Re: Cricket
Sloppyness cost us the test. Fielding was terrible when SA batted first - Dhawan’s drop at slip cost 30-40 runs. Then the batting in our first innings was so poor - batsmen poking at deliveries they could easily have left alone.
Re: Cricket
first innings, some wickets were thrown. hope they learn.
pujara getting out first ball after lunch with an ugly poke..expected better from him.
our successes have come from vijay and/or pujara staying in the wicket for long periods..if both of them fail, we will be shot out like this.
bowling has proven themselves..under pressure in second innings and we shot them out for 130..coming back after the 'let off' in first innings when SA scored 50 plus runs with the tail.
lot's of positives actually..won't write off this team yet.

Re: Cricket
Need to be little more aggressive, we were too defensive. BTW, please bring back Rahul and Rahane. Should have won this match, batting cost us, highly unusual for us.
Re: Cricket
i would say the opposite. it is usually the batting that costs us overseas. our bowlers then come under pressure because of poor batting and losing it as well.
it's logical right - our quicks usually perform better in pace friendly conditions while our batsmen don't click that well and have to adjust a lot..

Whats new?
IF
(Ball movement in air >= 1 mm
OR
Ball movement off wicket >= 1 mm
OR
Extra bounce >= 1 mm)
AND
Ball speed >= 135 kmph
THEN
Team India score < 200
This should be etched in stone every where until cricket lovers of India stop analyzing why the team fails overseas

Re: Cricket
Heart goes to every Indian pace unit that has tried its best overseas. The batsmen have always let them down
Re: Cricket
Has kohli lost his mind or what? Sticking with rohit ahead of rahane is shitty as it is. Now dropping bhuvaneshwar after his all round performance for ishant of all people

Re: Cricket
Parthiv patel has to be the most useless keeper ever. 16 years still can't catch simple catches.
Re: Cricket
Pleasantly surprised to see two young fast bowlers bowlers in the U-19 world cup.
"A clinical victory for India their first league game. India, after a stroke of luck in the form of a no-ball dismissal, got off to a great start and put on 180 for the first wicket. The openers missed out on hundreds, Shubman Gill scored a rapid 61 and it looked like India would make it to 350 easily. The Aussies, who were below average in the field with a plethora of dropped catches, pulled things back towards the end and restricted them to 328. The Aussie innings got off to a good start, but some tight lines by the Indians built run-rate pressure on them and they ended up losing wickets in a pack. The Indian pacers, consistently clocking in the 140s, outshone the Australians and took them by surprise. Overall, India was better in every department of the game and deservedly cruised to a comfortable victory in their opener against Australia."

K Nagarkoti to Baxter J Holt, 1 run, in the air and safe. Quick short delivery at 144kmph and Holt is rushed on the pull, off the top-edge and drops in front of the incoming fine leg fielder. Indian pacers hurrying Australians for speed is something that was unimaginable

K Nagarkoti to Jason Sangha, no run, 147kmph! Oh how Indian pacers have evolved through the years! Just a fraction short outside off, Sangha tried to get under it but missed it altogether
K Nagarkoti to Jason Sangha, no run, 146kmph! Ridiculous pace! Good length ball in the channel outside off, skidding on and seaming in a tad, Jason Sangha plays it late off the back foot right under his eyes. Pace and accuracy, both. This is very impressive
K Nagarkoti to Bryant, no run, good length ball just outside off, Bryant plays a transfer-of-weight drive to the man at cover. 145.3kmph! Imperious pace by these teenagers, who are barely old enough to receive their man of the match champagne bottles
Shivam Mavi to Bryant, no run, 144kmph! Just a fraction short outside off, and Bryant attempts to cut, it flies over him and even the leaping keeper just gets a mitt on it. Amazing pace!
Shivam Mavi to Xavier Bartlett, out Caught by Aryan Juyal!! Wow! This is brilliant exhibition of fast bowling. It is Mavi's turn to bounce batsmen out. 143kmph short delivery that climbs steeply onto the batsman, Bartlett is cramped for room and is nowhere close to playing the pull, still goes for it and only splices it back to the keeper, who takes the sitter. Xavier Bartlett c Aryan Juyal b Shivam Mavi 7(5) [4s-1]
Re: Cricket
Yep, this experiment has to be proven to be a failure once and for all. We have plenty of talent in the wings. So there is no point in continuing with Rohit. If Rahane is not up to mark, there is Iyer. And there is another tamil nadu fast bowling allrounder who could add more balance. He is a batting allrounder and averages 49 in Ranji. Surprising Kohli and the selectors continue with Rohit.
Re: Cricket
Forgot Malinga.
Height does have advantages, but with higher height comes high probability of lower back problems.
Also when you can hit 150 kmph, height disadvantage is negated. We all have seen how many batsmen Akhtar has floored by his bouncers.
