I still can't believe we beat Australia 4 times in a row with a sh***y batting line up lol 

That is definitely cause of our bowling. Bowlers were in the prime and peak conditions and also bharat arun as coach. All were world class bowlers. Now bad coach. No set ups. Old players and not making right selection calls.

Chasing has definitely gotten easier. Definitely. It's clear as day. 

Indian batting did very poorly on a much flatter wicket chasing vs Oz. Poor stuff.

 

 

That was a toothless bowling attack. Starc was a spray gun. Cummins was well below par. No Hazlewood. Just that Boland guy which England dealt with.

And Pant sticking to them both behind the wicket and infront of the wicket.   "Temporary captain" comment lol

Boland is average. He is no speedster or insanely good bowler. Above average. We made it hard vs him for no reason. Getting out to silly balls. We handled hazlewood before but now all are old batsmen. Out time is finished. Need new blood.

Also pant bumrsh and perhaps jaiswal in would have meant an easy win over Aussies I feel in the wtc even if we carried old players. 

But big lesson for us is, never play ipl before a big series if you want to win. It's that simple.

this pitch was quit a lot flatter

the second it started nipping a bit because of some clouds or the wear of the ball boland was looking as threatening again. He's just a vernon philander type, or like a pace bowling version of jadeja

This is how test kirkut should be. Two sides duking it out and small mistakes decide the winner and loser, but they left everything out on the field. Unlike our loda team who would have folded meekly if they were playing in the test match as evidenced by the total surrender in the WTC final. And BCCI babus are content milking the I PEE L cow!

Er..... the most famous win was at the Gabba and the bowling attack was Siraj, Natarajan, Saini, Thakur and Washington Sundar.

 

"world class"  is just a cliche - they had the will to win AND and and ....the captain Rahane handled them well. I am not at all sure with the same attack we win with Kohli or Rohit Sharma as captain.

We will lose with rohit as captain for sure. 

That 2018 was a really top class attack. India's attack

Cummins was still very conservative till the end.  Played every ball on its merit.  Not for a moment, it appeared that he was trying to go bazzball.  Proper cricketing shots on loose balls.  

And our sooperistars cant bat like that even if their life dpends on it…. Chokli I remember during 18 eng series where we were chasing meagre total of 214 and we were 141 for 6 i believe with chokli and bandya on crease and we still got out around 165/170 and lost that match, which could have won. This poo-jaras, chokli and sharma cant even match cummins in batting let alone bowling.

this type of fight i would like see in Indian team, but the current lot are timid bunch of cricketers who fails under slight pressure.

Dont worry these leeches would travel to wi and might score as well but same thing gonna happen in world events. There is no responsibility and ownership as long as everyone is minting money.

Also, don't forget about the extra baggage they will bring to the press conference. Nothing is left on the field for these guys ... they carry it around after the match, lol.

KP taking a dig at Koolie

Virat Kohli is a wonderful player of spin. I mean without sweep or reverse sweep, the way Virat plays spin is incredible. I mean, you can watch him bat. Mentally, you can see him batting there, so you can sort of understand that," he said during the first Ashes Test between England and Australia at Edgbaston.
