Lord Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Wickets were tumbling at the other end. He was batting with Bhuvi. Kohli is not Dhoni -- he can't score at 6 RPO even with Bhuvi. :D he should have tried atleast.I dont think he batted at even 4 rpo,let alone 6 Link to comment
zakk Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 :WTF: we were in a position to score quicker or declare the inn this guy played like as if we were in a position to lose the game and if you rate this innings as good dhawan will quit cricket forever :cantstop: yeah he should have tried like dhoni and other batsmen and gave away his wicket instead. what a joke :hysterical: Link to comment
JaFanatic Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 yeah he should have tried like dhoni and other batsmen and gave away his wicket instead. what a joke :hysterical: nothing wrong in it no point in wasting the time and enforcing a draw in a winning position :finger: Link to comment
zakk Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 nothing wrong in it no point in wasting the time and enforcing a draw in a winning position :finger: what? :mad: that lead of 91 runs helped us winning this match Link to comment
JaFanatic Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 what? :mad: that lead of 91 runs helped us winning this match you dont necessarily need that lead do you ? its about winning this test match but we were in a defensive mode without declaring and going for that extra lead and more over that this guy was playing with no responsibility he simply wants to score as much as possible and stay not out till the end of the innings. thats not at all acceptable considering that aussies had the chance of batting for 3 sessions and enforce a draw p.s atleast he should have played it like an odi Link to comment

If we were chasing 220 plus yesterday there would have been lot more pressure on us and we would have drawn most likely. And now trying to increase team lead is playing selfishly:cantstop: Link to comment
Debutant Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Was playing brilliantly to snatch a draw from the jaws of a win but unfortunately for Aussies got out in the wrong time. Was well supported by Captain Cool too with a calm 5 from 24 balls. Link to comment

But obviously what does he knows when it comes to chasing under pressure. Link to comment
CSK Fan Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yet Captain cool has won more matches while chasing targets than any other Indian in history. But obviously what does he knows when it comes to chasing under pressure. In tests? Really? Link to comment

JaFanatic Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 What we don't need leads to win test matches :hysterical: where did i say so ? :finger: The 91 run lead was a massive reason in us winning the match. If we were chasing 220 plus yesterday there would have been lot more pressure on us and we would have drawn most likely. of course it was but my question was whats the point in playing it safe for that 91 run lead. we were in the driver seat at that point and its our responsibility to play some positive cricket but the way we played it seemed as if we were trying to draw this match from a losing position. since we were going for a lead they really had opportunity to play out 3 sessions to enforce a draw so thats actually a defensive cricket irrespective of the match's result And now trying to increase team lead is playing selfishly:cantstop: increasing the lead at less than 3 an over when wks were tumbling on the 2nd and 3rd sessions of day 4 is a positive approach for you ? thank god your not our team mentor :cantstop: Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The club should realise their foolish ways when they see joke test players like Raina in again. We should worship kohli, as he can play anywere in world. Raina will just get bounced out and have oppo comms just snrearing at us against short ball Link to comment
Yoda-esque Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 When is the Chairman leaving ? Link to comment
BeautifulGame Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 In tests? Really? And chasing 20 odd from 4 overs in 3rd test was a test match scenario seriously? Link to comment
JaFanatic Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 When is the Chairman leaving ? series isn over yet :beee: And chasing 20 odd from 4 overs in 3rd test was a test match scenario seriously? 30 from 10 overs isn Link to comment
SLICKR392 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 The club should realise their foolish ways when they see joke test players like Raina in again. We should worship kohli' date= as he can play anywere in world. Raina will just get bounced out and have oppo comms just snrearing at us against short ball Why? Because he fails in testing conditions or scores 100s on dead rubbers? Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Why? Because he fails in testing conditions or scores 100s on dead rubbers? Yes Yes, this whole series is apparently one big dead rubber and he averages 80. Plus already has a test ton in Aus. What nonsense you are spouting Link to comment
rkt.india Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 In tests? Really? it was an ODI kind of situation. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Averaged 50 in 2012 and now 80 in 2013. And we have posters hating him and wanting him out of team. Pathetic. Not indian fans imo. Link to comment
