How about we pick on form closer to time.

 

Pandya is injury prone. No guarantee he will be fit in 2 years.

 

Don't think a) hosts have won the wc t20 b) won back to back

 

 

 

No hosts had won ODI WC before India in 2011. Let's make that happen in T20Is too in 2026. There's enough talent to do so and these players have been brought up playing IPL on those pitches so it should be a huge advantage :isalute:

Make all KOs day games,chewt and greedy cricket rulers make it day nighters with dew falling

That makes it 65-75%toss depending affair

Can have it like we have in IPL double headers, game starting at 3:30-4 and ending before dew starts.

 

* this TRP business, do it for the country.

no one had won w/o losing a match either.

 

jadeja is a great test player and was decent in odis back in the day but should quit there too. become a test specialist.

So true. Coz if we play at venues like Wankhede or Ahmedabad, teams chasing have a huge advantage chasing under the lights thanks to dew. Best to make all the matches start at 4pm IST as dew wouldn't have a major impact.

 

We already know our history with winning tosses and an ICC tourney should be based on skills and not luck with the coin!

Jaddu should retire from ODIs too, and focus only on tests and IPL. 

 

Don't let his T20 career misguide you about his value to Indian cricket. He is an MVP in test cricket, especially at home. He should aim to play for 4-5 more years in white jersey, he has the fitness to do that....Ashwin will retire soon (maybe even this season) and we shouldn't lose both of them at the same time. Also in SENA his batting adds value, may even focus more on batting going forward if the rigors of bowling are too much on his body. 

The way Ashwin talks about cricketing careers in his youtube channel (predominantly in Tamil) and how much he longs to play, I guess he won't go by himself.

Just to earn billions ,they messed with our most coveted CWC trophy chances last year

Don't think ,being a Sunday that Nov19 game would have any less attendance had it started as a day final

We could have fared much better,our bowling attack was on a roll

Or just have KOs in sporting wickets,giving equal to 45% chance even to the toss looser

Gora sides make subtle adjustments to lessen their weaknesses

As you said our track record with high octane tosses is miserable across Captains,being the host we could have made some arrangements/adjustments

Am sure Rutu is going to sneak in into ODI or Test side.

Dhoni can recommend him

Semis and finals should be day games. Period. Else toss becomes crucial, and a huge advantage at certain venues.

With the t20 world cup win and retirement announcements from Rohit and Kohli, Jaddu made the sane decision to do so himself. Let his inability to do something useful aside for the moment. He is already outshined by Axar in all three aspects of cricket in the shorter formats. Maybe he should also consider retiring from ODIs as well. He is very much needed in tests, especially at home. Lets bid Sir-brandish-a-sword Jadeja a farewell from t20

To me it seems like Gambhir has shared his plans with the BCCI, there were reports of it in media from BCCI sources. Looks like a list of players is shared who are not going to be or going to be part of his plans. Otherwise I don't think Indian players would retire before a world cup in India just 18 months to go.

It's good. I have high hopes on Gambhir to clean up the quota players - seniority quota, State quota, sponsor quota.
