There we lost on a pitch on a pitch that had nothing for bowlers. That's what I said it was a small ground with dew ..... I have already quoted the 4s and 6s numbers a long time ago on different threads
beetle Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 WE won the series in Aus. We won the Asia Cup. We reached the semi Finals. We did better than what our team in current form really deserves. No need for Head banging and chest beating. No need for change of captaincy for now. Let Kohli play his good form without pressure.Let him get better in limited over cricket.Let us watch him this IPL. zen, bowl_out and sscomp32 2 1

broken_wings Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Hahahaaa....typical Indians. Yesterday you guys were praising Dhoni for giving Pandya last over against Bangladesh and now you guys are blaming him for this loss. The thing is your team was riding on luck and running out of luck today !!! beetle and Captain 2
maniac Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Playing the same stale team over and over, not trying anything to make things happen. please don't quote the bangla game that was a fluke thanks to those brainless mental midgets from Bangladesh.... As per Pandya he was trying for Yorkers in that over lol....just got lucky. we won the games because Kohli is the greatest chaser of all time else we would have struggled against Pak and aus had we batted first. stale captaincy, stubborn behavior and clear favoritism enough of this crap. indian test team is so much more refreshing than the LOI teams. anyways we beat Pak and gave bangla fans grief for an eternity.... That's enough I guess. but Dhoni has to go adi B and Rightarmfast 2

bulbul Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Problem is Dhoni got too much praise for Bangla win which is because its Bangla players..today same stage same score didn't worked because its different players... beetle 1

The thing is your team was riding on luck and running out of luck today !!! It is good to be lucky. WI was lucky too with the no balls. A wkts at the right time can turn a game, you never know .... Many of us have not been impressed with Dhoni's captaincy so. From the top 6 teams so far thread Link Quote 5. Ind Strengths: Kohli, home conditions Weaknesses: The 5th bowling option which could be exploited by quality teams (non-Asian which it could play in KOs). The guys who share the 5th bowler's overs have not batted well either creating a neither here nor there situation in both batting and bowling. There is no leg-spinner in the squad as well. Captaincy too has been pathetic (so far only ahead of Afridi's) Comments: It appears that the team may have already peaked so unless some of the others don't step up, along with if captaincy and selection does not improve, Ind could get KO by a quality team Link Also Quote In my book, if Ind is knocked out, it would be because of: a) Playing too many bits and pieces cricketers in the 11 (Yuvi, Raina and Pandya) who did not perform adequately in any department b) Ignoring specialists, who could have been more useful in helpful conditions c) Not playing 11 based on horses for courses d) Bad captaincy including overs allocation e) 15 member squad selection Edited March 31, 2016 by rett

Look around other forums, how Indians are abusing other players unnecessary when they lose game.
rkt.india Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 And dhoni comed up the order like he will score 10 ball 50. Thats ego that he has to come up wheb he can't hit. adi B 1
Sean Bradley Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 It was a master stoke to introduce kohli,who did pick up a wicket. It wasn't Dhoni who lost us the match, we were 30 runs short and Lendly Simmons was a cat with Nine lives today. beetle 1

broken_wings Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 The truth is, it was a bad captaincy from Dhoni during BD match and he did poorly in today's game too. Glad India lose today, otherwise Dhoni would have got praise for giving Kohli ball and he getting wicket. adi B 1
Rightarmfast Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I have said this before. Dhoni has become like a dictator and he has no respect for others. Even today in the presentation, he said it was actually a bad toss to lose. So if he knew toss would be a factor, why didnt he make the necessary changes? Why play hacks and not give genuine quicks a chance? This loss is totally dhonis responsibility n its time for him to be kicked out. adi B and express bowling 2
Yoda-esque Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 with a flat pitch, technique doesn't matter. WI has got the biggest hitters in the business.Game over...!
chewy Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I don't think there is much Dhoni could have done regarding bowling changes. Rahane slow poke innings didn't give India chance. Dew was too much, making Jadeja and Ashwin ineffective. Even when fielders diving on ground you could see water spraying off the grass. Irony is, this two would have been deadly on the slow Eden Garden pitch. Anyways lessons to learn for organisers next time, in T20, to give both teams even chances, things like dew factor need to be taken into account, either find method to remove it, or start earlier.
