Gollum Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 After this painful ass whooping I want us to play a full series against them (3 test, 5 odis, 3 t20s) in UAE. Badla chahiye, what about you guys? If we can break their fortress in the test series that will negate today's embarrassment . Do you think it is possible under present circumstances? Will NDA allow an Indo-Pak series in a neutral country in the near future? sandeep, Iconoclast and Singh bling 3
I6MTW Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 doesn't matter. No series is going to reverse the damage done here. Its going to take another icc final(ideally wc) for us to extract revenge for this loss. Maybe 2019 wc win over Pak will be sweet but that's asking too much for now. Sidhoni 1
Tibarn Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 I rather not. There are important reasons, reasons beyond cricket, that we don't play them in series. Just let them have their fun with today's win and the outdated H2H record. Cricket is just a game. Switchblade and Shunya 2
Adi_91 Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Don't want to play this country. They still continue to sponsor terror. Switchblade 1
Sandeep99 Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Even if we whop them in all matches, it's not going to equal this. Have to say they struck when it mattered. Waiting for 2019 WC. Sidhoni 1
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Chances of we meeting them in a final are going to be bleak. Loha garam tha, hathoda maar diya unhone
Lannister Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 As for me, the answer is no. They still need to sort out their country, until then let's just keep all the bilateral ties off for now. Switchblade 1
Rasgulla Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Not until we get new captain... things can get worse CG 1
maniac Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 NO...I was against playing this stupid champions trophy to begin with and this is like icing on a cake made with crap Adi_91 and Switchblade 2

It's a miracle how he even managed to survive with hat crappy technique.
eternalhope Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 We will beat them 8 out of 10 games. But still we will lose 2 and that could be any day and unfortunately it turned out to be today. Isn't that uncertainty the reason we watch cricket. The thrill of unpredictability. It will feel bad for a bit, but that is sport. No need of knee-jerk reactions. India is still a better team. Some obvious changes have to be wrung in to be better prepared for 2019 WC. Dhoni, UV, Jadeja and Ashwin have to make way for the replacements to get good enough time and experience. Adi_91 1

Sidhoni Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Got to say even our WC streak no longer feels that effective. What does it signify? - We win the matches that matter? Well this one mattered more than most of them.

I have been saying this ever since the SL game. Champions Trophy is merely a tournament to assess who stands where at the midpoint of two WC tournaments. It stands for nothing otherwise. Teams that have won it have not necessarily won the following WC. Only Australia being the exception, but then in 2007, they were a champion side.
