How can you waste 90 balls on such a surface?

Khwaja played at SR of 91. Still Australia won.

He has this clueless agenda somehow India's second best batsman should be tossed out and pant should replace him as opener. He has about 100 threads on this trying to justify this crappy idea.

Dude for real fu*k off with your agenda. What has that knock got to do with loss? Others played poor compared to him and in end we had collpase from middle order as well.

This OP has ulterior motives. Blaming Sharma shows his true colors.

Tuktuk played in 4 games so far. Failed in 3 and wasted 90 balls on an absolutely flat track .... but these heroworshippers will blame anyone from a youngster Pant, KL (who is not even consistently being played). Kohli (captaincy)  to bowling, which they try to hype up 

 

 

So he scored 90 of 2 balls

 

In my time I have associated Ro with some miracles but even I couldn’t come up with that

Dew or no dew 358 should be defended. There are others factors responsible for this loss.

Such batting = digging a hole for your own team

How can Einstein waste 26 years of his life to come up with the Special theory of relativity, despite of being such a genius?

The human race is now a quarter of a century behind in terms of scientific progress.

 

How could Kishore Kumar waste 4 mins out of 8 mins of Inteha Ho gayi intezaar ki in the prelude and on pre-set beats before singing?

 

[UrmiSinhaRay]

yea right lol Long innings is what Turner played in the end overs. NOt 30 run cameo. Already mad at him for his dreadful keeping. He is an even worse fielder. Your whining will run its course as Pant may not eve be picked in the squad.

Pant as much as talented he is is pretty much overrated now.
it would be better if BCCI keeps him under the cover instead of all the over promotions and social engineering that they are doing.

It will come back to bite all the people involved in the ass eventually.

When you play 90 balls without much initiatives, you are mainly focused on hitting the bad balls. While guys at the end like Pant and Shankar have to hit good balls too. Now if these get the luxury of playing 90 balls where they can take their time, leave good balls, attack bad balls and also try to create something, it will only help Ind .... As I said, team first 

[Tendulkar1996]

We lost because of dew,mostly.

We reached 358 .. What more do you want?  It is hard to defend total here when your main bowlers go for runs against a noob. It is that sort of ground. Remember Valthaty innings while chasing? He was a nobody when he attacked international bowlers.

it was a 375 pitch . we lost cos of

 

- lack of all batsmen firing. rahul and sharma are culprits

- 30 ball 50 more valuable than 90 ball 90

- india was a bowler short ..

 

on positive side we made 358 due to pant 

give him a break . he will get better at keeping. he wont become better by not keeping 

[Frustrated]

Looks like Rahul and Rayudu have signed an agreement of performing similarly.    Coz rahul played exactly like Rayudu with pathetic strike rate (80%) despite having a  solid platform with 9 wickets in hand on one of the flattest wickets on earth.

That means you don't know the composition of our side. 4 tailenders who can't bat.  Any top order collapse means our middle order is not capable of repairing it at a reasonable rate. When Rohit got out India was 193 At the same Australia was 180/2 even with the help of dew.  How can you say that partnership was slower. They won the match with 2.1 overs to spare. That is called shellacking. Not edging to a win.

[Bigg Brother]

I am not against Sharma,but Finch was bowling really some filth-He should have put it away easily..Still,He is not responsible for yesterday's loss.

collapses occur in swing seam etc . on flat pitches u need to take calculated risks to score at least 8 an over . Problem with Rohit is he thinks 5-6 an over in first 15 overs is good .

 

Each of our batters attacking - its called positive cricket is what is needed in flat pitches 

 

i agree on thr tailender part . but remember they are also the best . Bumrah Shami and Yadav are three tailenders we can afford

 

we do need pandya brothers as our two other bowlers supported by shankar and jadhav . add pant as wkt keeper - u have 5 dual ability players 

 

add kohli dhawan and rahul and u have a winning combo of wicket taking bowlers , aggressive openers , atacking middle order who can play swing ;( kohli shankar and pant ) 

 

our problem is we have tuk tuk who plays 2000 cricket - 90 ball 90 then berserk in 4 of 200 games . thats where issue is . u have forgotten how teams used to try score off first 15 overs . now with two new balls , u need to score 150 in first 20 .

 

tuk tuk aims for 120 in 120 . we fall short by 20 runs anytime we are batting first . we actually do better in chases as scoreboard tells sharma to score faster - even then he plays slow and then dhoni plays slower to take the agony to last ball 

 

 

i saw this idiotic play and when today india made 350 odd i just looked at strike rates of openers and no 4 

 

tuk tuk and rahul played slow especially tuktuk .they dont know that whats a safe target to set .

its not about the tailenders .india never has had a good tail . but india was always blessed with openers like veeru and tenli snd gambhir .even ganguly used to not waste deliveries but played briskly enuf . none were slow starters . tuk tuk doesnt give momentum . kills it rather . got nothing to do about tail . u got to worry abt tail when no 5 and no 6 come in . think peak yuvi batting with peak kaif / dhoni 

 

[Lannister]

How many dot balls did tuk-tuk Sharma played? This guy was given a special treatment as an opener after he was a complete failure in the middle order and he's still not learned to keep the strike rate around 100 after all these years. A bigger phony playing for Indian cricket even more so than Dhoni.
