CoverDrive Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 For all his smartness Warne seems to be getting the combination wrong. Top talent like Rahane, Pankaj Singh, Chahar are sitting out while guys like Yagnik, Raut Amit Singh keep getting games. They need to get Rahane and Pankaj Singh in and also Drop Tait for Botha. Open with Dravid and Watson Then Rahane at 3 followed by Taylor/Botha Menaria
Ultimate_Game Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Agreed fully. Ppl give Warne too much credit and decisions like sitting Rahane and Chahae in favor of Asnodkar and Amit Singh tells a different story altogether. I suspect Warne doesn't even know the squad he has and what the players are capable of. Maybe he should check the players' cricinfo profile page to get a better idea about HIS team. And decisions like not opening with Watson and pushing Taylor down the order while chasing a mammoth total portray him in a very poor light indeed.
jibranpatel15 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 well warne is struggling clearly. He doesn't find the combination of his team correctly. It was a good decesion to include asnodkar & Keeper in place of Paunikar who s u c k e d all 4 matches. But his decesion to open with RD while chasing 196 was stupidity. Also Had 2 over of Watson & Tait each when March was striking big & he didn't bother bring them back instead kept them for last 4 overs where they already scored 169 after 15 overs itself. He himself is struggling as he gave away 50/1 in his 4 overs & with Trivedi 59/0 so total makes it 109 in 8 overs while Tait & watson went at 20 & 24 respecrively & 5 wkts in BTW them aswell.
jibranpatel15 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Rajasthan's highest point scorer is Botha & he is sitting out since 3 games now & no one is even near him in distance of 30 points. This shows hom much Rajastha sucks without him & he is the only batsmen not to be dismissed in this IPL 4 till date. Warne has got to play him at any cost man. Maybe drop Taylor/Tait/himself for Botha.
flamy Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Why the puck is Chahar not playing? :hitler: Somebody tweet him Chahar's youtube vid :woot:
CoverDrive Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 chahar may not be fit for T20 but atleast play pankaj singh. I dont understand his fascination with virtual unknowns and ignore proper FC players. Also you are right he probably does not know his full squad and their past records.
Holysmoke Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Warne didnt even play atul sharma when he had the chance:facepalm:
Roshanrocks Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Atul Sharma got permanently injured when the tractor tire he was pushing fell on him :sniffle: What can Warne do about it?
urbestfriend Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Dont want Chahar to play IPL and lose his confidence. Rather they should play Pankaj Singh who is much faster than trundlers like Trivedi. As far as Rahane, I think he has no place in the lineup with Dravid playing at the top. They need big hitters down the order and Rahane doesn't fit the spot.
someone Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 It is rather simple, if you win, everything is good, best captain. Lose, everything is bad. I will give him credit for being innovative and trying new things but again he is far too conservative in this way, leaving his best players in lower order just to prevent the inevitable.( Instead out them potentially getting out early overs, they get out in mid overs when already the required rate is higher thus more pressure only on themselves)
vvvslaxman Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Should be renamed as Rajasthan Random XI. I think Warnie fixes his batting order throwing a dice.
ch1234 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Rahana is such a talent to be ignored.. He is a genuine clean batsman.. Will be there ahead of Rauts and Asnodkar.. Warne looks like losing the plot.
ludhianvi Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Rajasthan is trying to fill holes in batting order by keeping one of their main strikers down the order as if it is a Test match and everybody gets to play two innings.:hehe: It's simple. Let your best players play most the of overs by placing them in the top order rather than wasting someone like Taylor at #6/7
nospam Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Should play either Dravid or Rahane not both and both should open with Shane Watson.
flamy Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Dont want Chahar to play IPL and lose his confidence. Rather they should play Pankaj Singh who is much faster than trundlers like Trivedi. As far as Rahane' date=' I think he has no place in the lineup with Dravid playing at the top.
