ViruRulez Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Veeru has been playing reckless shots all throughout the NZ series and is continuing the same in the IPL matches too. Gauti was impressive in NZ but has started to play reckless shots in the IPL. So, are they going through a bad phase or is it that the Indian opening pair have lost their touch. I do not notice them improving and learning from the mistakes of the previous games. Veeru has been quite pathetic in this regard and he almost gifted away his wicket in the first or second over of the match. Instead of playing a captain's knock for Delih Daredevils he is putting the whole team in pressure by gifting away his wicket within the first one or two overs. So, what do you think about the DD and Indian team openers? Are they going through a bad phase or are they becoming irresponsible nowadays.

ViruRulez Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 they r waiting to explode in big matches only 4 matches have take placed and only in 3 of them they got out.. compare AB to them .. he has been performing in each match It is not about getting out but the main problem is that they are not learning from their mistakes from previous games .. a good cricketer always learns from his previous mistakes and tries to rectify them .. but Veeru and Gauti has been repeating the same mistakes again and again.. that is the main concern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 It's fine.. they are giving chances to ab and dilshan. Last year, AB was a big flop for us in IPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not my point .. why the hell will you throw away your wicket just to give chance ... that sounds insane .. if Veeru would have wanted to give them a chance then why did they not send those two as the openers .. that is a BS logic I am also a GG-Veeru supporter but it pains to see that they are not learning from their mistakes .. if they start playing like a newbie then it hurts .. they have got experience and should learn from their mistakes and not repeat them.. but why the feck are they repeating them again and again This holds especially for Veeru who has been gifting away his wicket in each match .. and such a reckless shot was not required from him in such a situation being a captain himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punjabi_khota Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Maybe they are just going through the motions, since it is afterall a "tamasha", as people claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboysfan Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 they play T20 very differently than the odis and so **** happens but i hope they keep improving from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sachinism Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Veeru has lost his brain He just plays mindless slogs, with the WC round the corner, its pathetic from him, he should be taking this seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboysfan Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I thought that Gautam will be playing that anchor role for DD but that's not the case.I guess they have a lot of confidence in the batsmen coming in later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fineleg Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Veeru has lost his brain He just plays mindless slogs, with the WC round the corner, its pathetic from him, he should be taking this seriously I think answer for all this wondering that ViruRulez has can be summed up in one word: Complacency This is something Sehwag goes through every once in a while, last time he was in one of these - he also lost form big time, and had to be dropped - that shook him up and he came back very well. Hope this time they don't need to resort to drastic things like dropping him, and he can shake himself out of this crappy mode that he is in. For GG - he did well in New Zealand, hope he recovers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegovegaz Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 i was about to open a thread on the same anyways they have been too complacent playing shots too early ideally, they should be dealing in singles and doubles for the first two overs and yes, we all know that's exactly not how sehwag goes about things thinks of slogging from ball one now, with the T20 wc cup, they must concentrate, focus on running between the wickets get their act together take some responsibility and seeing the form of other indian players barring rpsingh, rohit, rfan(to some extent), and the spinners, it seems the indian team is gearing up for a first round exit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
