I came out of my manhoosiyat,

Thread starter gets a innings victory and an entry into WTC final, top that @zen 

 

I will fight with everyone to start the WTC final match thread. 
 

Thanks to Ashwin, Axar, Pant and Washington 

I still think @zen should open final thread. Away win > home win 

[Suhaan]

I really hope clown breaches the bubble just a day before final and phony Rahane leads us with yet another (once in a blue moon) century and we roast KiWI birds

He will claim the trophy himself if India wins by saying he phoned called Rahane and players every night.

If not for Axar holding one end and complimenting Sundar, India would have got a lead of only 50 runs.

7th wicket fell at 259, genius.

What about Kohli's contribution to the lead?

 

He played a crucial part in India getting the lead. He inspired Stokes to be so angry when bowling to him, that he was so tired by the end of the day.

The worst thing in the aftermath of an Indian win is Shastri unload his bhadaas and fake bravado.

 

Can you believe he felt justified to say they told Pant to lose weight?

How humiliating is that?

 

That kid was fine for the 1st test in Adelaide. They just want to justify their stupidity.

[SRT100]

India's middle order added just 43 runs, Puj, Kohli and Rahane.

 

You wont win a final at Lords with that. Im sorry. Sundar wont even be in the team either.

 

One day, Pant will get out for 0 and so will Hitman. Our batting lineup is just so wrong.

Ashwin+Axar 59 wickets and Axar missed T1

Ishant 6 wickets

Eng 58 wickets

Rest of Indian bowlers 

 

Ashwin+Pant 2 100s

Eng 1, just Root

Sharma 1 though ably guided by Jinx 

Rest of Indians=same as Ishant

 

Most catches Rahane

 

Most 6s Pant

 

10/10 English wickets taken by DC spinners today. After yesterday's blistering 100 by Pant, 2 outstanding catches by Rahane today, one by Pant.

 

emanates light

 

 you all suck, bunch of freeloaders.

 

If IPL GC, BCCI, other franchises...... have conscience (lmao), DC should be directly seeded to the IPL final for invaluable contribution to Indian cricket...Aus series, this series, road to WTC Final.

Kohli only celebrates wickets as it masks his poor batting and if team India wins he remains in power. He really couldnt care less for India to be honest.

 

A good captain, sets a standard and also sets up legacy for when he retires.

 

This buffoon has done neither.

Why do you celebrate IPL here?

 

It makes no sense, especially when you can just buy any player you want. Any team can.

 

I dont care where the players can from as long as they are Indian and win.

Itna bhi serious mat ho jaa

[Yoda-esque]

Win , but nonetheless I feel India are hiding some real problems especially with Pujara Kohli rahane.

Two of those three have to go.

Instead of apologising to Pant, that motormouth has been shamelessly trying to take credit for his  performance since Australia.

The problems are hiding in plain sight. There's no way we can hope to be champions with such a woeful batting lineup. We should pick Shardul as a bowler and push Washie up the order to replace Rahane because Jaddu will be back for the allrounder's spot. Most of our runs will have to come from the lower order. We need to pack it with capable batters - like our own version of Sam Curran.

That semi final is(painful) history but our batting looks all set for another collapse in WTC final with Pant having to do another rescue act!

 

TRUE . This batting in June against NZ attack of Jamieson , Boult , Sothee  etc. in ENG  does not inspire much.  Facing Jamieson in Tests in seam conditions is just like facing 

Axar on a turner . No easy runs at all and always poses  danger at any stage.

There should be some real effort to bat better vs swing . May be go to ENG a month earlier and practice with 2 India teams , which could provide more quality and intensity.

Correct.

 

Pant's wicketkeeping didnt improve overnight. It was always decent, but his confidence was being smashed and torn apart by the TM.

 

They had NO RIGHT to drop him for the 1st test. He performed really well too in the Indian warm up games.

 

So when he was dropped and messed around with, this effected his confidence in keeping.

 

You dont take great catches and perform great stumpings in a matter of weeks, he was always a decent keeper.

Will never happen.

 

Pujara, Kohli and Rahane are immovable objects, except when they meet an unstoppable force like a bowler.

 

I do agree with you, we should replace all three of them, truth be told.

Make no mistake, India wont win the Final at Lords if the pitch assists the fast bowlers.

 

India will go into the game with 3 batsmen short, if they play Pujara, Kohli and Rahane.

 

Just one of these bowlers is good enough. All 3 is like the English facing the combination of Axar and Jaddu on a turner in India from both ends.
