In our mind, the kind of performance India has produced we should call them winners already. Rest whatever happens we will accept as professionals. cricspirit and Lord 2 Link to comment

India failed to beat Kiwis and England in that tournament and he batting performance in semis was absolutely shameless. Our no.8 played a blinder and yet it wasn't enough.

How was it shameless, swing will get people out.Indian version of Number 6 in Pandya was not good enough like Maxwell to get his team over the line. We have not seen them play in semifinal yet.

It was shameless as you were 24-5 and then your captain cool and the best finisher ever hide down the order and came to bat at 91-6 with required rate of 7 to play a mighty innings of 50 off 72 balls lmao. It was shameful performance and should have been put in a locker in Birmingham for a week for such awful display of cricket Vijy 1 Link to comment

Kiwi match didnt happen in league and we lost one to hosts. Here we are hosts, so its not much of an upgrade. Link to comment

Host or not, we just bottled it vs England, the cricket we played there exposed the middle order weakness big time. We also didn't played Kiwis either. This team is better as it has a better middle order and top order is still good. Bowling has been better too. Only that #6 spot is a slight concern but rest is all sorted. Winning or losing only time will tell but the cricket we have played this tournament is worth commendable. Link to comment

SKY can bat at 7. maybe even 8 if that's what makes him feel comfortable Link to comment
AuxiliA Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 17 hours ago, Lord said: Too arrogant. Aus will beat us in semi/final Aus has a good chance in Wankhede, but not much in Ahmedabad, were the pitch is low and slow. Shami will be a beast there(if he wasn't one already). Jadeja, who has a great record vs current Aus, will also get help there. I am however quite worried about us chasing vs NZ at Wankhede. If NZ posts a par or better total and then knocks out both Rohit and Kohli early then... You know this story. Link to comment

The impact is pretty low for a specialist batsman for that position. Yes, his game suits to that but you don't pick specialist batsman for those cameos and he just hasn't cracked the ODI format yet. He should stay at 6 and try playing those knocks that he has been doing like vs England, he batted well and in last game played a fine cameo. Maybe he might produce a special knock on a big day.

In Tests you can afford to see off a spell Jaddu should be above SKY only if we are 4-30 inside 10 overs. Link to comment
