vvvslaxman Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 Aaron george looks like Sanju samson. Even talks like him lol
Gollum Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Not saying Afghan players don't do age fraud, but let us go easy on them. I am sure being born and brought up in warzones also makes them look older than they are, all the stress, refugee camp life, inadequate access to water/food, exposure to ammo, these things take a toll on one's hair/skin. Look at videos of 18-19 year old conscripts in WW-II, all looked older than they actually were. Forward Defence 1

Gollum Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Don't think any Indian fan here minds an Afghan win, after all they are our second team, and little bros raki05 1
Sgattick10 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 India going nicely, should win this easy if they can keep their head on their shoulders raki05 1

Every squad of ours has thrown 2-3 high ceiling prospects. 2012 was a hyped squad, and they beat Aussies in the final, in Australia. Unmukt Chand's team. No big name emerged from that bunch. My favorite squad was 2006 one (lost a cracking final against Pooks), gave us 3 future legends in Jadeja, Pujara, Rohit.

He is talking about taking singles lol Lord Bavuma is the greatest cricket mind among current players, just like Clive Lloyd he brought down Aussies in a final in Lord's. Whatever he says, better take a pen and note it down. vvvslaxman, Forward Defence and cricspirit 1 2
vvvslaxman Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 Players do get better. SOme guys have all their basic attributes still intact. Look at Josh Hazlewood here. I don't think he tinkered too much after this. Sgattick10 1

Felt like EA sports with some cheat code Gollum 1
deathmonger Posted February 4 Posted February 4 2010 and 12 not providing prospects meant that in tests we jumped from Kohli-Pujara-Rohit-Rahane to Gill-Pant-Jaiswal-Jurel without anyone in between. So one batch aged out and one hadn’t matured enough. cowboysfan 1

vvvslaxman Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 Afghanistan bowlers almost bowls one or two loose balls every over. Not maintaining the intensity
