Playing XI for Twenty20 against Australia and postmortem of the game.

[Cricketics]

yaar 20 overs ke game mein kya post mortem karoge..

[putrevus]

the difference between indians scoring fast and aussies scoring fast is they score fast run mostly along the ground and run singles well, Indians take aerial route and with that are risks of getting out.today everything they tired failed but it should be wake up call

[kabira]

Lets give batter BOD...Gambhir and Utthappa were soft dismissals....wicket was bit too paced..this was their first hit...Rohit Sharma played horrendous shot, I think Dhoni should have stayed there till 20th over.

[yoda]

Dhoni is blaming every bat but himself. So what if you are in the middle order? Why the fack can't you play better than 9 off 25 deliveries or whatever and rescue the team, you bozo?

[Mandrake]

Dhoni better keep his trap shut and concentrate on making some runs....as of now the guy can't seem to buy a run against good bowling.

[bunny]

I don't think so' date=' I have seen some great fielding performance from these youngsters. how can one forget karthick's catch of smith... oh u beauty! my be this just wasn't their game...:(([/quote'] KKD's a decent fielder. Sometimes shows off a bit. I mean most of the youngsters know how to dive and all. But they lack a throwing arm, anticipation and ability to stop the singles and force some run outs. I guess Robin Singh should actually be happy. He has got something to work on.

MSD for a long time has been failing in situations where you need to keep taking the singles but also not lose wickets. He can only do that of spinners right now.

[Anakin]

MSD is a FTB, just a good one. Glad that I didn't waste the night to watch this performance.

[Shehezaada]

KKD got a 154 kph full toss straight on the off stump. Not sure why guys think his dismissal was foolish. Here is the list of the ones I saw: Sehwag - run out hitting straight to the fielder at close, although off a pretty good direct hit Gambhir - Straight catch to the fielder at mid-off KKD - see above Uthappa - Same as Gambhir Rohit - Bowled off a slow delivery, misjudged the pace, trying to wack it to the leg side Dhoni - attempted six straight to the fielder before the boundary Of these I have to give the award to Rohit or Uthappa.

well you stand where you are and hit that through the covers for 4.

[Sachinism]

karthik over sachin pathetic dhoni says sachin didnt wanna play, i doubt thats true

[Anakin]

KKD should not be in ODI or T20 team in the first place.

[Guest Hiten.]

Dhoni is in the team because he is the captain. This guy can't do jack outside subcontinent. I'd be happy if he can maintain a average of 25-30 in upcoming ODI's. Aussie's have worked him out pretty much completely. 9(27) in T20 is nothing but being a sign of dumbass for 'hoping' to put bad deliveries away.

[Online]

Mark my words Dhoni will be back big time Dhoni rocks :two_thumbs_up:

[ludhianvi]

Just like the first test at the MCG, India got exposed with the size of the ground. They were trying to clear the ground but could not get their boundaries since its a big ground and hence India were outdone. When India cant score boundaries, it is kinda clueless. This is not the first time at this ground for India. They should've planned better. As for Dhoni, it seems he knows only two modes of batting. Either total defensive or outright offensive. Nothing in between for him. I must say India were totally outclassed in this match by the Aussies. Hopefully, we can do better in the ODIs.

[diegovegaz]

what the hell is kaarthick doing in playing 11 everytime he has been sent one-down, he has failed miserably new ball isn't made 4 him either he should come as 6th batsman(after dhoni i.e.) or be left out, should only b brot to feild in place some1 the new generation - 3 R's raina, rohit, robin raina should have been there he is in form, scoring hundreds in almost all domestic games, and kaarthick even failing 2 get into double figures raina is the man 4 india, perhaps better than rohit and robin now onwards he should b included in each odi game

[Dravid]

its 20-20, young ppl were playing, they they got him at that spot in reg.50 over, he would be around 5-6...so relax @kkd failing in domestic??when was the last time he played and failed?forgot the 100?? raian had his chance, and kkd is currently getting his, he will be a goodplayer, so susssh ittt

[diegovegaz]

he can't miss full tosses!!! he didn't even get any part of his bat 2 d ball

[Dravid]

well you stand where you are and hit that through the covers for 4.

sounds ez enuff huh:finger: if u all wanna nit pick and create these threads, y not one on gambhir missing by a mile,a foot away from the stumps, in sree's1st over? sharma moving around the ground liek munaf..sehwag looking at the ball, instead of running?

[yoda]

he can't miss full tosses!!! he didn't even get any part of his bat 2 d ball

154 kph.

Karthik is just not very good at limited overs cricket. He can work on his keeping and become a permanent fixture in the Indian Test squad as reserve keeper/reserve opener, but he should certainly not play ODIs or T20s.
