BeautifulGame Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 People talking about that final washout in 2002. No way we were favourites lol Srilanka beat that scary Aussie team to reach final .We got kinda lucky against SA in semi (Gibbs injury). And chaaing in Colombo then was practically impossible .So Srilanka were always favourite to win the final imo. Link to comment

Sri Lanka beat OZ because the pitch aided their spinners and OZ batsmen tried to bat too aggressively. Would not have worked against us and we would've beaten SL quite comfortably.

Sehwag and ganguly were in top form. We had good players of spin. I don't think 230 was a good score on that wicket. We almost lost the match against South Africa. We came back because of brilliant fielding from yuvraj. Our spinners applied pressure on Rhodes and Kallis and they couldn't score at a good rate. Dippenar helped our cause.

Ultimate_Game Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 The target was actually 226 in CT against SL and I would back India to chase such a total. Link to comment

The first washout we had to 245 and we were 14-0 in 2 overs and in the second washout we needed 223 and we were 38-1 in 8.4 with Dinesh Mongia the opener out and Sehwag and Sachin at the crease.

Gambit Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 The best all-around performance by an Indian in CT has to be Tendulkar making 141 against Aus (after India were 8/2) and then taking 4 wickets in the 1998 quarter final. BeautifulGame and Shunya 2 Link to comment

By a long distance.Not just Indian doubt anyone else has bettered it either. Jadeja was awesome that day as well Link to comment
BeautifulGame Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 The Sachin 142 against Aussies in 98 CT The previous Knock out format was much better than this Round robin format. Shunya and Gambit 2 Link to comment
Stuge Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 There was a reserve day. And the game got washed away both days. I meant to say they should have continued from where they left the previous day . Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk Link to comment

Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk Yep they should have.It was pretty much well predicted that thunder storms will arrive in the evening. But stupid icc rules meant they had to start as a fresh game. Ironically I think the rule came in after our match against England in 99wc.There the match was continued the next day where it was left off. Stuge 1 Link to comment

We had the same rule earlier too that the match has to be started afresh on the reserve day. The new rule to continue from where it was left was introduced in WC 99. However, this innovation was mostly criticized as the conditions don't remain same on two days. The advantage of toss gets nullified. So ICC got back to the old rule of start the game all over again on reserved day. Link to comment

He was never able to win series over series even after having upper hand in few- Zimb, Aus, WI were examples. Atleast dravid won a series in Eng, WI(which i wnt count as they were becoming really poor) He did his share of extreme blunders. So when he singlehandedly gets credit and calling him best captain is glorifying to much He had it won against the Aussie invincibles of course bucknor disliked Indian team so gave 5-8 decisions against them in a few sessions and made them loose rest is history Link to comment
