Another chance Lost ?

[thecricketer]

Spineless stuff from Mr. Cool captain. Thrown away another chance to win an away test. Poor tactics, bad bowling. India never deserve to play test cricket.

As long as India keep this moron as captain, this will keep repeating. It's like playing a bad movie on a loop.

Short ball tactics worked in the Lord's victory. I think they tried the same here too but back fired. What made the situation worse was unnecessary fight with Johnson which spiced him up big time. This game was completely in our pocket and we found a way to lose it now in a matter of 10 overs - WOW.

That was a fluke due to England's poor batting. None of those balls were particularly good. They got out playing pathetic shots.

Now watch Johnson tear apart Indian batting, ofcourse after the lead crosses 200.

Johnson gets into bowling form by batting well.

Yes India all out for 240 in the second innings, Aus Chase down 150 easily on the fifth day. Match over.

Dhoni ****ed us!

[Cricketics]

As much as you guys are pissed at Dhoni, you got to remember it is mainly our bowlers who bowled that shyt libe and length. Do not tell me that when Dhonibtells them to ball on off then they ball all on off side, they still some how keepbspraying on leg. It was just sheer shyt class bowling. I blame Dhoni just 5% for that short ball tactic. It was some serious shyt pathetic 3 hours of bowling from India.

Dhoni sets the field, Dhoni controls the tactics. He set field for short pitch bowling and asked the bowlers to bowl short pitch. Channel 9 commentators from ball 1 warned them of overdoing it. That is exactly what happened. 24 of the first 25 balls faced by MJ were short pitched, many of them 130 kph half trackers from Ishant. Yes the bowlers share some blame but the 95% of the blame goes to the idiot captain who time and again comes up with such tactics which defy logic and common sense. It was going so well, why did the mornn suddenly change tactics? This is not the first time he has let this happen and won't be the last time. He has no clue about test cricket and fast bowling. That is the basic problem.

[rkt.india]

Dhoni can at least take catches that come his way. He does even go for them until they are in his lap. It made 50 plus runs different to the actual total and those runs can decide win or loss in the end.
