MCGGG Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Now there's balls, and there's absolute stupidity, I think we know what his WC final innings falls under, did he think it was a super over? There is no excuse for not taking at least a few overs to get the feel of things, fact is his ego was more important than his team. Link to comment
BlueBee Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Starc got him. He got made. Link to comment
MCGGG Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Starc got him. He got made. How would you feel if an Indian opener went the same way in a WC final? Link to comment
CG Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 How would you feel if an Indian opener went the same way in a WC final? Thats his game,so people accept it.But he should have given himself few balls as length of hazel wood would have suited him. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I think Guptill should have faced all starcs deliveries. Guptill should have taken it upon himself to be stuck at Starc's end. Link to comment
BlueBee Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 How would you feel if an Indian opener went the same way in a WC final? They won't. Link to comment
G_B_ Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Probably cause Indian fans have a similar experience of Viru? Link to comment
amiret Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Mccullum's stupidity gets a pass in his own country. batsmen should be able to adapt to circumstances and conditions. McCullum has failed to do so. Link to comment
Marut Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 A bit stupid to go after the best bowler of the tournament thrice in three balls. He must have felt confident after sending Steyn to hell in the SF. Unfortunately, Starc was way better than Steyn in this tournament. Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 McCullum did indeed err in going after Starc instead of going after bowler at the other end (Hazlewood or Johnson). Starc was at his peak and it was foolhardy to take him on when there are other bowlers to taget. I do blame NZ think-tank and McCullum for not understanding the situation better and changing tactics, especially when McCullum was already beaten the first 3 deliveries he faced against Starc. Maybe the reason he gets a pass is that i) He had a great world cup, ii) Aussie team was so much superior to Kiwis that McCullum wouldn't have made a difference anyway. Link to comment
Number Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 How would you feel if an Indian opener went the same way in a WC final? If any Indian opener had played innings like him in the Semi Finals to get us into the finals then I'd have forgiven him for anything. :haha: Link to comment
MCGGG Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 If any Indian opener had played innings like him in the Semi Finals to get us into the finals then I'd have forgiven him for anything. :haha: And that's why you've only won the one WC. Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 And that's why you've only won the one WC. Correction: Pakistan has won one world cup but India has double that number :winky: Link to comment
G_B_ Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Correction: Pakistan has won one world cup but India has double that number :winky: its also this line of thinking which means Australia have never won the T20 world cup Link to comment
Number Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 And that's why you've only won the one WC. 2 world cups + 2 ICC CTs + 1 T20 WCs is pretty good. Will make it next 2 T20 WCs next april and will be equal to Aussies in ICC trophies (5 WC+1 CT). B-> Link to comment
MCGGG Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Correction: Pakistan has won one world cup but India has double that number :winky: You can put them together as far as I'm concerned, you can even add Sri Lankas if you like, you still come up short though. :finger: Link to comment
