Hope we play at least the tests, ODIs/T20s who cares?

 

I'd like to see the ODIs/Tests more than the test series which will be heavily one-sided.

Don't quite agree. Yeah Cook was there but this his downfall started from this series and. Apart from Root no-one were consistent run getters. Stokes was good but nowhere near his current self.

Don't think Root was better than Kohli. He was getting 60s and 70s (he still does) but zero big impactful knocks.

 

They will get blown out. India are ruthless at home. They will be motivated to destroy the poms anyway.

If India England series doesn't take place , NZ would be through to WTC Finals. 

 

India needs to win one more test in Australia to secure their spot in the finals in case India-England series doesn't take place.

Why wouldn't it take place?

[Gollum]

If Eng doesn't tour India we shouldn't go there either in Aug. Enough with all boards milking us for $$$.

This is correct.  If ENG series is cancelled then it's win the last AUS test and go to the finals or lose / draw the last AUS test and stay home.  Win the last test and both IND and NZ have PCT of 0.700.  First tiebreaker is number of series won, both IND and NZ have 3 series wins.  Second tiebreaker is RpW and IND has comfortable lead.

30 pointttttsssss.

 

India at 390 now. Much much needed. 390/540 now.

Australia 326/420. They drop below 80% now.

So 15 points for us.. 

 

India at 405/570 (71.05%) and Aus at 341/450 (75.78%)

 

[rageaddict]

Not 15 , only 10. 15 points are for a Tie India on 400 points now..

[rageaddict]

400/570 x 100 = 70.1 %

 

India still has to win the next test to be on the safer side.

Draw in next match is also good. Then we need to win 3 matches vs England.

Is there any way we can knock Australia out?

If we beat them and they lose 1 test against South Africa.

tbh I am more worried about NZ in WTC final than Aus.. jamieson is on legendary debut streak now and southee-boult-wagner are the type of bowlers that can wreck havok in england.

 

But watching Aussie team get knocked out of almost guaranteed final will also be very funny. don't know what to root for 

[putrevus]

If they lose next test  what are India options to reach finals.

[G_B_]

I think 4-0 v England is the only option if we lose the next test...

 

Truth is NZ with these micky mouse 2 test series in which they limit their injuries have gamed the system.

 

 

[AuxiliA]

If we lose the Gaba test, we have to win 4-0 vs Eng to qualify. 

 

If we draw, then 3-0.(3 wins, no loss allowed) 

 

If we win, then 3-1 (3 wins, 1 loss allowed)
