Shami wasn't part of 2013 CT winning team IIRC. He'll bow out without a single ICC trophy in all likelihood, shame because he is one of the ICC tourney GOATs, no less than McGrath, Akram, Malinga etc. 

Do you think Indian TM has learned or did learn. Even in this odi world cup they played Siraj ahead of Shami for first few games till injury. This time there was no Bhuvi as well with his mythical batting.

We didn't lose because of the bowling attack. We had 2 batters in Rohit and Kohli and that's it. It was a horrible batting lineup by our standards.

We lost because we were in a more disadvantaged position on day 2. After incessant rain the pitch was under cover for 18 hours. Then covers were removed and it was a green mamba. Survival was difficult forget runs. Its just because jadeja we think we could have won. If he got out we would have been 140 all out..

Ah..the great "24 slower balls" Patel, with "All phase bowler" Bhuvi. 

 

Horrible years in 2021-22. 

 

Just thinking about those days makes me puke. 

[Cloud]

Bhuvi was played because of batting depth in 2019 SF and the decision at that moment wasn't wrong given the tough batting conditions.

Bhuvi bhaiya career came to an ignominious end

But very deserving.

There have been two banes on Indian cricket, Bhuvi and KL Rahul. The moment they have been kicked out, things have started to change for better in Indian team.

100%

 

Kohli lost 2019 wc cause of those 2 pos's 

 

2017 too with poor selections. Wrong selections. 

 

2014 again cause of wrong selections but ofcourse under dhongi

 

Kohli could have had 3 more titles easily. Maybe 4 with wtc if not for our dumb selectors.

Those two? The biggest c*** s***** during that WC was Dhongi 

 

The whole team was built around to accommodate him! Why the * do you think we needed BK as a batter lower down the order? That Eng game we gave up was the most shameful chase I've seen in a WC

Still should have been chased down. Even NZ bowlers were shocked by Dhonis lack of intent 

 

Random selections like DK didn't help either 

 

That team did not even have a #4 batter.

That 2017 final will always be fishy. Most of the decisions we took in that game didn't appear honest. Maybe plot to humiliate coach Kumble, maybe some other factors at play. 

 

That was all Kohli's ego. You can't find a better example of "cutting your nose to spite your face". Bowling first on that patta and going for a spinner instead of a pacer was stupid. The same way keeping Shami out of the team for the 2019 SF or playing 2 spinners in that WTC final. Too many blunders as a captain by Kohli. Got the team selection wrong quite often and sticking with likes of Chahal

Kohli benched him and Umesh (3/30 in group game against poyzz) in 2017 CT F. Then elected to field first in a day game with not one speck of cloud in sight, and carrying 2 spinners, just to spite Kumble 

 

Benched him again in 2019 SF, after he won MOTM against them in NZ a few months earlier. Kuldeep, Rayudu, 2 other star performers of that NZ series too didn't play that SF.

 

Injured Bhuvi picked ahead of red hot Shami against NZ, Kohli-Shastri the ultimate ICC disaster duo. Shastri does so much bakchodi as commentator, clown coach. 

 

Those decisions in 2017 CT and 2019 WC SF along with playing 2 spinners in rain affected WTC final when kiwis went with 0 spinners defines Kohli as the captain. Every tourney he blundered with team selections.

[putrevus]

2017 finals loss was on bowlers and not on bowling first .Bowling first decision was made when SL chased 321 with ease against Bumrah and co one the same ground.

 

Umesh leaked  67 runs in that match and was rightly left out.

 

Then we all know what happened with Bumrah and his noball in finals.
