sarcastic Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Virat Kohli's press conference. https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-videos/32963/a-series-is-not-always-defined-by-the-scorecard-virat-kohli I would think that Kohli should not go in the lines of "Process is more important than results". OWN up your loss and move on. Do not repeat the mistakes and get the right results in the future. Rasgulla, velu and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 1 Link to comment
Khota Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It is all about wins and losses and if he does not understand that get a captain who wants to win. Moron. UrmiSinhaRay, Straight Drive and Switchblade 1 2 Link to comment

Tibarn Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 He's not totally wrong. This series has been fantastic, barring the 2nd test which was an abomination. How close the 1st and 4th tests were and how agonizing the defeats were were great advertisements for Test cricket. Even though the series line is 3-1, it is nothing like the last two tours of 4-0 or 3-1. That doesn't mean there isn't room to improve, but we are close, IMO. That said, Kohli needs to work on finding new openers and needs to work on his on field captaincy. If bowlers are proving ineffective, he needs to be more proactive and change them. Also being a supposed good captain for fast bowlers, he sure didn't trust them when he needed to. Instead we got Ashwin's nonsense, over after over. express bowling, UrmiSinhaRay, Mark and 4 others 4 3 Link to comment
The Realist Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Yada yada yada... Its a results business and have lost the series, as happened in South Africa and is likely to happen in Australia. This is not exactly a young team as most of them have been on previous tours so positive results should be expected. What makes it really depressing is that this was a pretty weak Eng that were there for the taking. Unlikely that such an opportunity will present itself on the next Eng tour.

Straight Drive Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Satiya gaya hai. Series is not decided by scorecard. So it's decided by who has the whitest clothes, who has tied shoe laces well, who has the best branded bat. Typical of government culture. Attendance lagao salary lo. Whether the top line or bottom line was met is useless for them. Similarly who cares for the results. It's the trait of losers. When one cannot meet the goals, the goal posts are changed.

vayuu1 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Abey bc series is defined by results,tum kitna bhi bol lo the end scoreline is 3-1 after 4 matches, aur maje ki baat ye thi ki tumne experience ko tarjih di youth ke upar aur ek 20 saal ka gora hi tumhari maar ke chala gya.

Straight Drive Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Such a negative mindset captain. When the captain is happy with loss how will he motivate others to win series. Setting low expectations even in the early part of his captaincy career. In this phase of his captaincy career he should be showing more intent and stressing the importance of winning the series.

Nikola Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 During 2014 we had weaker team than this side also captain wasn't aggressive (according to some people) and still we were in series while playing 5th test here our captain kohli (100 times more aggressive) with like twice better side with very good bowling attack has failed against a pretty avg england side which has so many flaws. Arrogant captain deserves this series loss for what he did with anil kumble. UrmiSinhaRay, ThePhenomenal1, raki05 and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
Clarke Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I haven't seen the press conference so I'm not sure what he means exactly. One interpretation that I will agree with is that the 3-1 scoreline does not indicate the competitive nature of at least 2 tests. And yes, I certainly hope he does not mean "as long as process ..". I will also pick Virat over Dhoni hundred times out of hundred when it comes to test captaincy. Despite his faults, he looks to have the fire in his belly, his performances & involvement in the game speak it out loud. Dhoni was the complete opposite. Its not like I support expressive or emotional captaincy, as a long time Dravid fan I don't think its necessary. But Dhoni just seemed too casual in every way to my eye & Virat is an improvement, hopefully still in the works. velu, Suhaan, Number and 4 others 2 5 Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) This negative mindset is not even seen when Ranji captains talk to media nowadays. Even they feel bad that they could not win even Ranji trophy. And this dude is contended with series loss at international level.

Such words are an insult to the fans who support the team. The same Kohli bullied journalists reminding them of the matches won by the team back when the team was raking up win after win in the SC.

Nikola Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 With all workload he has in all formats he should better quit as captain else we will see downfall of his peak. Ricky Ponting had similar peak from 2000-01 to 2006-07 and went down quite drastically. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Series are decided by: 1. Which coach finished the maximum number of whiskey bottles. 2. Which team had more players dressed neatly in whites 3. Which team practiced for more hours in nets during tour. 4. Which team had more number of net sessions during the tour. 5. Which team spent less amount on team expenses. velu, UrmiSinhaRay, nevada and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment

Our problem was 5, 6, 7. No opener is going to change the games in these conditions. Our openers scored more than England. some 50 plus partnerships as well. We need to work on batting of our 5, 6, 7, 8. In these conditions, it is these numbers that make a difference. raki05, UrmiSinhaRay, philcric and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
