Captain VK thinks we scored enough today

This loss is inexplicable, we win 99pc of these

 

 

England flat tracks nullify the likes of Jadeja.  This basic factor has not entered into the brains of our captain.

Poor start, Poor batting in the death, poor fielding up front cost us the match. Sri Lanka should have lost 3 wickets in the first 10 overs but our superstar dropped sitters. Overall a very average game for India.

Indian players are clueless. They even thought score against WI in t20WC was above par. They were targeting 180 :cantstop:

 

 

Same thing in World T20 Final 2014. Sometimes they tend to become conservative in batting approach and settle for what they think is a good score rather than try to get as much as possible.

Agree.But even their win came from nowhere.It isn't like the signs were there.

 

 

Maybe this is their Yuvraj/Kaif natwest moment.

10 overs 1/54 is pretty good on a patta I suppose. If the legendary "phaaast" bowler Umesh had comparable figures we may actually have had a chance. But I'm sure you think Bhuvi's the problem :giggle: 

Yadav went for 67 runs with 2 balls left.  Subtract 14 runs from it, and that's a reasonable amount of runs to defend for the last over, even for the likes of Pandya.   Jadeja and Yadav were the worst of our bowlers today.   Bhuvi/Bumrah kept us alive till the end.

Are you kidding me? He was the best bowler in the game.  Inspite of a big over in the end, he went for 5.4 RPO.  Provided 2 crucial break-throughs.   You are so full of crap if you see him as a problem in today's game.

You count run out as bhuvi's wicket? Heh! Umesh too got one! :aha: Did not say he was the only problem. Bhuvi is now been touted to be a good death bowler and hence warranted a spot even on batting friendly conditions with no swing.At the end of the day Bhuvi went for runs in death overs. He was just as bad as others.

Tharanga didn't play today because he was banned, one guy got retired hurt , 2 wickets were gifted to us through runnout and they still chased it easily

If Umesh had bowled even a couple of overs without a boundary SL batsmen would've been forced to take on Bumrah & Bhuvi but Umesh leaking boundaries never allowed that to happen. Leaked runs and couldn't bowl even one decent over in the 2nd spell.

We could have scored 350 had jadhav came in to bat ahead of a certain best finisher in the world.

Sure.   Pandit Maharaj and Ajmeri Baba told you that?   What about Rohit and Shikhar scoring a combined 203(207).  That's almost 70% of the balls allowed.  That's the biggest problem in our batting.  Not Dhoni with his not-great, but acceptable 63(52).

I can understand if we lost 2-3 wickets in first 10 overs 310-15 would have been good but 100 run partnership upfront and still we end up with 320 that's below par batting.

Dunno how that's possible when gunaratne hit next over of Bumrah for 11 and Bhuvi for 10

Sharma's phateechar innings wouldve lost us the last match too but he was saved by some great lower order hitting and phateechar pak batting
