Dhoni's decision to send in Jadeja ahead of Yuvraj backfired bigtime......damn it!

WOW! So Dhoni is going to get fired now?

I am predicting a huge attack from him on the selectors for leaving him out of selection decisions.

Oh well, it's a joke tournament after all.

We just graduated from joke cricket to the one that matters.

Dissector · 14-06-2009, 01:24 PM

Looks like game over. This is what happens when you "save" your best batsman for the end. You end up wasting precious overs and leave him way too much to do.

I don't blame Jadeja really. He is practically a part time batsman with almost no international experience and sending him in a difficult situation in a big game was a ridiculous decision. Just one of many poor tactical decisions by India in this tournament and they deserve to be knocked out early.

Yeah sending jadeja in early and his inability to hit out has put too much pressure on gambhir, yuvraj.Cost the game for india big time.Poor bowling from ishant and zaheer also helped.
Dhoni as usual playing his rahul dravidesque game.Well done england.

four_or_six · 14-06-2009, 01:25 PM

Come on boys... not over yet.

Smith · 14-06-2009, 01:26 PM

What has been unbelievable is that Dhoni has lost completely his slogging abilities. We perhaps got an excellent ODI player and a reasonably good test batsman in the bargain, but damn we lost a hitter.

Shri · 14-06-2009, 01:27 PM

Its about ****ing time that Dhoni realises that he was selected in the team for his aggressive style of batting. No one gives a **** about a Dhoni who looks to go steady on a T20 game. What the **** happened to the guy who hit a ****ing 183* while CHASING aginst Lanka? Thus is not his ****ing style of play at all. Go back and dominate bowlers with sheer six hitting ability like in old times instead of screwing around with singles on the field.

It is good you have finally admitted that.

four_or_six · 14-06-2009, 01:30 PM

Excellent spell from Swann.

I'm still worried about Yusuf.

four_or_six · 14-06-2009, 01:30 PM

Come on baby-Watto. Come on.

superkingdave · 14-06-2009, 01:31 PM

Wright on...critical over

Shri · 14-06-2009, 01:31 PM

Its better to lose to England and get it over with now. Steyn and Parnell are going to slaughter this side with short stuff anyway.
