Trichromatic Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Best teams should try to win the match against oppositions, especially if it is a weak team.
DeepFineLeg Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 just the least crappiest of the number twos :hehe: I would say that while we are #1 our reign will be fairly short lived. Its hard to reach the top - GK and MSD deserve some credit there, as do the Aussies - but its harder to stay at the top. SA or ENG will overtake us within the next 12 months. We are just too defensive and lack the drive or intensity to go for the kill.
Pagalpanti Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Like it or not, we're no.1 Surely not like the dominating WI or Aussies, but we're the best of the current lot. Today's match could've been won easily but there was no intent. I wont be too critical though, teams have bad day, at least they won the series? So lets celebrate the 3rd ever series win in WI. :two_thumbs_up:
cowboysfan Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 We are definitely no 1,england and the chokers dont deserve to be no 1.
Dravid Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Best teams should try to win the match against oppositions' date=' especially if it is a weak team.[/quote'] was that our best team on the field today brah?

We are just too defensive and lack the drive or intensity to go for the kill. Who takes over in the rankings doesn't matter. When India was in a good situation, it shouldn't have gone defensive. They should have played for win even if India were no 4 or no 5.
Cricketics Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Though I don't agree with the title, We didn't play like number 1 today. Or I want to say, the decisions taken like early shake hands. To hell with it.
saneindian Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 FFS , when were no 6 in 2003 and Aussies were without Mcgrath and Warne, they nearly lost a series to us!! So stop this comparison with what the Aussies would have done.

urbestfriend Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Comparison is not about how they performed but the lack of intent. +1 It is about intent..Now dhoni says there is nothing for the bowler and flat track bla bla...At least show some intent to move towards the target, send in a pinch hitter...15 overs 80 runs , anything would have been possible..

The team showed it's intent in the last test through a sporting declaration. Stop being a wrist slitter man.
DeepFineLeg Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 The team showed it's intent in the last test through a sporting declaration. Stop being a wrist slitter man. Stop being a loser man. This game was there to be won. The finish line was in sight. We decided to walk the other way.
saneindian Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Comparison is not about how they performed but the lack of intent. Missing 5 key players from the team (say Hayden, Langer, Mcgrath, Warne and Clarke/Hussey) do you think the Aussies or any other great side of the previous era would have shown the same "intent"? You are winning the series, you showed an intent in the last test, team and captain may relax/be complacent in the last day/session of a test series.
saneindian Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Stop being a loser man. This game was there to be won. The finish line was in sight. We decided to walk the other way. Stop whining dude. Granted the effort from the batting unit wasn't how it should be, but the wrist slitting going in simply amazing!!
