vvvslaxman Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 So the reason why you were defending Dravid in that thread I created the other day was ..... ? Plz dont use the word defending" I am not his lawyer. Infact i was the one who brought up his oval innings.
vvvslaxman Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 We had lost just two wickets and Kohli took 16 balls to crawl from 91 to 100, which actually killed any chance of india getting bonus point. Sachin had moved for same margin in 13 balls in a match played as much slower pace. You start accusing Kohli of stalling that innings, I'll start agreeing with you. PS - You use Lahori Logic then I'll use the same. Did Kohli play like 7 dot balls in a row during his passage from 90 to 100? Moreover i have explained... at what stage you reach 90 is important.. he reached his 90 at 23rd over.. Again.. Again Again.. Again... this is not about 90 to 100.. This is about how you play with 20 overs to go.. with 9 wickets in hand..
Old guy Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 lol way to twist the point ... the point is in Asia a total above 275 is more often than not a winning total even for mediocre bowling attacks despite the popular belief that runs contrary. This is a classic example of how if you shout long and hard you can convert half truths to facts. but it wasnt enough last year in world cup (2 times ) even bangladesh got so many runs against us ya ofc some times u wll be able to defend 275.. but our team has also defended under 200 score many times does it mean its par score in asia ?
Raghav_12 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Did Kohli play like 7 dot balls in a row during his passage from 90 to 100? Did Kohli even try a lofted drive like Sachin and hit a four in 90's, the way Sachin did in his 90's?
vvvslaxman Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Did Kohli even try a lofted drive like Sachin and hit a four in 90's' date=' the way Sachin did in his 90's?[/quote'] 1.1 Duminy to Karthik, 1 run, 55.1 mph, tossed up on the off, driven down the ground to long-on for a single 31.2 Duminy to Tendulkar, SIX, 54.6 mph, that's disappeared, bowled it flat but Tendulkar was committed to that shot, charged down the ground, picked it off a good length and smacked it over long-on into the stands 31.3 Duminy to Tendulkar, 1 run, 50.6 mph, short on the off, pushed wide of point for a single 31.4 Duminy to Karthik, no run, 55.5 mph, fires it short on the off, punched back to the bowler from the crease 31.5 Duminy to Karthik, 1 run, 59.3 mph, tossed up on the off, driven towards long-on for a single 31.6 Duminy to Tendulkar, FOUR, 58.9 mph, Duminy was lucky to not get his hands to that one though he did give it a try, bowled it full on the off, Tendulkar charged forward and drilled it hard past Duminy, over the umpire's head, for another four i rest my case. Was there any semblance of attempt
Old guy Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Did Kohli even try a lofted drive like Sachin and hit a four in 90's' date=' the way Sachin did in his 90's?[/quote'] so his selfishness justifies tendulkar's ? moreover u aren ot seeing the diff (don know for sure but we are tlaking abt this pakistan innings right ? ) well with kohli it was def team ploy to play lil slowly.. and save wickets till end thats hwy both rohit and kohli played slowly and wht kind of logic is this should ve gone for bonus point ? cant u see difference between both the situations ?
vvvslaxman Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 so his selfishness justifies tendulkar's ? moreover u aren ot seeing the diff (don know for sure but we are tlaking abt this pakistan innings right ? ) well with kohli it was def team ploy to play lil slowly.. and save wickets till end thats hwy both rohit and kohli played slowly and wht kind of logic is this should ve gone for bonus point ? cant u see difference between both the situations ? It is so easy to score 300 in 40 overs against Pakistan whose bowling attack is gazillion times better than Bangladesh.. but it is very tough to score 300 in 50 overs against BD :cantstop: oh the logic
vvvslaxman Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Why don't you show me a post where you used words to the effect that it was a disgracefull moment ? It is one thing to point out the flaws but quite another to call the inngs as a disgracefull moment. Understand ? Each fan has their own take on the situation. I cannot speak for others.
Old guy Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 not some times ... but most times ... check the stats I posted earlier in this thread. so form now on if our batsman have good chance to get to score of 350... they should not cos 280 is good enough ? right ?
Old guy Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 No it highlights your hypocrysy. how.. plz explain
