Stopped supporting Delhi when they bought Mathews. Zero commitment and just there to collect his cheque. The way he was running first run was shameful. Missed 3-4 doubles due to him. Iyer almost lost it at him at one point of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey is 10 times better than Mathews. Also,Nair has always been crap in T20s and 50,Shreyas is our future. Also Pant is a legend in making. Matthews or Morris could have been sent in today at one down instead o; Nair. Even though Corey was wrog dropped, since Matthews olayed today, he did bat with a strike rate of 170+ play in first 20 balls until last over. Had he come for Nair and had Morris come for Matthews, Delhi would have won today. Honestly, Nair-Samson pship of 2nd wicket slowed it down. Our runrate dropped there.

Meant to say I doubt Zaheer involves himself with such decision making and probably leaves it to Dravid. What I'm seeing is eerily similar to watching Rajasthan Royals from 2014 speedheat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read above before you comment. Matthews was battinf with a striker rate of 170 until last over where he faced yorkers. Had Matthews and Morris come ahead, DD would have won. Bair slowed it down in the middle with that Samson p'ship. You said I thought Nair was the best player. Maybe you should think before you comment. Until the 19th over, Matthews was 25(19). how is that a s/r of over 170? Lord and DDfan2017 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point with him in the team? may as well go with an extra bowler. And Morris not getting to face a ball after his 9 ball 38 is criminal Nair has gotten enough chances. I am afrid if he manages to score a 50 batting first Delhi will be stuck with him. Its like Pakistan stuck with Shazhad and Akmal. We need to seriously consider sending our all rounders up the order at the fall of first wicket or Pant. Ultimate_Game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did improve as we won 16 non stop chases in 05-06 season. How does he miss this simple Morris thing? Weird We were lucky with chasing at the time as we had Dhoni at his best and an in form Yuvraj at the time. Those two pulled us out of the fire so many times. India won so many of those games despite Dravid's "tactics" and not because of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether Nair scores a 50 or not, how can you see him part of this Delhi team? TBH I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asterix Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I mentioned in the match thread long time back, DRAWid is and will be the main reason DD has underachieved year after years... get rid of him, you've a fantastic team... Only he's capable of screwing up even after having such a good team... WTF is Zak doing in the team as captain? He should be there only as a mentor...

Lord Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 13 minutes ago, Cricketics said: Should have sent Morris for Nair. Imagine Morris and Nair that time? When Nair was sent, we could have been 110-1 in 12 overs instead of 80ish which Nair was making it happen. Later things would have been easier. Matthews scored well in the end if you vheck his score, but they could have utilised Morris up todya in a big chase. Or they could have sent Matthews up early and sent Morris at Matthews place. Either way, both should have batted ahead of Nair but I thought you said there was nothing wrong with batting order Laaloo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were gloating about how we have reserves like Rabada and hilfenhaus and Shami and spinners like Mishra and Nadeem, but we did not manage to use our bowlers well. We are still a bowling side than batting as that is our strength, but dropping Nadeem was crap. Changing bowling combination which has been working isn't good.
