head coach Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Folks, A defeat is hard to digest but common guys how many times have we gone through these kinds of hiccups while India is playing. This is more than a hiccup considering the hype of World Cup and the importance some of us give to this event. One of the positives of India is they have always come hard on crucial encounters and tried to win it. But then our final record is a flop but they have tried to beat the team in critical games. So we have something to look forward in the coming matches. Losing to Bangladesh is like a big brother beaten by younger one for sure but Bangladesh is a team which is trying to go all out and prove they are worth to have a look. India on the other hand is an overrated team by its fans. Why did India lose? 1. Batting flopped because middle order still looks at top order to give a good start 2. Failure of Tendulkar and Dravid translates into team failure What do you think? Link to comment

Anakin Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Re: Why did we lose? (time to analyse) Total failure by Veeru, SRT, Dhoni, RD and Uthappa Misjudgment of the pitch. No matter how you spin it, it was aggressive decision or should still be able to bat with this batting lineup or whatever, it was a wrong one in the end. The track became significantly flatter in the afternoon. Link to comment
head coach Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Re: Why did we lose? (time to analyse) Well dont you think toss is just a luck. How can you put the blame on Rahul Dravid on choosing batting considering Indian strong hold is batting and we are flop on fielding? Link to comment
Anakin Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Re: Why did we lose? (time to analyse) Toss itself is luck, but he won it didn't he? As I said, they partly misread the pitch, partly were too confident that it wouldn't matter much, and exact same reasoning was applied in few occasions before as well, in the end, all of them have been wrong choices Link to comment
head coach Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Re: Why did we lose? (time to analyse) One of the other things is Indian fans and Indian press only reads and writes about how much India is a developed team and how they do all the training and stuffs. We kind of forget that other teams are also doing the same kind of training and getting ahead in their game. I was surprise at how much skill Bangladesh players hold with proper training they could come out real strong. Well one lesson learned, Money alone cannot bring success. You need skill too. There is no bowler with that kind of skill who can give India a lead when it comes to giving the opponents a shocker! Link to comment
veer Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Re: Why did we lose? (time to analyse) picking veeru in 11, sending veeru to open.. yeh galti dravid aur pure bharat varsh ko bhaari padegi.. ohhh and the lack of intent.. Link to comment

Inside_edge Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Why did we lose? (time to analyse) pretty easy if you ask Azah.. we batted, bowled and fielded poorly.Bangla played better cricket than us ,so deserved the win! Link to comment
Birbal3 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Why did we lose? (time to analyse) India lost because of NO BALLS... i.e. the Indian team except for a couple or three odd players showed NONE... Link to comment

King Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Why did we lose? (time to analyse) I would say 3 things : "Batting, Bowling and Fielding" There is no easy way to fix these. Link to comment

We dont have a bowler who can be termed a killer! A bowling coach is much needed. Sehwag as an opener is not working they should let the guy bat in the middle but now he has closed that option too.

Bumper Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Why did we lose? (time to analyse) I wouldnt blame our bowlers. We lost because of Dravid's retarded decision to bat first (remember Mumbai test vs Eng ?). His batters could have bailed him out. But as usual they bailed the opponents out. Link to comment

Bumper Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Why did we lose? (time to analyse) ^ He certainly underestimated the Bangla bowlers & went by our batters reputation. He thought a decent total would surely put pressure on Bangla (who are still considered minnowish) while chasing. The guy Tamim Iqbal was a surprise package for me, never expected him to come out & play like the way he did Link to comment

chanakya Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Why did we lose? (time to analyse) why sehwag? why why why him? There is something about supporting ur players but Link to comment
Dirty_South Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Why did we lose? (time to analyse) I'm sure Sehwag has given lots of money to RD and Vengy... :eew: Link to comment
