ganeshran Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 After seeing Indian cricket on the way up, have we regressed back to the 90s? Sachin is still in pristine form, not too different from his peak. But the rest of the team seem to be making up the numbers. As soon as Sachin departed, all others dutifully gifted their wickets away. Why do we need to go for mindless slogs just because its a powerplay? Its the same "Sachin OUT, TV off" routine!! (
b555 Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 thats what i was saying even if sachin and gambhir took singles we would have reached 325+

b555 Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 oh cmon knee jerk reaction Its one game 175 wala match yaad hain na paaji?
flamy Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 when will u guys learn to chill and get out of ur cliched lives?
ganeshran Posted March 12, 2011 Author Posted March 12, 2011 oh cmon knee jerk reaction Its one game No its not. We have basically collapsed in every match we played.
Ranjha Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 thats what i was saying even if sachin and gambhir took singles we would have reached 325+ If England would have taken singles against India that day they would have won. If South Africa would have taken singles against England that day , they would have won. Leave the ifs and buts and enjoy the cricket. Agree the collapse was real bad but it happens when top order gets out at wrong time at start of pplay and with less overs left the pressure is on middle order to go from the word go.. Itw as middle order who took us home in past couple of games. Just chill
Ranjha Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 No its not. We have basically collapsed in every match we played. different collapses....Middle order didnt collapse last 2 games. come back again
Ranjha Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 175 wala match yaad hain na paaji? whata bout 175 game? India won against BD.
EnterTheVoid Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Sachin goes and the rest race back after him to the pavillion. Happened in that other game when he made 175.
DomainK Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Yeah, I am felling like I am back in the 90s. It's effin history all over again. Against England and now against SA.
Karan114 Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 whata bout 175 game? India won against BD. He means the one against Aus in 2009
vvvslaxman Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 That is false. Viru, Gauti still played well. Yuvi made 3 fifties in a row. Kohli is in good form. Problem is we have to tinker with the approach of the batting. When they take power play and a wicket falls.. they better go easy for couple more overs before opening out. India's problem is death over batting. Nothing more. We have to fix it. How to go about it. THere must be some strategy. There must be a minimum target which is run a ball and a maximum target. Make an attempt at maximum target. If doesn't go well at the start shut everything down and go for minimum target. Today they should have gone for 60 runs in the last10 overs
Ranjha Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 He means the one against Aus in 2009 This IS 2011. what about 2009?
b555 Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 whata bout 175 game? India won against BD. a, takling about match against aussies in hyderabad anyways am chilling now :om:
Ranjha Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 So when Sachin will get out for a low score and the rest will score, I guess it wont be effin 90s anymore lollll I guess Sehwag didnt score at all today right lmao
Ranjha Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Sachin and Gambhir were the set batsmen. Atleast one fo them should have carried us through to atleast the middle of it if not the end. How can you expect a new batsman liek Pathan, Yuvraj, Dhoni etc to go from the word go. It will happen but not all the time. Just chill
Ramzz Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 The thing is...we went for a 375 score and that is the biggest mistake...just play the ball on it merits...we were easily getting 6 an over. Depending on the batsmen left is not the way...it will take them a while to get set to get into proper hitting mode...no matter their reputation. Should only start hitting out in the 44th over or so...we could have got 375 even then.
ganeshran Posted March 12, 2011 Author Posted March 12, 2011 We are a 100 runs short on this halwa pitch.
