fineleg Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Why do they send Rahane at #1 - knowing fully well his limitations? There was a reason Rahane was not in playing 11 till now, so his limitations are well known to team mgmt. At around 7-10 overs mark, why did they not send a hit out or get out message? Very passive team management? Edited March 31, 2016 by fineleg sandeep and diehardpacer 2 Link to comment
WC2011INDIA Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 It's all a plan. Dhoni and Shastri don't like him at all, so now they can get rid of him from odis/t20s by putting the blame for this loss on his batting. tweaker and Rasgulla 1 1 Link to comment

If he kept Bumrah or Nehra to the end, it would have been over well before the 20th over. It was a good move to take the game till the end. Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment

You would have to plan in such a way ....from the beginning of the innings....so that a " less than part-time bowler " does not have to bowl the last crucial over. diehardpacer 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Rahane should have a badrinath very early. THat is the problem. He was protecting the wicket like he does in tests. It was frustrating and painful to watch him struggle to find gaps or bludgeon the ball. adi B 1 Link to comment

Stupid to send him, instead of Manish Pandey - to open innings. Shud have had Manish Pandey open, and Negi (2 overs to bowl) instead of Rahane. But MSD does weird things.

Under lights at Wankhede against these Kattaans India had no chance to defend just below par totals. Probably should have included Bhajji in place of Pandey or Pandya. Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Can't blame Dhoni too much on bowling lol They were thrashing every single one except Nehra upfront. Even if they bowl few dot balls it was invariably followed by 4 and 6. Link to comment
MK55 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 What was the logic behind Rahane's selection on this ground? And is it true that he said 165 was par?? Idiot needs to be thrown out just for that stupid comment. Regardless of there being no dew in the first innings, 210 was a minimum here. It was as if they were forced to include Rahane when Pandey was decided to be brought into the team. Why the hell do we persist with players with such chronic batting issues when we suddenly make these inexplicable decisions? 190 with just 2 wickets down and such few sixes on this ground is a big joke. Why was Jadeja bowled all 4 overs when he was having such a poor game. Ashwin could have gone for runs too but was more likely to take wickets on this pitch. But this wasn't the biggest blunder in this game. Link to comment
