Rohit ... Absolute chicken

[Gollum]

TBH that 2015 QF 100 was pretty clutch. I mean you can always point out and say it was Bangladesh but in 2015 they weren't playing like typical Bangladesh, more like a top 5/6 side. And they proved it when they hammered RSA/Ind//Pak back to back immediately post the WC, moreover they were in high spirits coming to the QF after that famous win over England and Ind/Ban matches have been pretty close in recent times even if stats column may not show. If Rohit is chicken as OP is suggesting so is Kohli and quite a few more. Shed the pessimism/wrist slitting and hope the boys come good. We aren't favorites, so might as well sit back and enjoy the show.

BD game can always be a banana skin game  With our team we should thump them every time. But often we run into a situation where we had to snatch the win from defeat. 

We should thump in theory but in practice last couple of matches were too close for comfort. Had to fight it out to win. It honestly could have gone either way - regardless of b team or a team.

So you're conveniently forgetting India's biggest match winner in WCs who also top scored against Pak in 3 of the 5 games? And how do we reach WC finals, do other teams abandon the game as soon as they see India 

Do you see this guy called "hitman" in there

Nice filters.

 

I am sure in your book, Manjrekar, Robin Singh and Yashpal Sharma are better batsmen in World Cups (as per this new "filter" than Kohli. Totally with you on that
