Gambit Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Dravid was criticised by the comms for opting to bowl first. Link to comment
fineleg Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 how about - we are ultra cr@p? :hysterical: For being fans of this team, and hoping we can expect "consistency", *we* are idiots. yes. Link to comment
Gambit Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 fineleg, you seem to be a mistress of despair and doom. We won the test series and beat RSA! There are another 6 ODIs to go. With 'fans' like you, who needs enemies. Link to comment

P.S - Maybe it should be , " we win some , we lose a lot .. thats the way the indian team works." Link to comment

P.S - Maybe it should be , " we win some , we lose a lot .. thats the way the indian team works." Above is the reason for frustration. Forget great consistency, any "semblance" of consistency? Please? We are consistently losing (more often than not), so maybe there is consistency! And note: It is not winning or losing, I can tolerate losing - but show some fight. Not pathetic batting like today. Link to comment
yoda Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 atleast we are consistent in losing a lot. Link to comment

coffee_rules Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Nowadays, if Tendulkar or Yuvraj don't click we are losing the match. So, to win the matches we need these two to click. Today Yuvraj got a duck. That was the other 50% of the reason why we lost. The first 50% belongs to Dravid's captaincy brainwave about bowling first on a patta wicket. Link to comment

With 'fans' like you, who needs enemies.[/quote'] Ah, how perceptive of you. fineleg is the condensation of all misery in the world. But he nears the world's misery so that we may be free of its burden. He (she/it - never could figure out :) ) will moan and groan until we win, then will be happy for a minute and then find yet more faults. But consider him a necessary Yang to the Yin that is the eternal hope the rest of the fans have on the team . Link to comment
King Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 BTW if you haven't gotten used to losing in ODIs, you folks better get used to. It has nothing with the toss or anything. This team struggles in ODIs and don't quite know how to win the ODIs. Also India isn't a good fit ODI unit in terms of fielding and running between the wicket that is so crucial in ODIs. At the top of the order although you have two quality batters it won't help if one of them don't use the powerplay well. Tendulkar timed a lot of shots but found the fielder. That said the top order should go over the top in the first few overs. You've seen the likes of Gayle and Jayasuriya blow England away. Now we have players that time the ball and only hit on the ground. This type of cricket does not hurt England much. Irrespective you need explosive start at the top of the order and that is not going to happen in this ODI series for sure. Link to comment
theguyinallblue Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 thats where sehwag was effective..he always played shots over infield... sachin used to do it..Ganguly used to do it... they have forgotten now.. Link to comment
bigdhoni7 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 so we bring sehwag back then? for who? Link to comment
