we need someone who can bowl few good yorkers and can control flow of runs..

 

really? what different has he done from last few months except for rahane & bk?

someone criticising dhoni's captaincy :naughty:

exactly. now a gambhir & raina can say they scored 50's at run a ball but how much did that contribution help the team in the end? they either needed to score that at a much quicker pace so the RR reqd came down or carried on till the end. i really think we should look past them. plus i dont seem either of them clicking in Aus WC so better to blood someone now in home conditions

 

 

 

ishant has such bad body language when he gets hit he looks like someone just goosed him :giggle:

 

 

 

good to see sir jadeja still at it :ha: man those bowlers who allowed him to get 300s should immediately retire. i dont care how flat those wickets were. even bk looked a better batsman than him

 

 

& whats with dhoni & his blindness towards the off spinner in his team. first bhajji & now ashwin. bhajji atleast had past records to rest on. what has ashwin ever done. once again a spinner from england outshone him :hi2:

Why did Suresh Raina not bowl a few more overs? He took the wicket of Cook I think and had a very good economy rate. Also, Dinda made a great comeback and I can't understand why he did not bowl one of the last two overs.

 

I think 325 was not an easy total to chase and we should have restricted them to around 280-300. Dhoni, in the post match conference, said that at one stage England could have scored 340+. This is true but after pegging them back to 250-260 after 45 overs, we should not have let them score that many runs towards thee end. Raina's dismissal was a big blow for us as him and Dhoni were in the middle of a very good partnership.

326 was completely gettable..We kept losing wickets at regular intervals..Yuvi or gauti should have gone ahead and made a big score..

But atleast they got runs..

 

The 38 runs in last 2 overs cost us dearly...Dhoni should have used more spin..

We cant depend on jaddu to finish games at no 7...He can just chip in few runs sometimes , but when we need quick runs or when the team is under pressure we cant rely on him...

 

 

really? what different has he done from last few months except for rahane & bk?

 

 

Well , from the 14 in the squad , he picked the best team...
