56” level performance. Prelude to a ICC trophy.

I just logged in to troll.

 

Didn't know that we were in the final and that it was today.

 

Big LOL we bowled them out for 50 and chased it in 5 overs.

 

Will do wonders to our morale before the WC.

Hi Mariyam !  Good to see you post.

 

Today's match feels like a cricket video game with SL being the guy who has just learnt to play the game today and is struggling with the controls.   

[express bowling]

Point to note is that we have won the tournament with 5 fast bowlers and just 1 medium paced allrounder. 

 

No floaty trundlers were picked to bowl upfront and we got the results.

Hi

 

I promise to be around during the WC.

 

may even go for a game, but Mumbai has all unfun games.

 

suddenly I’m very optimistic about our chances. I felt the same way in 2011 and we won.

 

we are winning the WC!

Atleast you have India games, plus Pune nearby.

Hyderabad has no options.

Are you comparing Hyderabad to Mumbai?  

 

last time we had the final. I attended that game. It’s the only ODI I have seen in its totality. Till date. on tv or in a stadium. 
 

this time the final is in Amdavad. Another unfun place.

You're lucky,

Ahmedabad used to be boring, but now people say it is quite eventful now.

The stadium is quite big in capacity

so yeah, revenue wise BCCI can earn ₹₹₹₹

 

Also, as a joke people say that 30% population of Mumbai is actually from Ahmedabad, so same folks will be there as well.

Ye kya chewtiyapa bhai? Pachas rupaiaa mein Final khatam? Vanar sena ne Ravan ko pachas mil se zayda bhi jaane nahin diya???

It’s not a joke. There is a large Gujarati population in Mumbai. 
 

I don’t want be a buzzkill but Ahmedabad is really boring. Unless you are on campus: IIM A or MICA. Then it’s tolerable. Its a very sanitised city and has good infrastructure. But that’s about it.

 

Why would I care about BCCI’s revenue? Wankhede is quite close to my parents place. I’d much rather the final is here.

Watering holes here have the usual patrons surmising that it is due to 'pixing' that a 50 over match ended up with a team getting bowled out for 50 in a final. One shouldn't blame Padosis, it's genuinely a dna thing I'm beginning to think.

Gift city should solve the Ahmedbaad being boring bit.

We may win if today's bunch remain fit.

 

Our first 11 is looking strong.

 

But our backups haven't been prepared.

And Bangalore has no decent India game. One of India vs NZ or India vs Australia should have been at Chinnaswamy. Both teams have terrible records here.

Say what? DNA thing?

 

You lost me here.

 

Who are these watering holes that you refer to? A snide reference to me?

If Ha Pa remains fit, it makes Bumrah and Siraj more aggressive and intent on wicket taking. 
 

Pandya is the key.

Another point to note, apart from Kuldeep, the spinners did jack all.

 

That too on Sri Lankan tracks which aid spin. 

 

We don't need 2 spin all-rounders in any squad of 15.

 

Pace wins you key phases and tournaments. 

 

It is always, and I mean ALWAYs, better to err on the side of picking extra pacers than an extra spinner.

No not you. Padosis keep defaulting to match fixing allegations to make sense of something they can't understand especially india related. See shoaib akhtar etc the past few days.

You have folks over here repeating the same things just coz India won the final so the skepticism inherent to suspecting conspiracies is a dna thing by the looks of it is what I wanted to say.
