I am enjoying India W effort against Aus. Skittled them out for 219 and now 51 after 8. Good....aur kooto inko..Aussies in any form should be smashed left light and centre

Tbf we smashed aus in aus twice. In tests they are yet to beat us in a Test series. Fluke loss in wtc final doesn't matter as it's one off and in tests it doesn't work that way.

 

Seems like the longer the format the better we are. We are useless in t20 despite what our record suggests because we handicap ourselves before the tournament even starts due to rubbish selection woes.

 

Same in odi but the format requires longer overs so we do much better in odi than t20 and we can very well beat anyone if we are in form. We fail only in KO of semis or finals and that can be attributed mainly to selections again. We keep sticking with old washed up players and pick based on names instead of merit. When we fix selection issues then we will start winning even in semis and finals. 

 

We won in semis last time but lost the final in 2023 wc

Maybe next time we will go one better as pannautis like kphli rohit jadeja all will be gone.

why not ,we played SKY late and he was a success in T20s.

[Austin 3:!6]

Enjoying Patidar's batting

[tweaker]

Patidar 6

[cowboysfan]

beaten for pace,well bowled by Burger.

[tweaker]

Patidar gone

[vvvslaxman]

Damn. He was lookig so good. One too many shot attempts. He could have waited for the swing. Anyway better than Ruturaj

[nitinbwj]

Awful shot to get out..Patidar. Over anxious to do well i guess. Hitting 4's easily. That was a nothing slog to a nothing ball. He knows that he won't get any more chances duo to losers like gaikwad and Tilak,

[cowboysfan]

Burger should definitely play in the Test matches ahead of Ngidi,will be a big challenge on seaming wickets.

Pecking order

Rabada

Jansen

Untouchable for tests

Coetze next

Ngidi

Nortje 

 

Coetze can bat and score 15 20 runs. So can Jansen. Can even score more. 

 

Then bench reserves they have

Burger who could debuted over coetze

Lizaad Williams he also bowls 135 to 140

Then we got sisanda magala

Sipamla

 

So there are 3 great bowlers. 2 very good talents. One potential to enter the fray. 

3 around average. 

Good rotation to have 6 to 7 bowlers to choose from for all formats.
