Shivaji bhonsle Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I know many fans got depressed and stopped watching test cricket(India) when Dhoni was captaining Indian team. Now he is gone and Virat taking over and going in with 5 regular bowlers, how many of you are willing to watch our team playing test cricket once again? I'm one of them. Mods. Please add poll. Thx..
Forever Indian Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I must admit I had been very annoyed with Dhoni's captaincy and team and nothing seems to have changed with Kohli's captaincy. But I still enjoyed test match cricket due to the new talent coming through like Vijay, Rahane, Rahul, etc...
kosingh Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I'm a sucker. I complain but continue watching no matter how wretched things are
gakgupta Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I m in I like aggressive captains in test matches and he is as good as one can get
Vijy Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 As idiotic as one can get, more like. If we do win this match, it will be in spite of the selections not because of them. Saha, Nohit, Aaron and arguably Ishant oughtn't be playing.
BeautifulGame Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 :hysterical: I am sure these great fans who gave up cricket becoz of Dhoni are queuing up next month to buy tickets for SA tests
Shivaji bhonsle Posted August 12, 2015 Author Posted August 12, 2015 :hysterical: I am sure these great fans who gave up cricket becoz of Dhoni are queuing up next month to buy tickets for SA tests yes, because kohli is our captain now. Yes, people would have still watched if dhoni s our captain, but I know lot of people got frustrated and stopped watching test cricket.

Sure Bhajji is ineffective now but soon he will be out and we will have another spinner and can attack more. The effect of 5 bowlers can be seen when good players of spin get in the zone and start playing long innings as well as on pitches that are flatter.

Nohit is a controversial selection, but every captain have their favorite player I guess and if Rohit starts performing, people wouldn't question him.

HippoSucks Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Why would someone stop watching test matches of a team they support just because of a captain they dislike in the first place?
Shivaji bhonsle Posted August 12, 2015 Author Posted August 12, 2015 Why would someone stop watching test matches of a team they support just because of a captain they dislike in the first place? because they stopped winning anything?
Debutant Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Nah, Tests are just boring. Does not matter who captains or who plays, they are just boring. Just see the scores in cricinfo twice or thrice, that's all. I may watch the highlights if something extraordinary happens
kosingh Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 because they stopped winning anything? I don't think there are many fair weather test fans for Indian test cricket.

kosingh Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Watching games in SL has always been hard and somewhat torturous.
Debutant Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 But saying that makes u a fake fan on ICF lol Like I care what fellow ICFers think about me :haha:
swatpulla Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I love Kohli's approach. India will play some exciting Test Cricket in future.
jusarrived Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 The ones who just love the game will always watch . The section which stopped watching and hoped we lost under Dhoni wer never fans to begin with and I bet they won't spare Virat for too long .

Ppl have stopped watching cricket...not because they hated teh country or hated Dhoni .....but purely because of negative tactics, negative mind frame and piss poor captaincy of Dhoni... It was like Congress rule It looked like Dhoni doesn't care of winning outside ASIA anymore..... Yeah!! we might not have a best pace attack.....But atleast we should give it a try
