kabira Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Re: Blunder of the day doesnt matter... batting second is tough in Durban.. Link to comment
veer Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Re: Blunder of the day blunder of the day dravid going two down.. when you chase big target and two wickets fall in quick pace, you dont leave dhoni, mongia and raina type player at the end.. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Re: Blunder of the day Blunder it was but given the magnitude of the drubbing wouldn't have made any difference. Link to comment
yoda Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Re: Blunder of the day @KS, Team is selected before the toss. I could care less if we batted first or second. Want to understand the rationale behind dumping Irfan. Can't see any. Can you? Link to comment
gator Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Re: Blunder of the day are u saying, irfan would have bowled them out for 85 and we would have won with a wicket to spare? Link to comment
mad_max Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Re: Blunder of the day The biggest blunder was before the series began with the selction for the tour. Link to comment

kabira Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Re: Blunder of the day Dravid had mentioned that he will go with best 4 bowlers..and looking at Pathan's bowling form he was dropped.. Although he can very well play as specialist batter..has better technique than Kaif, Mongia and Raina combined. Link to comment

But not selecting your seaming all rounder who is a world top XI performer on a seaming track is a recipe for disaster. Link to comment

Lurker Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Re: Blunder of the day Blunder of the day - To have spinners bowl 46% of the total overs on a seaming track.(23 out of possible 50). Says enough about the crazy composition of the starting XI. Link to comment
Gambit Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Re: Blunder of the day The biggest blunder was going to RSA! We should have stayed at home and invited Namibia for a 15 test and 30 ODI series. Link to comment
