He is also left handed seamer. Umesh has a terrible record in England. Thakur looked better than him. He picked up six wickets last match he played on this ground, if it reverses even little bit he is better reverse swing bowler than Thakur. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Didn't realize Rohit has never captained overseas. KL Rahul win was in BD right 2 of them? There is no need to take sea to get to BD right :) Link to comment

Shittest Rahane. **** but goat captain Jaddu. Very good Kishan. Talented good Ashwin Thakur Shami Siraj You just can't win with just 1 or 2 good batsmen. We are *ed.

Batting last might be easier as we have been seeing recently. That applies to teams who can actually bat. Not us Sgattick10, sandeep and vvvslaxman 3 Link to comment
Jay Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Are most of you guys just over our selection bias? I don't care anymore. We won't ever pock the right players as bcci just cant get rid of these washed up has beens due to their stsr power. Now I am just watching for entertainment. Result don't matter. Link to comment

AshVin Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Aussies will win. The Indian lineup is brittle and doesn't inspire any confidence. I'd be glad If my prediction ends up being wrong but it's unlikely. Link to comment

kubrickian Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) Ishan Kishan is a certified hack of a batsman and worst FTB there ever is. Selecting him for tests in England shows selectors/experts have no clue what they are doing. In fact, even Gill as an opener in tests is a big question mark IMO.

Nikola Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Probably our best chance to win the icc event after long time. We have edge of aussies in last decade or so and if we play both spinners then i guess we have slightly better chance against them. Pitch looks good for batting with some support for seamers but ashwin should do well here. We have to trust him as he is #1 ranked bowler atm. raki05 1 Link to comment

Kishan is a hack but he can play hit the deck bowling & is a left hander & Aussies have troubles against Indian lefties in recent past. Sgattick10 and raki05 2 Link to comment

He will not survive an over in England. Link to comment
