Proud of team India

[BlueBlood]

In a game with dwindling support every year.

 

Playing against arguably 3-4 competitive nations.

 

Two of which are known chokers (SA, NZ) where cricket isnt even 3rd most popular sport.

 

All India had to do was beat AUS considering England self destruction.

 

Yet in home conditions lost.

 

This is what good PR and media brainwashing does.

 

Shameful that we can't even boss the only game we are good at. AUS already qualified for soccer world cup.

 

Indian fans will become like Bangladesh or SL fans doing nagin dances to ipl and bilateral tours.

 

This is the biggest tragedy of all.

I just wish india goes bang bang in wt20 now. Go with a young team. Just go gung ho. No expectations nothing. If we lose its fine but I want us to play an attacking brand of cricket. Bumrah arshdeep will be good in windies in depth. Kuldeep will be our spinner. Jadeja not sure but i think he will be stuck with. We need tilak varma and jaiswal definitely. 

I think Jadeja must be put to rest...  This guy has to be most useless investment in ICT history.

Keep him for tests against england in vizags of the world. But i dont even have faith on axar. We need a gun left arm spinner who can bat actually.

This one hurts.

 

More than the others.

Our best bet is Washington Sundar

You are right.  I felt the same about Raul since he entered politics in 2004, nearly 20 years ago ( from a Congress perspective).  His performance has been way worse than good ol Jadeja. What a waste of investment.

 

Dil pe mat lena bhai.

He is an offie. Turns the ball in to rhb which even kuldeep does. We need a leg spinner who can tonk or a sla who can bat well. End of day we have saurabh kumar but he is poor in batting. So we are left with jadeja and axar. And leg spinner plus tonker is tewatia but pandya has not even let him bowl a single over in ipl. 

[Swag]

Failed at last hurdle, but it was a very good performance from the team.

10 straight wins in a WC is nothing to snicker at, people take it lightly as if it is a walk in the park.

Disappointed obviously with not winning it, but credit where it is due for team India and where it is due for the Aussies.

I am fine with him playing tests at least this cycle...  Just don't associate best A/R tag on him.  So much experience..  But he isn't upto the task when it matters.  Limited skill set.

Dil pe kya lena bhai...  Modi G is Panoti since 2014 even a ATG Indian team assembled couldn't reverse the curse. 

Golden memories look like happened in some other lifetime.  Depressing state of the country.

They played well. Best WC campaign until the finals 

 

Who the f makes such a pathetic, chase biased  pitch?  Especially when you can clearly prepare the pitch the way you want?

 

Absolute incompetence from the curator and everyone involved.

 

 

You cant get much better than this with the current domestic structure. It's impossible.

Before the start of the tournament, I didn't give our team any chance tbh .

I thought we'd go out in the group stage and this might be a disastrous campaign but was surprised to see us perform to such a high level. 

But a KO defeat was bound to happen as always and it happened In the finals ffs!

 

The way we were playing and knowing it was the final world cup for a few Superstars ,we Royally Shat in the biggest stage ,Won't get such an opportunity in a long time now

Yes I know we had a terrible game. We batted like we were afraid. Our bowling was subpar after the first 10 overs. We didn't field well. And all of that.

 

But I'm very proud of the way this team has performed all through the tournament. No controversy, no crazy comments,only stellar cricket all along.

 

Well played India.

I have been proud of India since 2003 when they choked and 20 years later no change!!!! Still very very proud.

[SRT100]

Nothing to be proud about at all.

This is nothing short of humiliation of the highest order.

 

All the usual suspects choked when it mattered most.

The Dravid mentality is coming 2nd is good enough. Its not this is national embarrassment.

Agree with everything.

 

Best of 3 finals is a good idea and we should push for it in ICC meetings.

 

But till it happens, we should look to win SFs and Finals. 

 

For a tournament this long, I actually do agree with this, but to be honest, this is only to ensure India dont choke in a game.

Deep down you must have known India would demonstrate its true form.

Instead of best of 3 games, IMO the better option is to schedule knockout matches at venues where toss doesn't have much of a factor. Even if you make it best of 3, the way things are the tourney would be won by the captain winning the 2 tosses.
