wanted_desi Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 What a pathetic team England is. Little bit more application, we should have won this series 4-1. sandsaims, Mosher, Laaloo and 4 others 1 2 1 3 Link to comment

express bowling Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) A little bit of grit was needed by our batters ( barring Kohli ) Edited September 7, 2018 by express bowling UrmiSinhaRay, SK_IH, Switchblade and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment

Adi BB Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 England has a third class batting unit which is why any decent pace attack blows them away nowadays Switchblade and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment
Clarke Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I guess now we know how padosis felt for a while. Good quality bowling and terrible batting, except our ATG captain. speedheat, express bowling, UrmiSinhaRay and 4 others 3 4 Link to comment

zen Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 we are acting like Pak fans (don't know how they act now) who when Pak used to lose act as if it was due to "fixing". otherwise Pak would have won easily GoldenSun 1 Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 It's fine. Losing 5 tosses. Poor selection. No preparation. Poor management of unfit players. Poor strategizing/captaincy. Horrible scheduling . I'll take it if we can win this match. Winning 3 test matches in sena is ok compared to what we got in the 2011-17 period. 1 win in 21 matches. Also I think we were too complacent with Kohli/shastri not giving enough respect to conditions/opposition . SA surprised us with a returning AB/Steyn in the 1st test and England's all-rounders including that lad Curran were a surprise as well. I think 3-2 England would be a fair result all things considered. We didn't deserve to win . Had we won , it would have resulted in Kohli and shastri and everyone else gloating about the process, fearless cricket yada yada yada and we would have stagnated further.

Lannister Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 3-2 is fine if we win this one. But the team management has to go. Get some quality staff who atleast knows what they are doing. UrmiSinhaRay and ThePhenomenal1 2 Link to comment

But then the other team can assume those things too How many times have we heard such crap: If Misbah had not played that shot in 2007 T20 WC If the team did not fix If Viv Richards had not played that shot in 83 final If Kapil had not made 175* If Gambhir had got out in 2011 WC If BD had batted sensibly in Pandya's over in that T20 If Kohli had got a duck vs Aus in that T20 game If Ishant had not picked up that wkt in CT final vs Eng If Yuv and Kaif had got out in Natwest final If Ind did not prepare rank turners at home If both Warne and McGrath had played in the 2003/4 Test series in Aus If Lax had not played that inning at Kol If Pandya had not picked up 5 quick wkts If fans do this, every team would have won everything. We want to accept other teams mistakes and discount ours when judging things Edited September 7, 2018 by zen UrmiSinhaRay, Adi BB, GoldenSun and 2 others 1 2 2 Link to comment

It depends how consistent and persistent you are ,aus came to ind in 2001 and lost the last 2 matches narrowly but next time round in 2004 they won the series. This does not answer the question that if other team or Ind visualized a perfect situation for it while discounting the same for the other team, the result would have been different For e.g. if Ind had not left grass on the pitch at Nagpur, etc. .... In that case, we can visualize a different result UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Kohli was dropped couple of times and we would've bowled out for below 100 in the first innings, if not for his freak innings. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
