G_B_ Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Rahane and Dhawan finally see off the new ball. We crumble. 250 would have been enough on this pitch. Get england to 66/5 there is a major 6th wicket partnership. I have noticed this in the test series. India from positions of strength just collapse. Its not a skill thing its a mental thing. These players are just too weak. I am dreading watching India in the WC. Our key players Kohli and MSD do not have the best of records in major tournaments. MSD especially has a poor record at major events with one good innings in the 2011 to show for it.
The Realist Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 The captain sets the mentality. Unfortunately Dhoni prefers to rest rather than play and training sessions are never intensive. This shows on the field with flabby players both mentally and physically. Also having a coach who is asleep most of the time after lunch does not help either. A new mentality will only emerge once a new capt & coach is in place.
ThePhenomenal1 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 India have the killer instinct but the captain does not Even raina defending 110 or something in bangladesh killed the bangla tigers even though they got wickets early.
Lord Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 India have the killer instinct but the captain does not Even raina defending 110 or something in bangladesh killed the bangla tigers even though they got wickets early. Lol there's a difference between Bangla and England.We defended 160 odd vs Pakis too in Kotla
MCGGG Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 MSD needs to go, India are not a happy team ATM! Something drastic has to happen before the WC anyway, India are a rabble at the moment.
G_B_ Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 So India crumble from 83/0 to 200/10 and the captain is to blame? I agree Dhoni sucked with his captaincy but some of our senior bats have to have charge. It was the same v Aus. 185/4 in the 35th over and we end up with 267

Face it, he's done, stick a a fork in him.
ThePhenomenal1 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Lol there's a difference between Bangla and England.We defended 160 odd vs Pakis too in Kotla Kohli in west indies tri series when they needed a bonus point and bhuvi got for 4 for 8 kohli 5-0 sri lanka and even 5-0 zim as an example of his determination and killer instinct.

SL,WI,Zim yeah good examples of killer instincts.Lets forget only difficult one Asia Cup:--D
fineleg Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I am dreading watching India in the WC. G_B, I said the similar a few days ago and you gave me some gyaan on "be positive". Told ya! Team Ind!
vvvslaxman Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 When you have Rayudu in the line up he screws us over at so many levels indirectly.
Old guy Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 G_B, I said the similar a few days ago and you gave me some gyaan on "be positive". Told ya! Team Ind! When have you not posted similar stuff ?:cantstop::icflove:
adi B Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 With guys like raydud,dhawan,nohit(that 130 odd won't bail him out of criticism) at the top and Binny,jadeja as hitters this team reeks mediocrity!! Talking about today,there was no doubt India missed a genuine third seamer and Dhoni should understand this now that he has to play with 4 seamers,bunny included. Thats the only way to succeed,we succeed in 2008 when we played with 4 pacers,thrashed in 2012 when played with 2 spinners in aus and now this time again
vvvslaxman Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Problem is not with the team. Problem with delusion fans like us. We are over-rating this team.
veer Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Once you have Kohli's inning, things will fall in places. Wait and watch.. We still have 3-4 games to practice..
bulbul Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Problem is not with the team. Problem with delusion fans like us. We are over-rating this team. WC not yet started :dontknow:
vvvslaxman Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 WC not yet started :dontknow: Don't worry we won't be battered there. We will have some easy pickings against minnows. From then fun begins.
ThePhenomenal1 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 SL' date='WI,Zim yeah good examples of killer instincts.Lets forget only difficult one Asia Cup:--D[/quote'] how was asia cup difficult? only other team was pak and that was a close game those games could have gone india's way had the catches and stumpings been taken. dont read too much into that. kohli is miles better than the dumb tactics we have now
