Sid Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 From what I saw. It was just good tight bowling. The pressure and need to score got to him and he went for the 2003 WC Final Tendulkar shot. Haha first thing that came in my mind when he played that shot.
goose Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Kohli is getting a reputation for purple patches. Great players don't have purple patches.
div Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 4.5 Johnson to Kohli, no run, what drama! Kohli is almost at the other end and Vijay hans't moved! Kohli pushes it towards mid-off and takes off, there is no single there and Vijay doesn't move.. he has his back towards Kohli.. Warner does the fielding but his throw is poor.. It was wide at Haddin. Kohli would have gone. Big tension as everyone gets talking to Kohli...Everyone.. He is surrounded. Big miss from Australia. Kohli survives 20.6 Johnson to Kohli, 1 run, that was a sneaky run! Kohli pushes it to the left of Warner at cover and calls early but has to dive in to beat the throw at non-striker's. Warner misses the stumps Last over before tea. Lyon comes round the wicket 33.1 Lyon to Kohli, 1 run, shovels it from outside off to wide mid-on for a quick single. Then he charges down the other end after the throw is missed by the bowler.. Rahane wasn't moving. Kohli was in danger there.. The throw from point .. it it was direct.. or even if Lyon had collected it.. it was the end for Kohli. That's an easy run-out chance missed by Lyon 34.1 Harris to Kohli, OUT, he strikes first ball! Flicked straight into the hands of square leg. It was a gentle length delivery on the stumps, Kohli is not able to keep his flick down and lobs a gentle one for Mr Burns. Kohli cannot believe he has played that shot. Big big wicket and the complexion of the game changes completlely V Kohli c Burns b Harris 54 (134m 99b 7x4 0x6) SR: 54.54 http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-india-2014-15/engine/match/754741.html?innings=1;view=commentary Dhoni's last test match.
Sid_SuhaiL Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Wasnt really upto the mark in this WC , even against PAK Raina & Dhawan's inns. were better And blaming Anushka for his failures :facepalm:
vvvslaxman Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Wasnt really upto the mark in this WC , even against PAK Raina & Dhawan's inns. were better And blaming Anushka for his failures :facepalm: Exactly if he doesn't perform well blame him why his GF. Lot of guys come to office ticked off after a fight with wife.. we go around blaming their wives :cantstop:
Lord Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-india-2014-15/engine/match/754741.html?innings=1;view=commentary Dhoni's last test match. Whats your point?
vvvslaxman Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 come on guys.. This guy is coming back from an epic Test series in Australia . Off color. Deserves criticism. But he is the best we have. who do we want? Mombatti Rayudu?
adi B Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I beg to differ a bit. It's not only mental but technical. He simply reaches out to each and every delivery bowled on the 5th stump. He can either leave them or as someone else pointed out' date=' ride on top of the bounce for a cut if it's short enough.[/quote'] Yup.his off side play is relatively weak,he is too tentative and not sure to play or leave those deliveries on the 4th,5th stump early on in his innings.ian bishop explained this brilliantly in the wt20 last year
div Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Whats your point? was he deliberately trying to run himself out in that test match?did he deliberatey under perform in the KO matches?
vijay50 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 He was not mentally there. Not blaming Anushka. Just that he looked like he was in a different world. May be he had sex after long time:
vvvslaxman Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 May be he had sex after long time: :cantstop: Possible.. But Virat Kohli was not up for it today. Will go easy on him. He is our master of chasing. Him not coming to the party kind disappointed us a lot.
Autonomous Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 That's our thing...we don't blame umpires or fixing....:giggle: Nor do i. But blaming Anushka for this stuff is ridiculous
vijay50 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Nor do i. But blaming Anushka for this stuff is ridiculous Yeah, but for some people the women they are with bring bad luck. Not all though. Example: Harbhajan started dating Geeta Basra and from that moment on, just like his leg side darts, he was dumped from team forever and till now could not get back. I dont know whether he is still with Geeta Basra.
Lord Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 was he deliberately trying to run himself out in that test match?did he deliberatey under perform in the KO matches? :facepalm:
kubrickian Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Yup.his off side play is relatively weak' date='he is too tentative and not sure to play or leave those deliveries on the 4th,5th stump early on in his innings.ian bishop explained this brilliantly in the wt20 last year[/quote'] Too much nitpicking IMO. Any batsman will be vulnerable outside off stump when he goes out to bat because his feet will not be moving. When your feet are not moving, you wont really know where your off stump is and you will play at deliveries which you should be leaving and not coming forward to play certain shots will not enable you to play the shots well. Once you are set, you will be lot more comfortable. In England, Anderson got the better of him. If he has a weakness against outside off stump, he wouldnt have scored thousands of runs in ODIs and Tests as most bowlers would have got him out just by bowling in that channel which is not the case.
Autonomous Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Yeah, but for some people the women they are with bring bad luck. Not all though.

I dont know whether he is still with Geeta Basra. Kohli made tons against Aus when they were still together. I don't believe in this luck with women, However a good and devoted women can help you bring up mental aspect as in confidence and self belief. This Anushka bad luck story is epic fail and Logic less.

Cricketics Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Didn't click. Big deal. Move on guys. We lost, just be proud that that this team game us some fantastic moments like beating south africa and pakistan which were clearly two games we could have lost considering the way they were huge pressure games and the opposition were decent or good.
