Everything that could go wrong went wrong

[rollingstoned]

Title sums it up. We knew our batting was brittle but lower order runs covered it up. Bowling also went awol apart from Sundar and we made bad decisions wrt to toss, team selection, game management and even pitches. 

 

Sundar, Akashdeep and Sarfaraz have sealed their spots in this home season. 

[sensible-indian]

How did Sarfraz seal his spot?

 

Very disappointed with him.

[Lord]

It was long overdue. Lower order has been saving our arses for long. This time Kiwis came prepared for them

150 in that first test means he will be persisted with, imho.

Still in his first year. Very tough to perform in situations he has been put under by legends

If I was Gambo, I wouldn't give chances to Sarfu unless I run out of options.

Obviously, would drop Rohit and Kohli for sure.

 

I don't mind the failures but yeh kya batting tha.

 

I have no hope from him in Aus.

[sensible-indian]

If we had Jurel for this game, he would have got those 25 runs.

 

Heck, Washington instead of Sarfu in lineup - we would have won.

This management is GHATIYA.

 

Thank you NZ for the 0-3.

 

It might hurt now but it will shake us up.

 

If it doesn't, then 0-5 is gonna do it anyways.

Batting collapses is where this series was decided. We had too many and could barely induce any in Nzl. For whatever reason Ashwin and Jadeja didn't have the expected impact in destroying their rhb and lhb and we were struggling when they averaged what they would in more benign conditions.

We don't have too many options though. I guess he'll be dropped for Kela in BGT. I don't know what to feel about that.

 

Sarfaraz seems to have batted on flatter tracks only.

Why not Washington ahead of Rohit, Kohli?

Sarfraz has been found out. Can't play spin and seam,swing.He won't last long 

[Nikhil_cric]

No this is not one of those things.  A lot of things could've been better. 

 

Spinners bowled crap for 2 Tests and failures continued to fail. 

 

Also the planning for the batters was non existent.

Indian team played badly but Nz got rub of green.First test where most teams give up in india they got ideal conditions while bowling then win important tosses and were helped by blunders like dropping jurel,axar,

And poor captaincy.

[dilliboy]

Vikrant piling it on Rohit and Kohli on Aaj tak

T20 se hi kaam chala lo bhai ab

That first test was supposed to be washed out. All forecasts were indicating it. Would that that had actually happened. 

[Norman]

Sarfraz is bad. He's not international material whatsoever. But sadly we might have to endure him because of his PR and the minority quota in the team..

 

Jurel should have played all these last 5 home Tests but alas..we played these garbage cans.

[urbestfriend]

Disappointed that Axar has not been given chance, Bapu has delivered most of the time whenever he was given chances with both bat and ball.
