express bowling Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Dhoni was known as a superb captain 2 yrs back. His performance overseas, in the last 2 years, is ruining his reputation beyond repair. Yet, he is picking players like Ishant , unfit Zak etc. What can be the reason ? It is difficult to believe that he cannot understand that these players are letting him down.
SLICKR392 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Pujara' date=' Rahane and Kohli (although he fields at slips only to spinners, he may be there at Gully?[/quote'] Kohli is the worst slip fielder in India. I would take Vijay over him. So is Pujara who dropped few, among which was the massive drop of Cook, where he went on to score 190 in the 3rd test, IIRC. Rahane is a good option there. They are still young. Slip fielding is way harder than they think. Probably they take it very lightly.
SLICKR392 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 When NZ bowl' date=' and esp when tailented-mr.RS, SD, and MV bat - the pitch will become green once again - magically.[/quote'] Why have a go at Vijay? Cut him some slack. Rohit and Dhawan are the ones who should be criticized.

SLICKR392 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Still maintain Ashwin is overall a better cricketer than jadeja Probably. But Jadeja is in a better form with the ball right now.

Raghav_12 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Am very happy with way I'm bowling at the moment, says Ishant Am very happy with way I'm bowling at the moment, says Ishant http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournament/india-in-new-zealand-2014/top-stories/Am-very-happy-with-way-Im-bowling-at-the-moment-says-Ishant/articleshow/29945754.cms "It is a big achievement for me to get 150 wickets in Tests. I think I have been bowling well," said Ishant Sharma. (AFP Photo). AUCKLAND: He might have been under the scanner for a while now due to poor form, but India's pacer Ishant Sharma, who on Thursday reached the milestone of 150 Test wickets, said he was happy with the way he has been bowling. Ishant took two for 62 on the opening day of the first Test match against New Zealand here, accounting for the wickets of Hamish Rutherford and Ross Taylor with the former becoming the 150th victim in his 54th Test for India. "It is a big achievement for me to get 150 wickets in Tests. I think I have been bowling well. I was bowling well in the Tests in South Africa too and I don't think I have to worry about my rhythm. The way I am bowling at the moment, I am very happy," said Ishant after the day's play. Despite Ishant and Zaheer Khan (2/98) taking two wickets each, New Zealand reached a position of strength as they finished the opening day on 329 for four, riding on centuries from skipper Brendon McCullum and Kane Williamson. New Zealand had a disastrous morning session where they lost three early wickets for just 30 runs on the board and Ishant claimed two of those scalps. "We bowled in the right areas throughout the day, but you have to give credit to the batsmen. They played really well. The wicket got better as the day progressed, particularly after lunch. On such wickets you need to be patient and keep bowling in the good areas. That is what we did," he said. "Our intensity didn't drop throughout the day. We did not let their run-rate go high at any point. It was always under control. Even as the wicket got flat and the ball got old, we kept bowling in the right areas. When the wicket goes flat, you have to be patient and see how to create pressure," Ishant added. New Zealand's cause was helped by four dropped catches, including those dropped by Shikhar Dhawan and Murali Vijay on either side of the lunch break. But Ishant played it down, saying that was part and parcel of the game. "Obviously, as a bowler you feel bad when catches are dropped off your bowling. But that is part and parcel of the game. You cannot control all these things. The only thing you can control is to keep bowling a consistent line and length. Getting the batsmen out is our job and that is what we are trying to do," Ishant explained. "They played some good shots. We bowled enough bouncers and they kept on playing the pull over the top of the keeper and the slip cordon. You can't control all this," he said. The medium-pacer has had a tough time recently when he was dropped from the final three ODIs of the five-match series, which the Men in Blue lost 0-4. "You have to know how to move on if you are a professional cricketer. Yes, we lost the ODIs and we felt bad that we lost but it is very important to move on. You have to keep up your mindset and hope to keep representing your country. You want to do well for your country and teammates, and that is the attempt always," Ishant signed off. :hatsoff::hatsoff: Very professional attitude indeed.
gaurav92 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 :hatsoff: :pantsoff: :chaddisoff: :lungisoff: Now plz :****off:
Malcolm Merlyn Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 He is arrogant.He thinks he knows everything and isnt willing to learn at all.I remember how Wasim was critical of him. Wasim asked him to start learning and bowling the slower leg cutter as the slower off cutter just falls in the arc of any RHB trying to swing it over the leg side.And he ignored that. This guy needs to be dropped for ever.Sala *******!!!!
GautiMaan Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I think its time for us too to move on from this damn team.
fineleg Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 He is dhobi's chela. And since m$d is srini's chela, in turn they all have arrogance
SLICKR392 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Both Sharmas think they are doing 'really' well. :((
fineleg Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 In india at jr levels Q: who's your daddy? (Or who does ur daddy know?) A: [....] Selected or not selected. (Esp u16)
Switchblade Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 What next now the two Sharma's along with Ashwin enjoying themselves and their game won't be surprised if M$D comes out and says he's enjoying his captaincy. Can't see the team progressing if they continue to live in denial
fineleg Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 ^ from tests - as a batsman-wk too He cant bat In odis - he is a very good bat
