Our "rock stars" performance in WC T20

[vvvslaxman]

[The Outsider]

Everyone sucked except Rohit, Raina, and to some extent Harbhajan and Nehra.

[vvvslaxman]

Teams that have aggressive openers have done well. Lumb, Mahela, Watson, Warner, Kieswetter.. That is where we have faltered big time. Without Viru we are powerless in the opening overs.

rock stars - thats what Paki's say to mock India :finger:

Viru cannot have changed the outcome, would have been the same. All Hail IPL and 20-20 :giggle:

But that fear factor will be there .:winky: Even if he had clicked in one match India could have won. We were bowled out in 17 overs in a T20 game. That would have never happened.

[jusarrived]

they should have tried with Rohit opening .

^ oh they tried. in last wc LOL Our strategy was wrong. thats where we lost it. Packing team with 8 batsman and 3 bowlers is recipe for disaster when the 3 bowlers that you have suck too.

In T20 even 2 just inform batsmen are enough to win matches. We just had one. Raina. He struggled on a bouncy wicket. But he did well to come back in the next match. But none of others bar Rohit in a match helped him.

i posted this in the ipl thread but its relevant to this topic also: you know wht the funny thing is ???????? all the players that did well in the ipl didnt even make to the indian squad. i mean whats the point of having domestic t20 competition if you aren't going to use it as selection criteria for the t20 world cup. what PURPOSE does ipl serve? all the top indian batsmen in this ipl were guys that didnt make the squad - uthappa, rayudu, ganguly, tiwary. why not pick them all the top bowlers were ojha, irfan, mishra, ashwin, none of them made it. ridiculous. they picked jadeja instead. well done indian selectors and well done indian public for accepting this IPL serves no purpose except making money and bringing cheap publicity to ballywood hijdas before they release their next flop films.

[imran666]

only R jadeja can save indian cricket ..best depth bowler ever in history in my book :haha:

[cowboysfan]

where were the people who were arguing in favour of murali vijay after he hit a hundred on the flattest pitch in the world?.now even his test credentials will be called into question because of his perceived problems against the short ball.there was absolutely reason for his selection. Cheeka has been a mega failure as a selector.he lost us a test match against the saffers and the squad for the world cup was completely screwed up.time to let him go .

it was disappointing to hear Dhoni's post-match statement on IPL affects.. he said it didnt affect.. all were fresh and no one was carring injury.. Praveen kumar was carring injury and it was blatantly obvious that IPL affected this.. common captain be honest here...

You forgot to mention Viru ..

[Zelig]

Times Now is ripping into Dhoni's ****:giggle:

[Pak_Forever]

Dhoni's captaincy was sometimes questionable, but he shouldn't be held accountable for the rest of the team. Most of the batsmen failed to perform and bowlers barely had a good day other than Bhajji, so Dhoni ain't the sole culprit.

[TheWall]

Its not just Dhoni, the entire team is responsible for this dismal show
