rkt.india Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Only if we had a bowling coach to tell him that.. oh wait we do but the chewtiya does nothing but take our bowling to new lows after every series I have rarely seen his bouncers having any real effect on batsmen. His pace 138-140 with that short height is not quick enough to bowl them as he has to pitch them really short to get them up on slow and low bounce tracks. If he was taller, then it could have been a different thing.

Sometimes that just messes you up as you r trying too many things. Even Bhuvy. They keep changing field every 2-3 balls, sometimes even go around the wicket. Why don't they just stick to bowling in one place and let the pitch do the rest. Pakistani pacers did that excellently except Junaid. IIRC Gul didn't bowl a bouncer to Rohit after the one that went for 6.

Old guy Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 How did he do? Rotated bowlers better but field placing was nothing special should have attacked more at start
Laaloo Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Seems as if it's not only Dhoni who believes in Kohlis bowling
Insidious Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 One thing is sure Kohli loves genuinely fast bowler. whether its RCB or Indian team
express bowling Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Kohli has looked proactive as a captain today. Has picked genuine quicks and used them well. Good to see an Indian captain pick two of the fastest bowlers in India and back them too. The powerplay decision was interesting . Let's hope he can continue in this vein when he gets the chance. Easier said than done though.
zubinpepsi Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Virat's Captaincy I am really impressed... He backed his fast bowlers...took the PP in the 20s..also promoted Raina to No.3 Very refreshing compared to dhobi... I don't know if Virat's will be a successful captain. But his support for real fast bowlers is heartening to see..
zubinpepsi Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Oops dint see the other thread.. Maybe the mods can merge this thread
wanted_desi Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Dropped Jadu for Akshar Dhoni selects team based on seniority.
Lord Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Dropped Jadu for Akshar Dhoni selects team based on seniority. he said they rested him.Probably trying few guys.Ashwin didnt play the WI series too In the end,Jaddu-Ashwin will be our spinners anyway:giggle:
wanted_desi Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 he said they rested him.Probably trying few guys.Ashwin didnt play the WI series too In the end,Jaddu-Ashwin will be our spinners anyway:giggle: If Akshar keeps outperforming Ashwin and Jaddu, it will be difficult to drop him.
vvvslaxman Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 If Akshar keeps outperforming Ashwin and Jaddu' date=' it will be difficult to drop him.[/quote'] Ashwin should definitely be out . Jaddu atleast fields well. So it is a straight shootout between Axar and Jaddu. Jaddu on his day a bigger hitter than Axar. But Axar looks more a proper batsman with the ability of consolidation with proper cricket. In terms of bowling both are pretty much darters.

vvvslaxman Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 who'd be 2nd spinner if Ashwin is out :hmmm: 4 seamers and a spinner in Australia. Raina can do the same job.
Lord Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 4 seamers and a spinner in Australia. Raina can do the same job. We dont have seamer allrounder.Bhuvi at 8 would be risky. I'm not sure of Akshar's batting btw.seems copy of Jaddu:giggle:
