No excuse please
by Dhanbir Singh on Feb 12, 2008 06:23 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

It is not the revised target or wet field but the slow batting by Rohit and Dhoni himself. It is not 50 over match and happy to see the run rate above six but only 29 over match which is noway different than 20-20. If there is no cut in the over and score even then Sri Lanka would have bated on same pattern. So dont blame any factor and better accept defeat.

Chal kat le...bheja hai kya bhajiya??

are you saying that 195 in 29 overs was not good enough?? dude, this is Australia and not SA or India....for targets to be huge!!

How many 300 plus scores do you see in 50 overs ODI in Australia?? very few!!

I agree with Mr. Singh....India must have posted more than 220 to have any chance..
195 in a rain cut match is always chaseable unless u take early wickets.

right mate. it was slow batting by dhoni and rohit which costed india. india should have made atleast 225 in 29 overs to make the match interesting.

These are just lame excuses by dhoni.
