Yeah I noticed this too! Really explain why India has been doing well off late in the ODI format. Decent sample size too. Shami should be starting ahead of Bhuvi in the XI.

 

Kuldeep Yadav is getting back into his groove. His wickets tally should pick-up as we reach the business end of the tournament and the pitches get slower.

Bowlers >> Batting May be first time our history. Bumrah has been the best every time we are troubled he is the go to man.

Averaging 25 or less was far easier on those days as economy rates were lower. For me, in this era 30 is as good 25 in the 90s or early 2000s.

How times have changed...we are relying more on bowling these days. Our current bowling lineup + 2011 WC batting lineup will win the World Cup comfortably...this current middle order is just a freaking joke. Without Virat, Rohit, this team's batting is just so bad & mediocre. Not much hitting options other than Hardik.

Batting woes are largely due to the idiot selectors who messed up by not trying options for No.4, opener slot and even 5 and 6. Tried to stick with a small group and only kept giving them chances. Irrespective of result, heads need to roll for these blunders.

 

Shreyas Iyer, Mayank Agarwal, Shaw, Gill should have been given more chances. Pant should have been first choice but sent as replacement for Dhawan. They have no clue what they are doing.

They wasted so much time on Rayadu. The same investment in any of the newer players like Pant, Mayank, etc would have yielded good results.

spot on ...dumb asses Shastri & Prasad did a monster blunder by trying to develop an over aged Rayudu. Kohli even made  an emphatic statement on the media midway that  no:4 spot is solved with Rayudu. And now Rayudu is not playing. They should have groomed Iyer or  Mayank Agarwal or Rishab Pant instead

they had made up their mind to keep the nucleus together for the WC.

This Indian bowling attack like the Pak attack that won the CT has the ability to pick up wickets in the middle overs.

 

When you keep taking wickets at regular intervals it is difficult to get big scores.

 

IMO India with this attack should be able to defend 250 or more on a typical pitch.

Australia and RSA 99 were decent as well. 

 

McGrath, Warne, Fleming, Reiffel 

 

Pollock, Donald, Klusner, Kallis, Elworthy

 

But this Indian attack can go down as one of the best in ODI history.

When Dhoni retires he should carry our bowlers on his shoulders because they have been carrying the burden of himself and the rubbish middle order for years

yes, that's true in general. although there are some people with fairly low avgs like rashid khan, ajantha mendis, Fizz who I do not rate that highly. Even if we exclude non-test playing nations, their records are quite good.
