Precambrian Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 45 runs between them from 81 balls in a match when the RR was nearly 6.5 per over. Sucked the momentum and everything out of our innings today. Kohli's inability to get going at all, and Rahane's lack of match awareness (just needed to rotate strike to Dhoni as much as possible), meant that we were goners. I still don't understand the Rahane hype. The guy was a ****ing deer in headlights today, and the way he got out by lamely edging behind was :facepalm:.
zep1706 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Absolutely. Kohli played like an idiot and Rahane's inability to rotate the strike cost us dearly.
Lord Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Kohli and Shami.Too of our best players didnt show up
vvvslaxman Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 India needed a near perfect game , lot of luck to win. Considering many many things didn't go our way.. post mortem is an useless exercise methinks.

Considering many many things didn't go our way.. post mortem is an useless exercise methinks.[/quote'] India got the perfect start. They could not have asked for a better start IMO. They would have taken 76-1 after 13 overs any day. But the middle order lost the game from such a favorable position. So it is right to call them out. It does not change anything but somebody has to share the blame.
bulbul Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 You can add Raina as well,,,one short ball just steered that to keeper.
vvvslaxman Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Not really. India got the perfect start. They could not have asked for a better start. They would have taken 76-1 after 13 overs any day. But the middle order lost the game from such a favorable position. So it is right to call them out. 13 good overs out of a 50 overs won't give us the true picture.
zep1706 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 13 good overs out of a 50 overs won't give us the true picture. The point is the chase was going as per plan or even better till then. We lost the game in the next 10 overs. It is a failure of the middle order. The pitch played true till the end. We should have been able to at least get close with such a good start. So it is right to blame the middle order.
vijay50 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Also you forgot Lord Rohit Sharma. Dot dot dot dot 6 dot dot dot dot dot 1 dot dot dot.This guy never rotates strike tgereby the non striker stranded for long time without strike and gets out. Makes a century once every 8 matches against weak opposition and livescon it for years. Big momentum sucker.
Sid Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Rahane got praise from MSD in the press conference but he always gives the feeling he is not a ODI player,hitting countless number of balls straight to the fielders. He is brilliant test batsman,good T20 batsman and an ordinary ODI batsman.He shouldnt be in the ODI squads from now on but in reality he will be.

Middle order failure can be attributed to pathetic lower order. They just cannot afford to lose wickets. we can go round and round . At the end of the day many players did not turn up. OnlY Ashwin did okay. OUr fielding was okay. Dhawan lucked his way to 45. Other than that there was no bright spot in our performance.
Temujin Khaghan Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Also you forgot Lord Rohit Sharma. Dot dot dot dot 6 dot dot dot dot dot 1 dot dot dot.This guy never rotates strike tgereby the non striker stranded for long time without strike and gets out.

Temujin Khaghan Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 rahane should feck off from the odi team. there should be no compromise in that.
Number Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I think they will give Rahane a year more in ODIs to prove. If he still doesn't improve then he will be kicked out.
cartman Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Kohli needed to step up big time today, even a fluent run a ball 30 would've been nice. All of us fans are hard done by him. I just hope he learns from his mistakes. As for rahane, he's not quite ODI material. His stats speak for themselves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
vijay50 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Also how can you forget,that we cant play spin. Glenn Maxwell. 5 overs 18 runs . Enough said.
adi B Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 What happened to shami? His pace was seriously down today.
Number Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Also how can you forget' date='that we cant play spin. Glenn Maxwell. 5 overs 18 runs . Enough said.[/quote'] that was Rahane. Some 20 balls 8 runs against Maxwell.
govinda Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 rat underperfomed in such a importent match:facepalm: and rahane this guy should not anywhere near odi team
amiret Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Rohit + Rahane + Kohli + Raina = 86 off 140 balls (23 Overs @ 3.7 RR ) we allowed Maxwell to bowl 5 overs for just 18 runs and Hazelwood went for just 41 in his 10 . It was an EPIC CHOKE. They could also have rotated the strike and taken singles like MSD.
