Bumrah as captain? 

Not viable given that he takes a lot of breaks.Let us not add more pressure to him. You can find many Suryas. I don't think you can find another Bumrah easily. So let him play without any external burden.

Did guys hear his interview? 

 

"It's part of the game. We will learn from it, sit back and bounce back. Hopefully bat well, bowl well and field well. Keep it simple. That is what we will try to do," he said.

 

He is relying on hope.He will "try to do". He won't do.

All this constant team construction has increased the ambient AQI and made SKY toxic.

Watch limited cricket but whatever i have seen of sky, there's plenty to dislike

 

1. Team selection. Kuldeep and axar for me are automatic selections.

2. His own batting.

3. His tattoos... will suit pandya or kohli but not on his personality...if a kohli or a pandya chews gum,  would look like confident and chilling, but when sky chews he looks like releasing his nervous energy.

4. His not shaking hands with pakistan, one match was maybe okay-ish after Pahalgam. Against gamesmanship to not shake hands always @Lord @Lone Wolf

Saw the F1 movie, Brad Pitt in one of the team meetings says 'Hope is not a strategy'.

Not shaking hands is an instruction from higher ups

This useless HACK was lucky to hv survived 12 balls against ZIM.   ZIM dropped an easy catch when this HACK was on 8.   

 

Happens every match with him. He tries to play across the line to fine leg irrespective of whether the fielder's there or not. Most of the time he gets out cheaply and the only time he scores is if he's dropped like he did against US and Zim. Against better teams he's going to fail.

How media handles captains lately hasn’t helped either. More than on-field management, media seems to focus on how captain handles press conferences. It’s worked for Surya because of the strong team. He seems to shoo/humor away legitimate questions to hide the lack of depth in thinking .

To think that we used to often question the greatness of Sachin Tendulkar when he wouldnt score against the likes of Glenn Mcgrath or Akhtar, how have we fallen!

 

Now, we have a captain who is totally Sheet, arrogance and attitude as if he is a blessing to cricket world, cant bat and score for his life! Players like SKY and Pandya dont have a place in the team. SKY especially

Pandya has place in the team, not SKY. Pandya and SKY shouldn't be discussed in the same breath as these two are poles apart. Pandya walks into our LOI team and is probably our MVP alongside Bumrah, whereas SKY is holding the team back and Iyer replacing him would make the team so much better.

Our SKY Is totally capable pulling the santner lol If anything he is few levels above santner.  Giving 18th over to an off spinner

 

That's what scares me about SKY-GG combo. Now more than the toss I'm worried about what new strategy and team selection will they unleash :fear1::fear:

Honestly when philip started the over in my head i was thinking gutsy but right call. At the start of over i didnt think it was a bad call at all.
