Nehra is awful and should not be anywere near Indian team

[HowardRoark]

He has to gain confidence hasn't he. He started his career very young. So he needs to be given as many chances as possible to come back :cantstop:

Was Dhoni a psychiatric councellor in his last birth doing confidence building for his clients? :hmmm:

[Sid]

he's short of form and match practice yaar. I still rate him over munaf n sresanth.... :dontknow:

But yaar he is out of form for over a year now :cantstop:

ALl you criticzing nehra are fair weather fans. GO DIE. You guys hide behind when he performs well, and come out when he hasn't done good. Who doesn't go for 14 runs in an over these days? It's too easy these days. He could have bowled better, thats about it. It's not that he lost the game for us only. He has often bowled last overs for India nad won us. I am not a big Nehra fan, but you gotta stfu and blame it on only one guy. Anyone could have gone for 14 runs in last over. It was just not his day. mytwocents. PEAC EOUT.

Well said. Sometimes it helps to give the opposition the credit where due and move on. Plus there are no guarantees the alternate options would not have gone for couple of boundaries. It is not as if we had Joel Garner waiting along with Nehra to pick one from.

we expect nehra to do well because he is experienced enough and should know how to bowl. he is not fit enough and he should not have got selected in this team. its not as if he is bowling quick or bowling a pretty good line and length. he is awful, just accept it or stfu:--D

**step-up to be the captain

missed that part.. but that is not something Sehwag/Gambhir can choose to be.

[jonas10]

Sree = wicket taking bowler as per Kapil Dev, Imran Khan Wasim Akram and Bedi But I guess Dhoni knows more than these garbage bowlers.

[pensionplan]

The complaining brigade are out w/ their knives :giggle: .... If Bhajji had bowled that over, we would have had a similar thread for him too

Without a doubt that would have been the case.

Fans should learn to accept this is what cricket is: there would be bad balls, bad shots, bad fielding, etc. It's part of the game .... Move on now!

Spot on.

[Mandrake]

even with bhajji result should have been same but with Nehra it was always going to go this way...too predictable..despite the batting disaster we should have won this match

[asterix]

Why blame Nehra? He has been mediocre for long..Not his fault.. The REAL fault lies somewhere else..

[FairCricket]

problem is even tailender like robin peterson can score 13 runs in his over with huge pressure too :winky:

[vvvslaxman]

How did Nehra bowl upfront? Was he having any rythm going? Death overs have to be bowled by confident bowlers . If he was short on confidence he shouldn't have bowled.

[kabira]

when they needed 18 off 12 balls, it was easy task for them, But then I thought our two best bowlers of the day will bowl over each. Zaheer bowled out of his skin. that was brilliant over...well Raina missed the run out.. Everyone thought it will be bhajji. I mean he had great day so far, took 3 top order wickets. Why wouldn't you give it to your best bowler. If he loses it, you can always say, well bad luck ,he was my best bet anyways..

[Debutant]

Chill guys.Our batting apart from top 3 totally failed.Looking forward to the WI match and Roach bowling against India.

[mastana]

Nehra salla daanton ki dukaan :finger:

[Ranvir]

All you Nehra defenders seriously need your heads checked. 14 needed of the last over and it was the crappy number 9 batsman in, it was hardly a big ask from Nehra.

[asterix]

UV and Pathan didn't completed his quota and here we have a fecking captain who is hell bent to justify every pathetic bowler he picks up in a match..If he selects Chawla, he gets to bowl more and screw up. If he selects Nehra, he gets to bowl more and screw up..The problem lies in the EGO and ADAMANT nature to PROVE HIS POINT ABOUT TEAM SELECTIONS..

[goose]

The batsmen lost the game when they decided to consolidate instead of wreaking untold havoc.

Looking at the avg cricket fans response at this loss, I am glad we lost .... Hopefully the team will lose to WI too and then qualify for QF based on NRR, that should keep many of these fans under extra pressure :giggle: Would be fun to read more bench racer analysis and complaining threads :P
