rkt.india Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 How? I am not sure. Please elaborate. I also hope you read my complete post where I pointed out certain aspects of IPL that impede hitting growth. Not all grounds in India are small or have short boundaries. Jaipur, Mohali, Chennai, Hyderabad, all have big enough boundaries. CSK and MI both have won CLT20, 2/4 are won by IPL teams. Vijay and Raina scored runs in CL last time it was played in SA. Last time Indian batsmen apart from Kohli struggled in CL because RCB played most matches at batting paradise of Chinnaswamy and Kohli an Gayle flourished. Though I would agree that there are not many Indian batsmen who have scored big runs in CLT20 apart from Raina, Vijay, and Kohli.

I am not too sure on Chennai having big boundaries. The only ground with a good boundary size is at Jaipur and not surprisingly batsmen fail to clear it. Boundaries at Bangalore are the biggest joke. Also, do not forget the "great" bowlers as well. Most sixes in IPL 2012 - This should give some idea. No code has to be inserted here.
Crookbond Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 The Indian batsmen in the top list - Sehwag, Gambhir, Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Mayank Agarwal. Three of them are already in the national team!
Crookbond Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 How many wins over a period of time be "luck"? :dontknow:

Three of them are already in the national team![/quote'] But I dont think likes of Sehwag, Raina, Rohit could utilize their ability to hit sixes enough. Rohit yesterday faced Faf, Dumini, Peterson, Botha but he took most risks on Morne Morkel of all rather than part timers. He would thrash these part timers every day of the week.

rkt.india Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 The Curious Case of Rohit - less said the better. In my books' date=' he has a mental block for the international level.[/quote'] He certainly needs some one experienced batsman to guide him in the middle. Dhoni did it against England. Sachin have done it in IPL.
Crookbond Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 how r they mutually exclusive events if they r about the same man? saffers play slow spin well?so why do they struggle against Bhajji's slow spin in LOIs yeah I would listen to wat they said n not look at how it behaved in afternoon match,Ashwin was getting big turn,so much for flat deck n no he didnt get tonked against Eng in WC.as for Chawla,I said its only if u want variety,read the full line.I m not sure how Balaji makes it more uncomfortable for SA n comfortable for India than Chawla :facepalm: Start calling yourself as hindsight 20/20 expert after that comment - Seriously dude WTF? You need to take the decision BEFORE the game. AFTER the game even I can tell you how the pitch will behave etc. :cantstop: They are mutually exclusive because we were NOT playing England yesterday. Frankly, your calls for inclusion of Chawla is surprising! Chawla and Harbhajan got tonked against a similar SA team in the ODI WC - so much for bad players of spin then. The fact of the matter is YOU FEEL playing Harbhajan would have been better. There is not data to prove for or against your point is my stand. SA unable to play Harbhajan in a T20 game on a slow pitch is a mere speculation which I am not going to agree to. As I said earlier, you can give it a suggestion but to pass that off as fait accompli is being naive and conforming to being "popular" than being "right".
Lord Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 The Curious Case of Rohit - less said the better. In my books' date=' he has a mental block for the international level.[/quote'] ++ talent can help upto domestic level not any further

SA have plenty of times struggled against Bhajji on slow pitches in ODIs.atleast that is something to look at,nothing for Balaji. I m not saying it'd have definitely worked.but u give urself best chance of winning n Balaji wasnt that.

King Khan Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 NZers criticise ICC on Finn kicking wicket & superover rule Mike Hesson, the New Zealand coach, has questioned the ICC's rationale behind using a Super Over in non-knockout matches. "I can't work out why, in a non-elimination game, you have to have a Super Over. I've never worked that out,'' Hesson said. "We lost a couple of key moments. You know, we were two runs away from being top of the pool and being top qualifier, so there's a level of satisfaction there but I think every team that leaves the World Cup without the trophy's disappointed and we're no different." Hesson also criticised the ICC on the issue of a bowler knocking the stumps during his bowling stride. In New Zealand's match against England, Steven Finn bumped into the stumps thrice. The first ball was a leg-side wide, second was played for a single and the third was hit to the boundary by James Franklin. However, each time the ball was ruled as dead, the bowler getting away without a warning. "I have also never worked out how you can kick the stumps over and get a benefit. If that doesn't change they [the ICC] have got rocks in their head," Hesson said. "I'm not sure how they came to that conclusion. Basically we [all coaches and captains] came to a meeting pre-tournament and they told us what was happening. There wasn't a discussion. "I don't blame Steven Finn but they've made one rule for one person. He also did it once [for a warning] but not twice against Sri Lanka. It would have been interesting to see the response if they had hit a boundary.'' CI
