I understand their approach. But at some point you have to put a pause to the approach right? This is basic commonsense.  Once it was 3 down. They should have revisited their approach. 

 

Russell is throwing kitchen sink first ball. No intention to stop the bleeding.

being aggressive is often mistaken for being a kamikaaze and brainless

Can you point out two three instances of this approach costing us a knockout match? 

World cup 2014 final. We scored 134 in 20 overs. Rohit set the tone with 26 ball 29. Sri lanka chased with ease. 

 

World t20 2016 semis. On one of the flattest pitches we were 35 after 5 overs after opening with sharma and rahane. We ended up making 192 thanks to kohli ls masterclass which was not enough 

 

Just last 2 world cups

This approach might work in the next match may be. But they bank on this strategy working in important matches.

Maybe because they know 120 is equal losing score as 80? So rather try winning than "honroable" defeat?

did you watch that match or the scoreboard. Did you see it was difficult to hit from ball 1 on that pitch?
 

So how did the lower middle order too that game ?

Or a bad match


WI struggled in warm up games too … they might strike form but in this tournament you play major teams first so it could be over once they hit their strides :dontknow:

Pakistan won a world T20 purely with their bowling (chucker, afridi and Gul) Younis khan was the captain. There are two ways you can win. One with great bowling or great batting.

That was 12 years ago, lots of things have changed. For eg, our 2011 approach wont win a ODI world cup today

One thing is clear WI have no idea how to set a total.  They'll be more dangerous chasing I think.  They basically won the last two KO's of 2016 chasing the total & even that 2012 final.

What a bakwas tournament. I din't watch this year ipl regularly due to slow pitches. But other than SRH, rest all teams played way better in than these international teams. Lode ka wt20.

Why are the consolidating now then? :hmmm:

 

Might as well 4 swipes as they have 4 wickets in hand. Or are they trying to take it to 20

overs now?

Yet sri lanka chased it easily. So what was the point of going for just 134 ? You lose either way

Always find amusing to read about tactics from fans of teams that haven’t won anything recently :lol: 

 

Reminds me of BD fans who come to every WC as if their team is the champ

Great bowling still matters. IT was Malinga's brilliant execution of pin point wide yorkers in the final that won them the match. Looking at the pitches  so far this time it not going to be high scoring as we think.
