One thing i overlooked was DK's running. That dive. wow..  It would have been a certain run out but for that dive. ANd also you don't run 3 runs after ball hitting the stumps unless you are very quick. That was also sensational. In a way DK played his part in that very ultra short stay.

I wanted 2 on the free hit. Didn't want DK on strike at all.

 

As expected he bottled it. Ashwin showed much better nerves

But in such situation you take whatever you get. Because god forbid if Kohli gets out next ball  new comer will have 1 ball to score all the remaining runs. When you face a spinner who bowls seam up you should be able to score of him. But those 2 extra runs were vital with his running.

Fidgety DK choked big time, bottomline. He is in the team for this role as finisher, can't get the job done with 2 off 2 required? Get lost then. This isn't a berozgar yojana for 40 year olds, he hasn't shown any improvement after 15 years in international circuit, against the top teams absolute zero. Not like we are deprived of talent in the keeping department, Pant and Samson are there.

Wanted DK to succeed but there has to be a limit to the number of mental midgets a team can carry. He similarly came to 2013 CT in rich vein of form, got two sizzling 100s in warmups but then froze when the competition started. There was this easy chase against Pak in the group game, game was almost won and then he came in and missed 7-8 deliveries on the trot, just wilted because of the occasion.

True...I was watching with my parents and I was on the verge of going full MC BC the moment he got out..The mode of dismissal against the rubbish ball at this juncture by "finisher" was infuriating..It was pathetic..As a finisher, you were never going to get easier task than this..

I wasn't even confident of him getting 2 in 2.

 

Sure has all the talent and range, but handling pressure is not his forte. And in WC you can't hide.

Pretty sure even if he had survived that stumping (or run out), he wasn't getting 2 off 1. That's how much faith I have in his mental midgetry. Thank God Ashwin faced that last ball.

He did hit 6 and 4 recently in the last over. He is more a pace dominator in death. It was quiet an advantage for Pakistan DK facing a spinner.

damn vvvs almost convinced me with his post  great point.

 

he did run a quick 2 before that free hit 3 though. I remember Harsha on commentary saying “is he really 37 year old” or some cliche like that.

 

Having said that, his job is only to play in such situations other wise why would Axar batting above him lol. Forget all the dumb matchups and other crap for a second and let’s use logic. He almost screwed up in the one job he had but anyways worked out for him so he should be thanking his lucky stars that he earned one more shot.

He botched it up. We shouldn't really be under-estimating any extra run in that over. Instead of 1 run in 1 ball you will be seeing 3 runs in 1 ball. He bottled it. Someone like Ashwin would have been run out.

I watched the last 2 overs in its entirety again. In all the euphoria i didn't notice a lot of things. Vast majority of the balls bowled by Nawaz were utterly trash balls. two Rank full tosses.  3 or 4 wides down the leg side. Anyone who made premeditated move struggled. pandya and DK.   If that pie over had been bowled to MSD match would have been over in 3 balls. Terrible balls. I can't believe we dragged it to last ball.

 MSD would have murdered the Paks and then stomped on their begging bowls. Some of the bowling was school level but DK's body language was even worse giving off choker vibes.

IN the last over you should not display any physical movement. You should let the bowler choke himself. That was what happening. He was targeting everything outside the leg stump. Even Pandya could have pulled an Ashwin move. It was heading towards wide.

MSD's latter years were not pretty but at the death he excelled as used to wait for the bowler to make his moves/trigger movements first and then pounce.

the issue with DK and thats his strength as well as weakness sometimes is his premeditation and fidgety behaviour at crease. If you go back to nidahas he premeditated some of the hits and that was an unbelievable innings as well.. issue is you cannot Premeditate a lot against spinners specially left arm as they hold the ball to the last minute and then releases it. And DK played his cards early when he went to middle stump which made Nawaz follow him.. also Dk is a designated 15 to 20 overs player. Unless there is big cock ups ( like the last t20 against saf where is absolutely annihilated every bowler) he would bat in those overs and spin is a rarilty between 15 to 20 for obvious reasons. As a wk he played well he saved a certain boundary against shahin when arshdeep nutmegged him.. so cut the slack.. he has been picked for a reason .. he is also lucky.. he played the t 20 w cup 2007 and won it then we was dropped etc and then came back 2013 and we won CT.. he also won an asia cup final MOM against Lanka .. so lets see..

I don't disagree he is a much safer bet against Pacy stuff. For instance Haris Rauf vs DK  would have been more in favor of DK.  Especially those hard length balls he has so many shots at his disposal.
