Something that bothered me is, the English really targeted the short boundary and even played unorthodox shots to target the boundary. I didn’t see India even try to do this, what kind of stupidity is this?

Indian batsman are traditional devoid of any innovation. Only Pant is somewhat eccentric

Not easy. The pitch has slowed down drastically by then. And slowler balls are almost impossible to hit. It is not like we are playing in chinnaswamy with dew in outfield. Forget about India, no batting line up in the world would have won that match in that situation against such a good Fielding team.

Then drop kedar and dhoni

If they can score only 70 in last 10 over.

Bring kartik in place jadhaw and pant will keep in place of dhoni

We don't want these excuses in semi or final

They tried that against our spinners only.

WTH was Kohli & his tattus were doing, short boundaries weren't pulled in after the toss! He's brain dead as ever

Toss and Mohammed shami. The guy has played Ipl and so much international cricket  but don't have iota of knowledge of death bowling. He was bowling knee high full tosses at gentle pace in the zone to stokes. No attempt for wide ball Yorkers, slower balls etc.we really miss today Bhuvi bowling 

This is a valid point. Shami bowled lot of shyt balls today. He is getting wickets but gave too many runs in the death today. He was cartered. For someoem taking wickets, his confidence should be hihh.

 

Also Chahal looked toothless tofday. Bumrah again was our best bowler.

 

Dhoni was shyr scared to even try to win. He probably asked Pandua and Jaddu to not worry about the chase too.

The same pair managed to pull back the scores to just 12 run difference in 37th over

Its not that easy to come and hit from ball one. Pandua was trying but not able to timr easily later because its not video game. Part of the blame csn go to Rohit even though he scored a good knock.

Conclusion

Actually good for India to suffer this loss now whilst we still have time to sort out the issues- otherwise another win would have further swept it under the carpet. 

This weakness in the middle order has been known for a long time,you can say that the loss is good for India only if TM finds a way to fix the problem,with the squad we have I'm not even sure that is possible

 

All in all,the only thing this game did is confirm our fears that we will lose in a batting shootout and pray that we get some tracks conducive to spin in the knockouts

YOU CANNOT be at 27/1 aft 10 chasing 330+....majority blame on brohit...who was just playing for his century

Wasted 100 balls in a big chase. If Ind was setting a target, it would have been an acceptable inning

Shami had poor match agreed but so did chahal and kuldeep. Bumrah bowled great but when he did that? In death overs. If bumrah is your lead bowler then he has to take early wickets as well.

Hard for Bumrah to strike with the way teams are playing him. They are too watchful against him

and not playing shots to him.

In our history, probably barring Yuvraj, Ganguly and may be Raina i haven't seen anybody hitting sixes to square leg

This is too orthodox,those guys used to rip spinners with their batting back in pre t20 era

These guys have regressed to a new low they bat in test match mode ,no innovative shots,no power,too much method

100 runs and 7 wickets in hand, India would have taken that anyday.

 

yet we lacked intent and lost all momentum in those last 10 overs. How they didnt target Rashid was shocking!! That killed the contest 

100+ in last 10 overs is 80/20 in favor of bowling side and that too on that slow pitch, its almost impossible. But even after the slow start, Rohit and Kohli managed to get India back in the game but got out when they should have kicked on. Pant and Hardik also got out at the wrong time. India also probably gave 30 runs more than par score because spinners were ineffective.

Exactly. the game on the bating side was lost in first 10. India was never in the chase at all. I am all fo playing sensibly in first 10 but chasing 337 you cannot score 26 in first 10. More like 45 atleast . that difference was the margin in the end.

If you lose 2 or 3 wickets in first 10 overs of a chase, there would be 0% chance. The slow start was because batsmen were trying to get used to the pace of the pitch which was quite uneven. Once they got set, Rohit and Kohli managed to form a good partnership. Only problem was none of them manage to kick on and got out at the wrong time.

133 dot balls in Indian Innings i.e 22.1 Maiden Overs,,,,,

Team watch starc as well but he still gets wickets instead of being economical in death overs.

yes agree u dont want to be 2 or 3 down in first 10 but when chasing 337 you ened to have a decent start. The partnership between Kohli and Rohit though good had pushed the rate to 8. Scoring at 8 for 35 overs if extremely difficult even for these 2

True...the flip side though, is that if not for his middle overs spell we could have been chasing 360+

 

If not Yorkers he needs to learn to vary his pace better. Hardik did that well today

Game was lost when Pak won against AFG...

Game was lost when MoFo Dhoni “advised” Kohli to not take the DRS...
