Cricket_Hacker Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 BIG PHAINTY COMING UP FOR INDIA :giggle: :antijinx: Link to comment
Crookbond Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Dhoni's lack of confidence in his bowlers may cost India dearly in this tournament Interesting statements from Dhoni in this World T20 on Mishra “The captain (Dhoni) always tells me that I should try to spin the ball as that is my strength. He tells me that I have the ability to beat the batsman in flight." http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/icc-world-twenty20-not-afraid-of-flighting-ball-because-i-think-about-wickets-says-amit-mishra/ "I think Amit Mishra bowled 70-75 per cent of what he can bowl. He will get a lot of confidence from his performance and I think he will do even better later," said Dhoni. "We will have to decide on team combination based on how much dew is there. Today there was a lot of dew even before the start of match. So we included an extra spinner," Dhoni said after the match. http://www.newindianexpress.com/cricket/news/Mishra-Will-Bowl-Even-Better-Dhoni/2014/03/21/article2122676.ece#.Uy5-3twxFSU Dhoni thinks that Mishra can bowl even better (What?!!! :omg:) and he will include a spinner "IF" there is a dew; not if there is no dew. This is a bit strange and I haven't heard about this before from anyone else. Dew makes it difficult to grip the bowl but Dhoni thinks that it will help the spinners or rather he feels his spinners will do better than fast bowlers when there is dew. Next, Dhoni should think about using his part-timers a bit more. Over use is a strict no-no. In the previous, World T20 vs SA the Rohit Sharma over against Faf Du Plessis was eventually the knock out blow for India to the SF. SA were 50/3 in the 7th over and Rohit conceded 13 of the over. Considering we were defending 122 (and not 151) in a low scoring game this was a BIG over. We eventually won the game by 1 run but couldn't qualify on NRR. Dhoni lacks confidence in fast bowlers and I think inclusion of Varun Aaron would be good. The problem is that Aaron's bad days are really "bad" and might prove an issue for India. Dhoni needs to really think about these things if India need to go past the post in this tournament. http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2012/engine/match/533295.html?innings=2;page=1;view=commentary Link to comment

Cricket_Hacker Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 dhoni has been known to do some crazy stuff....remember than field placement in NZ? Link to comment
asterix Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Dhoni is just trying to protect Fatwin from any competition... he's keeping the pressure on Mishra... Link to comment
Crookbond Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Lighting was heavy behind the sight screen.. But D/L Method shouldn't be used for T20 It ends up actually being approx. close to the run rate Link to comment
Magneto Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Shameless mercenaries vs. match fixers Hope the game will get washed out,the scorers would make an error and both these crap teams end up with 0 points ... You make it sound as if Sri Lanka is playing Sri Lanka. Almost all the shameless SL mercenaries got rejected :hehe: in this year's IPL auction, but they'll again put themselves up for sale in the next given opportunity :haha: And the SL fans themselves claim all the time that the SL players fix all their matches and lose intentionally. Whadda team! :clap: :clap: Link to comment

rkt.india Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Agree about Aaron's bad days can be really bad as seen in IPL 2012, played 8 matches 5 were decent to good but 3 were really bad. Link to comment
CG Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 If there is extra dew u do not include a spinner it more difficult for a spinner .India pak match there was less dew due to cloud cover. Link to comment

G_B_ Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Pakistan v Australia From Dhaka interesting to see how Hogg gets on. Wrist spinners have down well so far. Mishra, Tahir etc Have to say through, the aussie bowling attack in general of Christian, Watson, Nile, Starc, Maxwell and Hogg. Just does not have the X factor without Johnson and Faulkner. Dan Christian is a disaster waiting to happen lol. The batting is just awesome. Everybody can bat. Link to comment
Switchblade Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I have said it before the only weak link in the Aussie side is their bowling they have an awesome batting line up but their bowling might cost them.Also very interested to see if their is turn how the Aussie batsman fare. Link to comment
NareshK Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I think both Hogg and Muirhead should play. Starc, Nile, Watson, Maxwell should be the other bowlers. Dan Christian wont be effective on these tracks. He bowls too short and used to be hit around in IPL as well. Link to comment
