That was a funny game but we've been an ordinary ODI side for two full cycles now. We briefly had a spike for the 2019 WC but if anything we seem to have regressed.
Cummins ain’t that good in limited overs. Plus who knows whether Mitch Marsh will be as good later this year. Ind is also playing without Bumrah, a much bigger loss.
A much bigger loss than three players? I know he’s good but that’s a stretch lol.
India tried that earlier too and the umpires were having none of it. It's happening a lot in the Women's IPL, not sure I agree with it. If you've given the catch behind not out, you shouldn't be able to check for it on an umpire's review. Only a team referral should be allowed.
Bumrah is one of the best ODI bowlers in the world. Cummins can actually leak runs a lot in limited overs, so I feel it’s good he’s not playing. Maybe Bumrah+Pant>Cummins, Hazelwood and Maxwell.
Bumrah has averaged 38 with the ball since 2020 in odi cricket. Maxwell averages 33 @125 in odi, pant averages 34 @105. Since the start of 2020 maxwell averages 43 @130, pant averages 43 @110. If you really think a guy averaging 38 in a 4 year span is worth more than haze and cummins in this format then your as thick as pigshit.
85 other international batsmen made 100s before kohli finally got his
Bumrah’s odi average is 23. Just because he’s not done well in the last year and a half, where he has been marred by injuries, doesn’t mean Cummins atleast is close to him as a ODI bowler.
Not the past year and a half, it's since the last WC lol. He's been below par in the format for ages. Him not taking wickets in the powerplay was a major reason india had a bit of a struggle in the format post the last WC, and it's only been fixed since siraj figured out ODI cricket and started dominating that phase of the game. He hasn't been consistently injured for nearly 4 years FYI.
