Shivaji bhonsle Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I know I will be hated for saying this. Why did he bowl part timer (himself) in the 40 th over? Imran Tahir bowled a tight 13th over and got a wicket, but Devilliers took him off from the attack from the next over. Not only this match, but throughout the tournament, his choice of bowlers reminded me of Dhoni. The only reason why Dhoni seems successful in this tournament because he is using 5 regular bowlers. Although Raina bowls a few, Dhoni some how got away with it. I remember Raina bowling in the 13th over against Pakistan, I was thinking, here we go again. Lol. Fortunately, he took him off from the bowling attack and continued with the regular bowlers. The no. 1 reason why we are successful in this tournament so far is because of 5 regular bowlers. Devilliers should have gone with 5 regular bowlers yesterday. Terrible captaincy. Absolutely reminded me of good old Dhoni.
BeautifulGame Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 So not missing the Anderson run out Elliot run out thrice or dropping a sitter in 42nd over didnt cost them?

gattaca Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 He should have bowled spin for mccullum. Bangbros tried it and it worked. He isnt that strong against spin. you shouldn't just give pace for this guy.Easy 50 and movement vested there. Their was no pressure after that.
Cricketics Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Indian parttimers lke Raina have bowled enough by now to be used for more than 5 overs. This is where they missed the trick. Also, AB should have played Abbott ahead of Philander since Abott was already bowling well in the tournament after he replaced the injured Philander earlier in the tournament. Also removing Tahir after he had bowled maiden over was bad move. Ross Taylor went on to make 30 odd and was involved in p'ship with Guptil and and Eliott. Even though he scored 30, but he might have just fallen to Tahir had Tahir not been removed. Saf did make lot of mistakes.

When he is in the zone not many pacers can stop him except may be left arm inswinging bowlers. Tahir could have been tried. Also after Baz was out they should have persisted with Tahir for 5 overs like Baz did with Boult.
keith Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 He should have bowled spin for mccullum. Bangbros tried it and it worked. He isnt that strong against spin. you shouldn't just give pace for this guy.Easy 50 and movement vested there. Their was no pressure after that. He did. And McCullum got out the very next over because of it. There was nothing AB could have done. They were beaten by a better all round team, with a better composition.

Anyone remember Shoaib Malik's century in the 2009-10 champions trophy? Virat kohli bowling dollys after dollys and Shoaib Malik kept smashing him for runs. What about the world cup final when Virat kohli was asked to bowl and everyone was looking at each other wondering what's happening when he got smashed by jaya. What about the 1st t 20 match we played against Pakistan at home in 2012? Do you guys remember after bhuvi got the important wickets, Dhoni got Yuvi bowling and Shoaib Malik smashed him for sixers to release all the pressure ? I can go on, keep giving examples, lol. Lets leave it there.
addicted4444 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 You are right that ABDV and SA Got too negative. Taking Tahir out after 1 over when he precipitated the wickets was ridiculously defensive. Taking Morkel out after taking wickets was silly. Calling it Dhoni like is beyond stupid. Even when Dhoni brings in part timers he tries to take wickets with them by placing reasonably aggressive fields which encourage batsmen to take risks. It's quite incredible how many wickets under Dhoni's captaincy have been taken by part-timers. This isn't what AB did. Their part timers were happily giving the single away. Dhoni may be the greatest current ODI captain and easily top 5 in ODIs all time. Comparing him to ABDV, who is at best an ordinary captain is ridiculous.

Yoda-esque Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Arre, let us lose today at least before starting with your BD-esque whines
zubinpepsi Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Guys, we will get enough chances to bash Dhoni tomorrow.. lets wait for the semifinal loss.. then we can all happily bash him.. now peaceout..
coffee_rules Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Arre' date=' let us lose today at least before starting with your BD-esque whines[/quote'] BD has totally taken over Sangakarra in the whinging dept. Whingladesh:haha:
Marut Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 After that explosive start by Mac, SA should have tried to bowl out the Kiwis. Baz had given them such a good start that SA could not hope to win by containing the runs. AB tactics was poor after the fall of two quick wickets. Bringing in Duminy to bowl took away the pressure and enabled NZ to maintain healthy runrate throughout the game.
Sid Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Saalon 1-2 games reh gayi hain sehlo kaptaani ,fir yaad karoge jab chorh dega kaptaani

Lets leave it there. Virat Kohli bowled a grand total of 1 over and he got "smashed" by 6 runs. Meanwhile, Sreesanth bowled 8 overs and went for 52 - Zaheer went for 60 in 10 eventually. You might have to look into the dictionary for what "smashed" means. Let me help you - Kulasakera was smashed by India in the same final. His figures read 8.2-0-64-0 in the end, might help.
Vijy Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 More than the captaincy, it was the fielding that let SA down...
