Rahul Dravid: We should have got at least got 180-185 in this pitch

[sage]

 

[Vickydev]

So help them to add a few more sixes to their innings? Even 200 wouldn't have been enough with that bowling.

Eng 170-0 in 16 overs 

Dravid: "We should have got 180"

[zubinpepsi]

This fker needs to go first 

[nitinbwj]

Abe Lodu. 200 was bare minimum. You are saying this because Ind effectively scored 168 in the end. Had Hardik failed, we would have scored 145. Then, you would have said 170 was required. STFU and quit

15 me 100, 5 me 68. 15 me 150 hone chahiye they. English bowling is nothing great.

[rollingstoned]

So that we would have lost after 1 overs compared to when we did lose?

Also he did not say Indian players should play in foreign leagues, he said it will affect test cricket and that Indian cricket will go the West Indian way if we allow that which the bcci never will. Not sure why he thinks that when bcci has plenty of money anyway unlike wicb. 

[The Realist]

Just go. You are not cut out to be an international level coach.

We think we are very smart but Indian coaches are not sought after in international cricket,tell you something doesn't it.

 

Maybe we can send some Indian coaches to these teams and bring down their standard.

we can pay other teams a lot of money to take them, so that they don't stay in india?

I think 168 was a fighting total on that pitch but even if India had scored 200, Eng would have chased it down. Simply because the bowling was poor. The bowling attack was mediocre to begin with but under pressure, they completely bottled it. They just couldnt handle the KO match pressure and gave away way too many easy runs under the onslaught of Buttler and Hales. Hopefully, this is the last game for Bhuvneswar, Ashwin and Axar in Indian jersey. Need lot better bowlers who can handle pressure to win KO games in ICC tournaments.

[Frustrated]

His brain has gone rotten.    What he is suggesting is :   Its ok to lose but the loss should be a tad delayed.  LOL.  Is he not aware that Eng got 170/0 in 16 overs?  Which game was he watching today?   Or was he busy watching some of his test knocks from archives?

Coaches cannot win matches .. I am glad he is not backing Rohit Sharma in saying batting was good

dravid will probably claim that our bowling was good instead. the capn and coach may have decided to split the delusions and lies

We needed much better bowling, yes 200 should've been the aim but wanna bet Pak would defend something similar here?

likely that they would have steamrolled eng if they had 170-180 to defend. we will see, however, what happens in the final... I am expecting pak victory

Actually at MCG I'm betting on Eng because that's a wicked wicket especially under the lights! The ball will fly there & it has much more pace than Adelaide right now, not much spin though.

What is Paddy Upton doing? Esp with KL Rahul 

[Clarke]

Some minds are just not cut for T20. Rahane was one, this guy another. They're ok with a bit here & there oblivious to external realities like Eng's (or WI in case of Rahane & 2016) batting. No fearless mind, no fearsome intent, no major objectives. 

 

KL & Shubman have made similar comments on SR being overrated.
