Sujithmb13 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I felt Raina should have batted ahead of Dhoni.He may have got out but if he clicks he could accelerate quicker than Dhoni.

But one guy can only do so much, when rest of them are sabotaging with stupidity. You are a champ Virat Kohli - just in the wrong team. Players like Jadeja and Raina shouldn't be in the team.. beetle 1

This is true.I honestly believe that before the match they were thinking of 170 amd that it would be enough for windies lol,you can see that with rahane's statements as well.but virat understood mid way through his innings that this was a belter and he had to up his gears to another level ,which he did thankfully else we'd have struggled to reach 175 with dhoni at the other emd kosingh 1

All the WI players kept saying that India got 10 runs too few. But not one Indian said that. And idiot Rahane talking about the goal being 170, and then beaming with pride that that we were able to get 190.
asterix Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 It's difficult to digest that IPL has so many Indian big hitters and none could get chance to play due to nepotism... What can Kohli do if you have packed the team full of favorite losers... express bowling and Singh bling 2
The Realist Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 This current team does not deserve Kohli. They play cowardly and selfish cricket. At least half are not suitable for the format. A third are overweight and lacking fitness. Captain way past sell by date. And a cheerleader instead of a fully qualified coach.
Adi_91 Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 And I feel for Dhoni too. Had to endure with horrible bowlers all the time until the last few months when batsmen decided that they will let him down. Had one more hack supported Kohli and Dhoni, things could have been different.

To hit big, you need power and we are not built powerful bar exceptions and our players dont want to see the gym. Look at West Indies players, they are naturally strongers and they improve their strength by working hard in the gym. I dont see any of Rohit, Rahane, Raina has worked in the gym. Rohit is gifted, so he can hit a few, but if he had worked on his strength, he could have been even more dangerous. Raina can hack and cowlash a few but I dont consider him a big hitter. Rahane, what cna we say.

We had big hitters like Kapil Dev, Sandeep Patil, Kirti Azad, Atul Bedade in the past too. Guys like Kohli, Raina etc. are powerful hitters too. So was Tendulkar when he played.

This 115 SR in ODIs and 140 SR in T20s for lower-middle order batsmen is a new thing in international cricket and new age players are achieving this in the last 3 years. We need new age LOI batters.

I and Rkt were discussing about India's ability to produce big hitters who can hit sixes. I had pointed out those batsman who have done it in their heydays....not necessarily those who are doing it now. Regarding the current LOI team....we need new age big hitters with high SR in the lower-middle order.
