coffee_rules Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Its baffling here' date=' that some posters here believed that India lost in Adelaide because India went for win. who went for win? Have you seen strike rates of pujara and Vijay?In 40s and 50s. These are pretty normal that doesn't suggest that they gone for win. It was kohli and only kohli who gone for win, with an unbelivable S/R. And except Kohli and Saha, others played normally.[/quote'] That's how a team goes about chasing. Not all goes to take the risk. Rest hold on and shut shop if things go bad. It was too late to go for the win with just the tail..
G_B_ Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 thats just the way he is you cant tame a lion to be a deer.
beetle Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I loved the way Kohli played.. it was never seen before counter attacking type of inning from an Indian player. However, I observed following things, which can be a distractor: He likes to stay in lime light all the time. And for that, he invites unnecessary fights and wasted energy.. On your face attitude is good at times but can go wrong if gone against the wrong player. Constantly looking at big screens to see how he looks He has ego which can create frictions in team.. I wonder how much of the unnecessary bravado is for the pleasure of a certain Sharma.
bulbul Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I wonder how much of the unnecessary bravado is for the pleasure of a certain Sharma. Ishanth or Rohit or Karn? :hmmmm2:
Aaku Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Kahan captain cool and kaha ye 'whats wrong with arrogance' :aetsch: separating men from boys :beee:
kosingh Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Time for Kohli to give up captaincy. Give it to Rahane
sensible-indian Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 My God. The first test instilled an incredible belief in our players and set the tone on how we would play this series. Everything is not what it looks on a scorecard.

vijay50 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Now is the right time to quickly marry Anushka and show his aggression.
Insidious Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 That's how a team goes about chasing. Not all goes to take the risk. Rest hold on and shut shop if things go bad. It was too late to go for the win with just the tail.. Every Body was playing for a draw. only kohli and saha was going for win, saha fall for his over-aggressiveness or brain fade. compare others S/R to kohli and saha and you could see the difference. As for kohli, he can't survive if he tried to play defensive. TBH there is no one in the team barring Vijay, who is remotely close to Dravid , when it comes to exhibiting great defensive technique.
vvvslaxman Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 It was good to see him going after the target.
game_changerr Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Is that you' date=' Mr Shastri?[/quote'] :cantstop:shastri was super pumped today(@interview),,,,commentary panel started running for cover:hysterical:
gakgupta Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 If we had played normally in the first test' date=' instead of going for the unattainable win, we would still have a live series going into the fourth test. That was big brain fart of a brave act from Kohli. Hope he learns.[/quote'] LOL....what he has given us in first test is ....PURE ENTERTAINMENT ..... and lot of respect from Ozzie players....If he had played defensively....we were certain to loose
gakgupta Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Now is the right time to quickly marry Anushka and show his aggression. Why.....u want 3 to 4 kohli's? That would make indian team lot more aggressive..... but who would make a captain
maniac Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 LOL....what he has given us in first test is ....PURE ENTERTAINMENT ..... and lot of respect from Ozzie players....If he had played defensively....we were certain to loose Agree.....Kohli is box office with the bat and his antics...only thing is he needs to improve his catching,otherwise never been this excited about a new era,since Saurav Ganguly when he took over after the match fixing fiasco.
Dazza11 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Taylor says Kohli is close to being banned for his aggression on the field. http://www.sportsfan.com.au/test-ban-close-for-on-field-antics-taylor/tabid/91/newsid/150900/default.aspx
G_B_ Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 too be fair to taylor ‘The last thing we want, the last thing the game wants, is to see people like Virat Kohli or David Warner or Mitchell Johnson – or anyone really – miss a game because they get carried away out there,’ said Taylor. its not as if he just singled out virat
Iconoclast Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 While Kohli might revel in such conflict it's probably a bad example for the rest of the team. As captain he needs to play a more moderate and supportive role for his players to look up to.
Debutant Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 And it starts all over again. One test and the whining has already began :facepalm:
