Rasgulla Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Its easy to say things like this now... We did win 2011 by chasing Nonsense should have huh..
asterix Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 90% ICF wanted India to chase, regardless of flat pitch or not. Yes but most of them didn't wanted an unchanged side to play...
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Mistake. With our batting, we should have batted first.

I think chasing 340 in finals is almost impossible.I agree Pak is worst chasing side currently and we gave them a gift.But still if we had bowled well we would have won.Pak was lucky today.
Pakistan Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 You overrated your limited bowling resources. Adi_91 1

Haarkarjeetgaye Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Not sure why we cannot see winning the toss and chasing was a big mistake.
bleaf27 Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 On such a flat track , why would you not bat first ? Pakistan is known to chase horribly , they are known to fail under pressure - why not make them chase ? Is Kohli so stubborn that he had made up his mind to chase regardless of the pitch and batting conditions ?
Shunya Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Batting second was not a bad decision afterall. We have to accept that our execution was not good enough. So many extras, missed runout chances, brainfade captaincy moments, etc let pakistanis to score 340 which was too much in the end. Their batting fluked their way to 340 and their bowling was top notch. Amir clearly outbowled everyone against gun of the top order of Indian side.
Pakistan Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Kohli got punished for not trusting Great Imran Khan advice of bat first and win the match. Edited June 18, 2017 by Pakistan Adi_91 1
ThePhenomenal1 Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Kohli is tactically very bad. At least in ODIs. He's no dhoni (and i say this as a vk fan) Gollum, Sidhoni, Haarkarjeetgaye and 1 other 4
Adi_91 Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Just now, Pakistan said: Kohli got punished for not trusting Great Imran Khan advice of bat first and win the match. Who is he? Is he godfather to Kohli?
SK_IH Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 it was a gppd toss to lose,even sarfaraz wanted to bowl first Haarkarjeetgaye and Gollum 2
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 When Kohli wins 2 or 3 finals by opting to chase, then we can say it was a good decision. Given an option with a good batting line up and flat track, any captain should bat first
goose Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 5 hours ago, Cricketics said: 90% ICF wanted India to chase, regardless of flat pitch or not. Well 90% were wrong. Kohli believed the media hype re being prolific chasers and forgot the lessons of 2003. I thought it was a poor decision. CG, SK_IH, Sidhoni and 1 other 4
CG Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Chalo we can't change this match ,Let's hope Kohli learns from this mistake and learns the good old cricket rule that you win toss think twice thrice but still bat first . Gollum and Lannister 2

Yes, it's consider almost golden rule in cricket that you always bat first in final. No matter how good a team is, pressure of final gets to even greats. Just like how follow on trend ended in 2000s, I think this match will end almost any doubt that teams have about batting first in a final for next 10 years. CG and Gollum 2
bleaf27 Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Pakistan is a horrible chasing team - Final or no Final - They fold when chasing. Even if India had made 200 batting first , Pak would have been under pressure . Pakistan with a good score batting first is a very very hard team to beat Gollum 1

You dont win matches with stats and historial records. Every tread can and will be broken.
