This was a 330+ pitch.

 

We scored 255 

 

This loss is primarily due to our batsmen ... all of them.

dont think it was a 330 pitch in afternoon, it was a lil two pace specially if u see rohit, dhawan, pant wkts  all were expecting a diff pace on ball

Was only possible if those 2 carried on.....rest of the batting order was out of place specially with jadeja at 7 i highly doubt we ll get tht score.

[Shaukat]

I will ask Pak army to award KOHLI "Nishan-e-Haider for keeping indian cricket in check

Padosion You dare not let him go soon

 

[SK_IH]

The way I see it, this Indian team is totally dependent on the Hitman. I think he is a bigger factor than even Virat in LOIs now.

yup both not converting was a big problem.....new players werent finding it easy to get the timing in afternoon

Both were clearly playing for their place. If one of Kohli and Rohit dont convert, we are screwed.

 

This is why they should rest more against weaker sides. I'd rather lose with top players sitting out than getting our assess handed to us with a full strength side

[Stan AF]

Dhawan and kl rahul both playing selfishly to safeguard their places in the team.

Iyer & Pant both need to learn to play quick pace.

 

Bowlers not taking even a single wicket is a big worry. Especially if the names involved are bumrah, shami and kuldeep. 0 wickets is unforgivable no matter what the circumstances.

one of them needs to be given security ... or else this will keep happening

KL and Dhawan using up all the hot water, while Kohli at 4 is useless. Batting lost it. With Iyer and Pant still finding feet, it was disastrous. Bowling was ordinary, Jadeja selection is suspect, when he fails, we think why select him for so many years. Failed as a team. What happened Bhuvi? Shardul will go Jadeja way. 

[bear23]

rohit and rahul need to open. This fear of losing the place in the team is making both dhawan and rahul play slow. KL Rahul needs to be assued of his position as an opener and should be allowed to play freely. This match also highlights the importance of Rohit and Kohli to click in the games where we have to score over 300.

Summed up the match very nicely.

Ind is one of the most boring ODI sides anyways

[vvvslaxman]

inspite of knowing the nature of Wankhede wicket at night they showed no urgency to score above par. They scored like 100 runs below par.

100%, this is the problem of having the luxury of many! They are playing for the second opener slot and not for the team.

 

Dhawan - Sharma combination works. Rahul will simply have to bide his time till the WC gets over or whenever of them retires.

This is the main reason.

[rtmohanlal]

*no room for Rahul  &   over aged  Dhawan together in the team.I am all for dropping both from the team.We need a left handed aggressor to partner 

Rohit as far as Kohli is the no:3 & especially because next WC is in India.Would like Pant to open

*Kohli must  bat at 3.  Not that he cannot  be successful  at 4 but he is too good a ODI batsman not to  consume the maximum number of balls  of the team inns. Once he settles in he can do  every thing, anchoring,pinch hitting etc etc all by himself. So never dispense with Kohli at 3.

* both Kuldeep & Chahal should be together in the team .They forms a very productive partnership.

* play Jadeja at 6: as batsman & bowl him based on  conditions.Other wise do not play him at all.

Kohli made an oblique reference to that by saying batsmen were too respectful at certain phases lol

[vaul]

Firstly,pitch was NOT damp at all.It was relatively dry with decent pace and bounce(tennis ball bounce).Had there been extra moisture in pitch,there would have been significant turn for spinners.

Pant was beaten by pace and bounce.Dhawan too was late to flick ball at speed of 147.Both Iyer and Jadeja edged ball to keeper as they were beaten by pace.Rohit too was slow to react as he could not keep the ball down.Kohli was trying to accelerate,probably he realised that there are not enough runs on board.Rahul is unpredictable,he can get out at any time like he did today to a simple delivery.

Australians won the last of their ODI series in India,and it might happen again.

Given the sheer nature of the loss, was a collevtive failure

Bowlers were below par.

 

But 255 was never defendable on this pata pitch against a decent batting side.

 

If we had scored 330, we would have seen a different result.

True. Bowlers are not the reason we lost. Batsmen are. 

However, bowlers did contribute towards India's loss by 10 wickets for a 250+ total. That is pathetic whatever way we see it. It is not 150-200 run target that bowlers could be forgiven for not even picking one wicket.

Yeah he is the one who scores big anyway. Chasing is fine for Kohli but he is pretty much very ordinary if we have to bat 1st and set a big score. Also change one position he is just not making any runs.
