Jadeja was a huge loss. Is he coming back this series?

On low & flat pitches, sweeping is a low risk high reward shot. It does not allow spinners settle. On top of conventional sweep shots, poms are also playing reverse sweeps well. In england's second innings when root was sweeping at will, we responded with full protection on the leg side (fine leg, deep sq leg & deep mid wicket). But then root brings out the reverse sweep. We simply cannot cover both sweep & reverse sweep and have enough fielders near the bat. So how do you plan against sweeps & reverse sweeps? couple of thoughts We need t

I thought our bowling was fine, Nadeem excepted. Our first innings is where we lost, day 3 was still good for batting. At least 2 of top 5 should have made hundreds. coming to the second test, given the short turn around and that we play back to back games in ahmedabad as well, it is imperative that we rotate our fast bowlers. Ishant rested, Siraj in Nadeem out, Axar / Kuldeep in Anyone know when Jadeja / Shami / Umesh are back?

Kohli the tyrant. How much longer? Ended so many peoples career
gloryof83 replied to Reddysaab's topic in Cricket Talk
you need to get on with the mantra here. any success is "despite" of Kohli. Every failure is because of Kohli. He single handedly turns world beaters to pathetic losers -

What sort of performance by India will cost Kohli his captaincy?
gloryof83 replied to sage's topic in Cricket Talk
TBH, I don't think it is a good thing to have one captain for all 3 formats and Kohli is not the best test captain going around. But I don't see him being replaced, at least in tests, till a viable alternative is found, dont think Rahane is a viable long term option. Gill / Shaw / Agarwal could be the options couple of years down the track. -

gloryof83 replied to sage's topic in Cricket Talk
yes, nothing to do with the pitch being flat or the opposition being good. all Kohli's fault. So by your logic, if we win it is because of the team. But if we lose it is because of Kohli -
England 320 all out. Bum rah and ishant to run amok. india 200/2

again, any proof of the abuse or you just making up things again. questioning you does not make me a kohli cheer leader. couple of weeks ago most posters wanted rahane out of the team, now he is the messiah. what if rahane messes up next series? by all means criticise kohli or any other players, but don't abuse or make it personal and degenerate them. i dont believe that any player, past present or future, gives nothing less than 100% when representing India. Criticise their performance, but questioning their commitment, integrity or character is

Do you even know what facts are? your thoughts are just that... not facts. Man we have some bitter fans, always have to put down someone, either current or past players. what the team achieved yesterday was magical and ethereal. yet instead of basking in their success, we have people bitching...

Indian team not keen on travelling to Brisbane for fourth Test
gloryof83 replied to Trichromatic's topic in Cricket Talk
you need time to prepare the pitch and the associated logistics. but why should the match move? we agreed to the conditions before and during the series. this is not a good look for us, need to man up and play where ever / when ever. -
