Sehwag is the ultimate beast. I miss him.

I’ve mentioned earlier... I see Sehwag batting in Jason Roy... Minimum feet movement, excessive bottom hand... the patta shots on leg side...

I miss him too...

Batting Coach Sanjay Bangar could be sacked by BCCI. Reading News Ticker on NDTV...

    Aur ek Bali ka bakra mila . Why only assistant coach ? Why not head coach & Kaptaan .

    SF loss was more about bad  team selection and even more bad batting position allocated and bad execution . 

    Only 1 issue they had to execute well , that was survive 10 overs once they saw the movement . 

     I do not think Bangar was the culprit for these.

It’s quite common practice to sacrifice the lower rank scapegoats to protect the influential ones...

 

I'm sure there will be more questions asked and some heads will roll at the top...

Miss Yuvraj and gambhir.... big match players.... biggest match winners ever for Indian ODI team.. Kohli performances are moot if he does not perform in key moments... I would strip Kohli out of captaincy... no way you want someone who chokes in most semifinals and finals... bekaaar player...

drop Rahul,Kartik,Kedar,Dhoni . Bring in Mayank,Shaw,Gill & Pant,Anmolpreet Singh & some promising left hander.

 

Promote Jadeja up the order.Has been saying this for a while now. He can be the  no:6 for India in ODIs .

Indian cricket management and players don't have that culture or appetite to change, it's very very very risk averse

Its only thanks to Lalit Modi's vision IPL happened, BCCI morons were busy trying to kill T20

 

When has India ever revolutionised the game

WI did it, Aus in 2000s did it, SL through 1996 WC and now England

 

Heck how many int Indian batsmen are capable playing reverse hits and switch hits for sixes, Still India yet to produce 150 kph bowler

 

To revolutionise you need backing from grassroots to Indian national team management 

 

Even after 2011-2012 white washes in England and Australia, things have hardly changed, batsmen still struggle against swing, bounce and pace on lively pitches. 

 

Mediocre is all we can settle for with Indian cricket relative the resources and player pool at disposal 

 

It was just sickening to watch DK, Pant, Pandya as our middle order in a WC SF, none average 40 plus, none of them have an ODI century

 

 

As you said, we always were an run-of-the-middle team, and we will remain this way. There were only 10 teams in this WC and we finished at 4 (or 3 maybe if there was a losers final). being 4 out of 10 is the very definition of mediocrity.

 

The word comes to English via Middle French from the Latin word mediocris, meaning "of medium size, moderate, middling, commonplace"

 

Therefore, let us embrace and celebrate this mediocrity because we will not get anything much better in the near-future.
