Do you think Royal Challengers need to have a meaner attitude? Please see details?

Question

The RCB is currently top on the Fair Play Award's list and last on the points table so do they need to become more meaner and aggressive to actually get a better performance and win matches or just rely on ability?

Answer 1

With captain like Dravid, this was bound to happen he has got no aggrression at all.

Answer 2

They don't necessarilly need to be mean and the contect of the word... but definetely a bit more aggressive. they need to operate better as a team and tactically look at where they are falling. They did well against one of the best teams, Chennai (only lost by 13 runs - half an over extra could have changed that) and did win against Mumbai (okay, Mumbai are going through a bit of a low patch). I think they need to look at attacking the bowlers a bit more... they are already at the bottom, no harm trying something new!

-I also agree with crystal... they need to cheer up, their body atitude seems to lack that hunger to win which you always see on Dhoni's face... they even have the best cheerleaders :-)  the Washington Redskins NFL girls!

Answer 3

RCB knows they have a poor team which keeps on failing. So they are trying to win atleast one award.

Answer 4

I think a cool and calm mind along with determination helps in this situation. I personally think that the RCB players are not determined to win.

Answer 5

No, not really they only lack aggression in their batting line up and if they produce it they would achieve something or the other now and get positives in order to implement on it next season.They have good silent players which gives them some advantage in fair play.

Answer 6

OF COURSE NOT, COZ, I BELIEVE THAT GR88 CRICKETERS ARE THOSE WHO WIN AND STILL REMAINS A GENTLEMAN, AND ACCORDING TO ME I THINK THAT THEY NEED TO FIND WINNING WAYS AND STILL REMAIN AT THE TOP OF THE FAIRPLAY CHARTS, COZ, THATS WHAT CRICKETERS ARE.

THEY MUST RELY ON THEIR ABILITY AND TALENT. AND I AM SURE THAT WE ARE GONNA ROCK

Answer 7

Aggression does not mean or guarantee success. The games lost by RCB actually are narrow losses or misses I would say. Besides the common claim that Dravid is a Test player can be refuted by the last innings where his strike rate was well above 100%. Besides it has aggression in the form of Ross Taylor. RCB has been dismal in its finishing. They have lethal pace in the form of Dale Steyn. It is a team to be reckoned with, they just need to find their inner spirit and prove their detractors wrong. So all is not lost. Dravid has excelled under pressure in the past, maybe we are yet to see Dravid's class in action once again. Wishing them luck :)

Answer 8

its a gud side but not able 2 fire yet....they need 2 be more agressive and they can do well and neo is right...dravid is a gr8 player..but not in T20!!

Answer 9

Unfortunately their team composition is well suited for test cricket and not for T20 format.  The batsmen should be more aggressive in their batting to score runs at faster rate to win T20 matches, which unfortunatley they are lagging behind.

Answer 10

as long as dravid is there ,they have no hope ,rohit sharma should be the captain and dravid should not be in the team

Answer 11

ya ofcourse

Answer 12

They rally lack a lot of agression.Rahul dravid is not the best t20 player but still they should look competitive.They normally play boring cricket.While chasing targets they leave everything for final overs in which no team can make good runs as it is that period in which bowlers bowl maximum yorkers an full length deliveries

Answer 13

yes the need to be more agrresive

Answer 14

All they need is some aggression in their Cricket. We have had enough of meanness on the field and here as well.

Was wondering if Iconic Captains should be the Icons behind the scene and give way to the younger, fresher players on the field.

Buck up Challengers!

Answer 15

yes mean like Punter!!

Answer 16

They need to cheer up

Answer 17

they are starting well & falling short sum runs

Answer 18

Can you expect Rahul Dravid to be meaner?? I cant expect that..they just need to play with a definate gameplan and  also need some luck

Answer 19

They just need determination....determination to win! They 've to play to win! And yes i think aggression might help a little bit.....but the aggression is not the key to success, it just helps a little bit! RCB should 've the determination!

Answer 20

no not really you can be on top of points table even though you play Fair game
