    Forever Indian reacted to The Realist in How much should Karun make for dear cricket to give him one more chance   
    Karun Flair needs a last hurrah @maniac
     
    Kohli got 5 years of failing. Ditto Pujara and Rahane.
     
    Justice for Karun.

    Do not know full backdrop and the conversation of this. 
     
    But thats where Ind players are not honest to even themselves, they keep playing way past their prime.
    In Karun's case he should have know that this was his last chance, if he does well he gets to play more and will be dropped if he does not. The rope will always be a shorter one for him.
     
    And it was not like bad batting conditions, those were flat pitches where every1 got runs, he was given a favourable spot too.
    There are multiple players eying for a spot in Ind team.

    Forever Indian reacted to Ultimate_Game in PCB chief & ACC Prez Mohsin Naqvi has refused to courier the Asia Cup trophy to India, doubling down on his demand for an in-person handover   
    Why is anyone bothered about the trophy? Who really cares about it? All that matters is that we won and beat them 3 times while doing so.
     
    I say let the trophy remain there. Every time Pak looks at the trophy they'll be reminded of the 0-3 record and how they were hammered 3 straight Sundays

    Bowling toh do pehle. 
     
    Was our best spinner against NZ last year, comfortably outbowled Jadeja in England. 
     
    Bowling average 30, SR 54 is quite good considering he has played more than half his games in spin unfriendly wickets of Eng and Aus. 
     
    No concern whatsoever, he is a certainty in the XI irrespective of conditions. Ceiling is also very high, clutch af.

    Forever Indian got a reaction from The Hound in Someone explain DLS to me. It seems to be a joke with a target of 113 when the team batting first scored 131!   
    DLS takes into account a lot of things and prime amongst that is how many wickets were lost at time of rain break. So in this case England were 79/7 in a 50 over game when rain break happened, so had it continued it is very likely they would have been allout for less than 150 in 50 overs game. Now when game gets reduced for both teams and Pakistan is also reduced overs, in order to not disadvantage Pakistan the 150 is reduced to cater to the reduced overs they need to face.
     
    Had Engalnd been 79/3 instead of seven down, the score would have been way higher because they had the wickets to end closer to 250 for example.
     
    DLS may not be perfect but it is the best of what we have for now. Now that AI is booming Cricket should start using that for these score revisions/predictions.

    This is what has been put on Espncricinfo Commentary section:
    "A fair few messages asking how and why the target is less than England scored? It is because England's innings was wrecked before the rain came, and therefore the loss of overs was actually to their advantage, as they were able to play more aggressively on the resumption, knowing that they didn't have to survive for 25 overs. Had they continued in a 50-over game from 79 for 7, they might well have been bowled out more cheaply."

    Also bowling resources get messed up  as the allocation of overs get changed. Just incase if you had bowled too many overs of your death bowler early on you probably will miss the advantage of using them in the backend. It is pretty complex.

    They were supposed to be halwa team in 2023 world cup too, they ended winning that and then WTC. I would not under estimate Aussies in any world cup.

    Forever Indian reacted to StraightDrive26 in Sundar Supremacy Supporters Unite!   
    Sundar should be backed and he can easily play as a specialist batter. He will give you few overs overseas and can be main spinner at home. He has shown great temperament so far in his short career.

    Not as much abuse as Gambhir would have got and his CV would have looked damn bad with 3 straight Test series losses!
     
    Just look at the celebrations and how Gambhir looked like a man who just got news that he saved his million dollar job!

    I liked the way Sundar handled Jadeja's fake run starts. He literally turned his face/body to other side and not even looked at Jaddu when there was No run!
