WI vs India (ind's 200th T20I)1st T20I at Tarouba, Trinidad Aug 03,2023 (8 pm)

Sunyakumar yadav was good in one format. They made sure he sucks in that too.

[Frustrated]

We lost by 4 runs.  AssDeep has conceded 5 wides.   .  He is MOTM for Windies.   

[nitinbwj]

Hardik, SKY, Samson all played run a ball innings. Had any one of them played half of what Varma did, we would have won with an over to spare. Shambolic, Pathetic performance. 

[putrevus]

According to many ICfers, India is loaded with talent, they are not getting chances, where are those talents?

 

Pandya  is the captain who will lead India to promised land .We will see that also.

Both Gill and Kishan are liabilities in T20Is. Kishan specially has looked clueless to me whenever there is even 0.1 degree of turn.

SKY has transformed himself from being a minnow basher to a minnow level batsman in all formats.

Keep playing IPeeL dickheads.

IPL is not the problem. Problem is they don't select the right players. CSK was the winning team and know how to win with that winning mentaltiy but yet no players for csk and so many players from chokers mumbai etc

[vvvslaxman]

I don't think winning this will also give any happiness. So personally i am happy with Tilak's impressive debut.  Couldn't care less about anything else. Chahal's catch drop cost us like 30 runs.

One guy who played well today was from that talent group. Tilak Verma.

In 9 months we will be playing on these pitches in world cup 2024. 

[Lala_is_back]

Failed to chase a below par score like 150. Bring back Kohli, Rohit and Dhoni

ok, who else? Who needs to be kicked out for incoming great talent.

[Gollum]

Chahal won't bat outside #11 in any women's international team.  What is Dravid's endgame here?

[Gollum]

Kuldeep had some batting skills, but never bothered to upgrade them.

Kishan did well okay in 2 or 3 ODIs. Gill definitely has technical weakness he needs to iron out. Jaiswal is another guy. Ruturaj is one more person. If you give enough chance they will show promise. Rinku is not even picked despite showing great finishing skills. You need a solid finisher in T20 to pull off magical finishes. India had zero finisher in this line up. Almost all of them or middle order guys.

Jemima rodrigues is shorter in stature more fragile. But she can play better power shots than this weasel. How can he walk into bat with such pathetic batting skills. Bumrah who looked like a tailender when he started ended up in the record book for scoring max imum runs in one over in Tests.  Chahal is exactly like how i saw him 6 years back

Good for Indian fans.  Now they will be mentally prepared to lose to Pak in Asia cup and WC by humiliating margins and crash out in group stage.  

[vvvslaxman]

You need role based selection. You cannot assemble players randomly and send.   Flamebuoyan top order. Middle over enforcer. Finisher. You need to categorize and play accordingly.

That is the problem which has been has been plaguing Indian cricket.

 

Incoming players are not improving their skills.

 

Pandya is playing for 7 years, how much has he improved?Today he bowled well I will give him that but he did not bowl with new ball which he was doing in odis.

 

Bhajji started as tailender ended up as decent number 8, Ishant improved his batting.
