SK_IH Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Quote Teams follow routines like rituals if they have contributed to success in the past. India had won nine consecutive ODI series before they arrived in England. One significant element of their success was the impact created by at least one of their openers; if one of Rohit Sharma or Shikhar Dhawan produced a big innings, India invariably won. In this series too, in Nottingham, Rohit cracked a century and India easily chased down a middling target. But, in the next two matches, if you compared the scores of both teams after 10 overs, India were trailing England. Today India had a horrendously slow start and reached 32 for 1 in that period; England had made 78 for 2 in the same time. This slow tempo in the first Powerplay does not hurt if the top order kicks on and prospers. However, if the top order fails, as was the case in the last two matches, the pressure mounts on the middle order, which in turn cracked at both Lord's and today in Leeds. The top order needs to be vigilant but it also needs to press the accelerator whenever there is an open road visible. At times it is not such a bad idea to power on; Jonny Bairstow did it today against Bhuvneshwar Kumar, pushing India into a corner. Excerpt from one of the pieces in cricinfo, this archaic approach from Hitman needs criticism from the team mgmnt and needs drastic improvement http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/24123341/india-happy-headaches-turn-real-ones UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

But these guys certainly cant. Rohit lost his wicket in last game to lateral movement too -- even slight ammounts is un negotiable for him. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

R!TTER Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Wait did someone forget KL & his epic series against Aus last year? The guy is class, has rock solid defense & all the strokes to make bowlers cry btw he's not bffs with Kohli or Dhoni, my bad Edited July 18, 2018 by R!TTER UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Pandya comes when there is nothing left. i have debated on this argument with you before, i reiterate thats no reasoning for playing the way Rohit does, i can guarantee thats what Rohit will do even if we had Viv Richards, ABD and Bevan to follow,because thats the only way he knows to play You justify his modus operandi with the middle order muddle ,which is certainly not the case UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Our top order knows that the 4,5 and 6 are duds and have to score runs while trying to not lose their wickets. Even if they had the same kind of ability , they would not able to score with the same freedom as English openers do since they have the like of Morgan and Buttler to come in .

Why was Kohli playing so slow chasing 323, had 2 boundaries about 56 balls? They know how fragile the middle order is. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

sriniwu Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 indian batsmen play to the dictum that one of the top 3 should get a 100.. in contrast, england are happy to have 5-6 guys contributing 30's / 40's to support one player who gets a 70 odd.. Link to comment
