I want our traditional blue that we have been wearing for rest of the tournament. That’s how it should always be. ICCs rationale for changing colors is as brainless as ICC itself and btw, there is similarity between England shades for this WC and our traditional blue

Up to the players to decide, if they are superstitious we shouldn't force it upon them. We may deem it silly but we aren't the ones going to take the field. Sportsmen do draw strength from faith, spirituality, religion, rituals, superstitions etc...not limited to India.

 

Nadal loses his focus if his bottles aren't in a straight line with labels facing a particular way, Kasparov used to place his Rolex watch in an exact same position on the table, Fischer would flick away imaginary dust off the board, Sachin and his left pad, many Muslim players and their Quran verses, Borg not shaving his beard in majors, Casillas wearing socks inside out etc....upset them there and you throw them off their rhythm. 

 

OP raises a valid point, against a top side like England we can't experiment.

Most cricket players ARE superstitious. That is why I was shocked to see new manhoos uniform in the middle of the tournament.

I assume they will wear orange again in semi final 

No clash of colours are allowed , every country must have a second colour but  for some bizzarre reason the Hosting Country are allowed the one colour .

I think the Blue uniform looks best against our brown/wheatish skin tone than the Orange one. I like the concept of introducing more Orange into the uniform, but with a different shade of the colour and with a better design.

oh grow up  its JUST A JERSEY. It does not magically increase or reduce skill of a player.

 

Personally I like the new away jersey.

Our away kit is our red kit but we get home designation for all games given it's our home world cup.

I know that , the question is why should the Hosting Country get to wear one kit. ?

I would have thought that the amount of crowing you still do about 1966 that you would love red and away kits
