why chase unless we have to?

[jhakati]

when he knows we suck chasing even a small total, he chose to field in such a high pressure game :giggle: as if the mistake in fielding first vs australia wasnt bad enough

[bear23]

he had high hopes about indian pace attack.

coz if we had batted in seamer friendly conditions we would have been bowled out for under 100

[jhakati]

he had high hopes about indian pace attack.

he said there is swing and then began with bhajji's spin bowling:giggle:

[Dinx - the Jinx]

he is becoming an ass hole quickly

uff .. what the eff, u think vijay/gambhir/yusuf would've destroyed WI bowling attack and Jadeja would've bowled the right handers round their legs in case we batted first ? **** squad will perform like **** irrespective of who bats first.

[Dinx - the Jinx]

With his ego and an attitude to prove a point, he is going to cost india a lot more victories... Go save indian test cricket

i just dont think he a genuinely skillful cricket brain he's not a naturally talented cricketer either, and i think his captaincy reflects that

after 96 wc semi fiasco, iam convinced that whenever we take fielding first after winning the toss in crucial matches then we are doomed. well... most of the times.

oh come on We would have lost it and SA have almost chased it India 186/5 (20/20 ov); South Africa 172/5 (20/20 ov) Aussies have really exploited the short ball against us

not sure if someone could pull up the statistics, but im sure our win rate in ODIs/T20s is below 40% batting 2nd period

[ViruRulez]

Dhoni has been turning as a terrible captain gradually since the last few months at least .. his decisions in this WC have been dismal to say the least ... he was a great captain but he is not looking that great anymore ... sometimes his decisions have clicked but nonetheless many of his decisions have been crap in recent times
