Kohli is just not a big match player, his WC record is pretty average too.Dhoni deserves criticism. When Jadeja's strike rate was 133, Dhoni's was 57. As usual, he put more pressure on his team mate to hit the big shots instead of taking the pressure off him. He left it way too late as usual.
But the majority of the criticism should be directed towards the so called No.1 and No.2 ODI batsmen.
What's the point of scoring 5 hundreds when you don't step up when it matters ?
WC 2015 semi, CT final 2017, Now this semi, both have flopped massively when it mattered. This has become a regular occurence now.
Nah he was so poor at rotating strike back to Jadeja in the lead up to the 46th over is what left them with far too much to do which is criminal when he can't hit boundaries anymore.Dhoni played it to perfection until about the 46th over imo. He was bad for the next 2 overs sure but it's always tricky when chasing 10 runs an over and two balls can change things.
This is a game where India didn't stand any chance of winning before that partnership and I find it silly that the talk is about one of the only 2 players that stood up.
Haha I feel I would get really annoyed at it after a while but as a novelty, splitting an ODI across two days was an interesting spin on the format.70 pages for a single ODI has got to be a record.
Two Day Internationals should be a thing?
It almost felt like a different format. Weird and compelling70 pages for a single ODI has got to be a record.

We tried to tell you ...I'm an idiot.
Reserve days should be standard in all WC games and should be used before DLS.70 pages for a single ODI has got to be a record.

I think they realised quite early that 250 was going to be a challenging target on this pitch. They read it perfectly.Having said that, kudos to Roscoe and KW. What a monumental gutsy partnership. Bravado is generally defined as hitting the ball all over, but in this case, they were brave to be patient and risk a lower than par total.
It's awesome for the antipodes FTR. Usually I find I'm missing out of the best bits of some ODI's as I have to go to bed during the second innings. Here I could watch basically the whole game.70 pages for a single ODI has got to be a record.

Haha, this is such a hindsighty thing to say. They were 130 rins away from the target before the partnership. At that stage you try as best as you can to get close to the target. Dhoni gets out anywhere before at least they get 20 runs within the target and the game is done.Nah he was so poor at rotating strike back to Jadeja in the lead up to the 46th over is what left them with far too much to do which is criminal when he can't hit boundaries anymore.
I dont know about KulCha anymore. Maybe theyll be good in India for 2023, but Shami was far too good to be sacrificed.thoughts about the future:
give pant a never ending rope. we don't need to find a wk who averages 50 again in odis. yuvraj averaged 37 and he won us a wc. set him somewhere in the xi and don't ****ing touch him even if he fails for a long time. kid's heart is in the right place.
**** rahul. get shaw in there as a backup opener is sharma or dhawan get injured. or gill or mayank. rahul never
kohli has to make the sacrifice for the team and move down to 4. gill or pant should bat at 3.
wrap bumrah in cotton wool. we are probably not going to see a fast bowler as good as him for another 25 years.
jadhav's 35 bin him and start preparing for the next wc
