adi B Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Dhoni's was the best knock at a far superior SR to Gambhir.Upped the SR when Gambhir was stuggling to keep of the pressure and carried India after Gambhir again had a Afridi-esque brainfart. At the end of 30th over the Req Run Rate was well above 6 an over with us still needing 125 runs. After that Gambhir scored 21 from 28 balls and Dhoni scored 79 from 58 balls. Didnt score a single fifty against test playing nation in the whole tournament 141 vs saf CT 2000,116 vs nzl 2000CT,183 vs sl 99 WC,116 vs eng 2002 CT,100 odd vs kenya when india were tottering at 24-3 11 ovrs..these are some great innings in ICC events accompanied by 7 tons in icc events,kindly have a look at how averagely dhoni has fared in icc eventz
JaFanatic Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 We were in a good position when he got out because of Dhoni's knock at a high SR.He scored crucial runs but way too slowly.As i mentioned earlier you can drool with his innings as much as you want but if not for gambhir we wouldn have come anywhere clse to the target At the end of 30th over the Req Run Rate was well above 6 an over with us still needing 125 runs. After that Gambhir scored 21 from 28 balls and Dhoni scored 79 from 58 balls. what are you trying to say here gambhir would have played at a sr of 50 if he played till the end ? i dont think so next time increse the font size too maybe someone would believe you :giggle: Yeah sure whatever floats ur boat :haha: ok dhoni with an avg of 30 who played the second fddle to gambo in the final is undoubtedly the better batter than ganguly now you can sleep well i hope :two_thumbs_up:
Lord Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 :hatsoff: That was tongue in cheek.Obviously MSD wins there but thats not what ODI's all about.Thats more of a T20 situation.In ODIs you may have to survive a spell by top bowler in helpful conditions.In such situations both SRT and Dravid are way ahead of MSD.
Crookbond Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Surely many would give MOT to gambhir's performance thats very questionable indeed eventhough ganguly didn score those tons in final it helped us reach the final wonder what msd did to get us to the finals in the whole tournament Who many - you, zakk and Raghav_12? :cantstop:
BeautifulGame Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 you can drool with his innings as much as you want but if not for gambhir we wouldn have come anywhere clse to the target And we wouldnt have won the match if not for Dhoni's knock. what are you trying to say here gambhir would have played at a sr of 50 if he played till the end ? i dont think so next time increse the font size too maybe someone would believe you :giggle: Yeah thats why he tried to up the SR and got out.:cantstop: ok dhoni with an avg of 30 who played the second fddle to gambo in the final is undoubtedly the better batter than ganguly now you can sleep well i hope :two_thumbs_up:
Sachin=GOD Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 And we wouldnt have won the match if not for Dhoni's knock. Yuvraj and Raina were still to come when Dhoni suddenly decided to come up the order. The team wasn't in any danger so you can't say that we wouldn't have won if not for Dhoni's knock.
BeautifulGame Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 141 vs saf CT 2000' date='116 vs nzl 2000CT,183 vs sl 99 WC,116 vs eng 2002 CT,100 odd vs kenya when india were tottering at 24-3 11 ovrs..these are some great innings in ICC events accompanied by 7 tons in icc events,kindly have a look at how averagely dhoni has fared in icc eventz[/quote'] Ganguly always had been terrific for us in big games for us all through his career.No denying that.Much better as a batsmen than anyone bar Sachin in ICC tournaments. My issue was with leading from the front in world cup.For me Dhoni had a better world cup in 2011 than Ganguly in 03 as both batsman and Captain.
JaFanatic Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Who many - you' date=' zakk and Raghav_12? :cantstop:[/quote'] :headshake: we had yuvi and raina in much better form its not like we had zak and munaf to follow him :cantstop: yea dhoni's second fiddle inn makes him better than ganguly with 7 tons at an avg 55 :phehehe:
BeautifulGame Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Yuvraj and Raina were still to come when Dhoni suddenly decided to come up the order. The team wasn't in any danger so you can't say that we wouldn't have won if not for Dhoni's knock. Needing more than run a ball in a world cup final for last 20 overs is being under danger.
JaFanatic Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Needing more than run a ball in a world cup final for last 20 overs is being under danger. scoring 120 odd ln last 20 overs even a jaddu and ashwin would have won us :phehehe:
Sachin=GOD Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Needing more than run a ball in a world cup final for last 20 overs is being under danger. Raina and Yuvraj were to come ahead of Dhoni and would have won the match with equal ease.
BeautifulGame Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 scoring 120 odd ln last 20 overs even a jaddu and ashwin would have won us :phehehe: Yeah sure as i said earlier whatever floats ur boat :haha:
JaFanatic Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Yeah sure as i said earlier whatever floats ur boat :haha: oh 120 odd in 20 overs is ungettable ? ok fine :two_thumbs_up:
BeautifulGame Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 oh 120 odd in 20 overs is ungettable ? ok fine :two_thumbs_up: Yeah sure in a world cup final:hysterical:
adi B Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Ganguly always had been terrific for us in big games for us all through his career.No denying that.Much better as a batsmen than anyone bar Sachin in ICC tournaments. My issue was with leading from the front in world cup.For me Dhoni had a better world cup in 2011 than Ganguly in 03 as both batsman and Captain. fair enough,but i believe ganguly led and batted better than dhoni in 2003 wc
JaFanatic Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Yeah sure in a world cup final:hysterical: with inform batters yet to come :agree:
Sachin=GOD Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Yeah sure in a world cup final:hysterical: its not that difficult considering that Yuvraj was in very good form and Raina, despite playing only a few games in the WC till then, had played crucial knocks and was also looking good.
JaFanatic Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 fair enough' date='but i believe ganguly led and batted better than dhoni in 2003 wc[/quote'] since dhoni played a second fiddle in the final he is much superior to dada according to BG :haha:
BeautifulGame Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 since dhoni played a second fiddle in the final he is much superior to dada according to BG :haha: Yeah sure Ashwin and Jadeja can score 120 with ease in a world cup final :hysterical:
JaFanatic Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Yeah sure Ashwin and Jadeja can score 120 with ease in a world cup final :hysterical: see you're saying the same thing over and over again i already agreed with you yes 120 in 20 overs with inform batters yet to come on a flat pitch against lanka is next to impossible :hysterical::hysterical:
