Austin 3:!6 Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 Most teams that are chasing are losing the matches so far in this world cup. Yet we see time and again captains winning the toss and opting to bowl first. Once or twice can be considered as a mistake but how is that most captains repeating same mistakes again and again? Sarfraz won the toss and opted to bowl. Kohli would have bowled first aparently in that game too. The result turn out to be in favour of team batting first. Bangladesh decided to bowl first against Eng and faced heavy defeat. Afg won the toss and opted to bowl first against BD and faced defeat. SL won the toss and decided to bowl first against Aussies and faced heavy defeat. And today, Eng won a good toss and allowed Australia to bat first. Lol. And Aussies are cruising towards a huge score. What is going on? Why captains acting so dumb? Why are they not learning lessons even after 3 weeks of the tournament? WIN THE DAMN TOSS AND BAT THE PHUCK UP Why so difficult to understand? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Gollum and New guy 2
Austin 3:!6 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Posted June 25, 2019 I think our beloved kaptaan will win the toss and opt to bowl first in semi finals Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Gollum 1
G_B_ Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 i totally agree Opening batsman have learnt to ride out the tide.
Austin 3:!6 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Posted June 25, 2019 i totally agree Opening batsman have learnt to ride out the tide.Think captains are getting carried away with overcast conditions. But its an ODI tournament and England these days offer only flat pancakes. Why did Eng bowl first today when just 2 days ago SA was struggling to chase on the same venue??Baffling tactics. Anyway...good bye England...see you in 2023.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk G_B_ 1
Stuge Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 Chasing is always difficult under pressure in big tournament.Most teams fail to do so ..Yet ,they never learn the same ., Austin 3:!6 1
WC2011INDIA Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Maybe it is all fixed as i refuse to believe that every captain is a chutiya. Edited June 25, 2019 by WC2011INDIA Norman, Gollum and Stuge 3
Asim Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 They get defensive watching overcast conditions thinking they can face a collapse batting first + they somehow feel they can take few early wickets, didn't happened though except Pak vs WI game... Austin 3:!6 1
putrevus Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Big matches, it is always better to lose toss in my opinion.2003 finals also Ganguly won the toss and elected to field on a very flat wicket, Kohli did same thing in 2017. Edited June 25, 2019 by putrevus Austin 3:!6 1

Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Not just that, while chasing 330-350, the team batting second bats as if they are batting first and focus on preserving wickets than going hell for leather. They fall behind so much by the half way stage itself that no amount of climbing is enough get them out of the hole. Austin 3:!6 and philcric 2

Yes, but clearly chasing in the world cup is a different beast. in the history of world cup few sides have won chasing Chalks, GoldenSun and Ankit_sharma03 3
