Dravid_TheWall Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 His bowling is under fire on these tracks as well and bowling is his major asset. Yeah exactly, at most he is bowling all rounder but he will be milked here for runs I think.
rkt.india Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Infact, I'd say play 4 seamers on Perth track and Rahul Sharma as 1 spinner. I am getting a feeling Dhoni will again go with same unchanged team for Perth match :nervous: agree
achilles Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Sachin chokes again. Gambhir fails again. And Dhoni takes singles again. Regulation match discussion.
Tendulkar_Bhai Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Dhoni's stubborn selections and inability to experiment are the only reason we are in this mess. Bowling 5 spinners (inc Sharma and Raina) on this pitch was always gona be trouble and Rahul didnt even finish his allocation! His friend Jadega cant bowl on these pitches and as mentioned in not no. 7 batting material. Him and Ashwin lost us the match. Team for next game: Sehwag SRT Gambhir Kohli Rohit Dhoni Pathan Rahul Sharma Yadav Zak PK
cowboysfan Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 We lost this match before a ball had been bowled.we never play with less than 3 pacers in india but here we play with just vk and pk?
CG Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said Virender Sehwag was `rested' to give Rohit Sharma an opportunity in the first ODI of the triangular series here on Sunday. Dhoni explained, “If you want to make Rohit (Sharma) play, then an experienced player can come and go out of the side. But it may be hard for Rohit to come in later if he does not get going before the later stages of the tournament. You could find him playing in tougher second half without much practice. It’s a long series and we want to win it.” Left-arm paceman Zaheer Khan, he revealed, had a minor fitness concern. “Zaheer has a niggle in the knee, but he should be fit for the later games,” he said. Dhoni conceded that the spinners disappointed on the big ground. “The execution of our plan was not good. It’s a worry if Jadeja doesn’t bowl well. The balance of the side is affected. You also need someone who can bat at number seven.” The Indian captain added leg-spinner Rahul Sharma did a fair job. “He did not get consistently hit like the others, and there were quite a few runs he conceded off the edges.” Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, he pointed, was a good bowler who had still not got used to the Australian conditions. On not playing an additional paceman, Dhoni said, “We expected rain but thought we would lose only five to six overs. We did not think we would lose 18 overs in an innings. It affects your strategy since you have only three overs remaining for the pacemen.” Asked about replacing the experienced Brad Haddin as the wicket-keeper batsman, Man-of-the-Match Matthew Wade said, “I want to live in the present moment, and am not looking too far ahead. I am happy with my game.” To make the occasion more special, this was Wade's ODI debut.
1983-2011 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 team for next match: sehwag sachin gambhir kohli rohit dhoni pathan zaheer vinay rahul sharma
achilles Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Dhoni conceded that the spinners disappointed on the big ground. ŵhe execution of our plan was not good. ItÃÔ a worry if Jadeja doesnÃÕ bowl well. The balance of the side is affected. You also need someone who can bat at number seven. Wonder why he isn't that critical about the technique of his chamcha Suresh Raina. Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin' date=' he pointed, was a good bowler who had still not got used to the Australian conditions.[/quote'] Irony, isn't it? Ashwin is here from December and he has "not got used to the conditions". Jadeja has hardly been here for 2 weeks and his bowling is a "worry"?
1983-2011 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 dhonis chamchas in his IPL team: raina jaddu ashwin
achilles Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 That doesn't change the fact that Dhoni selectively targets players. Its like he attacks weak players who he knows will not respond back. And, his opinions are ironic as I just pointed out.
nitinbwj Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 dhobi is an A**hole..why don't you take care of your stupid batting approach and decisions instead of criticizing others :mad: ..:finger:
Dravid_TheWall Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Sree was the only one who stood up to him but then Dhoni lobby crushed him in response
yadhav500 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 SL is so low in confidence and talent that we will beat them comprehensively with the same XI. No changes needed unless injuries.
Ultimate_Game Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 SL is so low in confidence and talent that we will beat them comprehensively with the same XI. No changes needed unless injuries. You are in for a surprise. SL chased 300+ against SA in their last game and won the last 2 odis. With fast bowling all-rounders like Angelo Matthews, Thissera Pereira and Kulasekara they will be no push-overs and I can't see the team we played y'day getting the better of SL.
yoda Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Sree was the only one who stood up to him but then Dhoni lobby crushed him in response I like your focus. :two_thumbs_up:
