Poor coaching during the final stages...
by Nikhil Shah on Nov 28, 2011 01:51 AM  | Hide replies

The Indian coaches failed to instruct rookies like Varun and Ashwin the rules of the game. Varun was suppose to rotate the strike to Ashwin and just take singles, but the opposite was hapenning.

This is an experience they had to go through. We hope Kohli, Ashwin and Varun can learn from it.

dismissal happens, it happens only in wrong time, raukalam;

There is no right time to dismiss anyone,
esp. if its your own team.

INDIAN MIDDLE ORDER CLICKING WILL BE THE KEY IN AUSTRALIA
by damodaran mohan on Nov 27, 2011 05:11 PM  | Hide replies

India clinches the series 2-0 and not a clean sweep 3-0 due to the middle order collapse yet again. In fact India should have won it comfortably by at least 4 wickets. India’s positives came mostly from the young bowlers with both the spinners excelled taking 42 wickets with R Ashwin getting the man of the series award on his debut.The young pacers ,U Yadav and V Aron show a lot of promise too.Ishant was also at his bowling best on the slow pitches albeit a bit unlucky. The young bowling including P Kumar looks quite promising even w/o Zaheer to exploit the bouncy tracks there. Efforts at inclusion of an uncertain Zaheer will only create confusion and a hindrance towards building a young Indian pace attack for future. But can this Indian side with a mix of experience and youth stand up to the Aus challenge ?Sachin and Laxman are looking tentative and the negative vibes of expectations of Sachin’s hundredth hundred will only make things more difficult.Dravid,Kohli and Dhoni can be expected to do well however the opening pair of Sehwag and Gambhir will have to do much better than what was seen in the WI series at home. In fact once Sehwag gets out even after giving a flying start the middle order looks to struggle and the complexion of the game changes completely. Thus in Aus the ultimate result will to a great extent will depend upon how well the middle order handles such pressure situation. Further, Gambhir will have to convert 50s into big score.In th

Ashwin -- the Best in this Series
by george thomas on Nov 27, 2011 12:50 PM  | Hide replies

Ashwin played as a Bowler ..

We have seven (7) batsmen ! !

Yet, only Ashwin got a century
and that too, best strike-rate.

Ashwin got M-o-M ..

Ashwin got Player of the Series award ..

ALL the other players have to show more responsibility and try to equal Ashwin.

Every series comes with different individual best performances.
Ashwin may not shine in Australia and Umesh Yadav can....It's a team game...it does not mean that other's are irresponsible

I saw the last few overs yesterday. I couldnt understand what Ashwin did last 2 deliveries. He defended the penultimate ball and then hit the last ball and ran. He didnt even run fast and when he reached the other end, he was looking at the fielder and hesitated for a moment and then ran. The other guy was almost at the half pitch. He didnt even try to run the second. If he had got out while trying, very few would have blamed him, in fact he would been appreciated for tryn to win the match.. But he didnt even try. Thats what I am trying to stress here.
Now he is trying to blame the curator for pitch. Frankly the pitch was good. Indian pitches are always help batters initial 2-3 days and then start turning. and bombay pitch was also the same. Also this pitch always has been sportive.

Ajay, i guess we would have lost the match if he had been dismissed of the penultimate ball and Ojha of the last ball .. he wanted to play it safe i guess. His remarks about the pitch curator were made at the end of first or second day .. much before all the drama!

yes we might have lost the match, but what was the loss anyway, bcoz we had won the series already, there was a chance of 3-0 whitewash.

why do you want Sachin to do everything? What are the others doing? :) We reached the finals in many instances primarily due to Sachin's efforts. It is complete hogwash that India succeeds when Sachin fails!

Hold on buddies out of these 13 finals,Sachin only succeeded in 5 finals,rest were mainly due to other useless team members.Now god cannot win 50 % of 36 and not even 50%of 13.Cant understand u guys logic when he fails its Team members responsibility,When he scores he is god.So when other useless Team members scores why they r not god too????

When Sachin failed to score even a half century in the finals, India lost 14 times. FYI, he has played only 1 T20 managing just 10 runs. Wayback in 2007, he opted out of T20s because he felt it was a "fast-game suitable for young blood" and not for people in the 30s.

Silver Mani, as usual ur stats are misleading, Sachin has 50 scores 11 times out of 17 finals won by India.

Just find Sachin's stats for 0~49 in all finals which India won, you will be disappointed to see just 6 innings :). That includes WC final, Natwest 02 etc.

You learn to play cricket first...don't think you are like Mike Brearley..those were old times when astute captaincy will win matches..sick of seeing your helicopter shots...why are you not moving your feet as if you have a cement container between your legs...you have the sickest technique that I have ever seen and you don't have respect for your senior players..It was clear in the tests in england when Dravid mentioned something to you standing in slips and you don't even seem to bother about it...What goes up, will definitely come down...better be polite and change your batting technique..else you will be a sitting duck in Australia
