SLOW SCORING by Sachin and Virat caused Indian defeat, what do you think??

Surely, India scored slowly in sub continental batting condition. But I would not blame sachin for this. Sachin was trying to achieve that century, and he was not making it very slow mode. But in that course virat took single and gave strike to sachin as much as possible, but i thought virat on the other End should have played more aggressively, considering the scoring rate of Sachin. Any way in the End the total look at least 30 runs short in a perfect batting condition.so keeping in mind the low power bowling attack of India we should have made a much good target,otherwise this is a good target. But this was defend able, If we were having good bowling attack.Similar target was beautifully defended by Pakistan the other day. And 25% of Sachin's century will go in vain, so it happened here also. Out of 100 ton,25 ton matches India lost the match. In 49 ODI hundred from sachin India lost 14 matches.. This is the stats. Indian bowling was not in the best side, we know that our bowling is not world class. But normally in the recent past Dhoni's bowling change will turn the match.Dhoni's trick didn't worked. But here that didn't happen And Bangladesh players played beautifully from the start to the end keeping in mind the target.They Achieved it in style,I think we should give Credit for Bangladesh players.

Either batting or bowling, they repeat the same mistake of playing mindlessly. That's the reason for the defeat. Ironically, the sentiment with Sachin's centuries continue. 290 is not a defendable score, they played badly. A team should be working together, not in individual departments. If there is collapse in batting, the bowling department should back up and vice versa. But here, we blame each other. Pitiful and awful.

I think we should accept that over the years bars have gone up. I am not going to say Virat played slowly or Sachin played slowly. I am only going to say that we are still telling ourselves that 5 per over is a good score when after T20 we have to be looking at 6 or 7 per over. In test matches, we used to think 4 per over was good, and we still consider it good mind you. But if you notice, in the past average score in test matches were 3 to 4 per over. Only after one dayers came, the pace increased. Gotta face facts and play accordingly..

Completely agree with you, this pitch was similar to the pitch which was used in World cup match between India and Bangladesh last year.In that match Bangladesh managed to reach 284,so going by that i dont know how Indians thought that this score is good enough.Between 30-34th over only 6 runs were scored.Sachin made only 13 runs in span of 34-44 over to complete his century and only 34 runs came in final power-play which is ridiculous.SL has better attack than Bangladesh over that one of the bowlers of Bangladesh was injured still India could not make 300 on a flat track.They took Bangladesh lightly.

i find no reason in why people trying to blame kohli in here... he was there till the 35th over and SR 80 is always good provided u maintain a good strike rate with wickets in hand... the problem with sachin was that even after the 40th over he did not try to go after the bowlers as he was only playing for his century and was playing very slowly, which was the rootcause of india's lowscore..... there is nothing wrong in the part of kohli here

on last day match i wonder why Indian fast bowlers regularly bowls fulltoses and spinners bowls short bowls in leg sides inviting them to hit sixes. Indian team has to work seriously in bowling department.

Well Defeintly Slow Scoring is one reason, But main reason is our Bowling, if we were unable to safe the score of 290 under no 9 rank Bangladesh team so we must thing ourself first and than choose the player who didnot perform upto the mark... Well after i really congratulate Mr. sachin Tendulkar who Established the 100TH Centery in International Cricket i.e. 51 in Test and 49 in One day cricket, But if all is well and also end is well, than no body talk about indian defeat and every one talk about century of sachin, well no doubt sachin century is slow and take 144 bowl to make 114 run, and all indian player are also looking the century of sachin, but after they have to finished the ining approx 320 or 350 which they were unable to do, and after when partnership of 2nd wicket is going of bangladesh they were unable to break the same and finally our bowling give the chance to win the match.. Means Indian Take Bangladesh Team very lightly and his bowling is out of up to the mark, so well seen in next match with Pak but our great player do their and whether they reach the final or not.....

To be frank 290 was defend able, it is poor bowling by Ashwin especially and later Pathan and Kumar. Mushfiqur Rahim 25 balls 46 and Sakib al hasan 49 in 31 balls were the innings which turn the match in Bangladesh favor. Such innings might be missing when Indian batsmen played because Bangladesh spinner Razzak, Mashrafe Mortaza and Shafiul Islam bowled economically. Whereas Dinda,Pathan,Kumar, jadeja and Ashwin economy is more than 5 runs per over. Expect Suresh Raina(he did not finish his quota) bowled 7 overs and 1 maiden and 30 runs was given away. It was Rahim innings which turned the match for Bangladesh. I have never seen him play with such flare as he played today. Dhoni has no ideas in the end. Well Ramaswamyvtkv, if India had crossed 300 plus then they will surely would have won but Pakistan has defended a total of 262 against Bangladesh on the same Dhaka track. So, it is bowling which one has to blame, any other side would have easily would have defended that 290. Two innings which saved Bangladesh one is that of Shakib al hasan and another one is that of Rahim innings. Infact Sachin and Virat build up a good platform for the middle order to fire up. Finally Sachin will play a better innings against Pakistan hopefully..

Hi I think 290 is the good score to protect on any pitch. Yes Sachin played little slow but he having burden given my fan and media. But still he played well. I think we having too weak bowling. We surely need some good bowler. I am sure with this total Srilanka or Pakistan could have stopped bagladesh. I am still not getting, that why some good bowlers are still not getting chance. Anyways, overall Bangladesh have played quite well in compare to India. And they deserved the win.

i somehow agree with u completely. Sachin was after his 100 and toiled the game for that way. it was a batting pitch and we having a caliber to get 330 in 38th over (against srilanka), we should have been able to win this game... Now, we have a must win game against Pakistan.. Lets see...

Hello friend! Actual i am agree with you! Its really poor strike rate by sachin and virat specialy on that batting pitch. Raina played well. Rohit sharma as usual prove himself useless. After that dhoni played a quick innings. So overall batting is good. And scored 289. Its a huge score for one day cricket. And really challangeable score. Here i saw everyone blame the batsman but in my focus they are well. India lost the game only for the bowler. Very very poor bowling by bowlers. Specially irfan pathan and ashwin. A really interesting thing i never saw any slazing by indian bowler in whole match. Now a days Slazing is really a part of cricket. the bowlers did not force the batsman for big shots so they played their own cricket with cool mind. Its really a great moment for us because sachin's 100 out of hundred. And now i think sachin should retire from odi cricket and make a new place for young. Otherwise india have to find a great bowler actual i mean match winner.
