Raina you stupid ****

Feeling for Rohit atm... Bloke was definitely trying to stay out there

 

[OverratedSanity]

So how long till Dhoni edges a full outswinger to slip? I say 3 balls

 

[Shri]

LOL. I hope Dhoni realises soon that Yuvraj and Raina can't be the long term solution fore #4 position.

Che Pujara at 4 seems nice atm.

Che Pujara at 4 seems nice atm.

I think he'd have to bat top three if he played, which would mean dropping Kohli or Sharma down to four. I still tend to think that's the best option moving forward given the World Cup is in Australia (I've said this for a while now), but it'd mean messing with something that was working well so I don't really see it happening.

Nah having a world class bat at 4 is better than having tailenders at 4 even if its not the best possible course of action. I would literally play a goat at 4 atm instead of Yuvi.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yep. This is what Dhoni needs to do in swinging conditions

 

[silentstriker]

Haha yuvraj....

 

[ankitj]

Dhoni playing for his average now

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dhoni 250 to win it imo

Nah ****. You said he will last 3 balls.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nah ****. You said he will last 3 balls.

Hell last 3 outswingers on off stump... Not 3 balls.
For one reason the bowlers haven't bowled one decent outswinger to him yet

 

[smash84]

catch dropped, a life for Dhoni

 

[JontyPanesar]

Screw Raina, loved Rohits approach in this innings and thought it would really serve him well in the tests. Raina just barbecued him. Wasn't pretty for Rohit but he was checking his shot and not taking undue risk aside from the one swipe he edged over slip off mclaren. Feet moving slowly wasn't great to see but he compensated for it well.

Kohli is the more intelligent odi cricketer but he can't bat like he did today in tests. The calculated risks of Odis (lots of uppish play) will not fly in tests.

Dhawan...I'm not going to say he has the same short ball problem from two years ago but that was dumb. On this pitch. Against Morkel. First ball. Stop twirling your moustache ffs. Learn to adjust to the bounce first.

Yuvraj...you won a World Cup for India, now retire. You succumbing to the short ball once again is just sad now

 

[Ray.]

India can't win in ODI's also away from home.

 

[OverratedSanity]

What. A. Throw

 

[kykweer.proteas]

I think they should charge people entrance fee just to see dale steyn.

 

[Shri]

Ashwin's got his.

 

[smash84]

hmmm.....while I do think that the indian batting is pretty decent but why doesn't the BCCI ever believe in acclimatising?

no, they prefer to schedule more short tours for more travel.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha Jadeja just assumed he was out when he nicked that.
