Sharjah-Harjah Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 11 minutes ago, BlueBlood said: The biggest issue was Rohit Sharma and Dravid. Not a single plan was made against Head. If he is the man in firm and your boogeyman you plan to get him out no matter what. Even if that meant selecting Ashwin or bringing in Siraj earlier as he's very good upfront against left handers. Instead Rohit hoped for a miracle from Shami who bowled the same to Warner and Head. It's easy to do arm chair analysis but it was mind-blowing to me that after WTC domination by Head they had no plan for him. He knew all he had to do was survive first 15 overs. Either Head is world class or team tactics were wrong. Travis Head is world class AND tactics were also wrong. Link to comment

By the time they realised he had a short ball problem they were already on their way to a formidable first innings score. Link to comment

Yes,he's someone who isnt compact and has not any untraceable weakness as such We had a total nervous breakdown since he started hitting,his job was made easy by our nervous Captain,coach and players They didn't have an ounce of self belief that too doing so well with the ball before this The surrender was shocking,240 was below par but should have made life hell for fragile MO of Australia This was expected from this attack which had variety atleast on paper and field(two games before Edited November 24, 2023 by Suhaan rollingstoned 1 Link to comment
