Lets keep a count on the number of blunders they do which we can visit post another Wc disappointment ... This would include Selections mainly as i dont wanna include much of on-field tactics (coz i beileve those also involves execution part) but still we ll add up those strategies which wud be foolish on Diff level Starting With Ind-WI LOI series To start with Kohli going for LOI series has basically taken one spot for no reason which cud have been given to a youngster like Gill ....now iyer, rahul cant even get a spot in XI Selection inconsistencies - why am i putting this on captain as well coz its his vision as well and he is the one with impatience problem Gill goes on NZ tour plays 2 games ...gets dropped in Aus series Mayank goes in WC ...warm benches and gets dropped from Next series Rahul plays in Whole Wc and next series in t20 which is his most powerful format ...he gets dropped Dhawan, Jadeja, Manish pandey selection in t20 format which has been their weakest over so many years Baffling selection 3. Baffling Final XI selections- Lets says for a second if selectors have messed up but what about playing XI Manish pandey, dhawan over KL rahul - This is the single reason that KL who has been going through techincal issue has been put under insecurity which doesnt help any players mindset Benching a leggie like Rahul chahar

Indians on social media are really embarassing. They make the remaining sane Indians too look like douchebags.

he plays test cricket over 3 formats unlike steve smith so thala gets my vote for sure.

Superb debut by Saini in T20Is 3 for 17 in 4 overs. Combined pace, bounce and accuracy ... took wickets and choked runs. Bowled quite a few good bouncers and yorkers. His death bowling has improved a lot and that is so heartening to see. Want to see Bumrah, Saini and Shami bowl in tandem in the 2 longer formats. That would be some quick and accurate bowling attack.

Did you ever watch Tendy bat in the 2nd half of the 90s? Comparing Sachin past his prime, to the absolute peaks of guys like Ponting, Kohli, Smith, Dravid etc etc - its a familiar bit.

Sachin had a phase between 29 jan 1993 and 14 apr 2011 where he avg:ed 59.35 after scoring 13534 runs in 258 inns.This he did against several 'sub 25' avg:ing bowlers . So to place Smith over Sachin is a bit premature as of now.

between 2002 to 2006 period Ponting averaged 70 plus, his peak, played 50-60 tests. After that, averaged 40-42 till he retired ended up with an averaged for early 40s. Smith for his first 20 tests average 40, averages 74 in his last 45 tests. So, he may well go down to 40-45 like ponting did.

unfortunately, the internet access is leaking Ind's worst secrets

Please feel free to console yourself with scrap metal. If you like pictures, how do you like this one? Hint, that's not a Pakistani leader signing documents for another loan. Its something else.

Well the country is a bastardized outcome of Akhand Bharat No wonder bulk of Pakistani ecosystem try to pass themselves off as Indians once they leave the phateechar pure land.

Pant needs a kick on his backside. We need to get Kishen in too. Pant is becoming too complacent. Doesn't realise the value of the chances he is getting.

Aaj bhi ????

anyway check what happened in kashmir .. thala went for a patrol and whole valley is shivering

Just dont get this obsession of comparison specially players from diff era

Starc is at a different level as he can bowl entire spells around 150 k even in test matches. Archer drops pace often enough and we don't know his speeds in test matches yet. Ferguson again is more of a shorter version express bowler but very often bowls 137 to 145 k range even in these formats. Saini is not as quick as Starc but could be as quick as Ferguson or Archer.

Nothing gonna happen... BJP is just trying to divert attention on failing economy to its pet subject of invoking fake nationalism...

every time i see rat captain i cringe a little now,saini got a 3-17 last match and he ll be introduced after khaleel and bhuvi,his captaincy is brilliant,isnt it?? throw this fkr out...

Tim Paine looks like a ultra defensive captain, Dhoni mould

Pant should be opening the batting. An explosive player should be given a go in the top order to face the 1st 6 overs.

these are excellent achievments (honestly well done!) but I'll think you'll find there's plenty on this website with something similar; such points won't help to positively differentiate your statements. I'd suggest sticking to competing on the merits of your arguments (purpose of a forum)

Aussies in "trouble" is basically the match situation that Sachin batted at in majority of his innings in the 1990s - you had guys like Debang Gandhi open the batting for India - 20/2 was the norm. But you do you. Isn't it time for the hourly thala-pooja in your shrine? Next to that dead pigeon?

He is the most clutch test batsman I have seen since another Steve ( Waugh). Sense of occasion is a great filter to define greatness.

Wait that also means he is better test cricketer than thala? no way!

what is the purpose of this league ?

Pakistan also has a high proportion of goatsexual population too

I think Karnataka Cricket Association has a role to play here,they need to give a longer rope to this promising pacer who has age on his side and can serve them in the longer run against the likes of Vinay Kumar,Abhimanyu Mithun etc

They couldn't accommodate Gill in this squad? Seriously pathetic.

May be he wants to announce his retirement in Kashmir and Kashmiri youth who love to see india losing will start rioting after hearing this.

Maybe improve with bat then and try to become shakib like player for india who could bat in top 4 in odis and bowl 10 overs. His funny actions and variations have no turn or mystery it's just that his body himself moves more than the ball.

comment section good amount of desis wont understand saracasm or joke

Michael Vaughan is a pretty obvious troll.

Saini totally off colour,no pace ,just running in and releasing Wonder what they have told him to do?

Arjun seems to be gaining pace. Is doing well in these games in England.

saini is bowling a bit slower than i have seen him bowl,still good pace,i just hope no one in the coaching messes him up like they did khaleel,who is a useless trundler now

If the selectors continue to pick TTFs like Pandey in any of the future LOIs, then they should hv their hands chopped off, assuming they had hands in the first place.

I don't usually cheer an Indian wicket going down.. But glad Kohli is gone for a nothing effort in an inconsequential game. One more failure please.

thats funny,,he could have replied that even kohli hasnt won a world cup without dhoni to add some salt and rub it in

Hard to make a case for Sachin against Smith in Tests, tbh.

i knw......i wanted to add from 2019-2023 Wc but if kohli looses in one more World tournament which he will ....he might loose LOI captaincy

Among Gujratis, Jai Shri Krishna has always been the primary way to greet each other as far as I have seen. I observed that even while talking on the Phone, their conversation would always start with " Jai Shri Krishna Mummy, Jai Shri Krishna Didi, Jai Shri Krishna Pappa " Also among the middle class to affluent Dalits in Maharashtra, it is common to greet each other with " Jai Bheem ". Not a religious slogan but has unique political connotations to it and to express solidarity with each other. Jai Shri Ram is purely religious but recently there has been a wave of Political Hindus who have latched onto it to assert their Hindutva aggression towards the Muslims. Everything can be traced back to the Babri Masjid Demolition episode , Where Hindus whose ancestors have been persecuted by Muslim Kings for centuries demolish the Babri Masjid ( which itself was built on a Holy place after destroying the Ram Mandir) to restore the Pride of Rama and thus Jai Shri Ram becomes the tool of Hypermasculie Hindutva to counter the atrocities of Jihadis.

Some more for you ... Jai Bhole nath Jai Hind Jai Mata di Jai Kaali Jai Durge Jai Hanuman Jai Badri Vishaal Raadhe Raadhe Jai Seeta maiya

we all know that they are going to make blunders after blunders because they are pretending to sleep for their own selfish motives.That being the case what is the purpose of such threads other than consuming valuable efforts of us fans?? It is high time fans across the nation as a whole react sharply and so intensely. For a start, reach out to these frauds' social media accounts in bulk, even resort to foul mouthing them so badly and make media publish the comments so that the feelings of the ordinary fans be understood by past players & other concerned people & eventually by these morons themselves. Such constructive methods are the need of the hour.

years ago, i was traveling with a group and were stuck in some place due to bad weather. Our of absolute necessity i saw people eat what under normal conditions they wouldn't even touch. when you are hungry all this halal or veg without egg bullcrap goes out of window.

Avesh is not even getting picked for the A team Unofficial tests. He could be such a great addition to our pace battery. Prasidh's omission, from our LOI A teams, is baffling. The selectors are trying really hard to showcase that they lack vision and talent spotting ability

You come here only for telling us about your crush on Pak men ? All your posts are only about the khoobsoorti of pak men. We get it..Hum samajh gaye... Good for you .

Correction -he is a genuine express pacer currently He has bowled a whole spell above 149 and few in 150s in Syed mushtaq ali trophy this year He can bowl at high pace ,it was just a slow pitch where he wasn't putting too much effort , still kept it above 140s most of the times Even in IPL he was the fastest Indian bowler on display

He was definitely quicker on avg than Archer and Ferguson in IPL.

pathetic win serverd up on a platter by bowlers,kohli is the most useless captain for team building and WE WONT WIN ANY CUPS UNDER HIM.

I hope Kohli and Rohit fail in most of the ODI and T20I matches on this tour. This stats padding in useless bilateral and league matches ... and failing in crucial knock out games ... is very irritating. Kohli deserves to score only in test matches, where he has performed on big away tours too.
