Can't carry two passsngers that too as Captain and Vice-Captain.

The strength and weakness is depends up on the template directly Ind tinkered with it and it is now showing its results. it was showing since the asia cup but wins have put a cloth on it .

 

<opener-1>

<opener-2 has to be wk>

<batter> out of top 3 batter on should be a wk and one of them should be able to bowl

<batter>

<batter>

<batter who bowl seamers>

<All rounder spin>

<***bowler who could bar/ finisher/ extra bowler>  this position opened once wk started to open

<mystery spinner>

<defensive pacer>

<attacking pacer>

 

so crux is ::: out of top 3 batter on should be a wk and one of them should be able to bowl, only deviation can happen if there is v.strong t20 player, like pooran, klasen, buttler kind of batter can play in mo.

this template gives you 7 bowlers and 8 batters

Gill is asking for ICU.  Not van.   He has written a letter to bcci stating that he wishes to play 2 balls in every match before eventually spending remaining time inside the ICU which is his favorite place.  

These days its seems to be mine to

The last match was an exception. Hardik usually plays at a Strikerate of 140 only even though he comes lower down the order.

 

Pandaya's best position is at #5 that's where he has sr of 148, #6 and #7 his sr are 127 and 121 .

dark days ahead Bumrah's loss of form, sky's loss of form, too many dead weights like Gill, Dube

[Frustrated]

Bumrah and Arshdeep could not swing the ball even an inch.  While SA pacers (incl No name pacers whose names we haven't heard of) generated massive swing and bounce on the same pitch.  

[Frustrated]

Bumrah is done.  He should be dropped from all formats. Every series that he plays, Ind gets whitewashed or loses badly.  He bowls 2 full tosses in every over.   

[nitinbwj]

India never lost when both Arshdeep and Bumrah played. SA hammered them both and this streak was also broken

 He is not the same. Gets tonked for sixes now. End is near.

Axar has become this generation's Ravi Shastri. Made to fit in anywhere.

Swiss army knife cricketer. Does what he is told to do in any situation.

This match will be used to drop Arshdeep forever now

His place is one of the secure ones in the team along with captain, Abhishek, Pandya, Varun, Bumrah and Gill.

Only it's a blunt knife.

That is a really apt metaphor!

[nitinbwj]

Pandoo's innings was weird also. Wonder what he was thinking ?

Yep. Even a mediocre/no-name Pak opener (S Farhan) easily kept hammering him in every match for 2 sixes in one over (AsiaCup)

[Manucrick]

Gg just destroying the team he destroyed test almost destroyed t20 . at the moment Roko saving odi team 

[Tillu]

Got to give it to the Aussie bowlers. Unlike Bumrah they never lose their spark even after crossing 35+. They always play like they still have something to prove.

[nitinbwj]

SKY career nowadays 

 

 

[nitinbwj]

WTF ! There is an U19 Asia Cup going on and Ind U19 is playing UAE U19. Suryavanshi is 163 not out in 87 balls,14 sixes  We already had an emerging Asia Cup in which only he fired.  Why are we wasting this guy in these tatti lq tournaments which we will lose anyways

Being taller and having better run ups/actions helps. 

Not to mention, the likes of Starc skipped T20 cricket for a decade to preserve his body.
