Re: Cricket match prediction discussions

It was expected as Dhoni was just wasting the balls and not trying to score , even he was weak in running between the wicket. And in the end West Indies won this low score thriller match.

May be Dhoni was really tired in this match and so was the reason he was not striking the ball really well,he wasted a lot of balls ,may be the pitch is not suitable for batting,but either way India could have won the match but ,it was a stellar performance from West Indies despite defending a low score.

Dhoni will be blamed for this defeat, but he did score 50+ runs. In a low scoring match, this could have been crucial in achieving the target. Unfortunately, India couldn't finish the match and Dhoni gets the blame.

It was an easy match if anyone of the other end batsmans stayed without giving a gift wickets to West Indies bowlers. Dhoni should have played more attacking and out looked like they don't care about a loss. The series could have been a whitewash.

This shows that India batting line up is not consistent and they can't even score 200 runs in 50 overs game. We can't blame one person, but it is a full team defeat. The only couple of guys scored some decent runs and rest of them got out for very cheap. It looks like the pitch was supporting bowlers. But India got so many good batsmen they should have managed in a better way.

Dhoni shouldn't be blamed because he was the only one who was in the crease when others were giving their wicket away cheaply . If any other batsmen like Kohli or Jadhav played long enough then it would have been an easy win .

Do you really think that Dhoni should not be blamed but if you see that he literally played slowly so that the pressure should build and the other batsman initiate to score and give wickets , when he can also do it like taking singles and could have win it. The Run rate to score was only below 4 but even then they lost it. Virat Kohli is a useless players without any knowledge about captaincy and blaming coach for all his fault, Shameless fellow not able to play in this type of game also.

We can't blame players but should be blamed to captain for the matches win or lose. As you said, Kohli is a good batsman but not matured enough to take up the captainship. If one side wickets are falling, then we can't expect a set batsman to hit every ball because if he also got out early then, they might all-out soon. At least someone should have a stand there to build a partnership with Dhoni.

Right, Kohli is a fantastic batsman, but he needs some more experience to lead the team. His attitude is not good he doesn't have any respect for senior players. I think India intentionally lost a match against Pakistan in CT. This news spread in social media and the Indian cricket player only twitted this news in his twitter account. After 20min he removed his comment why everyone knows this truth. My suggestion is Rohit Sharma wants to become captain for India team.
