Do India tend to lift their game up for ICC events?


Recommended Posts

Posted

We saw it in the Champions Trophy last year. We're seeing it again. Our bowlers look untouchable. Our batsmen are scoring runs with ease. Do India tend to lift their game up at ICC events, or do opponents crumble under high pressure at ICC events and we respond much better to it?

Ind has a great record when it comes to winning major tourneys .... However, it is not consistent. In some tourneys, you will find Ind playing crap, while in some it will be awesome. But I will take Ind's record vs. some of the teams who do well consistently but fail to lift the cup. Aus is an exception in a way that it does both - lifts cups and does well in most tourneys on a consistent basis

Not really. Just that the conditions suited us in England and looks like the same in Bangladesh. Once our spinners get into the game' date=' we are a force.[/quote'] You are back :omg:

This win leaves me feeling hot and cold. Where is the ruthlessness from India? Conceding plenty of wides. Two dropped catches. Dumb no balls. 21 runs conceded in the last over to a *****y batsman. The batting as well. Poor start with the wicket. Taking only 2 balls from 20 end. This should have been finished off in 18 overs. There will be a time when its a close match and things like this will mean we lose. In the asia cup we lost v Pak and SL cause of dropped catches and stumpings.

MS certainly looked a lot more focused. He's like a man on a mission. Wonder if playing & captaining non-stop cricket across formats makes him a bit jaded and predictable.

He was not laughing at him but just laughing casually. It was a warm up game, so they were not taking it seriously.

dhawan should play his natural game, he seems too defensive. Rahane should open cause rohit played a selfish, team-staying knock. rahane is a much better fielder too
