maniac Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 :hatsoff: Really impressed today....when India got to the total of 240 odd I thought the game was over then and there.....When Pak openers got to a flying start thought it will be a cake walk for them but tremendous presence and brilliant rotation of the bowlers. No unnecessary gimmicks of trying substandard part-timers to bring the opposition back into the game Also not a fan of spinner bowling the last over usually but in this circumstance it was the right choice to bowl Ashwin,too bad it didn't pay off....Also no blame on Ashwin today. Anyway a great game of cricket
Lord Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 overall good but made some silly mistakes too.should have crowded Junaid in last over
Cricket_Hacker Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 :hatsoff: bring back dhoni as wk :orderorder:
zep1706 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I am impressed. He is passionate, backs his bowlers and not over defensive. Good signs for India.
SLICKR392 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Did really well under pressure. Liked it how he managed the bowlers. Few crucial mistakes, yes.
zep1706 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Having said that Dhoni the player is irreplaceable in ODI cricket.
maniac Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 overall good but made some silly mistakes too.should have crowded Junaid in last over You have to be the right amount of attacking in that situation.....Afridi could have clearly been caught at the long on---Aaj Tukka lag gaya but credit where due to him played well even before that to get them there. I think it was nearly perfect captaincy today

Pagalpanti Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 He may not be finished article yet but the potential he's shown.. :hatsoff: Absorb these few losses as Indian fans but the future looks bright, very bright. Somehow I see him managing INdia's fast bowling resources a lot better..
zep1706 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 he was very defensive today...which match were you watching? He was ok for mine. I watched the last 15-16 overs of the Pakistani innings. Couldn't have done many things differently.

I think it was nearly perfect captaincy today tukke ka chance hi kyo lena.its not the first time hes done it too.Junaid trying to hit would have been better for us
NareshK Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 We generally do well when spinners bowl well, irrespective of the captain. When we had good ODI batsmen like Yuvi, Raina, Dhoni, Sachin, Sehwag etc. we put up big totals. With lack of hitting power in the middle order now, we put up below par score totals in games against SL and Pak, hence we couldn't defend it. In NZ too, we could have chased some of the totals if the middle order fired.
SLICKR392 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Would have been good to have fielders around Junaid. With 1 wicket to go, either he would have played a shot or tried to gofor a risky run. Good move to use Bhuvan in PPs.
King Tendulkar Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Come on guys admit it Would it not be exciting to have a new start with Kohli as skipper. A clean slate, a new era, a new fresh way of doing things Would be fun:cantstop:
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 He was ok for mine. I watched the last 15-16 overs of the Pakistani innings. Couldn't have done many things differently. thats where he lost it..should have watched it from 25th and then tell me if the captaincy was fine..he just went with the idea of taking it to the 50th over after 30th...very poor thought..
King Tendulkar Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Plus love his emotions A roller coaster ride. Pure comedy at times:hysterical:
