what that does have to do with rahane calling kohli through and changing his mind? that has nothing to do with "risk-taking", that's just an u13s-tier mistake.

He's saying Kohli has influenced the mentality of the team to the point they think these risky runs are worth it. where as in the past they wouldn't even consider going for it.

No but we live on beach and that’s basically washed away

 

[Spark]

The mindset of looking for quick singles when playing a 5 day game is inherently stupid.

eh, it definitely makes sense when you're actually batting. cricket, and especially bowling, is a rhythm game, and anything you can do to maintain your own rhythm by keeping a constant flow of runs and disrupt the bowler's rhythm is a good thing.

This is why Indian cricket can never become world class.

Intent is the lifeblood of cricket. You must be rock hard ****ed about everything you do.

yeah it's a good mentality and it's made them a pretty successful team

 

[Spikey]

should probably just walk straight to the hotel

 

[stephen]

Plumb as a pudding.

Rahane reviewing his career here.

 

[Burgey]

Stone dead

here it comes

 

[Gnske]

He should have tried to slap that for six, it would have been a more fitting end.

 

[Spark]

brain's gone to scrambled egg there

 

[Starfighter]

That review was almost as bad as the run out.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Rahane reviewed lest there was the slightest chance that he wouldn't have to now face Kohli in the dressing rooms.

 

[morgieb]

I don't get why Vihari told him to review it.

Ouch though.

Got sawn off by my captain last weekend when runs were coming easy enough so may be a little bias but i disagree. You can annoy the bowlers with safe singles

 

[Gob]

Hanuman wtf that man

Ouch though.

With 3 reviews an innings, people should be reviewing most rando shouts tbh.

 

[DriveClub]

This could be over quickly

 

[Spark]

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ugh, was looking like a very good day before the runout but Australia probably deserve this kind of score

 

[Gob]

This could go down hard
