Seven Sourav Blunders
by Inca on Apr 30, 2008 12:02 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

A series of blunder from the so called best captain of Indian cricket history..
1. Keeping in form Wridhiman Saha out of first 11
2. Continuing with off form Ponting
3. Special consideration on Mohmmad Hafeez
4. Came to open the inning (with such a ridiculous form)
5. Leaving in form LR Shukhla in 6th in batting order
6. Removing Dinda from attack after seventh over
7. Allowing Hafeez to bowl on such a crucial moment

Please forgive me for not commenting on his shocking form and lack of team motivating ability. I am not going on his batting form, as I didn't have much expectation on him. As I estimate him,if he scores more than 15 then he is quite ahead of his ability.

sourav himself is a blunder. but must appreciate that he is finally learning to play pull shots(although pathetic). god known when kumble will learn to spin the ball.

You missed Point No.8: Leaving out Salman Butt.

Ponting played his last today -- he won't be missed from the next game onwards. Hope his replacement Brad Hodge does some better work. However, there is a rule that you must play 4 locals. All locals are playing exceptionally for the Knight Riders, except the captain himself. Why doesn't he excuse himself and make Lakshmi Ratan Shukla the captain ;-) ?
