harsh1387 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Yes, he should have but I am glad he didn't.. Our team is doing great, no point in creating a rift between Ponting and Ashwin over mankading. Though it was fun watching Ponting laugh slyly when Ashwin gave the warning.What a performance last night. If we keep playing like this then it's gonna be very hard to beat us. Only other team with such balance is MI. I feel for Kohli. When your teammates don't wanna perform what can a Captain do. Their issue has always been bowling. They should get Morris in for finch next game. And open with Parthiv who did a great job last year. Or Kohli can open himself.

He'll come in place of Ali or udana once fit.  TBH Bowling has been decent. Fielding is what letting us down. Yesterday also stoinis was dropped. If that was taken, the target wuld have come down by 20 runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at how he sets up some creative fields for some of the batsman of opposition and kinds of bowling changes he makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 I think mankeded should be officially allowed and end this spirit of game bullshit rule. The game is already loaded in batsmen favor, atleast give something to bowlers.  Ya for some reason our bowlers look so mediocre, saini also had a bad day yesterday. Ya I agree finch needs to be dropped and get morris instead of him. Parthiv should open. That makes this team a good balanced team, now if your players do not perform as per potential, nothing can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Captain and coach have to be in sync. Look at DC. How Ponting and Iyer have transformed the team in merely 2 years where Kohli and his inflated aggresion+ego doesn't works well with anyone except for Bewda who is a Yes man at best.

Guess he needs to understand that not many care, till be gets them all along, it's good to see a lot of focus shift to Dev this year, similarly we need a couple more, and that will help the team.  Two loses and both bad one I hope we win toss against CSK on Saturday, or else with match being in sharjah we might be looking at first team conceding 300 in a T20 match :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So RR looked like table toppers in both the games at Sharjah now this is the reality of this team when playing on bigger grounds. Don't see them winning lot of games now. Will win only those games in which Buttler scores.  Delhi, Mumbai look like favourites to me at this point still too early to predict though.. But Delhi was favourite for me even before the ipl started I think my post is there before the ipl started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZooZoo Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Clinical win for MI. Looks like most balanced side which is not dependent on one or two players. Every match one or other person takes up the challenge and scores for the team. they may not have the top wicket taker or top scorer in IPL but they will have 3-4 guys chipping in every other game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sach4life Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Delhi and Mumbai have the most balanced teams. Having said that, Mishra's absence is a big blow for Delhi. He is bowling really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
