Let’s be honest, This World Cup was lost the minute the squad was announced


Recommended Posts

Lmao what a joke of a squad, 4-5 trundlers selected for pitches offering pace and bounce :laugh: Ashwin coming out of nowhere to claim Bishnoi/Kuldeep’s spots, idiots like KL and Yuzi being persisted with for no reason even after outputting failure upon failure. Shami another person suddenly coming out of nowhere into the main squad. Only 2-3 actual t20/LOI specialists in Hardik, Arshdeep and SKY. 
 

Thanks god we beat Pak in the first game somehow and crashed out before giving them a chance to take revenge :giggle:

So why is Pakistan in the final then?

 

Another jhola chhap expert. 

they are in final coz of South africa choked in group match against NL like us, but they atleast had a better team openers and fast bolwers heck even shamsi in T20 is way better then what our spinners are.

Bcos pak is a team built for t20. But highly inconsistent... Let's look

Their openers are as useless as ours and their Shan masood is an anchor too.. they play a stale type of game similar to ours

But in Harris ifthikar Asif Ali..they have six hitters with zero technique but atleast play fearlessly without brain.

Then they have got two spinners who are good fielders and better batsmen with better bowling performance than our spinners

 

The fast bowling. Is fearsome.... Afridi is back to his best, Harris nassim and wasim...they all bowl 140 plus and are hostile... Can they be carted..ofcourse everyone can be hit in t20... But can they take a wicket without needing swing or helpful pitch... You bet they can and that's why they are a superior team to ours in t20... In longer format...their lack of pedigree is apparent but in t20..honestly their team is superior or at worst equal to ours.... That is apparent in the closely fought games in recent times... They are inconsistent but a more exciting team than ours

SF exit is fine for this team. We didn't make Asia Cup final either and last year's World Cup was dreadful . Just the way we played against NZ was humiliating to watch . 

I think we played exactly like that match except pandya saved us from complete and utter humiliation..this defeats falls squarely on Kohli and Rohit...Rahul got out early...Rohit was trying but out of touch...Kohli was simply chilling

I know I will be shot down for saying this but I'm gonna try anyway. 

 

I think the pitch did improve for batting after the first 15 overs. That's why Pandya was able to play some of those strokrs do easily.  So I don't think the gap between the 2 teams is as big as we saw yesterday.  ENG are better but yesterday was an outlier.

We have the talent but mindset is a major issue for pretty much everyone in the side! You have to be flexible above all in any format of the game, they should've assessed the pitch in the first over or two & then went hammer & tongs after that - but KL karke nahi aaya & that's why RGS & Brat had to play conservatively for 3-4 overs & knowing these two the English put brakes on with their spinners. They should've sent Yadav ahead of Brat here!

That is one of the reason but the way we surrendered is shameless. Definitely it's a trend that we loose toss in crucial matches especially such pitches which behaves differently but as a player you should be ready for any situation.

Im just so angry because there is a 2nd XI Indian team that could easily be picked that would smash the team from last night.

When Hitman said a single game does not define a career, I lost all hope of India winning the semi and the WC.

 

Its when he really killed our WC campaign. He gave a premeditated excuse for losing when the game was there to be won.

Don't disagree with this and I also felt the same during Afghan-Australia match on this track. The pitch was very sluggish when Australia batted and it became better under lights when Afghanistan batted. 

But last year WC, this year Asia cup and a couple of matches here should have forced us to analyse this and we should up our par score by 20+ more runs. We were happy with 160. Our batters just thought that if we are not able to hit spinners here, England will struggle too.

Pak hammered SA after their openers failed again. They smashed Nortje and co all over the stadium and who did it,their T20 specialist bowling allrounders and a solid batsman in Iftikhar. Pak may have lost against ZIM but they beat a strong team convincingly and then beat the suppose favorite NZ infact it was a humiliation. 

 

Did we beat any strong team in this WC ? NO. We narrowly edged Pak due to some luck and Kohli's out of the world innings. I mean even Eng will falter 8 times out of 10 chasing 48 in 18 balls. Pak beat 2 strong teams convincingly and they deserve to be in the Finals

 

We need to drop the entire oldies squad and look for players who can actually belt the ball without any worries and a few who can bowl as well. Youngsters with no fear of failing. Don't need Manhoos KL,Unfit Has Been Sharma and useless Axar's and Ashwin's. Need to fire Paddy Upton too. KL has gone from bad to worse. The team looked scared even before entering the field against Eng. What the hell is Paddy Upton saying to them ? Dravid should be kicked out as well.

We arguably should have lost to Bangladesh as well if you want to count Kohli's fake fielding.

 

Our 2022 WC campaign was a total disaster, its only because SA managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory that overshadowed us.
