Nikhil_cric Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Our batting needs surgery. From the best top 7 in 2011, we have been reduced to this. We are traditionally a batting side and if we are no longer good at that then we won't win a damn thing. Apart from Kohli and Pandya, we need to phase out everyone else in the top7 starting with the geriatric Dhoni. This is what happens when you fail to plan for a World cup in advance. It should have started 3 years ago to be honest. UrmiSinhaRay, adi B and raki05 1 2 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Pathetic to watch someone like Dhoni doing this "walking and defending" consistently. asterix 1 Link to comment
GautiMaan Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Dhoni is one of the ODI greats but the aura around him has vanished Link to comment

Get real our middle order is horrible,raina ,msd are past it ,pandya is hot and cold. Even if we needed 140 of last 20 with 4 wkts in hand (which is chaseable by normal loi standards) ,I am sure you and I would still have massive doubts on dhoni to win it from such a situation Perform like last match when rrr was around 5? That's what our top order has been doing piling up runs when there is no pressure and even that at a very slow rate. Link to comment

Bhai where were u in last match and countless other matches in last few years which India won while chasing. India has won max no of matches chasing more than 300 and who won you those? Middle order?

nitinbwj Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Unless it’s IPL, Raina ain’t hitting any spinners.Kohli struggled too. Link to comment
Number Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 If top 3 dont fire this team will not even chase 280. Middle order is hopeless. Mosher 1 Link to comment
Laaloo Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Thalaiva This is the same guy who went 100 balls without scoring a boundary just a couple of days back in the age of short boundaries, and two balls and piss poor teams. What are you expecting from this guy? speedheat, saik, asterix and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment

asterix Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Pathetic to watch someone like Dhoni doing this "walking and defending" consistently.There should be a concept of “Non-Playing Captain” like Tennis...Kohli can take help from non playing Dhoni and India can be spared of the Tuk-Tuk... raki05 1 Link to comment
SandeepMotta Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Match following a usual pattern, Dhoni keeps blocking, batsmen at the other end try to hit out and get out, Dhoni remains not out and score a few boundaries when we know the match is already lost. His fans hail his innings. nitinbwj, Number and Laaloo 1 2 Link to comment

RAZPOR Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 batting has been very casual and unreliable today,can't always depend on top order to make the runs. Mosher 1 Link to comment
