This feels like 2007 Cricket World Cup all over again

I don't really take T20 WC seriously (not sounding like VK!).  The real deal is the Men's 50 Over WC.

 

This can be a bit of a fluke tournament generally as we found out in 2016 final. So with our team, we may not actually win it even if we get to SF.

2007 had two world cups - ODI and T20s 

 

With Ind, off late, it has been the pattern where the top order bat for long in warm ups and/or against lesser teams, and come out a cropper when it matters :((

Plus the stupid toss factor. We lose all the important tosses.

I really hate the fact that the 2023 Men's WC will be in Oct timeframe in India. That promises to be another disadvantageous tournament wrt Toss playing a crucial role.

Drained body language, lack of enthusiasm. 

 

Let's hope they get their mojo back.

Actually lets hope that the aftermath will be similar to 2007. Kick the washed up players out and get in fresh blood

Is it, really? Well we're not winning that one if it's held during peak dew seasons!
