IMO as soon as you take out all the slips on a deck like this when the opp are still sub-200, you forfeit any right to complain about your bowlers.Dhoni surely trollling?
Some terrible pace bowling to be fair.
Yep, no confidence being shown in them either which doesn't help matters.Which they're doing exceptionally badly with a steady feed of leg stump trash. The field settings aren't exaclty helping them though.
Declaration bowling like.. need zaheer to have one of those out of the blue reverse swing spell or else the game is gone for indiaI'm an Aus fan but this is just disgraceful stuff.
It's got "hit me" written all over it.yeah ashwin, it's the ball that's the problem.
As an Indian fan this is infuriating stuff.... What the **** no slips..I'm an Aus fan but this is just disgraceful stuff.
You know who's trolling? The guys shouting 'catch it' when it's hit in the air.Dhoni surely trollling?

Definitely agree, but sometimes you've got to gain the captain's confidence by bowling more than three balls in a row in the same spot, which these guys aren't doing. Just to be clear though - I am definitely not defending Dhoni.Yep, no confidence being shown in them either which doesn't help matters.
Dhoni did this plenty of times in England, in fact things got waaaaay worse than this (declaration bowling wise). Happened whenever a large partnership formed.Declaration bowling like.. need zaheer to have one of those out of the blue reverse swing spell or else the game is gone for india
Well. He has a reasonable field for this over, and guess what, he's bowled a few decent balls.Definitely agree, but sometimes you've got to gain the captain's confidence by bowling more than three balls in a row in the same spot, which these guys aren't doing.

Worse, if that is actually possible.Assumed Ponting would be gone for his standard 60 when by the time I got home but obviously not. Assume India have been bowling and fielding like they did in England?
Yadav is rubbish.Who was it saying this was a good attack in the making for India?
Me thinks they were wrong anyway.
This has been pathetic today by the Indians, no other word for it.
