They have no choice. Green seems to be out of commission. Hazlewood doesn't seem to have recovered fully.  Boland was expensive. So it was upto Cummins and Lyon. Basically they have 2.5 bowlers to use. We went with 5 bowlers on much more helpful pitch and conceded 469 runs.

Combined age of 80 abtting at the crease :) 1000 plus wickets to go with.

Yet our top 6 folded. That too after winning in Australia too. 

Shameless.

Rohit is cancer.

Yes. Pant's absence exposed these clowns. That Bharat selection was pathetic.

he is 6'5 not 7 foot

Yes I m aware.  Don't take it literally.  What I meant was that he is too tall and is a superb fielder.   And he is not 6'5 either.  He is 6'7.

Forget about winning for a second. We can win. Certainly. We can beat any team if we make right selections calls. Question is we will never see our best side play lol. We seldom pick the right players. So how will we ever win finals

India will never reach another WTC final for a very long time.  This is it. These bozos f*** us good in both finals.  Screwed several ICC events since 2013. Now they have one more thing to screw up and they will call it quits (hopefully)

Eventually old guard will go. Problem is with the culture in India. Too much respect is given to seniors irrespective of their ability.

With increased social media presence the value of star players grow exponentially.  So they get to keep their places longer than they should.  If Gill produces what is expected of him even for 2 or 3 years that is it. His career is set. He will rake up 500 crores easily.

I expect gill to get close to, or even cross, v. kohli, because kohli had to work hard (let's give him credit, even though I bash him) for about half his career to reach a certain level. whereas, for flashy gill, it has been given to him from the start - hence, all the cricinfo articles hyping every single IPL/rando knock of his

Aus won't get anywhere near this total if Khwaja and Smith fail. 

If Warner flukes a 50 here they have a real shot. Labu/Head have to contribute along with others.
