16 - 1 is really pathetic tbh. 

Atleast like 10-6 is somewhat understandable if they have an overall h2h superior to us but this is a God awful record. 

 

Even if we are 50 30 in bikaterals, I would give a damn if the icc record says 16-1. 

 

Bilateral wins are basically friendlies. It's like a coppa italia

A fa cup

A fodder copy del ray cup type format. 

 

Icc world cup is like champions league. 

 

The H2H reflects a bygone era from 2-3 decades ago. It's like WI thumping their chest about better H2H record against us... nobody cares. Time has moved on. It's about ICC tourneys, IPL and the series against Aus and Eng. What do you even gain with the H2H record in this day and age?

I get your point.  But just for record, in H2H,  India has higher win tally than Windies in ODI & T20.   Only in tests, Windies tally is higher.

See how pointless these stats are that I assumed WI would have a higher H2H based on 80s and 90s

Ask any pommy. Always will gloat about that 2012 test series win in India. Pieterson etc Vaughan too. 

 

That's their greatest victory along with the ashes. Infact winning that series in 2012 was seen as a greater achievement at the time. 

 

I am just saying bilaterals don't mean crap. It's like masters in tennis. No one cares how many masters titles you win.

 

How many grand slams have you won???

 

Indi have thrashed Pakistan like 15 -1 or 16-1 in grand slam equivalent events

 

Pak only won in bilaterals equivalent of masters which is a lower tier tourney that no one really gives any attention to.

We are almost caught up with w.indies in tests no?

It's like 30 22 now

 

In 5 years I think it will be gone for w.indies

 

I dont recall them even winning a test match for a long time. 

 

Soon we should overtake SA as well. It's 17 15 I believe. Good luck to them when they tour India. Would be a bloodbath. 

 

Only one we will find hard to catch is England who secured plenty of weak wins in amateur era that no one cares about in 60s and 50s. Also Australia did the same. 

 

Although with Aussies i think it's a lot closer now. 42 32 I think.

But we have won more bg series.

Cummins can go for 30 run overs but there will be one wicket or a couple of deliveries in there that will be a game changer. Clutch player. Always a threat 

[Rightarmfast]

SKY is a needlessly hyped player.

Wait ... why?

 

He came in and scored at nearly 200 SR today against a full strength Ozzie attack. If every one in our top order made 30-40 in 15-20 balls, it would serve the team well.

[Ravi_Shastri]

Surprisingly good innings from sky. 
I was expecting a 12 ball 10 from him as Cummins knows his weakness. Short cutters at shoulder height outside offstump on these sluggish wickets... Good knock from World No 1 Batter

Choked in odi 2023 wc. But clutch performance yesterday. Good stuff. If he does it against England than it would be sweet.

I thought he played well yesterday. Ended up playing a cameo, but it was helpful in keeping the momentum and run rate of 10. 

[vvvslaxman]

He took a good catch. On the field provides reasonable energy.

He is not suited for ODIs.  Tries too many things when it is time to pick bad balls or play according to the situation. He is perfect for high risk game like T20s

Absolufu-ckingly true! He timed his jump extended only one hand and the ball came and got stuck in his hands like he had put fevicol on his hands. What an amazing catch and moment of the match!

Guy who dropped 38 catches in the last 5 years for India.

He is an X factor player. You should back him always in T20. We were a bit harsh on him because of his failures against a certain green minnow team.  You don't back players when he has obvious weaknesses like Dube.
