Report card for T1
============

Laxman: F-

LOL. There are 3 known ways to get an F-. Bowling a no ball or wide on the last ball of a match when 7 runs are required. Or if you are a Pakistani fast bowler who bowls no balls. Or Jwala Gutta's clandestine lover.

Quote
Kohli: F
Gambhir: F

Seconded.

Quote
Dhoni: E

E- for his poor captaincy which made a big difference. 220 was a different ball game compared to 292. Saved from an F because of surviving a little longer in the second innings.

Quote
Dravid: D-

E for dropping that catch of Hussey. It was a simple catch too, and it was the match right there.

Quote
SRT: D
Sehwag: D

C- for both

Quote
Ashwin: C
Isshannt: C+
Yadav: B+

Agreed.

Quote
Khan: A

B+ because we lost and he didn't save the day. No one gets an A. His batting approach can be pointed to for the demotion.

Good one. The fourth is when your failure is foreseeable (look under Laxman and first test leadiness)

Agree on Dhoni, but will stay with RD, Sehwag and SRT. SRT gets a downgrade from C- to D for losing his wicket so late in the day. Maybe A- for Khan for that I1 dismissal, but props for lasting the whole test.

huh ? Second biggest culprit is a batsman who scored second highest score for India in the match. :o
his catching is a problem but saying that catch cost us the match may be one of the last things one should mention.
 
Actually the difference in chasing below 220 to 292 is humongous.  That is what RD's drop cost. It was a game changer in the end game.  Hussey went on to score bulk of his runs after that life.  To me he is a huge culprit in the test to drop a sitter which anyone would take with one of their hands tied back and eyes closed.  Only guys who did ok to me are Yadav, ZK and Ashwin and SRT to an extent all things considered.  That's it.

But more importantly, why is RD in the slips? That he has been dropping catches in the slips recently is well known. He is fit enough to be in the outfield, and surely we should be trying out other people in the slips?

Slips are the best places to hide.......you are just one among the gang. Normally the seniors opt and get to field in the slips..........unless he is a special fielder like Azhar, who would always prefer his normal position around cover.

yes the diff between chasing 220 and 292 is huge but i think if i am not wrong hussey went on to score 20 odd runs  after he was dropped so to say that he scored the bulk of his runs after the drop is stretching it a bit too far.
to elaborate on what rams has said that the diff b/w 220 and 292:lets not forget it was not the catch that made that difference but the fact that we were in a position to gain a lead of around 100 but ended up with a def of 51...so what actually should have been a chase of 220 or less( lead of 100 would have made the chase to be 120) ended up in a chase of 292.. and the blame should be on our middle order lower order batting. it was there that we lost the match ..rest of what happened later was all we can blame also but in reality the match was lost for good when we collapsed in the first innings.

and why should srt not take the blame too ..just because he scored his runs fluently?? in the first innings he scored nearly the same as rd/vs. in the second he scored 30 odd but fluent runs but still he too is to be blamed as a part of the whole failure on the batting front like the rest

did you see the ball he got out to in the first innings?

rd played 1 more time and scored less and worst of all dropped a sitter.

if wishes were horses..it is all hypothetical that they would have been all out for 220. In the first innings last wicket added humongous runs and same could have happened.

slip is the place to hide ? from what ? may be from running ? that way keeping is also the best place to hide.  ::) are you saying that reaction , concentration time does not matter in slips.?

They matter.......normally the seniors, who obviously want to do less running around prefers the slips. The reaction time/ reflexes of international players remain more or less the same, as long as they are actively playing ....or atleast they do not deteriorate alarmingly generally.
Concentration matters too.....but concentration matters more when one is playing chess or batting, compared to slip-fielding. That brings up the matter as to why Dravid, whose concentration powers are admirable is failing to concentrate in the slips?! :(

If concentration is an issue RD should field closer either in Forward or backward short leg. You miss the ball here you get hit  on the head or on the body  unlike in the slips where you don’t get hit  if you miss the ball.

We saw RP fielding close ..one way to get rid of the senior players?

concentration when fielding at slip is more or equal to the concentration u need during batting. You have to be ready for each and every ball to take the catch.
May be we can look at someone like Sehwag fielding there.

Those short leg positions are meant for youngsters/ debutants....who need to prove themselves and make themselves feel accepted...................................either you take a lucky, reflex catch, or you get hit.......easiest way to feel accepted in the team. :)
RD's batting contributions ensures that he doesn't need to field in the short legs, to feel accepted. Seniors, like Ponting in this case, who are going thru a lean patch in batting, may try to do so once in a while, just to show their commitments. :)

BT,GG still not accepted in the team even after leading India in the ODI series ::) Anyway he is batting like an debutant nowadays ;)

When I was part of the state team if someone was not seeing the ball well, misfielding or dropping catches we used to move them to short leg or silly point with improved results .

Happy new year to you and to all the DG’ians ::cheers::

Yeah...GG is a special case. He is an exceptional player, atleast in the ODIs....captaincy material.....needs to be supported, all the way. But most of these young Indian batsmen are unfortunately finding it tough to prosper in the English and the Aussie conditions.
Asking established but mis-fielding players on the short leg is a good way of helping him hide. If he misses there...no problems....that is quite usual. :)

And yes...Happy new year to all.............punch and judies included! ::cheers::

Really? That's why you gangulians are commies. There is no free meal. You don't get a free pass at this level. But then the gangulians can't understand that.

Slips are the best places to hide.......you are just one among the gang. Normally the seniors opt and get to field in the slips..........unless he is a special fielder like Azhar, who would always prefer his normal position around cover.
Azhar used to be a very good slip fielder and in his senior days he also fielded very often in slips.
slip is the place to hide ? from what ? may be from running ? that way keeping is also the best place to hide.  ::) are you saying that reaction , concentration time does not matter in slips.?


They matter.......normally the seniors, who obviously want to do less running around prefers the slips. The reaction time/ reflexes of international players remain more or less the same, as long as they are actively playing ....or atleast they do not deteriorate alarmingly generally.
Concentration matters too.....but concentration matters more when one is playing chess or batting, compared to slip-fielding. That brings up the matter as to why Dravid, whose concentration powers are admirable is failing to concentrate in the slips?! :(

If concentration is an issue RD should field closer either in Forward or backward short leg. You miss the ball here you get hit  on the head or on the body  unlike in the slips where you don’t get hit  if you miss the ball.

We saw RP fielding close ..one way to get rid of the senior players?


Those short leg positions are meant for youngsters/ debutants....who need to prove themselves and make themselves feel accepted...................................either you take a lucky, reflex catch, or you get hit.......easiest way to feel accepted in the team. :)
RD's batting contributions ensures that he doesn't need to field in the short legs, to feel accepted. Seniors, like Ponting in this case, who are going thru a lean patch in batting, may try to do so once in a while, just to show their commitments. :)

That's why u r a gangulian. Entitlements. Tch tch


I believe, specially talented players deserve entitlements.
btw, Ganguly hasn't been successfully replaced  yet.

Really? That's why you gangulians are commies. There is no free meal. You don't get a free pass at this level. But then the gangulians can't understand that.

Look who is talking!...a delhi guy used to free-bies and stealing public properties(chor) all his life!......keep up the good act ::cheers::

 I see. Calling members a chor is ok now. I could retaliate and call bengalies thieves but then remembered that the pathetic state of Bengal has nothing to steal. The commis took care of that.

If you can call members commies and get away with it, why do you dislike being called a chor(thief), for once?

Looks like MSD exactly doing what I suggested he should do after his approach in the 1st inning.

Delusions of grandeur... anyone? Could it be because she is the product of the largesse of Nizams loins.
