Indian fans bad news and justified pessisim thread #FatRahiHai

[honestbharani]

Shami ain't that good outside of India, lets be realistic. He probably goes well in Australia but that's about it.

First we should win the WC , then we can have the discussion how this Team would have done in other Countries.
NZ in 2015 WC also looked invincible but they didn’t win the CUP and no one remembers them now .

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Yeah I forgot Shami sucked in 2019 and 2015 WC.

In reality, India is one of his weaker countries.

His away average and economy is better than home.

 

[honestbharani]

I am not gonna argue about Shami in 2015. He was leading the attack, playing through an injury and was still one of the AT performances for us in a WC. But I just dont think his bowling suits most away conditions we face.

No they didn't. They almost lost to Aus and Ban was also close to beating them.

Ban was never beating them . Agree with Aus part .

4 #11s is never a good idea in LO cricket.

But right now, its our best side.

Hence bat first and allow bowlers to capitalize on scorecard pressure. Can't risk chasing anything above 275 and then having a collapse at the top.

Either way, does not fill with confidence.

this shami is in his mid 30s with over a decade's experience and just before the age where fast bowlers begin to lose pace

he would have done this anywhere

 

[ma1978]

Let’s get back to the point. It’s a ridiculous team but…

Remember Jonah Lomu, remember the all conquering 1994 All Blacks. They still lost in the final.

fill yourself with dread. The end is nigh. A rough beast slouches towards Bethlehem.

His "official" age of 33 is definitely false.
He is 35-36+ and will lose pace soon.

Now I feel like Ozzies might actually win this.

 

[Sunil1z]

Now I feel like Ozzies might actually win this.

This is why topping the group was so necessary. Imagine playing them in semi-final .

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

I’ll like to see you all, after Ind decimate Aussies for a second time

 

[Adorable Asshole]

It shouldn't even get to that. They shouldn't even make the final.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

It shouldn't even get to that. They shouldn't even make the final.

I assume you are referring to the Aussies

Positives for us from this game: Maxwell might be injured.

Negatives: He might not be injured.

Guys who are we more scared of? NZ or Pak? Ravindra or Fakhar? Boult or Afridi? Kane or Babar? Sodhi or Nawaz?

Fakhar. On his day, Fakhar can is unstoppable and tough to plan against due to his unorthodox style. NZ are too conventional, don't expect them to surprise us. But it's a lottery after the group stage. So u never know.

 

[Cruxdude]

If we play Pakistan on that Kolkata pitch I think we should win 9 out of 10 times. Chasing at Wankedhe could be a crapshoot especially with our thin batting line up. Still want us to face NZ in the semis.
