If ace bowler and spinners showed up on Nov 19 both Rohit and Kohli would have said goodbye today.

I would like to Rohit to work on his fitness if he intends to continue, he has to be the most optimal version of himself, great innings today, pure class.

If batters had shown up the way they did today, we win the tourney. 240 was a pretty low total and it was on batters.

yep yesterday also won by bowlers by pulling them back to 250. Batters still struggled lol

On a Pitch where guys like part time spinner Bracewell outbowls all Indian spinners.Batsmen did just fine.

 

 

NZ bowlers showed the heart which was missing from Indian bowlers on Nov 19. India was 105/0 still NZ bowlers never gave up till last over that too with their ace bowler missing the match.

 

Once It was clear Shami was having off day on Nov 19, match was over.Forget winning there was no fight either.

no it was the flatter pitch. They were looking good for 300 at 10 over stage. Even for spinners it didn't turn that much.They were just very accurate and didnt allow any free runs.

Batters did ok here coz it was a pretty good total. The 2023 WC Final would've lost here as well as they didn't have the depth which Axar and Pandya provides.

So he's saying he's not sure of playing 2027. Needs to take that call now. No point blocking Jaiswal if hes not gonna play 2027

IMO selectors have to have a chat about him and India's plans for 2027 WC. Rohit will be 40 then with fading fitness and inconsistent. Having him in the team ahead of Jaiswal would be criminal when Jaiswal can give you the same aggression at the top of the order as his 6 hitting in Tests and performances in T20 & IPL show.

 

We can't have someone like Jaiswal waiting to make his ICC tourney debut in 30s when we already see what Rachin has done for NZ and Jaiswal is better than Rachin! ODIs are played on flat pitches and IMO will be Jaiswal's best format. We've to unleash Jaiswal and I expect him to be a batter who averages 55 with a SR of 110. Would be perfect ally to Gill and a left-right combo to boot.
