151 was not a bad score

Like I said. Kohli is inept and will never make the right decisions. We are stuck with him. We need to get rid of this wretched poison from captaincy. That's priority. 

Then pick fast bowlers not phasst bowlers. 

Pick the right batsmen. Rahul I don't care how good he plays in tests, he is not a great new ball player. He should always be 3 or 4 down. 

 

Go with explosive players at the front. Pant is a retard but has potential. Go with Pant and kishan or Pant and venky iyer. 

Play rohit at 3. Dunderhead will play at 4. 

Rahul at 5. 

No trash out of form players like paandu *. 

Number 6 can be sky the finisher. 

7) jaddu Singh 

8) thakur anoop Singh

9) umran killer malik

10) bumrah terminator

11) siraj khan

.don't see anyone beating that team. Take kohli out and it becomes even stronger. Only need one of either kohli or rohit.

I think we had discussed this exact issue earlier too.

 

The same pacers who bowl attacking lines and lengths for their IPL teams start bowling defensive lines and lengths under Kohli.

 

Kohli is a very very defensive person despite his false bravado and it keeps biting us on the back as he is the captain.

Yes the failure of bowling lineup is bcoz of Kohli's captaincy just like how their success in tests is also based on it. 

Completely agree with you here

Raina was useless vs bounce. Let's not overrated that guy please. 

He was useless against bounce after 2014 but before he found a way to survive, mentally strong and fearless, he had a massive weakness but still found a way to succed in limited overs cricket. His innings against Pakistan in the 2015 world cup was full of intent.

he's an attacking captain in Tests but defensive in LOIs. Completely possible.

I just can't rate players who can't play bounce well.

It was not a bad score, infact we had decent momentum going into the second innings, blunder number 1 was sending in jadeja ahead of pandya, 30 of 20 balls would have been a decent innings in that scenario from pandya, spin was on and pandya could have cashed in, blunder number 2 opening up with bhuvi, the momentum which we gathered was lost in 3 balls thanks to bhuvi's harmless deliveries, bumrah, shami, bumrah and chakra should have bowled the first 6 overs, bhuvi and jaddu 2 each from 6-10, aim was to get atleast 3 wickets in the first 10 overs, we still had them under control after 12 overs even without picking up a wicket but the first over was so bad Pakistani openers new they at one stage get a buffet of bad deliveries, Rizwan is a leg side non power player, why on earth did we feed him with leg side dollies? I said it earlier no analysis was done by the team management, follow the process and get hammered was the mojo.

Revisit the match .

some glaring issues i noticed in PP phase and gave up on kohli. For example,

 

over1: Rizwan hits 10 runs of first thre balls. Both hits came on leg side and Kohli changed the field. I felt why didn’t he start in this manner in first place but i gave benefit of doubt.

 

Over 2-I thought should have gone to Bhumrah but then thought, may be Bhumrah /kohli prefer other end. So was in doubt.

Over 3-Bhumrah bowls and pulls down RR. 

Over 4- Chakravarti bowls a very good over lbw apeal too. You can sense that Pakistani bats are getting edgy as Pakistani RR was coming down. 
over 5- expected Bhumrah to bowl to put further pressure but got shami bowling. Why? And  this over also saw start of cheeky singles. I felt our field placing is now getting shitty. The benefit of doubt i gave Kohli after over 1 started fading away. 
 

over 6- Bhuvi was back again. I had given up. 

 

If Kohli leads and plans( albeit no plan and no prior study of opponents) like that, we won’t be able to defend even 170+ against decent/semi decent teams. We need to at-least a score of over 189+ to negate poor captaincy. 
 

PS: 151 is second highest first inning score so far after Afgans scored 190+ against Scots

 

 

 

 

Our bowling is below par in LOIs that is true but chasing a 170+ target is different from chasing 150+,that demands change of plans from beginning,i never said our bowling is upto the mark we are carrying 2 pacers who are past their prime and a spinner who is very new(spinner didn't bowl bad though)

And Jadeja (who is just a journeyman atleast in t20s)

His selection are blunder across formats most of the times but in tests he gets space(in time)

More opportunities to attack,lois he struggles to find balance between attacking and defending

ill add more

 

  • in test u can make mistake and come back which is why smaller teams also struggle coz bigger teams will cme back in any session but the shorter the format the lesser 2nd chance u get. Kohli also makes mistakes in test but test is a long format who allows u get back
  • LOI is a quick format so a lot of times u need to rely on instinct- kohli doubts his instincts. He tries to be a text book captain which doesnt work in LOI
  • he tried emulating dhoni - u cant , he was an instinctive captain. 
  • He doesn't know how to build  a side, in LOI u constantly need to get in some fresh players to improve. In test experienced and set players are better

 

Like Dhoni as captain never understood test, virat doesnt get LOI as captain

Well definitely it wasnt a bad score, but it wasn't enough. Blame goes to mainly bowlers for defeat for their halwa bowling where 5 feet Rizwan was pulling them with uber confidence,not that he is bad Batsman but c'mon , those leg side lollypops by 9 yr old veteran Bhuvi compared to fireballs bowled by Shaheen Afridi and That jewelin thrower(forgot the name),That's where match was lost. Bhuvi can * off and go to SRH . Give us Lord Shardul please next time. Again come to the batting,even the inept Jay Shah in stands who doesn't know C of cricket could have sensed that the Delieveries of Shaheen will swing in during the early phase of game but our 4 time IPL champions and future captain didn't know that,KLR to hai hi Jhaandu,comes with ultra loser attitude..

Surely. The pacers were not succeeding like this in tests before his tenure. And Ishant, Umesh and Shami had been around in tests from much before.

 

The results are also there for all to see. Won a test series in Australia in 2018-19 and leads 2-1 in England in 2021. Wins every test series at home which was not the case before.

 

While he has not been able to win any big tournament as a white ball captain, be it international cricket or the IPL.

 

It was the exact opposite with Dhoni.

 

Having different captains for different formats is very very important.
