Cricket Tragic Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I presumed that CT was suggesting that less viewership equates to lesser practice sessions.
Trichromatic Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Sometimes I feel too many practise matches may reveal the teams strategy to the opposition and also the latest forms and weaknesses of the players. Ofcourse I am being finicky but anyone else who thinks so ? Strategy - no. Weaknesses - yes. But that's what practice sessions are for. Correcting weaknesses and forms. In modern era generally coaches know weaknesses of opposition.
Rightarmfast Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Yepp, kind of everybody knows others game these days . Atleast the practise matches does provide the opportunity for the lesser players to show their mettle ! I agree actually that there should be more practise matches !
Crookbond Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 It turns out the statement was a credibility check to the post on which it was replied for. :((
Karan114 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Myself and my Gujarati friend watched a practice session. Infact, I watched two of them. He described Sree on Tuesday as bowling medium-pace: that transferred to the 3rd test. I saw the fielding practice too- it was short and unintense. The senior players generally finished nets really early and went off for a rest. Reserve players barely bowled. I saw Raina bowl more than Munaf. To show that I am not being biased, Pakistan's practice session before Manchester 2nd test 2006 was poor and amateur- and then we got slaughtered by Harmison on a quick pitch. Gary Kirsten, where are you? :( When the team is in a crisis, it is up to the captain to rouse his troops, but I guess Dhoni had lost the team. The utter disinterest of the Indian players towards the most anticipated Test series of the year was staggering.
Cricket Tragic Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Can we abandon the tour... No way. I've got tickets for the Oval test.
mishra Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 This is a forum where a member who accused the whole Indian team of fixing matches to lose the WC remains active and popular. The fact that he/she contributes nothing positive to the forum appears irrelevant. I dont know the specifics of what you are stating but I kind of agree with your analysis. There are few so called popular posters who repetedly get away with a lot of targetted insults. They can be Indian, They may be very good at presenting themselves, But seriously, for me they are the ones who make a new member loose interest on the forum.
mishra Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 No way. I've got tickets for the Oval test. :haha:
Rightarmfast Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 No way. I've got tickets for the Oval test. Yehan Indian team ki fati padi hai aur ise apni ticket ki lagi hai :hysterical::hysterical::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha:
