Bumped, again these duffers went with two spinners on a seaming track against a team which is OK with spinners  Ravi shastri and dhoni are hopeless

Good work there.

New Zealand team in the T20 worldcup played with three spinners against us and they won easily. Yes the might Indians who are known to give nightmares to Warnes and muralis. Our strategies our preparation our knowledge of opposition pitches is almost like Bangladesh of mid 2000s. Playing spinners blindly. Imagine a genuine third seamer picking a wicket or two after 8th over. We may not have won but atleast given a fight.

Very strange decision to play 2 front-line pacers on this track.

But still, if they can play 3 specialist pacers even on a seaming wicket they wont ever win a WC outside the subcontinent where pitches wont favour spin. Im afraid to  say it but the emergence of Pandya has lulled india into a fasle of security with these arrogant selections.

m just talking about todays game, ideally we shud play 3 seamers overseas and look to have power hitter cum spinners like krunal  or gowtham  as 2nd spinner. As far as this series is concerned we only have kaul in the wings and he is a trundler

That part is a relief  .... but it also reflects the mindset of this team regarding 3 frontline seamers on helpful tracks
