4th June - Group B - India v Pakistan

[srbhkshk]

Dhawan, I take back everything crap I have said about you over the years.

 

[vcs]

Dhawan's love affair with the CT continues.

 

[Black_Warrior]

For a guy who's place is constantly under scrutiny, it's pretty remarkable that Dhawan averages 44 @ 90 in ODIs. Always steps up in the big tournaments too.

One of the best openers in ODI cricket hands down. Don't know why it is under scrutiny. I would rate him second only to Warner and on par with the likes of Hales/Roy/Guptill, if not better.

Dont think Pakistan can chase anything 300+

 

[Contra]

People confuse Dhawan's T20 performance with his ODI performance. Dhawan is crap in T20's.

God its so good to have Dhawan back

Shoaib Malik still being a thing always amuses me

awta. His slow starts tend to not hurt as much in ODIs. Same for Rohit really.

Malik loves India tho. Won't be suprised if he got runs today.

I'm pretty sure he was gun in the u19 WC he played in and was leading run scorer. Seems to have this trait from early.

Sarfraz's nose looks like something out of an Asterix comic.

Warner, QdK, Amla, Rohit, Guptill are all better. But he's still pretty damn good.

Was worried about his form coming into this tounrmanet tbh, but those runs in the IPL seem to have helped.

Yeah we've got Yuvi too. Throwback to 2007.

Yeah we've got Yuvi too. Throwback to 2007.

It's like that Test where we had Gambhir and Jeetan Patel. And Parthiv was playing that game too no?

Seems to be a trend

 

[Daemon]

Sarfraz just called Shadab "beta" (son)

 

[cnerd123]

Ofc Warne thinks the legspinner who has gone for 28 in 4 has done a good job

 

[Burner]

On recent form Warner maybe better but there's no opener in world cricket that stands up to pressure like Dhawan does. No one.

 

[Burgey]

Seven lines of blow per nostril

Reckon Yadav has him beat there

India first innings sweepstakes:

***** - 320

Was the guy who could have won India that 2015 Semis, looking so great, then played a dumb shot to get out.
