Pathan not opening the bowling.

that was epic brainfart

[Pagalpanti]

This was bound to happen. 5 bowlers never work for us, we should always back our best ability ie. batting. Pack our top 7 with batters with irfan, ashwin, bhajji at 8,9,10. And go full on from first over. We should at least get 170+ and hope our bowlers defend it.

A weak team got thrashed when even decision making failed.

After watching India's performance this one looks much better effort :phehehe:

It was quite evident that giving another over to Albie just after Kallis got hit all over was a bad decision . As soon as Albie was given the ball I knew that it will be a huge over and indeed it was . I cant believe AB could be so ignorant of the issue when even casual fans could predict the outcome of his move . Tailenders enjoy wacking the medium pacers and struggle against spin comparatively . Should have mixed up a bit in the last overs with spin and pace especially with 4 overs left from Duminy and Botha .

lack of 6 hitters.

I feel my return to the forum had a lot to do with it, really lifted our team knowing that I was awake and watching.

I have more experience under my belt now, my new match threads will result in monstorous wins for Australia.

goal post khaali hai bhai...ball daal de undaar :giggle: :haha:

:hysterical:

[youngindia]

rely on batsmen to win. our bowlers are not matchwinners without undue help from conditions. only an idiot strategic thinker will rely on bowlers who can bat and bowlers who can bat a bit.they have lot of limitations .its one thing to see armchair fans with ignorance of absic technique to show such ignroance but totally unacceptable for a captain to do team selection this way.

[youngindia]

which selection errors you are talking about?

5 bowlers and pathan oening.

[youngindia]

he is a bowling allrounder who shud not pass no.8. only someone who do not know cricketing basics would expect a bowling allrounder to pass for a specialist batsman. he can be used occasionally to surprise the opposition in a huge chase for example.but only surrpises.he shud not occupy a specialist's place at all costs.

[Debutant]

Offcourse it hurts
