Wasn't it the same thing in world T20 matches on same grounds? Why blame the bowlers? Kiwi bowlers with duffy conceded 250 in the final, english bowlers conceded 250 in the semis Edited March 31 by New guy tapandrun and express bowling 2

On the same pitches a traditional set up from the 2021 aint' crossing 180. Adeliade oval was even flatter with short side boundaries. We made just 170 odd that too thanks to pandya's blistering knock. we allowed Livingstone to get away with figures like 3 overs 19 runs. You think sanju samson would have done that?

tapandrun Posted March 30 Posted March 30 (edited) frequency of getting 200 or more in t20i have increased in last 2 years. teams removed anchors and going all out attack mode when batting so there are fewer 35-40 ball fifty batter there are more 20 ball 40 batters and if some1 has a good day they are getting sub 50 ball ton, and there are some who are hitting sub 45 ball ton too. intent has gone systemic now, so not just 1-2 batters a team but every1 has intent by default, this is something similar to what eng did to odis from roy in the opening to moeen batting at 7 all will hit 4/6. t20 just a cascading effect of that frm google --200+ Scores by Top 10 T20I Teams (2023–2026) Current Rank Team 200+ Totals (Last 3 Years) Total 200+ (All-Time) 1 India 17 47 2 England 9 25 3 Australia 7 25 4 New Zealand 6 25 5 South Africa 10 29 6 Pakistan 5 16 7 West Indies 8 25 8 Sri Lanka 4 13 9 Bangladesh 1 5 10 Afghanistan 3 6 Edited March 30 by tapandrun BacktoCricaddict 1

Suhaan Posted March 31 Posted March 31 (edited) On 3/30/2026 at 12:11 AM, vvvslaxman said: We just have to readjust our expectation 4 overs 25 was a good spell before now 4 overs 40 is a good spell. That's it. At the end of the day rules are same for both teams. At the end of the days on both roads bowler won the man of the matches. Tuffy and Thakur. You just need to find that one bowler who can make that difference. That's it. Even 12rpo with bonus 1/2 wickets at Wankhede isn't bad for a bowler That metrics should be applied on batsmen who bat at 170-180 on those belters when you need to be striking there at minimum 200+ (especially as an opener) Edited March 31 by Suhaan Manucrick 1

deepdynamo Posted March 31 Posted March 31 There is severe shortage of quality T20 fast bowlers in India. Thats's huge concern. We have a factory of international class T20 batters. But very few good fast bowlers. Apart from Bumrah, Arshdeep and to a lesser extent Harshit, the cupboard is bare. Its 2026, and we are still playing Unadkat, Khaleel, Harshal and Sandeep in IPL playing XI. From the newler lot, we saw trundlers like Abhinandan Singh, Brijesh Sharma, Anshul Kamboj and Vaibhav Arora. Also, let's not forget, Mukesh and Avesh are yet to come in picture. We need to find atleast 2 good fast bowlers this season- rooting for Mayank ,Tyagi and Ashok to make an impression. Mosher and maniac 2

maniac Posted March 31 Author Posted March 31 Now or never for Tyagi. Among all the garbage he has stood out like a ray of hope. having said that me and a few others have been cheerleading him for so long, feels like eternity but always gets injured and vanishes after a couple of good spells. we need a pool of 5-6 bowlers and Tyagi fits the bill. We are stuck with Kamboj etc as our backups and I saw the Kashmir bowler too. Due to political semantics he might even get a shot soon but he is a mega trundler. Brace yourself for disappointment. tapandrun 1
express bowling Posted March 31 Posted March 31 (edited) 18 hours ago, deepdynamo said: @express bowling My feelings are very similar. In India, the 140 k+ pacers, apart from Bumrah, had not really worked on developing T20 skills. Harshit is partly there. And the medium pacers, apart from Arshdeep, lack hurrying ability and T20 skills even. But this year brings hope. Tyagi seems to have developed T20 skills and retains his ability to bowl very quickly with bounce. Hope Mayank retains his 155 k speed with accuracy and bounce. And Ashok Sharma has been a massive wicket taker in SMAT this season while bowling upto 150 k. Gurnoor Brar, 6'5" and 145 k+, may develop white ball skills under Nehra. Let's see Edited April 1 by express bowling Mosher and deepdynamo 2
tapandrun Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Bowling looking v.good today, with just one 6 hit so far , issue some times is just the batter quality. Srh bowling was poor quality.

Let's see T20 batting have evolved astronomically but bowling has not, bowlers needs x-factor need to have lot of brains with ability. Some have to understand that getting a cheap over is also a big win in large scheme of things. They need to pre-empt the batters. maniac 1
