ICC World T20, 2012 SriLanka

[rkt.india]

Long hops because when ball is wet bowlers try to grip it tight and if it does not come out well from the hand, it is dragged back short or too full and become full toss.

I simply want to see the back of Fletcher.

I also want to see his back, must be soft, pink, smooth and round. :alienbooty:

[Crookbond]

Indeed! This was the same pitch where Pakistan and SA spinners (FFS!) where spinning the ball. Even if you got the length right the ball did not grip and just went on to the bat. A perfect pitch even for Raina to hit through the line.

Einstein's quote was in an entirely different context (positive) though :--D

[Lord]

Don't consider JOginder as anything let alone bowler. :cantstop:

thats insult to our world cup winner.Misbah thought the same as u n the rest is history

[Ultimate_Game]

^ +1 The sooner we understand and set expectations right the better it is. We copied IPL from the EPL model and soon we will become the same team that England is in FIFA tournaments.

We have already become so in T20s. We have lost 7 straight World T20 knockout games which is a record for any of the Test nations.

You are favoring MS Dhoni in that post because according to the conditions during the toss it was good to play 3 spinners. Even Pakistan played 3 spinners and South Africa played 2 and used Duminy.

[bajrang]

nup, nothing here.

1. Sack Dhoni in all formats. 2. Replace Dhoni in tests 3. Strict fitness tests for selction, meaning half fit yuvraj does not play etc etc 4. Do not pick chawla 5. Do not pick pathan, balaji 6. Back speedsters and get more in and get rid of trundlers

wat about Bhajji' date=Rohit?

No I rate them' date= so they are excluded from my list. My main thing frankly is SACK DHONI and DROP HIM FROM TESTS!!

You are a joker... as a they, kutte ki punch kabhi seedhi nahi ho sakte... R.Sharma is not even good enough to lick I.Pathan shoes.... Drop Dhoni in T20s..Get Naman Ojha in.. Make Gambhir the captain.. Get Y.Pathan in as we need a wild card in our team

Considering the movement Zak was getting from his seam up deliveries, I think rain poured down heavily and caused fair dampness. But still no excuses for such poor performance. :((

this is what i had wrote and my fears turned out to be correct- It will depend on conditons and it may well turn out to be hara kiri against good bowling teams,just because bhajji and chawla did well you cannot play them the next match,when they were not the part of best team before hand and played because players were rested in no consequence match.If we are to go with 3 seamers and one of them is balaji its better to go with 7 batsman as 3 seamers are going to be hammered any ways and more i think of it playing 3 spinners is just not on as we can make it up with yuvraj,raina and others .so just blindly saying we will play 5 bowlers is not on.

:haha: We should not expect us to improve. Any win would be a bonus unless it is Sri Lanka or Pakistan of course. :phehehe:

[ganeshran]

Dhoni's batting cost us a competitive total. 15 off 21 balls in a T20 :facepalm: We all know bowling sucks, so they need an above par total to atleast exert some scoreboard pressure

But today you've got to admit that no combination of the bowling was to make any difference to the state of the result of the match.

[rkt.india]

Look at how aussies were delaying bowling in last 2-3 overs when drizzling started. They ensured it takes time and track gets more moisture.

[Lord]

Irfan should hv opened up after the rain.would definitely hv got some swing

[Yoda-esque]

Thats the hint right there...what about saying that he wants India to dominate all 3 formats or something like that...Now don't want to judge him by reading into his comments but that doesn't say anything about his motivation... I want to run the Marathon this year-Does that tell you that I am motivated enough to train?

I thought your knees were messed up? Its a big risk you are taking (serious)
