Whom do you blame ?

[The Dark Horse]

I blame the BCCI -and:giggle: The curator.

[kabira]

blame karne ka mann mane bhi hove he.. lekin ki kare.. koyi mil nai raha.. in other words, whats the point of this?

[jusarrived]

the curator the only way SL's cud have matched us in tests is on a Flat track ..& for reasons no known we have given them that opportunity ....apart from Sanga , the rest of SL batting is filled with FTB's & they wud have had no chance on a pitch with any assistance for our seamers .

Blame the curators and no one else for producing this cement wicket.

:yawn2: waise India's top order should have at least contributed some runs. Dont blame Dravid but almost everybody else to blame. Yuvi and Dhoni lost patience when they should have lost.

[The Outsider]

By OP's logic anyone who has ever gone past 50 in the history of cricket and not managed to remain unbeaten is a culprit.

[Sachinism]

Our top order really should have shown some better application. They just had to get past the 1st hour or so and then they could have capitalized on this wicket. Its a crap pitch which leads to crap cricket, but that can't be blamed for the position we are in. Our batsmen let us down

And if they throw their wicket getting cute like Yuvraj/Harbhajan.

[Fontaine]

?? How can we possibly blame any of Dravid, Dhoni or Yuvraj for not taking us over 500, when our score read a disastrous 32/4 after 40 mins of play?

I dunno, maybe because they're suffering from idiocy? It's like saying, never mind that UV, Dhoni, Dravid scored a ton of runs, just because they played a poor shot (like the top order) then they deserve the blame also! It's like saying, it doesn't matter if a centurion plays one bad shot (and gets out) out of 200 or so deliveries. He played one bad shot so he deserves blame. I find it's an argument put forward mostly by people who've never played real competitive sports of any kind but are champions of sitting at home on their butts and complaining.

When people can blame SRT for HYD loss (175) then nothing can be surprising when it comes to player bashing :giggle:.

I dont disagree

[ludhianvi]

With Dhoni winning the toss and batting first, it was crucial that the first session be played out cautiously but India lost four wickets for nothing. The top order still has a chance to comeback and salvage a draw in the second innings.
