Trichromatic Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 Just now, cric_fan said: So? It’s just bad luck. Not just bad luck, but captain is poor in terms of everything including luck. raki05 1 Link to comment

Laaloo Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Well that's not good. Need to start winning tosses especially in lottery pitches like these BlueBee and Rasgulla 2 Link to comment
Switchblade Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 So much for his fake aggression and bravado he’s certainly better than Dhoni in test matches that i give it to him but it’s all on him.He got the coch he wanted the team he wanted but is going downhill in SENA.I hope though he turns it around. sscomp32, raki05 and beetle 2 1 Link to comment
Gollum Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Cape Town SA won the toss and opted to bat. Quote VK: Looking at the amount of the grass on the wicket and the surface being not that hard, looking at our bowlers' strength, I think we would have bowled first giving ourselves a good crack with the new ball . Edgbaston Eng won the toss and opted to bat Quote Virat Kohli - We were thinking about bowling first. The conditions are overcast, we want to make the most of it. Don't remember what happened in Australia but this year in SA and Eng he got what he wanted 3 out of 5 times. raki05, velu, beetle and 3 others 2 1 3 Link to comment
rtmohanlal Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 yes ...we all are blaming poor team selection,incompetency of batsmen ,picking proven failures again and again,lack of practice matches etc etc....but it is fact that toss have played a big part in previous SAF and current ENG series as of now. velu and raki05 2 Link to comment

At times it's to put doubt in the opposition's head whether they've made the right decision beetle and sscomp32 2 Link to comment
