Bigg Brother Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Pointless series. Not that I'm criticising lack of intent and participation from WI players but this series will just take away the focus from Indian test team's glaring deficiencies and will cost us again. Thrashing by Australia in WTC final should have made some really tough decisions like showing door to Kohli,Rahane, Pujara,Rohit and prepare for next WTC cycle properly unlike relying on Ashwin-Jaddu everytime to hole us out with both bat and ball. Indian test team is actual definition of trash team at present where few guys are just on vacation mode including coach on the basis of their past credentials. This series will just take away all the focus from the fiasco that happened in WTC final. express bowling and Vijy 1 1 Link to comment

Tarak9 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Vs WI series is part of WTC 2023-2025 We starts with 12 points While both eng /Aus got penalty of 2 points each Eng after 1st win in new cycle gets 10 points only because of over rate penalty We have to play 3 test series in india & 3 test series Away in 2023-2025 WTC cycle so you now know importance of each series I wish india win 4th time at Port of spain ( 2nd ) so we will lead table with 24 points vs 22 by Aus ( -2 penalty) Edited July 18, 2023 by Tarak9 Update Link to comment

Lord Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 looks like ICF likes losses. Most of our wins are demeaned and not celebrated. The point is to obviously earn crucial WTC points. And just because we beat them doesn't mean they are poor at home. Beat Eng at home and even Bangladesh away. Link to comment

Always playing in England is the problem. It needs to be removed from England and be played in other countries. World cup did not become big until it was moved out of England. Link to comment

BlueBlood Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Where are all the Ashwin lovers at? Didn't take a single wicket when it mattered. Yet Kuldeep Yadav is discarded... Kohli, Rohit, Ashwin never miss feasting on friendly conditions against minnows but struggle against top teams Link to comment
zen Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 India is turning into a team that not many care for as there is no traditional rivalry in play (India does not play cricket with its traditional rival). Teams invite it for revenue purposes. Series such as these highlight the incompetence of experienced players as they tend to fail in big games against big teams in conditions where there is even a hint of a lack of support. Here they stats pad which further points at failures in key games. These performances allow the cycle of such failures to continue as naive (or even desperate) folks are busy counting WTC points!
