ICC World T20 2009 : Discussion Board + Let's Choose One Team

[saurav_k]

ah atlast the true act of Indian team captain came out ...
always EGO blah blah blah... i am happy i didnt watch the match or else my parents would kick me out of the house (i would have thrown something at TV )

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Isnt this an example of "Lack of Intent" I am talking about!!

That was second last ball of the match, And i do criticize dhoni for not going for second run, But you really don't want to come to conclusion because of this..Isn't it saurav..

You mean Batting order doesnt matters in International Cricket!!

Obviously it does, but you need to experiment also...And that exactly dhoni did.

So, what did you mean?

I was trying to say that, If Raina was to bat at no.3 in important matches, why was he not given practise in the warm-up matches and the group stage matches against Ireland and BD? It is one of the most important batting positions. Raina consistently did well at No.3 in IPL. Why did Dhoni chose to bat at No.3 in easy matches and sent Raina at no.3 in tougher games!! Raina should have been given the practise opportunities in the earlier matches. Is this all not about the batting order!!?

Well let me put myself into dhoni's shoes..

Raina is in tremendous form, He can bat at no 3, so why don't i(dhoni) take my chances to bat at number 3 and regain my form against weaker team.. And if that didn't happen i'll give raina(The specialist) his usual place...

That could be dhoni's thinking, But i don't agree with you that there was some other intention rather than winning the match...

He experimented, He failed and We critisize...
