Bhuvi should have come on earlier against Fakhar in the middle overs.

Should have come on right after we got Azhar runout. zzz.

I doubt Hasan and Junaid are going to be as wayward as Bumrah and our spinners have been.This pitch has rewarded the accurate ones so far.

I mean, at some point in the game when things are going against you, someone needs to raise their hand and go 'Right, everyone calm down. This is what the plan is. This is what we'll do'.

No one in the current side seems to do that. MSD used to, but he's taken a back seat role now. Which is what I meant when I said India as a side tend to be poor when things go against them. Like the whole Fakhar innings. They never stopped, slowed down the game, set a fixed plan and a fixed field, and decide that alright, this is what we're going to do. They kept shuffling bowlers and the field and tried many things and nothing sticked. There was a lack of calm throughout the whole thing, and it almost felt like he was leaving it in the hands of the bowlers to figure out what to do instead of making the decision for them.

To me that says something about Kohli. I've played under captains who do the same thing, and it really isn't pleasant, especially when it's a crucial game. You always prefer the captain who has a plan, who is calm, who goes 'alright men, this is the plan, this is what we're going to do, we'll try it for a few overs, don't worry about the result just focus on executing it'. And usually the good captains tend to be very observant, and their plans tend to lead to favourable results.

Ofc I'm just watching on TV and am not actually on the field, so what the **** do I know, but yea that's what I define as 'going missing' and off the limited evidence I have it does feel like that.

Bhuvi tho, WAFG. Hafeez can still kill us tho...

Yea I see what you mean.

Agree they could do with slowing the game down at times when the batsmen have momentum. Warne used to be a master at that. We always rush through.

This is looking a formidable total to chase to win a final. They just need to keep their heads now and get the runs they should from here and the pressure will be huge on India.
