Is it not encouraging to see that Dhoni is improving as a captain?

[virufan]

What a catch by Jadeja! The catch that Jadeja took off Shami was fantastic. Nobody is appreciating it. It was on his right side and for a left hander, it is a tough one. See how shoddy our slip fielding was other than this one. It was a saving grace that Sir was in the slip, where he is not generally positioned.

huh it was a dolly,easier than what he dropped

Make things happen with these set of bowlers ? you need a magician not a captain with these guys.

Yes please blame the bowlers. No bowlers in the world, not even Steyn does these 3 matches in a row. These same bowlers won you a match and drew another But lets blame rookie bowlers with hardly 20 match experience between them because that is the right thing to do Not a murmur about picking 4 bowlers on this track. Not a murmur about not selecting Ashwin on this wicket. Not a murmur about field placements and strategies of bowling one side of the wicket No sir, lets blame the easiest target, new rookie bowlers who are trying their best on a flat pitch

if the pitch is even more flatter , can we go with 6 bowlers ?? :hmmm:

At least watch the match.he bowled 22 ovrs by jadeja with negative fields and told him to bowl leg side almost all the time ,thats how u pick wkts? Now you'll say he has no choice because he just has 3 pacers,so why play just 3.5 bowlers on a flat pitch in the first instance?

See, this is what I speak about your being just a troll. You see the poster name and post non-nonsensical one liners. Instead of replying why 5 bowlers is not a good idea, you make a completely moronic point about 6 bowlers. Why not 10 bowlers? ou add absolutely no value to any discussion whatsoever

PS:- I dont like name calling , but i dont mind countering it.

they had seen some logic , that y they went with 4 bowlers .. IMO its quite a lame argument to say that going for 5 bowlers if the pitch is flat.. i am not disputing the 4 or 5 bowler theory .. i asked a simple question .. if pitch is really flat then can we go with 6 bowlers ? :cantstop:

no 6 bowlers will lead to under bowling of everyone while 5 will save bowlers from over bowling see in india ball spins from day one so spinners can bowl most overs so we are ok with 4 bowlers but here quick bowlers have to do 90 percent of bowling in first inning and if pitch is flat they wll mostly bowl over 100 overs very time or even 120 overs so that means each of them is bowling around 30 overs or even more and that is one inning and same will happen in second inning so 50 overs per game with 3 quicks and also they get tired quickly and lose effectiveness ..

that why we have a containing spinner .. he bowled 1/4th and we got part timers too..

still all quicks bowled over 30 overs and no other team in world today goes with just 3 quicks in outside sub continent even dhoni agreed with this strategy in first 2 games even though he did not bowl binny ..soluton was to replace binny with bowler who dhoni trusts ...but opposite happened :cantstop:
