BERGKAMP Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 First time in my life I actively want India to lose a test match/series Alcoholic narcissist Shastri needs to be permanently removed from anything to do with the team, and egotistical Kohli also must be fired from test match captaincy to let him put all his energy into becoming one of the great all time batters We need a forward thinking modern coach who can help players adjust and tweak techniques to combat the different conditions and challenges they will face in different parts of the world Also we need a captain who prioritises only the team being the best it can be and not see newcomers as being threats to commercial earnings outside cricket Switchblade, Adi BB, wanted_desi and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment
Geoff Boycott Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Slight overreaction there It was a hammering, but the conditions couldn't have been better for England The first test was one of the best tests I've seen for ages, India could have won it. Let's see where things are after Trent Bridge. Edited August 13, 2018 by Geoff Boycott Link to comment
kosingh Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 If 5-0 loss changed things, maybe. Nothing will change. So take all the wins and draws we can get. There will not be many. beetle 1 Link to comment
WeStMiDz Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Very knee jerk. Competed in all 3 tests in SA, competed in the first test here. Boys were demoralised by the extreme conditions they faced in the first innings and couldn't recover mentally. Let's wait and see how they respond. Link to comment

prasen82 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I second this. Maybe start a twitter campaign.and start clapping for every indian wicket in trent bridge. I am more worried about world cup due to this team management and probably we can salvage something if we get a 5-0 loss. Link to comment
AmreekanDesi Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Why do you think a 5-0 would make aNY difference when previous disastrous yours to Eng and Aus haven't? Link to comment
prasen82 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Because we were never thrashed so bad. Losing inside 2.5 days. And no 50 other than kohli century. Link to comment
wanted_desi Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Bewda won T20, its already a successful tour in his mind. Won T20 --> Check Holiday Weather --> Check Daru on Point --> Check Promoted a shitty brand drink --> Check Took Nap during day --> Check Served Kohli and Anuksha --> Check Link to comment

rkt.india Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Will always support Indian team. Even in 90s when England were at its weakest, we could not beat them. It was never going to be easy against this bowling attack in those conditions. Our only hope was Broadandu coming back from injury may not be that effective, may not be that consistent but all those thoughts vanished in the first test itself. Switchblade 1 Link to comment

Should have won SA series...Did compete well but a series defeat is a defeat. Especially when you had the chance to win it. This is series is even worse. As you said the first test was close because luck was on our side. They dropped more chances than us, but we didn't capitalize. You know what happened when luck is not there in the second test. .

While we are supportive of the players but do you think they care about it?I don’t see them trying to correct their mistakes or at least showing some fight out in the middle.Like you I have always seen them getting blown away from home in the 90’s and even this time I knew while they were bad we are worse due to our past history but at least they should feel the disappointment of defeats not asking them to cry or lock themselves in a room but they are cancelling practice sessions and traveling individually no pride at all representing your country?
