[classic]

[Fire Bird]

Play a little shot you hacks. I dont know which game is more boring this one or the SA v Aus

 

[London_Lahori]

Why didn't Sharma open?

atleast S.African batsmen has a match to save but these two has made the boring match more boring

 

[cricket geek]

only 3 boundries in 12 overs

 

[Sandeep]

Too much insecurity in these two! Irritating to watch Indian batsmen like that.. :sehwag

 

[ekpakistani]

this match is so boring .... switched to SA vs AUS test match

i am not getting it what are they trying to do out there by this tuk tuk approach

 

[Sandeep]

As if the gameplay was not bland enough, Arun Lal says "Afghanistan now need a wicket" )

 

[Sandeep]

If Indian batsmen can't attack the Afghan bowlers, they can't attack any bloody team on this planet.

Maybe we are playing for a draw too. The pitch must be a minefield

 

[Sandeep]

Send Dinesh Karthik in next and Rayudu at 4. Enough of at 3. I'm bored

Arun Lal is the most clueless commentator in the world. Wonder how he gets these commentary gigs

 

[cricket geek]

in s.african innings they have scored 18 boundries in 100 overs trying to save a match and here they have scored only 3 boundries in 15 overs

The guy needs to be deported to some sub-Saharan African nation. I can't tolerate him anymore. Ah, take this Russel Arnold too. I'm having blood in my ears

 

[London_Lahori]

Average building exercise going on out there in the middle.

 

[London_Lahori]

I'm begging for someone to get out so my Captain can come in, and you're suggesting he shouldn't come in at all

lol

 

[Sandeep]

Kohli is not padded up! Some good news! phew..

 

[Sandeep]

I'm begging for someone to get out so my Captain can come in, and you're suggesting he shouldn't come in at all

lol

We're too dependent on Kohli and hence I want other players to get a chance to take some responsibility off his shoulders

 

[cricket geek]

i think its not about they can attabk or not its just that they dont want to attack.

 

[Sandeep]

What a bad PJ by Arun Lal! "It's not related to blood pressure"

Somebody kill him..

 

[cricket geek]

4 boundries in 18 overs

 

[Sandeep]

Rahane never impresses me! Very soft for a batsman!

 

[Fire Bird]

Send Dinesh Karthik in next and Rayudu at 4. Enough of at 3. I'm bored

Send Shami in at 3. Wont last long but will clock a couple of big ones into the stands

 

[amirsami]

Sooo boring...switched to watching paint dry.

rahane has just scored back to babk boundries

 

[Sandeep]

47* against Afghanistan, chasing 160 on a flat pitch and Arun Lal goes full retard and starts his bhajan. Grown up Arun Lal

 

[cricket geek]

half century for both the openers

 

[Moosa]

Rahane should have opened in all the games

 

[Fire Bird]

Rahane FFS take the powerplay and finish it off already

 

[Aman]

What an awful match...

 

[cricket geek]

rahane gone

 

[Adil_94]

Indians should have played this like a T20 give their fans some excitement you were going to win anyway this is just dragging the game on

Not surprised, second win in what? 4 months?

Transition phase

 

[EarthBoltX]

Even this game can't escape poor umpiring, hm?

Atleast we didnt lose to BD like you do on a consistent basis.

 

[Aman]

Yep, we just beat you black and blue

 

[Fire Bird]

Dhawan's problems against spin continues. bowled

 

[EarthBoltX]

But why couldn't you beat the team that got beaten by BD?

 

[cricket geek]

they are dragging it so that sponsors dont lose too much money

 

[Adil_94]

Shows how important Dhoni is to this team I hope you Indians realise how lucky you are to have an ODI ATG like him

[Aman]

Dhoni imo is much more important to the team than Kohli

 

[Fire Bird]

Yep, we just beat you black and blue

Enjoy it while it lasts. You wont be winning against us when we get back to winning form even in NZ. Still how do you lose to BD though that too 2 whole series . Even afg beat them

 

[Moosa]

2012 series whitewash forgotten already?? I know its a nil achievement for us beating NZ...but hw can you forget that Phanity?

 

[King Cobra]

What would have Dhoni done here ? India got whitewashed in both SA & NZ even with Dhoni .

 

[Aman]

They outplayed us, no excuses.

We do. Its just his captaincy Im not a big fan of.

On SC wickets there is no one better than Dhoni

If one or two of the top order batsmen scored runs, he could have finished the innings off for them and posted 280+

His captaincy is too defensive but when your bowlers give away 300+ nearly away every game you can't expect him to act like he's captaining Wasim and Waqar

True. But he could have atleast pick different players. He could have picked Mishra and Pujara over the two talunted Sharmas. Cannot pick the same players and put the blame on them.

 

[King Cobra]

Not many are watching this match anyway , even this entire tournament wasnt very well watched. There is just too much Cricket on these days and even the IPL is coming.

i was joking man.

 

[mithun_minhas]

It is boring because India is playing for nothing here.

We have no NRR to chase and batsmen are playing to get some good practice out in the middle. No motivation to do anything aggressive.

Dhawan normally would play aggressively. But this is a totally different scenario.

We are already out of tournament. Just formalities to complete.

 

[mithun_minhas]

They outplayed us, no excuses.

Outplayed??

Its more like you guys are clueless when the ball turns a little bit. Bangla have enough spinners to trouble Kiwi batsman.

Everyone is a home tiger (may be except SA and Aus these days)

 

[Mohsin]

If they wanted to (were willing to take the risk rather) india could have used this chase as practice for the T20 WC...unless/until they lost a couple of early wickets of course

We will get plenty of T20 practice when IPL begins.

Well the motivation should be to finish the game ASAP so that we can move on from this failure. No point in dragging it like this. As someone said we should have used this as T20 practice and tried to chase this in 20 overs. Atleast the fans would have gotten something out of this.

 

[Mohsin]

I swear the T20 WC is before the IPL?

You're disregarding the efforts of their batsmen..

 

[Saeed]

Congratulations to India for winning a match

 

[Aman]

We lost the first game on D/L, in the second their batsmen chased down 300 odd and in the third Rubel Hossain took 6 wicket (Medium pacer) to win Bangladesh the game.

Spin wasn't as big of a factor as you're making it out to be.

 

[mithun_minhas]

You're disregarding the efforts of their batsmen..

Banga batsmen played well in Asia cup too. Their bowling is very weak and filled with
Dibbly dobbly gentle spinners. Subcontinent batsmen feast on these kinds off bowlers.

Kiwi batsmen struggled against the same bowlers.

Every team is a home tiger and they perform well in their familiar territory.
