we have seen a gr8 improvement. opening bowling is crap but there is fight and ashwin is looking good again. mishra bowled well. the problem was our runs, we had too few and didnt put enough pressure but this team looks better under kohli in the sense of fighting back and taking wickets. dk is criminal, should be replaced with uthappa as a backup wk rayudu played well rohit should be dropped, dont care if he scored a 50 he just doesnt have it in him to do well long term dhawan played a dumb shot but is a gr8 player
SkIndia is that you ? :blink:

All India needed to do was bowl a knee-high full toss to Afridi and he would go for his trademark slog and sky it straight up in the air. It's how he got out against us in the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 World Cup. I thought the bowlers would've known better.

He did not impress in nz ' date='sa even in champions trophy he was hit and miss.He has gone downhill and averages 35 + now.[/quote'] well i guess someone must have told him to bowl stump to line if he does not get swing i donno if it our coach or captain cool :mad: i feel he will find his swing in aus but one kumar is must for wc in aus praveen kumar did well in 2008 ,vinay kumar also did well in another cb series if we drop him vinay will get in

Kohli has done one thing.. Making a match of small totals with limited resources . With Dhoni when we defend totals you will have a feeling no total is safe.
its only SL and Pak though.SL without Dilshan.should have won but DK cost us both games :((

Dont understand how selectors picked a squad with no hitting power in the middle order. Rahane, Rayudu, Kartik, Pujara are accumulators. Where are the hitters that you need in SC conditions ?

nz first test nz second test auckland odi first nz odi sa first test even of the top of my head i can remember several games we should have won we are becoming like bangladesh,only capable of winning hearts not matches :((
Not winning any hearts currently.

Calm down guys it is only normal for Afridi to click once in 50 games,we were missing MSD and also had to contend with a wet ball. I'd try Pujara instead of Rahane,Rayudu looked like he belongs in this format thats a plus,and when MSD comes back,we can begin whipping Lungans and Pakis again.
With MSD in the team, we got whitewashed by NZ and lost to SA. It's irrelevant who is captain now. We are going through a losing streak and I wonder when it's gonna get over. What is the next ODI series after the T20 WC?

Just like winning is a habit, losing is also a habit. If you get into a losing streak, you will manage to do everything that's necessary to end up on losing side. That's what we've been seeing with this Indian side both in tests and ODIs. I feel West Indies side is also similar. They have the talent to be a top side but never manage to win games consistently.

Spinners and last over a doomed combination? Most often than most teams loose when spinners try to defend 10-15 runs.Jadeja in ct was an exception but what do u think bowling a spinner as even tail can slog them .

selectors messed up i agree but you could have had rayudu keep if u wanted him in, dk has nothing special anyway and has cost us. then binny did nothing but has a small sample size in matches so can argue either way. the approach was right has raina and yuvraj arent going to do squat in aus. but we should have had jadhav in the team
