Man of the Match Mendis would have been out in the 9th over. Don't blame him for not having a 2nd slip. But do blame him for his bowling changes and decisions where someone like Umesh wasn't bowled at all in the middle overs. If the plan was for Umesh to topple over SL batsmen at the death then Kohli knows something about Umesh which we clearly haven't seen over the last 6-7 years Vilander 1 Link to comment

jusarrived Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 3 minutes ago, Ultimate_Game said: I'm beginning to say what you mean. I would rather take an explosive start at the top a la Sehwag than consolidation. Coz it's easier for middle over to keep up the ante when the RR is already high. I guess we need someone like Pant at the top of the order who gives us quick starts. We can't hope for Rohit to get himself in and then take on bowlers coz if he fails or gets out after playing too many balls, we are doomed. A quickfire start at the top (say 30 odd off 20 deliveries) will allow us the luxury to always be ahead of the game. I know I keep repeating this every where lol , but opening has become ridiculously easy in the last 10 years . Power plays and with all your wickets in hand you need batsmen who can start hitting from word go . you need batsmen who can make use of these power plays not waste it like we have been doing . Sehwag averaged in mid 30s , but that SR of 104 was far more important stat imo . Check most of our memorable wins and the impact of his quick fires made in those wins. 2003 WC match against Pak , he made 22 runs and I cant think of a more valuable 22 runs an opener has played in WC history . we definitely need someone like Pant .

WC2011INDIA Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 People should stop blaming Umesh for yesterday's debacle. Kohli SHOULD know that Umesh is best in the middle overs. He was just going through the motions yesterday. Probably had a fight with Anushka and was too busy thinking about that. express bowling 1 Link to comment
StriKe Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Kohli : We don't attack batsmen with out bowlers, we wait for them to make mistake and contain runs. Clueless captain...WTF Happened to his brain suddenly ? You play for RCB/IPL which is one of the explosive team Link to comment

Vilander Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 guys come just because we handed the customary 'butt-rp ICC game trashing' to pak team does not make the pure pathetic-ness of our batting order go away. its diff when India plays them paks ( neeyat hi aisa hai), lol more fun if we win against SA somehow who would come out with lots of gumption after getting their rears handed to them by pak lol. sandeep and Unstable Joe 2 Link to comment

He has learnt this from IPL and his own inability during Aus series, that there are limitations. he is just maturing, the next step is cautious planning to clear adverse situations he needs a good coach beside him now, Ravi shastri is the man. Thats why he spoke of him, i guess Tom Moody can do it too. Link to comment

Vilander Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 4 hours ago, Ultimate_Game said: The more I see and hear Kohli while captaining India in shorter formats, the more I feel India is going backwards. Fielding standards are going down, India is not playing cutting edge cricket the way it used to and this "head buried in the sand" attitude with backing of the likes of Rahane seems to point in that direction. India should be looking at England as the template and we've seen in IPL that we do have the players who fit that mould. Now it's up to Kohli and the selectors to move forwards instead of playing an outdated game. we need a coach who can veto and bring in young guns from domestics, else 2019 WC will be epic phainta.

CG Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Kohli's mentality and batting approach is rubbing on others too. Field restrictions means you don't have to explode in middle ,you can easily milk the bowling with odd boundary with only 4 fielders out.I think you have to promote guys like Kedar and Pandya over yuvi and Dhoni.

Not necessarily Pandya.. but i think Dhoni and Kohli combo is/was the best when it comes to milking ones and twos.. converting ones into twos etc.. but 1st game: Dhoni didnt bat 2nd game: Kohli got out before Dhoni came in Dhawan/Yuvi are really bad at rotating strikes.. i think Sharma can get in that groove.. I havent seen Jadhav much so can't comment on him. StriKe 1 Link to comment

I wonder who the * told him that. Does not seem like a Ravi Sashtri or Kumble concept for sure. Both those are break a leg, or jaw but get the job done characters. who ? express bowling and Lord 2 Link to comment
