Actually if they play like this they might get to 160 odd if they can stick around. None has the technique or  to bash around when the ball is moving!

There is no need to smack. Just place the ball between he fielders  or straight down the wicket. Few could not get bat on the ball to get bowled (Sharma and Dhoni) and when the others actually ended getting the bat on ball, they ended up giving dolly catches to fielders due to lack of ability to  place the ball away from fielder when they hit it in air (Gill and Dhawan).

Simply not cut out for this level. Needs a few more years and has a ton of flaws. Good poster boy though.

based on these two inning, Dhawan and Rohit failed as well.

It was a good delivery nevertheless, that was my point. Rohit played that shot the way he did and the way most openers do. Most players get out to such deliveries. That was a peach, as the movement was very late and may be hint of seam also. 

 

Matt Henry does tend to move the ball late and he just did that. 

That's just an assumption if your foot movement is wrong you can't generalized the criteria for others it was a good delivery but still Rohit could have negotiated by planting his foot forward he was left naked standing at his place and Henry just exploited it. Just saw dhoni dismissal he took forever to bring his bat down.

You mean Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor. They have a lot more credentials in tough conditions than our top order. We play with LOI experts. These 2 are world class batters. Keep the jingoism in check :)

I was referring to England frogumen - read the context before you jump to your typical moroniac conclusions.

Now Rayadu ll ensure he ll stick to the crease more than the others and get free ride to the WC.

Probably do a Sunny 36 no in 50 overs with his current strike rate.

Looking at the dismissals, Dhawan and Gill are the only ones who threw away their wicket. Both Dhoni and Rohit got top deliveries which could have taken any batsman’s wicket.

 

 

Dhoni looked like he was late on the ball.  Not sure how quick that delivery was, but Game 3 he was consistently late to the ball against anything quicker than 130.  Missed a few boundary balls when he was given half-volley type wide ones, because they just whizzed by him.

Gill looked really good before he got out :((. Absolutely creamed a few straight to the fielder. Now Rayudu getting leg stump filth :facepalm:.

He is making it legstump with his technique.

If our think tank really puts that much thought into things then fair game but doubt it

OK, why do you think they chose to bat first?  regardless of expected swing, we are a team that prefers to chase - I'm very happy that they chose to bat first in 2 out of 3 tosses that India won in this series.  

 

But of course phuck the facts, carry on with the chest-beating and whining and ranting at the "team think tank".  whatever floats your boat.

Rayudu 4 from 25 and Shankar 14 from 30. No singles by Rayudu :facepalm:10 singles for Shankar from 29 balls excluding the 4. 1 single from 3 balls played is  not good either . But Rayudu is making that look better.
