G_B_ Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I guess the only reason i can think of is that Kohli is the only part timer in the Indian squad India who is not a spinner
msb1991 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I agree. If Kohli had a knack of picking up wickets like Raina, then I could understand. But he never picks up wickets. He only has 2 ODI wickets ever!
msb1991 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Dhoni is a great captain but his obsession with bowling Kohli is beyond comprehension.
King Tendulkar Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 ^ His obssession with part timers is beyond comprehension
msb1991 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Not sure about that. Raina picks up handy wickets and Yuvraj is a bit more than a part-timer and played a crucial role in winning the WC. I see the merit in bowling those two.
G_B_ Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 well considering that India will never truly have 5 very good bowlers. the odds that 2 out of 5 bowlers will have an off (or regular) day are high any Indian captain will be forced to rely on part timers. We all forget that Yuvi as the fifth bowler and even Raina did cover a lot of based in world cup 2011. The issue is Dhoni using Kohli when there are clearly better options of Raina and Yuvi at hand
Sandeep99 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 He is the most innocuous' date= weakest bowler I've seen. All he bowls are half trackers and wide deliveries at a spinner's pace. He is like a gift to batsmen. Yuvraj and Raina are a million times better than him. Its weird to see Dhoni doesnt learn from the fact that Kohli is not good enough even as a part timer at international level. Have you watched Ishant Sharma bowl?

The issue is Dhoni using Kohli when there are clearly better options of Raina and Yuvi at hand Probably to give him experience . If he gets it right will be far more effective than Raina in 2015
Executioner Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 kohli is worse Raina is quite a useful bowler. Dont know why dhoni didnt hand him the ball
Temujin Khaghan Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 becoz he wants to make kohli look stupid.
vijay50 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Will India ever win a ODI series against australia In India India did not win any ODI series against australia in India since 2003 or earlier. Most recent results 2003- 3-1 Australia 2007- 4-2 Australia 2009- 4-2 Australia India is not taking the ODIs with australia seriously. This is an one time opportunity to beat australia when they are unstable. Sigh...First ODI is already gone.
Pagalpanti Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Didn't we win the last one? despite it being just a 1 odi affair
rahulrulezz Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Didn't we win the last one? despite it being just a 1 odi affair
Lord Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 make turners and play 3 spinners just like we did in the Test series.play Mishra
G_B_ Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 quite frankly i really dont care if we ever do. Its a bit like the ranking in the odis of number 1. meaningless. I say make seaming wickets. It will prepare our batsman and bowlers for 2015. The losses will expose out weak areas and allow us to focus on them
Austin 3:!6 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Today's pitch clearly showed why we struggle overseas and might continue to do so in future :((
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 we might this time but there will be some shocks for us. we are a good ODI side but Australia too. They are a bit more aggressive than us.
