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

 

 

Top 2-3 team in all 3 formats and on that basis top team consolidated across all 3 formats

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

 

 

192 is a very high score, just bcoz one batsman failed to score at a brisk rate you can't claim that our approach was safety first. The bowlers choked heavily and that's why we lost, batting was great, chasing 192 in semifinals is no mean feat. 

 

Yes we didn't score much in 2014, but that was bcoz of Yuvi and Dhoni. Sri Lanka won that cup with a similar approach.

44/7 bowled for a defensive shot lol I can see kohli getting out exactly like this to Rashid.

T20 is mostly won by 2 or 3 individual performances on a particular day. WI got it made twice. We also had two chances in 14 and 16 and didn’t happen. This is only chance Cricket

Thats the thing. If 6 players are trying to hit, there is more chances of 2 coming off than if 3 are trying and 3 playing conservatively

Wish as an ipl 2021 winner csk would have got chance to play in wt20. In coming few years winning ipl would be more prestigious than this phony wt20.

No one gives a damn if you do not win anything. With WTC, even the #1 test ranking is out of the window … Over the course of history, many teams have been too 2-3

On that pitch 192 was not enough. Also i can guarantee neither west indies, nor england nor even Australia would just be 35 for 0 in 5 on that pitch

[vvvslaxman]

If we think 200 runs is par score you are out of your mind. I say 170 is a winning score on any pitch here during day game. Add 10 runs more to night games.

[Nikola]

Why so bad pitches? this gives too much advantage to some teams.

[Norman]

Don't want to face this England team in the knockouts. Bangla boys and Lanka lads should knock them out..

Would be interesting if Eng gets the total in PP

[vvvslaxman]

This is an old squad. Even in the IPL big stars of Windies went missing. Pollard, Russell, Gayle. Pooran.  Only guy who struck form was Hetty. But he was good enough for cameos that's it.

[Austin 3:!6]

Bakwaas pitches...takes away the fun of a world cup.

 

2016 pitches were much better.

[maniac]

WI now will follow Indian approach in power play  

[vvvslaxman]

I doubt Windies will make semis this time. Their bowling is uber crap. If Windies score 220, you can score 221 against that attack.
