Texan Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Lets accept it. We were never really the best team in the tournament. We had one batsman. Thats it. Only one man. Everyone else struggled (except Dhoni to a certain extent) Bowlers kept us in the hunt so far, but bowling completely collapsed in the semis. WI the better team - deserve to win. Hope they win the finals too. tweaker, WC2011INDIA, Singh bling and 2 others 5 Link to comment

vayuu1 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 It's more to do with no balls and dew, but yeah batting has been garbage barring kohli and dhoni. WC2011INDIA 1 Link to comment

chewy Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Definetely didn't deserve. By the end of super 10s, didn't have any bowlers in the top wickets list, and only Kohli featured amongst runs. And not to mention idoitic selection of Yuvraj and Rahane diehardpacer 1 Link to comment
Texan Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 We need power hitters who are in form in T20s. Not struggling batsmen. The attitude should be to go for runs from ball 1. And bowlers need to learn the art of bowling slow off cutters leg cutters mixed with yorkers. Bowling predictably is not going to take you far. Stuge 1 Link to comment
Number Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Yes. The loss isn't hurting me at all. We were easily the worst team by a margin in top 4 as far as performance in this tournament goes. Link to comment
adi B Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Its true and I said one thing at the start that dhoni is a guy who has won every tournament once but I dont think he'll win it more than once ,be it ct,wc and wt20 .its written in the stars and i found this interesting after our 2014 wt20 defeat which should have been a win win on any other day against our bunnies! Its time for a changeover,dhoni had his time and we enjoyed it but 9 years is now too much ,we need a new leader Stuge 1 Link to comment
adi B Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 England and windies are two deserving teams who play fearlessly!! We are too timid and carried passengers for this format,had to come back to bite us sometime,unfortunately today. I honestly believe that India missed the greatest chance in Bangladesh in 2014 ,we wwre romping everyone and were the hot favourites and wkts were spinning ,our bowling looked awesome but we choked Link to comment
kosingh Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Well, it's the favorite time of the year for 90% of out players. IPL baby! tweaker 1 Link to comment
chewy Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 the funniest situation is Pandya, this guy has been selected for batting and big hitting, but hardly got to bat much and had to end up playing as a makeshift bowler. Link to comment

We should have won that tournament easily. That loss still hurts because of that Yuvraj innings. This one doesnt because we weren't really good enough to win. Link to comment
Yoda-esque Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Agree...too many holes in this team Link to comment

Hope they win the finals too. Agree. Indians should not have deserved to be in the semis unless idiot rahim costed the match. To be honest India is not that much stronger team compare to last few years. 3-0 win in Aus doesnt mean anything beacuse it was a victory against a team without full bench strength. Even one match lost to SL and ended up wining 2-1 not that great. India was lucky to lift Asia Cup beacuse win against average PAK and SL team cannot rate highly. Atleast India came to semis thanks to Rahim & home conditions. Before start tourney all expected Rohit to score most number of sixes but still couldnt make 5 sixes. It was only one man show Kholi vs Opponents. Pls accept it indians Misbah and chewy 2 Link to comment

But as of now India will still No. 1 in T20s, even if WI wins final. Link to comment
zen Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) To be fair - the top 3 teams in the competition, NZ, WI and Eng made it to the KO. There was not much difference b/w Aus and Ind so Ind making it to the KO is acceptable too but from there on it needed to play absolutely great cricket (and not the continuation of what we had seen in some of the group games) Edited March 31, 2016 by rett Link to comment
