BeautifulGame Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 we won comfortably. That's what matters. Lol So now it's not about aggressiveness :hysterical: But then I am not even sure u actually watched the match
mishra Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Still unhappy with last game :mad:. We should have been up by 2-0.
HippoSucks Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 By no means was that a late declaration. Aggression doesn't mean randomly making early declarations just to appease fans that his mindset is different from Dhoni.
BeautifulGame Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 It wasn't a bad declaration at all. If you cant get them in 117 overs on a 5th day deteriorating SC pitch' date=' forget winning then. 4-5 overs wouldn't have made much of a difference.[/quote'] We were never going to get anywhere near the 117 overs remaining .Becoz of Mathews pathetic overrate , Bad light and the predicted thunderstorms at 2 pm .Most likely we would have got anywhere 80-90 overs
fineleg Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Why is it late declaration? He gave plenty of overs to bowlers to take 10 wickets, if 4.5 bowlers cannot take the 10 wickets in 100-110 overs (on day 5 pitch), problem is with the bowlers.
mishra Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 4 sessions for our bowlers to take 10 wicket is never late declaration. I was worried for our batters in second inning to gift their wicket to Lankans while trying to score at better rate. but they did ok
Vijy Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 We were never going to get anywhere near the 117 overs remaining .Becoz of Mathews pathetic overrate ' date=' Bad light and the predicted thunderstorms at 2 pm .Most likely we would have got anywhere 80-90 overs[/quote'] Precisely. Moreover, the lack of aggression was evident in the needless manner by which some of our bowlers and a clearly injured Saha were exposed to Bodyline bowling.
Vijy Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Has been a pretty entertaining series and a good beginning to his captaincy.
Shivaji bhonsle Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 Usual suspects are missing...lol
Anitha Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Yes declare after 300, 350, Lol. This was too close, the declaration was perfectly timed, you need at least that much cushion. We won by 100+ which is the perfect buffer
Number Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 In order to attack you need enough runs. You can't set attacking fields with 300 runs target, more so when a partnership gets going.
