Ultimate_Game Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Arrey bhai kyon lad rahe ho aapas mein? It's natural some folks will back a certain player while others will have a different opinion. After all I don't think anyone and everyone can agree on the same set of players in the XI or in the squad of 16 As long as we all agree there should be no Rahane and Rayudu in shorter format, we should be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While sending Mathews ahead of Morris was a big mistake, but not having Cummins for death overs is the biggest mistake which converted a 170-175 score into 190.

DDfan2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 You bring in Shami to bowl 3 overs, you bring in Jayant to bowl 2 overs. What's the point of such replacements if you dont utilize them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayudu or Rahane made it to the LOI squad because they were stellar in domestics as well as IPL...he has done well in his limited opportunities and obviously a fringe player because he rightfully down the pecking order....so don't see what your point is.

No they haven't done as well as others. They average in 30s in List A with a SR in 70s!!! That's poor and you had a guy averaging 50 with a 100+ SR trying to get a chance.

Just checked the scorecard... Zak Bowled full quota and Mathooz bowled 1 over short. Between them 7 overs they conceded 78 runs for 0 wickets... Jayant only got 2 overs... IMO Zak is being a liability here... can have both Zak & Mathooz playing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did improve as we won 16 non stop chases in 05-06 season. How does he miss this simple Morris thing? Weird Bigger miss than missing the simple Morris thing was to bowl out Cummins within 13 overs and leave himself and Mathews to bowl death overs with bat. That's a blunder.. Mathews could still be expected to hit some runs.. But noway you can expect Zaheer stopping flow of runs at death. He couldn't stop runs in final overs during his prime, as in WC 2011 final. How can he do now? Edited April 19, 2017 by DDfan2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowling cummins was not totally a bad move ... cummins is a wicket taker and had he got Williamson and Dhawan then it would have been a totally different ballgame....

But he should finish his quota within 12 overs as he did with Cummins today. Instead let Cummins bowl most of his overs at death. May be, Cummins bowling 13th, 15th, 17th, 19th overs won't be a bad idea. Edited April 19, 2017 by DDfan2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that was the plan because it is easy to over think after watching Delhi strategy But watching the last match against KKR itself, I felt Cummins should be bowling more at death. No overs for Zaheer himself after 14th. He went for runs in his last over in the last game too, despite giving just 13 in first 3. And same happened today too. Cummins is not the kind of bowler who bowls wicket taking deliveries, but he looks to check free flow of runs in the final overs.
