Post WC I want this batting order in ODIs, with 4 years experience it will be a killer unit by 2023 WC. 

 

KLR

Pant

Gill

Kohli

Iyer

Last year our fast bowlers  Umesh , Sid Kaul and Shardul Thakur against this same English side that too at Trent bridge got England for 268. 

 

Meanwhile these self proclaimed best bowlers have given away 380 . 

Rameez was hinting on air that Amir was faking his injury after seeing a flat pitch

Agree. But that wasn't my point.

@SK_IH stated that we don't have players of that quality. But apart from Butler, no one in this England side is unmatchable. 

These guys are beastly and powerful. We had Raina, Yuvraj, inform Mahi back then. We have players who can execute shots. But without taking risks? I doubt. We are not as reliable hitters as English guys or West Indians. Karthik can accelerate from the word go. But that happens rarely. Pandya is the only one who can match them shot for shot. Another guy is Rohit batting in 40th over. That also rarely happens. Our strength lies elsewhere. We are good in the middle overs. That is why we score a lot of 300 plus runs. Our biggest problem is the utter lack of depth. We only have phony all-rounders like Jadeja in the backend.  We should bat based on our strength. Trying to ape their batting will be disastrous.

I still can't fathom to this day how this gully  cricket hack fecker zaman scored that 100 against us. 

[vvvslaxman]

This David willey swings a lot. But he only bowls at 81 mph.

Kohli went on the defensive from first ball. we were treating him like viv Richards

[vvvslaxman]

England bowling is crap though lol

[vvvslaxman]

WIlley is operating at 128 kph

[nitinbwj]

I have seen Ashwin making a fool of butler in IPL and otherwise and apart from him i dont see any destruction anywhere.Also,their bowling is CRAP.

[vvvslaxman]

Shane watson will love facing David willey lol

[nitinbwj]

Eng will have to score these 350 runs everytime as their bowling is atrocious.

[Norman]

Man these Pakistani batters are so boring. 

No one in the line up can do atleast a quarter of what butler did. 

[Norman]

Max they will score a boring 260 or something or hole out for 160.

England has the worst economy rate since WC 2015

[Norman]

Saw Germany vs Belgium on cricbuzz. 

Got all excited to see some Mullers or Hazards playing cricket. 

All I found was Vijayshankar chikkanaiya in Germany and a whole bunch of Alis , khans and syeds.

England need Archer at the WC otherwise they wouldn't win the Cup

[vvvslaxman]

Toothless bowling. wow. Archer was the one who caused problem in the first match. It also gives us a reason to include a genuine quick. We need genuine quicks to snuff out these Subcontinent sides. NOne of these teams are comfortable against raw pace.

It's hack facker's day today
