shortbread Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 And tests? Who picks the bowling unit? Captain corrupt! We have fast bowlers but picks Ishants, Oap Zak, Vinny, Mohit. But of course this is nothing to do with dhoni, he is innocent bystander And dont get me started on part timers obssession We were discussing ODIs. He's appalling in tests, especially when we are on the backfoot. Fully agree. Also I dont agree with the theory that our reserve bowling unit is filled with match-winners. But yes they cant do worse than the present brigade.
Straight Drive Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Not chokers, but they really can't play well in knockout matches .
thecricketer Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Think out of the box. Open the bowling with Aaron, he can rattle few nerves in the SL top order. Raina, Yuvi, Rohit and Kohli can contribute in case of emergency. Mohit surely is the weak link in this line up. Poor team selection.
Temujin Khaghan Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 dont we have one moron in the entire country who can bowl pace and bat well?
Marut Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 There was some element of choke yesterday, not the typical SA choke though - Steyn decided to have one of his worst days as a T20 bowler in a must win match. These are not mere coincidences for those who have watched SA in knockout matches since the early 90s. They always find a way to lose regardless of where the match is played, or whom they are playing against.
rkt.india Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Think out of the box. Open the bowling with Aaron' date=' he can rattle few nerves in the SL top order. Raina, Yuvi, Rohit and Kohli can contribute in case of emergency. Mohit surely is the weak link in this line up. Poor team selection.[/quote'] Mohit wasn't too slower than Shami, average pace at 85 mph yesterday.
blue_caps Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 will we see a special knock from Dhoni in the Finals ? A descent knock from Dhoni in T20 is long overdue .... what you guys think? Will we see a special innings from Dhoni in the finals... A repeat of 2011 Finals perhaps
deathmonger Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 The reason he doesn't have a 50 is because due to India's strong batting he hardly gets to bat. Will be same case here. If he gets to bat, it will be late in the innings.
game_changerr Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 nope ....his beast mode is off in t20's(international)
game_changerr Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 dont we have one moron in the entire country who can bowl pace and bat well? irfan was but guru greg ruined him:((
Unleashed Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 SA was just outplayed by a better team and certainly didnt choke. Their batsmen even played Indian spinners very well' date=' best effort among all teams that played against India. They used their feet against spinners, rotated strike brilliantly, put the bad ball away and put pressure on all the bowlers unlike other teams which struggled.[/quote'] Very good post. They were just outclassed by a better teams in these conditions.
beetle Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Shami...he will get wkts at the end which is vital to stop the mindless slogging.
Gunner Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Shami is a wicket-taker unlike Mohit. Also, didn't see Mohit moving the ball off the pitch in both games like he does in the IPL.
adi B Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 i hope the top order does the job b4 he gets to bat.lets see if he makes a bold move to come upthe order tomorrow if we chase a somewhat big total
T rex Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 To make the match interesting . Onesided matches are boring:winky:
adi B Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 i would play aaron tbh which would be a surprise pick.knowing dhoni he'll never pick aaron so might well play shami rather than mohit
Gunner Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 I still think we should play aaron. A gamble on pace worth taking. We have raina as cover. Not gonna happen knowing Dhoni the Defensive
Gunner Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 i would play aaron tbh which would be a surprise pick.knowing dhoni he'll never pick aaron so might well play shami rather than mohit Yeah, Dilshan was all at sea against Aaron in the warm-up, got hit on the body a few times
