diga 2,542 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 people have been crying about no backup batsmen in Kohli's regime... no one of promise was encouraged or allowed to grow. If one thinks that a problem of 3 years can be fixed in 3 matches, then good luck to them SandeepMotta and rollingstoned 1 1 Link to post

Austin 3:!6 9,982 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Rahul is a very talented batsman and should only focus on batting. He is not captaincy material at all. TheWall 1 Link to post

Mesky99 481 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 18 hours ago, vvvslaxman said: Name one Karnataka player who is uber aggressive (except Vinay koomar lol with his terrorizing run up). Not a complaint. They are talented, great team players. Very gritty, skillful players, match winners. You can say whatever you want. But generally they are quiet, unassuming, very soft. Prasad barring that one occasion is also a bit on the softer side. If you want real feisty in your face attitude it comes from Delhi guys. Manoj, Gambhir, Kohli. So how about making Ishant the captain :) Kumble was very aggressive and most of the younger players feared him, I hate generalisations but cricket in Karnataka is more of a urban Bangalore-mysore region game, most of the players come from middle class families hence tend be passive, soft spoken but that's not the case with the rest of Karnataka, the bunts of Mumbai have been part of the underworld syndicate.

TheWall 1,320 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Agreed. KL is not a captain material. But what about the BCCI officials, selectors??? Brainless dumb potbelly creatures.... coffee_rules, Vijy, Adamant and 1 other 4 Link to post
Adamant 1,717 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Why are these things still getting leaked? What's the motive behind this? Third class politics. Yes he isn't a good captain but you don't go about saying this to media personnels. BacktoCricaddict and coffee_rules 2 Link to post
Khota 5,941 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 7 hours ago, Frustrated said: KL scored a combined total of 77 runs in 3 matches. Avg 25. SR is below par too. His poor batting and overall tuk tuk approach during PP on flat pattas against a SA D team did not contribute to our defeat? Only the bowlers are responsible? In the 3rd odi, bowlers did a decent job to restrict SA to 287, BTW. Is 287 restricted. That is a par score. Link to post

Dravid, excellent batsman and text book technique does not necessarily mean he can get a combo of 11 winning players unless we are just playing to give every player a chance so that we can finalize a team in runup to nxt world cup. I mentioned in other thread on Dravid, coaching a juniors team which is learning is not same as coaching seniors team. Link to post
