Ultimate_Game Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 this one off 14 balls :hysterical: I have never seen an Indian batsman, including tailenders, struggling so much against a spinner :haha:
Trichromatic Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 CSK and IPL superstar. I bet Sreesanth and RP can better than him against Spinners. Can't play pacers, can't play spinners. :facepalm:
ensd2 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Raina will scores 43 balls hundred in Champions League
Ultimate_Game Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 Stop complaining' date=' a poor decision ![/quote'] Who's complaining? Even if he hadn't got this decision, he still was struggling and what makes you think he would have managed to score runs?
asterix Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 As long as he is continuing to do Dhoni houshold's grocery shopping, escorting them to Vaishno Devi and doing other Misc chores, his place is secure..
gaurav92 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Raina is looking out of sorts, he is certainly a much better player than what his form suggests. Its about time he gets into the runs again.
urbestfriend Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Who's complaining? Even if he hadn't got this decision' date=' he still was struggling and what makes you think he would have managed to score runs?[/quote'] He was showing resilience to fight it out, unfortunately got out by poor decision in both innings.

CSK Fanatic Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 His average dropped from 68 to 29 in just 10 months, poor form. :((
J P K Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 hate to say this raina looks like minnow basher to me played well against windies but fails against quality sides
Ultimate_Game Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 He was showing resilience to fight it out' date=' unfortunately got out by poor decision in both innings.[/quote'] There's no defense for pair off 44 balls. He should have at least learnt from Mishra and at least tried to score. I thought he would have learned his lesson from 1st innings and seeing Mishra bat but I guess not. The guy still pottered around and sooner or later would have gotten out the way he was batting poor umpiring decision notwithstanding.
Number Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 clearly needs to find a balance between over-aggressiveness and over-defensiveness.

Dude, it is difficult for a left hander to face Swann than a right hander when ball is turning. Moreover he was not setting a target , he was trying to save a match.

It's a 5th day pitch and sooner or later you will get out and if you allow bowler to get on top of you and bowl to his strength, you are a sitting duck anyways. I admire Raina a lot and his innings in WC against Aus and Pak will always be etched in my memory but in this case he really looked clueless.
