maniac Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 In 2006-2007 our team was similarly invincible in ODI cricket and then the World Cup disaster happened. This is a significant kick on our backside and hope some guts are shown. mancalledsting 1 Link to comment
Rasgulla Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) After 2007 wc we got new captain.. He built a dynasty What are you trying to say here ? New captain ? Edited June 18, 2017 by Rasgulla bleaf27 1 Link to comment
Adi_91 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 That was a kick out of the tournament that really really hurt! And the ignominy of watching Ireland vs Bangladesh was the worst! This one is not that painful. Temujin Khaghan 1 Link to comment
zen Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Yes! As I mentioned on one of the threads, looking back, the squad reminded me of Pak 2003 WC squad that was picked more on reputation of its players and struggled. Considering that I think we could have overachieved by reaching the final. As one of the posters observed that SF was probably the most appropriate but Ind were helped by BD Link to comment

Sgattick10 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Lol nothings gonna happen. Kohli and Yuvi's banter post match reflected all is well, no axe to fall on any one. Link to comment
Temujin Khaghan Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Dhoni and Yuvraj - kohli will take care of them... they will stay back until 2019 kohli's captaincy - no other potential captain in odi or test... Ashwin isn't good enough mentally to lead Rohit will continue to thrash teams on flat tracks so no changes... Link to comment

This will be worse than 2007 but at the end of the day they played better cricket. Link to comment
Temujin Khaghan Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Who is this new captain you are all talking about Gautam Gambhir is the only man other than Dhoni and Kohli who has the stature to captain the national team and he isn't a good batsman anymore please don't tell me it is Rohit Sharma... his place is itself not sure Link to comment

I6MTW Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 We have no other captaincy options anyway. Dhoni is going soon. Rohit is too inconsistent and not even a permanent fixture in the side. Dhawan hardly performs in bilaterals so we use him for Tournaments only. Our spinners(Ashwin and Jadejas future looks bleak), who else is a long term option? Many youngsters are going to be introduced into the side, so the one with the most experience and desire to win is Kohli. He sould learn from his mistakes and improve. Link to comment

THIS Very well said you can cry all you want but those 3 things won't change till 2019 kohli was having a laugh after match with yuvi Link to comment

Every game is a new one and I believe Team India has a better team than Pakistan Gollum 1 Link to comment
maniac Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 The captaincy reeks too much of Dhoni style captaincy...and this is not Dhoni's fault it is totally Kohli's ineptness to let people walk all over him. Kohli on his own is a pretty good captain Gollum and Lannister 2 Link to comment

I mean we couldn't even reach the semis of the CT that was played in 2006 at home and were spanked 4 nil in the ODIs in SA. As for the kick on the backside, don't think so. None of the fat cats are gonna be dropped. We have to wait until 2019 WC for the great ODI purge. Rasgulla, maniac and Gollum 3 Link to comment

But, you can't really do much when the opposition is playing good cricket. The 2014 defeat was probably the tougher one to digest. Yuvi bottled it. Link to comment
