no.issues but then no need to make big statements about personal milestones

This is actually a timely bump by Roshogulla viper who goes over board at times.

 

Kohli is living up to what he is saying. He of course doesn't have control of how every player plays with his bat in the team and approaches the ton, but he is leading from the front and wants to finish the job first than finishing the landmark ton.

 

I want my captain, boss to be like Kohli. We have the right leader, who puts country ahead every time.

Its not that others don't put country ahead when they think about milestone and slow down when approachin 100. Its not right to blame them fully and call them names when they slow down for ton, its just that it can kind of hurt the team down the line in reaching the actual total which they desire, but with Kohli's approach, one can always expect us to reach our desired total with run rate not dropping.

 

The right captain.

Twice in 2 tests we declared just after a batsman reached a personal milestone

this statement is just a hogwash

Who are those batsmen who slowed down? If you are saying Sachin he had one of the fastest conversions from 70s, 80s, 90s to 100s. Unless you want to point out couple of innings where he was really struggling for form. But yes, keep encouraging cheap trolls who just want to rile people up

No one is saying Sachin slows down etc wonder why you assume everything is for Sachin. You need to check that this is not  Viper who is posting.

 

Anyways back to answering you, slowing down is common among every player, modern or past. This is because in 90s players get nervous naturally. Every player does get nervous and you would see them looking to get quick single etc and take a sigh of relief when they reach triple figures.

You didn't comment on the fact that Kohli asked for extra overs to reach 100 in a game where we had very few overs to bowl out the opposition. If he makes big statements, he should back it up too

Kohli is much better at handling his image to outside world. Unlike his predecessors he is smart and knows which statements will make him look like more team players than others. 

 

Have to say he has hired good PR guy. Why he needs to back up his words? People will remember these statements and slowly build the image he is trying to do. No one will bother about few overs as long as it is not costing us a game.

Sometimes going for a personal milestones is okay. For eg this match. Its a dead match, what is wrong in scoring loads of runs and create records. We are still winning it in any case. While, the first test was definitely an example where he went for personal milestone against match situation.

So doing bakchodi and dialoguebaazi in media is something hypocritical. Should stay away from it. Typical filmy drama to cater to gullible people and create this false image for PR. Its similar to how politicians are, rhetoric while campaigning to fool people and then doing something opposite after elections.

Absolutely. And it's not a bad strategy. It allows him to be pressure free on the field too

That statement is a casual statement which basically means that we will not cost the team the game for personal milestone.

 

if in the previous game Kohli would have declared early, it would have cost is the match as there was a chance Lanka could have chased 200 in 2 sessions. Also I have seen enough Indian captains and most would have batted throigh out the day instead of declaring almost 2 sessions before and trying to make a game out of it when it should have been a draw.

 

I have seen many early shake hand during other captains. Here in the first test, India tried to make a game of it.

I wonder who he was referring to when he made that comment, someone from his own team or an ex-player?

[mancalledsting]

This is a recurrent problem in ICF- when someone makes a statement- it's taken in 10 different directions from the original meaning

You mean if Kohli had declared half an hour earlier then SL had genuine chance of scoring 100+ runs more?

It clearly a dig at earlier players and captains.

you didnt know that they will be 77/7 in advance. Cricket is not played on ifs and buts and hindsight is the best thing since sliced bread. Kohli scored 31 runs in last 10 balls. so, now check what the score was half an our before. it surely was way less than 200.
