Hope not, Hasan the shortie trundler  will be an easy prey for Indian batters, hope they will play Husnain , pace does matter. 

Not really. Rayf bauf husnoon etc are all phattu bowlers. Pace alone means nothing. That's why they are termed phaast trundlers.

Boy or girl? 

Its a national shame that he is about 6months pregnant.

 

While I do troll Kohli a lot, credit to him for maintaining strong toned body. It would be very easy for him to enjoy "comfort foods" and indulge especially now at the end of his career.

 

A lot of our cricketers still are "out of shape" imo and there needs to be a better fitness coach to get them in shape. Its well supported that being in shape and having strength and cardio will help you perform at your best. Some may say it makes very little difference and I would argue even a 5% improvement would be a significant improvement.

 

Just think of how many T20's are lost by fewer than 6 runs.

 

It really begins when these guys travel. How do I know? Ive eaten at wonderful Indian restaurants in England and across Australia regularly. What really shocks me though, is there number of Indian cricketers that have eaten at the same places. Pictures/signed bats etc etc adorn their walls. The "westernized version" of Indian food is not the food of champions.

Pictures etc don't mean they have eaten there..could be pure marketing.

Unless Chahar gets swing upfront, he is completely useless with the ball. He doesn't offer anything else. 

 

Another thing while he may be effective here in UAE for about 2 overs. In Aus I can't even imagine him doing anything. He will be lined up with his 125 KPH good length bowling.

Rohit, Virat, SKY, Pant, Hardik, Hooda, DK, Axar, BK, Arshdeep, Chahal....

 

Or 

 

Rohit, Virat, SKY, Pant, Hardik, Axar, DK, BK, Arshdeep, Chahal, Bishnoi....

 

Second team is agressive on the bowling options, give Bish the new ball with Bhuvi

Hope we bat first

 

Don't want toss help. Win the hard way

Bat first and as usual tuk tuk our way to a match-winning (for the opposition) total? Not looking forward to that at all.

Not the idea. Bat first and try the aggressive approach. It's going to look foolish if we win the toss and bat first. So we better lose the toss today.

Pak bowling attack on fire.  Imagine Rahul's state of mind when he walks out to bat today, rabbit in the headlights look comes to mind.

Hope he decides to take them on since the survival method doesn't work.

Okay, got it. Losing the toss will hopefully force us into an aggressive approach. I hope at-least two of the top 3 play well today.

He was praising Pak attack but said ours are not flashy but get the job done.  Sums up the safety first mindset.  Let's see if they deliver at least Asia cup forget about WT20.

He meant was speed looks glamorous but doesnt mean the ones with less speed arent effective. 

Its not safety our speed guys currently arent that effective. Reality is guys like arshdeep, bhuvi, deepak , harshal has delivered. At the end performance matters , speed is exciting but result matters

Well I have seen one restaurant in Adelaide who had frame an actual bill of Virat Kohli's take away order. But his training regime and discipline is so freakish that he is able to maintain fitness even at later stage of his career.
