vvvslaxman Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 "I donl;t think we payed good cricket. We played the fast bowlers wlel,Moeen bowled well, but we let him bowl well," says MS Dhoni. He bowled good lines and one ball will turn, there is some wear on the wicket and we should have been more positive. There were quite a few soft dismissals, the phase where Jinx got out and a couple of other wickets that fell. The last session yesterday we lost too many wickets. We could have looked at the Test today a different way without that. The reason for using four bowlers i is the we never used the fifth. We just used him for 10 and 8 overs. With Shikhar and Vijay and Rohit around we thought we could do it. But it's the bowling we need to improve and hit the top of off stump. We will have to think about the four-bowler strategy. We can say the extra batsman didn't score, but then again the extra bowler didit pick up wickets. So we have to discuss a lot and decide on the basis of the pitch. Ishant won't be fit for the next game, Pankaj bowled really well, tall guy bowled good lengths. In this pitch he bowled the right length. Could have got three wickets but it just didn't go his way. Shami and Bhuvi bowled well too, they dont hit the deck hard when they not normally do. When it comes ot talent, we are good. In the mental approach, we have to play out shots and back ourselves because cricket is about runs and wickets" :hatsoff: his post match interview deserves a thread
CSK Fan Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Cricket is about batting and bowling (with a bit of fielding)
zep1706 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 It is about playing defensively, bowling a negative line and giving one over spells to your bowlers for 17 overs.
vvvslaxman Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 cricinfo is not publishing anti Dhoni posts lol
vijay50 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Cricket is about your lover boys Ishant, Jaddu and Rohit.
Laaloo Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Cricket is about see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
beetle Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Cricket is always about putting the blame on bowlers while your batsmen do shi#.
ThePhenomenal1 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Ok its about runs and wickets... Rohit sharma's overseas runs? Non existant, not worth talking about. Yet you picked him! Its about wickets? Then why go a bowler short when your main wicket taker ishant was missing? Surely you needed another bowler to compensate for those wickets? Its about 20 wickets right? How many runs has ashwin scored overseas compared to rohit? I think ashwin did well overseas yet rohit picked! Why pick shami when he hasn't picked many wickets in the first 2 tests? Its about wickets right? How many runs did dhawan score? Yet he has opened in 3 tests! Its about runs right? Wouldnt GG be a better option since he played county and is ready to go? Hmmm...
vvvslaxman Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Cricket is always about putting the blame on bowlers while your batsmen do shi#. Exactly whole team selection pointed towards that But it's the bowling we need to improve and hit the top of off stump :cantstop:
