Gollum Posted February 25 Posted February 25 This format is fine. Just that pre-seeding nonsense should have been avoided, and lumping Ind, Pak in the same group again Have a proper draw ceremony like they have in football and tennis.

They have ruined this tournament because of TV revenue greed. @neel roy pointed it out. Australia didn't make it so sandas ho gaya. It would've made our route extremely hard.

tapandrun Posted February 25 Posted February 25 (edited) This is a t20 format, not many teams have been consistent, Ind had a bad day. This is called having a bad day, the other bad days of the past were where Ind batting ended after top 3 batters, which was bad planning and that was waiting to happen scenario. Ind batting failed collectively they were unable to get close to the target, can happen to any team in t20. Can Ind qualify for SF not sure. While batting SA lost early wkt but they kept attacking Ind bowlers thats the best way to play vs Ind, can not go defensive vs Ind. While Ind batting too SA kept attacking after posting a good total.

Problem is not just about having a bad day. It's about the lack of common sense. They could have easily scored 150-160 and lost by 20-30 runs but the lack of self awareness shown was mind-boggling. When India lost the first 3-4 wkts cheaply nearly everyone knew the match was gone and it was all about saving NRR at that point knowing fully well it may come down to NRR between Ind and WI. But the way the team totally ignored that aspect and played as if it was a random match in a bilateral with no concern showed for NRR is what annoys fans the most. If India had lost by 20-30 they would have the destiny in their hands as you can make up such a NRR but losing by nearly 80 while chasing 180 odd is disastrous and that's on the coach and team management, and their low IQ, which is exactly what the thread is calling out.

It was a chase-able target , SA bowled well plus the team selection.Hopefully this shows how useful the utility of Sundar in white-ball is. 1 game/instance does not tell much about IQ. After losing 3 wkts they changed eveything. Sundar coming up the order. Pandaya pushed down. Pandaya could have been the bettr player who could kept up with the rr than Sundar. This is not low IQ this bad planning and over-estimating some players. You bat till 8 for thse days and if batters do not show-up thats a problem or the other team played lot better. Even with 8 batters Ind never put SA underpressure or counter attacked, SA counter attacked after 3 wkts and Ind sent Sundar. It was a case of capitulating underpressure rather than low iQ, pressure and fear tends to leading into taking wrong decisions. Since this WC started Ind team has been under-pressure, the only batter able to counter punch is Kishan and he didnt perform in the game vs SA and everyone else was exposed.

The decision to send Sundar at 5 was expecting him to play the role which Axar played so well at 2024 WT20 and in 2025 CT. But the problem is Sundar is not exactly Axar. This kind of selection and decision making is why this thread is there and shows the low IQ of the coach (GG) and think tank which thinks that Sundar is of same caliber as Axar! If Axar played the match he would've bowled much better and wouldn't have bowled half-trackers. Plus would've fielded better and also would've scored a quick 20-30 odd. Overall, the match would've been a lot closer and India would still have destiny in its hands. tapandrun and GoldenSun 2

We lost one game after being invincible in 2024 T20 WC, 2025 CT and Asia Cup...even in 2023 ODI WC, we were invincible till the last game. Who was around then to make it possible On a serious note, lack pressure handlers and full of sloggers, it was bound to catch up.

Dressing room ko pagalkhana aise hi bande bana sakte hai. So true! @Lord, I owe you an apology. I backed GG as the coach and thought he would be similar to how he used to captain. But I've been proven wrong! GG has no clue as to players' abilities, is obstinate and bull-headed, isn't adaptable and makes all sorts of selection and strategic errors. One of the worst coaches I've seen and I would prefer an overseas one who doesn't hold a grudge the way he does against Iyer.
