Bouncy conditions need a completely different team.

I believe you should always have 18-20 or atleast 15 players ready ,for these two conditions and play them on rotation irrespective of conditions So that you remain competitive in all conditions express bowling, vvvslaxman and nevada 3

vvvslaxman Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 As per Mcgrath who is in INdia had a chance to see our guys and he says INdians were nervous before the match lol. Sanju is the only one who doesn't seem to be nervous.
vvvslaxman Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 As per Mcgrath India losing the game early helped them. In 2023 we should have dropped a game somewhere Tillu 1
vvvslaxman Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 (edited) As per Mcgrath South Africa dropped their shoulders immediately after loss of toss against NZ. We bloody lost 3 tosses still bossed the opposition. Edited March 11 by vvvslaxman
vvvslaxman Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 It is so great to hear Pigeon talk about Bumrah !! They just love him.

They needed that realization that they are not playing their best t20i cricket which they have been playing. And from there everything was switched-on. Odi wc-23, Ind was down in the finals and the issue was they never counter-attacked Aus and played in Aus hand. Aus was the side who could have beaten them and they beat them in the Finals.

Australia came in battle hardened. Nothing to lose situation. India was never tested in the first round. We just dropped the guard.

And Aus being a team which has been there and done that does not come under-pressure of big games. Ind dint score a 4/6 from over 11-40 (if not wrong), Situation and occasion got to them. Had there been any other team they would have hit 4/6 tried to build some pressure on Aus, Ind dint

Even in 2015 we topped the group or 2nd in group tapandrun 1
