nevada Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 The king of chases fell flat while chasing a mere 200 change. He continues to be a sitting duck on pitches with movement. Goes awol when the heat is on even in home series. Pads his stats against hapless bowling on lifeless wickets. Puts yaari over team interests. Can he disprove doubters with sensible selection and a defining innings or two in the remaining 2 games? velu 1
kosingh Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 What rope specifically? The one about him being a great all conditions test batsman?
bowl_out Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 How long is the rope for Team India? always seem to fluff chances that they get... How long is the rope for Cricket? every team seems to be a bunch of sitting ducks away from home... Some people need to be given this long rope so we'll see less flooding with such threads nevada 1

Even though Kohli sucked in this game and is to blame partially for the defeat along with other bats, the 200 run chase can’t be termed as “mere 200 chase.” This game wasn’t being played on a flat track. It was hard to chase and was taking place in South Africa. Again not defending players or Kohli but 200 in South Africa is never an easy chase. Toughest place to chase.

Was hoping he get the job done and deliver a famous win but it was not meant to be.

One about him scoring in any difficult condition for once. There is something common about conditions in WI 2011, SA tour of Ind 2015, India tour of Eng 2014, and Aus tour of India 2017 - all series had conditions where scoring 100-200 was getting difficult for the team and then there is one more thing common in all series.

Pollack Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Icfers give excuses for Kohli's failures in swing/seam conditions. But it still doesn't hide the truth, kohli is indeed a sitting duck against movement. He needs to work harder. Gollum, nevada, Rightarmfast and 1 other 4

bihutoli Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I think I'm starting to turn into a believer of this line of thinking.

And the fact that players who stood up and saved the team in the 2014 (rahane), 2015 (rahane) and 2017 series (kl rahul, rahane, pujara) are either benched or have their spots under pressure.

SLICKR392 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 This is Indian Cricket. He's a cricketer cum star in this country. The rope is endless just like the superstars before him had, albeit the number of failures they have. He's hardworking, let us hope he improves his brain-dead amateur approach against swing bowling.

mishra Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Some Icfers are blaming Shashri for Kohlis failure in tests. Kumble didnt suck up. He is out. Why should Shashtri standup to Kohli? Some icfers blame MSD for Kohlis failures in International limited over tourneys. Anyone who have watched live will say if it isnt MSD, Kohli has no idea where to put a fielder, forget bowling changes. Some icfers blame format for Kohlis failure in IPL. Guy has ego issues there too with various players. Thre best t20 batsman in world and team finishes last As long as there are those icfers, We will continue to suffer from mood swing of Klueless Kohli Edited January 9, 2018 by mishra Gollum and Jimmy Cliff 2

Sounds just about right. mishra 1
