We should still be proud

[SrinjayDutta]

I think amongst all the wrist slitting, there is a lot to be proud of. We had 0 luck with toss during knockouts. We could have been smashed here. Jadeja fought like a superhero,whatever you can say. The test championship is coming up. I think we will have another chance this year in eng. Icc t20 wc 2020. If planned well, we can win that. And off course, the big one in 2023 in our backyard. 5 terrible defeats in 6 years, but it just shows how consistent we have become. Let's not be too emotional.

 

I was in an office meeting during the whole big partnership. Probably that's why I am not totally mentally down today. We got punished because we were not brave enough in team selection and game strategy. A well deserved punishment. We can rebuild from here to win 2023. I wish we play a bit of more high octane risky cricket. (Today of all day was the chance to play slow risk free cricket and we messed up in first 3 overs).

Proud of what? Making the SF when there are 3 strong WC sides. One of those teams with their 2 best players coming back after a long break? Oh please. Heads should roll. Dhotis should come down.

I am sad because this is our best odi lineup in years with 3 bowlers avg below 25 and he did not play them in semifinal,The juggle which went on for no 4  .This team should have won the WC but strategic errors commited has lead to this situation.

Yes well done bowlers and top order. Sure it's disappointing but our middle order got exposed and that hopefully will be our priority.

Middle order has been exposed for 4 years now.  Where have you been all this time?

[Mirpur express]

Shout have won tbh, especially when you have Rohit, Kohli and Bumrah who are in prime form.

Bored people who wanted to get off on one more match getting irritated because they have to find something else to do now.

What's done is done. Gill is the next big thing. Pant pandya just 1 or 2 more we are back on track. 

[Nonbeliever]

Ghanta proud.

[Cricketics]

I can't use the word "proud" of today's performance. We did not do great. May be we can use that just for Jadeja for his brilliant performance in this game, but overall, we were expected to be in Semis and we got crushed at the stage where we faced our biggest test. 

 

I am proud to be India, and we will continue support the team like many will do, but I can't be proud of today's performance of few players. We move on, they will get the support they need, but this is going to hurt us for a while. 

 

 

[Hell Raiser]

Nothing to be proud off. Such a large group of players to chose fron, richest board, only team game that whole of india cares about. Moreover we lost to a team that isn't very strong. Nothing much to feel proud off. We are not minnows who lost to a better team and should feel great just because we reached SF. Disappointed should be word not proud.

Heads should roll. But my unbiased judgement is ind right now is the most balanced team in odi and tests. O luck today,absolute 0. We choked badly on the important day.

Dhoni 90% would have failed, but that guptill throw.one out of 100 chance.

Oh that makes me so much better now. I can’t wait for the windies series so I can see our great balance.

[Singh bling]

We are touching new lows in every icc tournaments. 2017 Pakistan and now extremely weak team NZ what's next losing to BD or Afghanistan. 

 

All those meaningless odi series means nothing where B or C grade teams play with us.

[New guy]

This was such an opportunity to win another world cup and away from home. We were the strongest team on paper

[figo6762]

Proud of what ... good teams perform when it matters .... 

we knew our underlying belly was soft .. middle order... which means our top order cannot fail all at the same time ... 

so no excuses of being proud ... sorry don’t buy that ... 

Rohit and kL failed

kohli cannot fail when the openers do ... period... 

 

if australia had the talent pool and wealth that bcci just think about it

 

a total administrative shift is needed . 

 

People need to held liable from players to selectors .

 

This is a failure there are no two ways about it . 

 

The total was low , the opposition really had trundlers, one sole spinner . Can’t lose to that sorry .
