The Outsider Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 :hysterical: so 8-0 due to Dhoni but 1-1 was due to team where Dhoni happened to be the captain Still don't get why Sachin fanbois are so anti-Dhoni No, but 0-8 could have been 2-6 if we had a better kaptaan. It could have been 2-5 if we had a kaptaan who was a wicketkeeper instead of a goalkeeper, and it could have been 2-4 if we had a kaptaan who could bat away from home. Now 2-4 doesn't sound too bad compared to 0-8, does it?

Would be fun to run the same and see who wins the Champions Trophy
Texan Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 His peaks are very high. His valleys are very low.. Nothing in between. Very true.
Texan Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 ICC describes the 50-over World Cup as the pinnacle in the sport and it is the highest recognized accolade. So, it has to be the World Cup 2011. I remember with fondness the moment we won the World Cup. I had tears in my eyes. After following the sport for 2 decades, I had finally witnessed our team achieve the pinnacle in the sport.

For Indian cricket fans it was a moment to cherish and is a "where were you" moment :icflove: I never really thought I would see another WC win by India just like Eng footie team never won anything after 1966. Now at least I know what it feels like to win a WC and that too by beating Pakis on the way to the title :yay:

Ultimate_Game Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I was watching the India Australia QF in HD yesterday and now am watching the SF against the padosis :--D I watched the S/F over the weekend Have the Q/F, S/F and Final on DVDs and watch them occasionally. Always brings a smile to your face no matter how down you are :two_thumbs_up: Still remember the gamut of emotions when Dhoni hit that 6... didn't even know how to react. Even when India were sure to win and India were just 4 runs away from a win I just couldn't believe it and was waiting in the same spot (my lucky position) till winning runs were scored. After that 6 jumped about and went crazy with friends followed by driving around with the India flag :isalute: Nothing can ever beat that day :icflove:
The Outsider Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Can you share the software/models on which you are running all these simulations? Would be fun to run the same and see who wins the Champions Trophy Firstly software and models are not interchangeable as you have implied. Software is based on a model, and no I can't share them since they are proprietary. However, I can tell you one thing for sure - India is not going to win the Champions Trophy. Bet your house on it. As to how I arrived at those numbers the crap captaincy at Lords, Trent Bridge, and Melbourne coupled with crap batting and keeping throughout is enough.
Shunya Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 WC 2011...cant forget that moment...who knows when we will win the next one...
The Outsider Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 WC 2011...cant forget that moment...who knows when we will win the next one... Not as long as Dhoni is kaptaan because in his tenure we won't be playing another WC at home.
Ultimate_Game Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Not as long as Dhoni is kaptaan because in his tenure we won't be playing another WC at home. As if we were winning WC finals at home before Dhoni :giggle:
BeautifulGame Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Not as long as Dhoni is kaptaan because in his tenure we won't be playing another WC at home. We are certain to win the 2015 World Cup as long as Dhoni is captain

Like how we should bet on Dhawan and Vijay are test hack and Jadeja is a rubbish bowler or how Amit Mishra is a legend in the making . And u arrive at how we will perform in CT based on his performance in test series in England and Australia Did u get that software from china ?
Pagalpanti Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 No' date=' but 0-8 could have been 2-6 if we had a better kaptaan.

Now 2-4 doesn't sound too bad compared to 0-8, does it?[/quote'] Sure it does. 2 questions - Who was a better option? And how did India achieve 1-1 in SA (best result ever there) with the goal keeper who who cant bat away from home?
Pagalpanti Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Not as long as Dhoni is kaptaan because in his tenure we won't be playing another WC at home. Yeah because winning World cup at home is a piece of cake. Ask that to England who hosted it only 4 times (first 3 in a row) and still failed And yeah it would be fun to know your thesis on how India won the T20 World cup in SA? Since Dhoni is crap away? or was that just an anomaly?

Sooda Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Amit Mishra looked a class act when he bowled that match winning spell vs the Aussies all those years ago. I thought the series draw in SA was a great achievement, only just... and his unbeaten spell in series won/drawn...Test successes are superior to ODI ones, even WC wins. I voted for the No 1 ranking but in hindsight maybe those foundations were laid by Kumble.
rkt.india Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 if we say 10-1 then we have to say 10-5. Its just 8-0 its still pathetic but not 10-1. add 2 matches vs NZ and 2 vs WI at home, 1 match vs WI away too in the same period, so 10-10 in tests since WC.
saneindian Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 As I said in another thread, the 4-0 has left a good number of Indian fans bitterly disappointed.
adi B Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 india should have won 2-1 in saf but fattu dhoni and bhajji had other defensive ideas
