dial_100 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Guys this was the team failure not an individual blunder that caused us the game. Calm $$$ing down everyone. It is just a 1 game. This is a perfect wake up call at the right on time and we will have lot more interesting game against SA. Rasgulla, zen, beetle and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Now if we go forward in the tournament, it will be because we earned it. Not by beating 2 weaker teams. Better this than getting into semifinal, losing against a quality team, and no pressure for change on the team. Laaloo, dial_100, Adi_91 and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Also real earning would be we defending a target or it will get too easy for kohli to chase and real problems will be hidden again. Link to comment

Openers in every team play at similar strike rate be it QDK/Amla, Srilankan top order, Finch, Hales. India were 166/2 in 29 overs and that's not poor, slow batting by any means.. thereafter, they reached 200 in 38 overs, i.e., 34 in next 9 overs... That's where we lost the match. Rohit's 78 off 79 before 30 overs was much better than Dhawans 124 off 128 in 45 overs. sarcastic 1 Link to comment

True. We were happily chasing in the WT20 last year and struggling while defending totals. It's been a longtime problem with the Indian team. Even Kohli is a different batsman batting first. Wonder why. Link to comment
StriKe Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The Indian innings not really accelerated in the last 10 overs... Only 103 runs in the last ten overs... Every team will happily take 10RPO in last ten overs happily..Just give credit to SL batsmens for batting brilliantly. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk DDfan2017 1 Link to comment
StriKe Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Malinga is not potent any more... Still picked two wickets compared to our bowlers Link to comment
StriKe Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 You call 52 balls 63 runs great with a set batsman at the other end and playing in death overs. What do you call a 53(32)* with a somewhat struggling batsman at the other end? ATG knock? Let's see if that batsmen got out for 10 runs, SL would have won around 40-42nd over..Stop blaming Dhoni for this loss. Last ten overs have 5 fielder's outside. **** bowling and captain wants to bowl 3 overs. Playing 30+ dot balls in Opening PP Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk sscomp32 1 Link to comment

That's pretty good most teams would take that score .10 an over in last 10 overs. Where we slacked in batting was 30-40 overs when we just scored 30-40 runs. Still the bowling was beyond awful .

PBN Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 we changed grounds and pitches and different conditions as well. you can argue that the batting didn't post enough of a competitive score and the batsmen weren't able to adjust and judge what was a good score. Still chasing 320+ isn't an easy task. SL basically cruised to the target and the Indian bowling just got ONE proper wicket, the others were runouts. The bowling lacked any penetration whatsoever . SL easily kept on taking singles and boundaries and no real sustained pressure. Infact SL played 20 less dot balls than India probably. Link to comment

Yuvraj's 7(18) which killed the momentum and India ended up with a lower score than what it should've managed. 4. Poor fielding from likes of Yuvraj and Jadhav who gave away freebies in the field when we needed to apply as much pressure as we could on the SL batsmen.

Umesh bowled poorly but Jaddu and Pandya bowled worse than Umesh. But Umesh is the no.1 reason lol. Take your hate glasses off. The fact is it was a collective failure of our bowlers. None of them took wickets except Bhuvi. That's where we lost the game. express bowling 1 Link to comment
Pollack Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Some posters are funny. Since we lost the game Kohli's captaincy was bad. No Dhoni the real guiding captain today. Had we won a close game it was dhoni's inputs not kohli. Laaloo, express bowling, Mosher and 1 other 4 Link to comment
