vvvslaxman Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 This is 2020 salary. I expect this to be the same this season. I say Punter for promoting Stoinis lol
ShoonyaSifar Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 No one but Andrew McDonald. Assembled a weak squad without a proper Indian core and it showed in their performance.
sensible-indian Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Punter is why DC has done this well. Poor batting lineup overall. Still cant believe Pant's decision against CSK. IPL losing move if there was one. Edited October 15, 2021 by sensible-indian
SK_IH Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 Andrew McDonald , I mean why would you even pick someone like him as a coach Vk1, Lord and Vijy 3

Best RR have is Samson and no one else. Look at the most successful teams right now, MI- Rohit, Bumrah, Pandyas, SKY, Kishan CSK- Jadeja, Thakur, Chahar, Dhoni (GOAT Indian captain) DC- Pant, Iyer, Axar, Ashwin, Dhawan, Shaw Even a badly managed team like Punjab have Rahul, Shami and Mayank. RR have foolishly put all their eggs in the English basket (Stokes, Archer, Butler). Good players but overrated in Asia and not even committed to IPL. velu 1

P.S. .the same Rabada was being thrashed for 21 and 15 per over at death by nobodies in previous matches. So pretty sure it was something decided beforehand by management Edited October 16, 2021 by New guy

Do you think people even understand what Ponting is saying. I've never been able to understand his accent... New guy 1

You seem to get hyper upset whenever Pant is criticized. Pant made a major error. Doesn't mean he can't improve. Quote So pretty sure it was something decided beforehand by management Nope. “I haven’t had the chance to ask the captain that yet. Obviously, those calls are made on the field, and Tom, I think he bowled his first three overs for 16, he bowled really really well, done a good job. So that's down to the gut feeling of the captain out in the middle at the time, and Rishabh obviously thought that Tom was the right man to bowl the last over on the back of how well he already bowled in the game.” https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/ricky-ponting-slammed-on-twitter-for-blaming-rishabh-pant-for-last-over-against-csk-4310897.html https://www.republicworld.com/sports-news/cricket-news/dc-vs-csk-will-have-a-chat-ponting-on-pant-bowling-curran-ahead-of-rabada-in-last-over.html Edited October 16, 2021 by sensible-indian
sensible-indian Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Even leaving aside that Rabada decision, I felt Pant's captaincy in the final few games were pretty ordinary. Against KKR, I wouldn't blame him. He did well to drag it out as much as possible. But against CSK and RCB, the captaincy left a lot to be desired. Edited October 16, 2021 by sensible-indian

But Rabada was the most experienced. 2. He could hit the hard lengths which Dhoni and CSK normally struggle with. I would have bowled Rabada and Tom myself. Avesh was too risky. But with 13 runs to defend (I think), Rabada anyday over Tom. Case in point: Malinga's 2019 performance. Got thrashed. But was trusted to bowl the all important last over and he won it for Mumbai. There is no guarantee for success but the odds are just higher.

You need to get a LOT of decisions right to win games. But you only need to get one crucial decision wrong to lose a tournament.
Kerberos Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 I stand with Pant for his decision to bowl Tom Curran. Rabada was going for runs in death and hasn't found form much this season. In hindsight it appears wrong decision but it was right decision. Having said that Pant looks ordinary captain.

Tom curran was bamboozling everyone with slower ones until that point. Even in the final over he got rid of Moeen Ali. There is no telling Moeen won't whack Rabada out of the stadium. We just assume Dhoni will face Rabada.
