Timid batting ,Team full of serial Chokers and Fraud Rockstar!!

Australia absolutely owning India in its own den in the biggest stage .

India won useless bilateral and group stage match but This is what you call "sau sonar ki Ek Lohar ki "

Those blaming the pitch are absolute morons.

 

Australia clearly had plans for every single batsman in the team.

 

Look at how they got Iyer. How they made KL Rahul choke under pressure and Kohli not score a single boundary.

 

Slower balls, bouncers etc.

 

When Rohit gave away the template for 10 matches in a row, it was obviously easy for a team to study each player and their weakness.

 

I am sure they did the math and found out that if they get Gill and Iyer out, the win % goes up to 95%

 

With SKY neutered it was probably 100%

 

They didn't need Kohli as he cannot accelerate anymore.

 

Seriously foolish for fans to call it bad luck when it was supreme skill and math.

 

Any math major would know how they played statistics on their favor.

 

If India won, it would have mean SKY, Gill and Iyer had to play their best ever innings. All 3 were strategized against and even in a good batting pitch they would have gotten out cheaply.

This. That's why Aussies were going to win it once they made it to the semis. 

How England won in 2019 is mystery. Maybe England did better homework.

Indians lack strategy.

There's a reason they have both Smith and Labu in the team. Not mindless hitters. They had faith in their bowlers.

Insightful post.

 

Fair enough.

 

Still had the pitch been a normal one...they would have found it harder to execute the plans.

 

We have 1000s of issues.

 

The least we could have done is have a normal pitch.

The 3rd class pitch. 

 

This final should've been played at wankhede Or eden

Australian batsmen would have beaten our bowlers black and blue in Wankhede.

There bowlers would have got us In similar position As saf if the match was in eden.

The match was played at the perfect venue and everyone on this forum was happy with the finals being played in Ahmedabad (A pitch which suits us well) .

Its just that they have tampered the pitch too much , but even if it was a flat pitch ,Australia would have chased anything we put due to Dew.

There is no escaping Australia unless you play fearless cricket .

England won a great toss and out Australia in early morning .

I remember steve smith and carrey playing a great knock only for England to chase it down with ease.

 

Sometimes we dont realize the importance of luck in winning critical tosses.

 

But we could have offered a pitch that nuetralized the luck factor to a great extent.

 

Sadly we have a foolish and arrogant management/board who are living in their own dreamland.

 

Even as a nuetral, this is a pathetic pitch.

 

Wc 2007 finals which was a flopshow was wayyy more fun than this.

I will take a Travis Head any day over a Virat Kohli. Head is a gun player who shows up when it matters the most. WTC final and now a WC final.

 

Kohli is yet another stat king, money making machine whose achievements are glorified by a relentless PR machine. 

[Sooda]

Pathetic captaincy,  no pressure put on the batsmen. Easy singles on offer. No slip in place after the power play pretty much. Kuldeep to Head needed a slip to challenge outside edge. 

[MK55]

See this team has got it all wrong.

Yes, you gotta be relaxed BUT you gotta step it up a little when the going gets tough or on big occasions. That little was desperation was missing all through out the match. That separates out the guys who win when it matters.
Just look at the way Warner was fielding.

Match Ka Mujrim-

 

KL RAHUL's Slow innings- he should have scored 20 more runs. even his wicketkeeping was not good.

Shammi- He was very ineffective even after getting 1 wicket, he did not try hard and bounce back - he should have asked Rohit to get him to bowl more. he was supposed to be the savior but he underperformed.

SIRAJ-  he was World Cup ka MUJRIM- underperformer in the entire World Cup. Prasidh would have performed better - actually, Rohit should have replaced him with Prasidh during the World Cup.

Shreyas Iyer failed.

Virat had to play faster, He played Slow.

The PITCH was also not impressive.

 

I was very impressed with ROHIT Sharma - the selfless batsman and the Selfless Captain. One big gain for India has is ROHIT - the selfless Captain.

Rohit sharma said he would have batted if they one the toss 

[vivek04]

poor captaincy. sharma should have set the attacking field. he let the easy singles which could not build any pressure. given the target.  Also why on earth there was no slip as we missed 2 chances  which could have helped massively. Also Sharma was batting nicely till his brainfade momnet which cost us massively 30-40 runs.

 

 

[First class]

Rohit wanted to bat first and Australians let him bat first , what's the fuss about pitch and playing condition. 

[rollingstoned]

TBH there was no single mujrim here. The failure was a collective one apart from not having a little bit of luck(arguably).

[wanted_desi]

Day/Night game, it is high time to rethink if we need to have these day night matches in India for World Cup knockout games. It is just not fair to teams and winning toss makes a lot of difference.

3rd class slow pitch ... given the fact that our strengths in this tournament have been our Fast Bowling and Batting. 

Totally. After losing the toss, Rohit openly took  anti-depressant pills showing his displeasure at losing the all important toss.

Ahmedabad shouldn't be hosting any important game. Dumb cricket association, clueless curators.
