He was on the backfoot. Correct call. Smith has this weakness. Most recently he got out in county like this. He shuffles across and get caught infront.
wazza Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 I do believe not selecting ash was correct for any other pitch but not for oval which was flat. I don't blame selectors for that however not picking a tall bowler, kishan and jaiswal was a major blunder. Vijy 1
vvvslaxman Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Australia was 78/3 even against us. Let us see how this goes.
vvvslaxman Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 If Australia doesn't show aggression they will play into the hands of England and implode.
vvvslaxman Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 SMith must be gutted that he wasted a review. Couldn't blame him for going for it.
vvvslaxman Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Field set on the off side is great for Head. They have plugged all the gaps for Head.

Don't forget England had to lose 20 odd tests to finally figure out a method to succeed in tests. They are yet to win in India, Australia and West Indies. A series that is. They do have the wood over south africa and somewhat ok against kiwis. They smashed a weak Pakistan side there in their how town.
vvvslaxman Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Strategically we have terrible captains. Kela, Rohit. wazza 1

Chutiya richest board only knows to mint money. This may not be well received but us Indians are not pioneers, we wait for others to create and then after a few years we will adopt that , by that time it’s already obsolete and they have moved on to better things and we are always playing catch up. Money doesn’t buy foresight. Sgattick10 1

wazza Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Under rohit: Win vs aus 2-1 at home Loss to nz in wtc final Loss to England one off test in the fifth one Barely won vs bang 2 0 Win vs Lanka 2 0 Again Loss in wtc final What has rohit achieved? How is he captain? Seniority? Shameless.

But when you compare him with Rohit he was better. Gautam Gambhir is one of the best i have seen. Sadly he didn't get to do a lot of captaincy for India Vijy 1

Sure Ashwin can do that too in both innings. He would have nailed both Smith/Head much much early. Thakur average was 50 in that match.

Loss was due to bowling coach and useless batting coach. No preparation. No accountability Bad selections as well. Ashwin was not the solution. Should have been a tall bowler. We had too much sameness. Also batting was a major flop. Coming right off ipl they had prep. Edited June 17, 2023 by wazza
vvvslaxman Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Head is one of the worst against shortish stuff. As bad as Raina. They are doing it when he is at 8 not when he is at 120 lol
vvvslaxman Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Now two slips. Stokes field change is very frequent. But they do it relatively quickly as if they already had these plans before the match

Sadly he didn't get to do a lot of captaincy for India Thse days coaches have lot input in strategy, that is why it was shocking, Head was not bounced once before he reached 100.What were coaches doing?
