I won't blame him. Produced the edge but field set was pathetic. Rohit just gave up.

Kuldeep? Yes. I counted 2 easy slip catches.

Time to start backing Bishnoi ahead of Kuldeep in LOIs. Keep Kuldeep for Tests only.

In tests cause we can manipulate fields he would be much more dangerous I feel. But LOI is not for him

Yes should have picked some there but again didnt leak runs too. The match was won there.

[Frustrated]

Kuldeep 4 overs 33/0.

1 each off both. Very tough for spinner to bowl with that field set.

 

It'd been 127-5 then. Anything can happen from there.

@Frustrated

In semis vs nz even siraj was crap. Terrible bowling. We needed that hapric toothpick idiot for balance. Not that he is some great player. He just gives the balance.

If head goes we win. 100%. Maxwell hack etc won't last long.

Had shami not bowled his heart out and not picked 7 wickets, we would hv lost that game.   NZ were 220/2 in 32 overs.  Only 20 runs short of what Ind had made at the same stage while batting 1st.

This Indian bowling attack is really poor ,you cannot win against any side with bowlers like Mukesh,Avesh,Arshdeep ,Axar(Horrible bowler) .

India have got plenty of talent who should be used from the next series onwards in the shorter format at least .

This current crop of pacer in this squad should right away be discarded, they have got no talent tbh 

[harpicP]

What a pace bowlers boy

Lol they are blinded by the previous game fluke performance.

Must say arsh has improved. 

He bowled well today.

Maharaj got so much out of it and Axar/Kuldeep have been useless.

Hit him down the ground he loses the plot. Can't comeback after a single hit.

If not 2 you need 1 bowler who can go in 145. All these 3 are similar 130-135 bowlers.

Good that SA are defeating this team of losers . I hope they lose the third one as well. Feeling quite relieved actually. Second Indian game that i haven't watched at all. Not a single ball. I hope to continue this till the time we get rid of oldies and Dravid and losers. Might take few years for sure... world Cup completely drained me. Fukked with my mind after that loss. These losers don't deserve genuine fans. They don't give a ****. 

Me too, know there is a game today because of ICF. No interest in Indian cricket anymore, might turn up occasionally for other games, like good old Pak in Aus tests lol.

In the league game vs NZ, he was smashed all over the park by Darly Mitchell.   He looked clueless.  Eventually picked a few wickets but that was after a long time.   By then, NZ had already scored 230+.

Avesh is not bad.

Not saying he is a food player but he is serviceable.
