Popular Post Cricketics Posted February 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2017 All right folks. It's time to back our guys. It's been tough day with some bad batting collapse basically. We played some silly shots, some can blame the pitch even. Aussies bowled well too but overall let's just call it a bad day in the office. We do not have such days often so let's cut some slack and back the boys. Let's back the Blues. We are no.1 test side and seriosuly if there is any 1 test side which can come back in this game, then it is that of India. I am backing them to comeback in the game. Let's get behind the team. We got this Come on India Vilander, chewy, SLICKR392 and 8 others 11 Link to comment

Sidhoni Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 One bad session can alone cost you a test match and we'v had a full day of disaster. This match is as good as gone, target for us will be close to 400 which would've been tough even on a relatively flat deck. Link to comment

I saw him say "come on yaar" when there was a misfield. Nothing wrong. Yes it was in frustration but it can also remind fielders that they are losing it and need to gather themselves back. Sometimes you have to say. I saw him smiling too at Pujara when he asked Pujara if it was out before review and Pujara said "pata nahi shayad" and he was making fun of that. So he is also enjoying but rightly keeping his boys pumped up and in check. You can't always do the same thing as Dhoni by not reacting to misfields. Sometimes you got to let them know. Not always but sometimes. All in all, a bad day for all. unmatchedimpedance and Brainfade 2 Link to comment
philcric Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Yeah, a really bad day at the office. And a field day for 'some' idiots on this forum. I support our team but I think the game has definitely gotten away. 300 lead and still 6 wickets left for Aus. Also a reality check for people like @maniac who think matches are won/lost only because of the pitch. And that India is somehow unbeatable on a spinning pitch, and the opposition is there just to show up and lose. sscomp32, Mosher, Cricketics and 1 other 4 Link to comment

chewy Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I hope this type of pitches remain Still believe Aus got away lucky with this one, some poor shot selection and bad luck in India's 1st innings there is nothing in Aus batting lineup except Smith that says they have improved vs spin Link to comment

I am not one of those anti-Dhoni folks you looking at, just pointing you out why Kohli did that and rightly did. Regarding, reviews yes,taking them was a bad choice. I will say bad reviews here more than first innings as in first innings he was made to take by Saha but here it looked bad because not many were interested. But that is not even part of bad day. Taking reviews or not doesn't make our day bad as we did not lose anything with it. Our bad day was mainly because of our batting and then fielding. Link to comment

And yes I am agreeing with you on that ,its human to show your reactions to fielders.You dont need to reiterate. He needs to take reviews with great caution,he is using it the same way his coach used it when he was the captain in 2008.Reviews do not mean you are getting a chance to get a wicket if denied by the umpire.Needs to be more thought out rather than gut or for the sake of it.I think this series is going to be a dog fight.he needs to be sensible while making decisions. Virat will be tested again once he comes out to bat tomorrow,.Wanted to enjoy his batting today on a holiday but he threw it away .Hope he comes out trump tomorrow. Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Agreed. Bad day.. I don't expect us to fold so cheaply in the next 3 tests.. Link to comment
express bowling Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) My only issue is the way we take reviews based on impulse or gut feeling and not based on logic. This happens even on days when we are on top and not just on bad days. We must change this. Otherwise, one bad day or one bad match is NOT a big deal at all and every team is bound have one or even two. Even if we lose this match.... no big deal. Learning to react under pressure as a team is very important too as things won't always go our way. From that perspective, this is an opportunity for our team to learn. From the next test match, we just need to play the way we have been doing in the last 18 months in test matches. No need to panic and change teams drastically etc. Edited February 24, 2017 by express bowling Mosher, sandeep, sscomp32 and 2 others 5 Link to comment
kubrickian Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Yeah but it will affect the team psychologically, make no mistake about that. First test of a series, getting bowled out for 100 and a newbie taking a 6 for, dropping easy chances and then end up probably losing by a big margin on a turning track. Its just not losing a test but the manner of losing which will make a difference. Pressure will be on the batsmen as most of them havent been consistent. I feel Lyon will be a big threat in this series because of his experience and also he is a good bowler. Their batsmen will also get better as they get used to conditions as well. Our next test is in Bangalore as well where visiting teams like England, Aus, SA have done better. Advantage Australia from here IMO. Link to comment
MCcricket Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Our slip fielding and close catchers have been very poor lately, secondly m worried about Rahane playing spin in sub continent he is the opposite of Raina in terms of spin versus pace weakness hope he figures out a way to be as successful in India. Also worried about love for Jayant Yadav just because he can bat but he is a ordinary spinner n I would love to see K Yadav come in also he can bat, Australians showed they r young but not walkovers, showed balanced approach u like the Poms, India need to play with spirit as in cricket you never know also if track gets slower spin will be slow spin n too much turn takes out Lbw to lower percentage, a bouncer from Virat, Rahul who knows , also hopefully Kuldeep gets a game next n Pandya can come in for Ishant.
