Trichromatic Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Ball turning from day 1 and pacers, 4 of them are leaking runs. Can we sneak in Jadeja here? Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 It's painful to watch pacers here. Everyone bowling defensive line on leg stump only to leak easy runs. Poor strategy. Link to comment
Rasgulla Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 He is pretty defensive captain... Someone told us he is Mr.aggressive Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Ashwin bowling defesive lines and length, Keeping it flat and on stumps like ODIs. Jimmy Cliff 1 Link to comment
Tattieboy Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 If ball spinning in second session on day one that is a serious misjudgement by captain and management OR Jadeja is there for a holiday Link to comment
adi B Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Ashwin has been disappointing,he's hardly giving any flight ,whenever he does the saf batsmen are uncomfortable Link to comment

Gollum Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 SA pitches will never aid spin like ours, it is turning slightly but I don't think this is a 2 spinners deck. Link to comment

Kohli's problem is that he plays the match in his head 3 days before they start . He has visions of certain people doing things irrespective of form, conditions , country . Add to that about 8 players he doesn't trust which they know , it doesn't add upto a great team atmosphere WC2011INDIA 1 Link to comment
Gollum Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 It isn't turning much and we don't bowl last (unless innings defeat ) so I won't fault Kohli here. This pitch is a graveyard for spinners in SA, visiting spinners average 60+ here. Last 4 test matches here, spinners have picked 0-1 wickets per innings here. Kohli deserves brickbats for not picking Bhuvi, not this. Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Looks like the pitch where Ashwin will pick up 10-fer in an inning. Other bowlers are not even close to getting wicket. Link to comment

Gollum Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Judge a pitch only after both teams have batted once. I don't think Maharaj will do much on this deck. Link to comment
rtmohanlal Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Have been saying this for a while now. Play both of them in the team.They are both chalk and cheese in variety but yet more or less equally effective.And they together provide the efficiency of a 60 avg: batsman.Any way proven failures like Ishant are not the answers, then why not take chances??????
