Indian fans bad news and justified pessisim thread #FatRahiHai

[HouHsiaoHsien]

What if he scores something 80+ in the finals?

I was talking about the Bumrah vs Kohli debate in knockouts.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Depends on the context. Needs to be something like Waugh's 120. He has scored a lot of runs but his S/R has not been good while Shami has been near perfect with the ball

POTS would be most probably be deservedly Shami. In Kohli’s case, what is important is he had to have a dominant WC(to be called the ODI goat)and so far he’s done that

 

[ankitj]

Too much positivity here. Lets not lose sight. There were some signs of slippage in standards yesterday. Siraj was poor, Bumrah had a very poor start. Jadeja was launched back over his head multiple times. Fielding wasn’t very good.

Voice of reason finally.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

I was talking about the Bumrah vs Kohli debate in knockouts.

Then yeah. He will go past Bumrah unless Bumrah takes a 4fer or something. But I don't think Bumrah has been particularly bad in ICC knockouts. Not clutch but not bad.

 

[OverratedSanity]

**** me this final is going to be painful

Hopefully Modi doesn't let us lose.

 

[Victor Ian]

Is there a Shami appreciation thread? If not, do it. I appreciate him

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Serious question to the posters on this thread, how would you (in a chronological order) list the contributions of players from India’s squad from most to least valuable?

I’d go: Shami, Kohli, Rohit, Bumrah, Kuldeep/Iyer, Jadeja

Answering yourself

Shami , Iyer , Rohit , Rahul, Kohli

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Shami , Iyer , Rohit , Rahul, Kohli

Iyer ahead of Kohli?

 

[Sunil1z]

Iyer ahead of Kohli?

Definitely.
Without Iyer we would have ended at 350-360 which might have been chased .

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Yesterday’s SF agreed. Was asking about the whole tournament tho. Otherwise why would I list Iyer behind Bumrah.

 

[srbhkshk]

Shami >= Kohli > Rohit > Bumrah > Jadeja > Kuldeep >= Iyer > Rahul > Gill > Siraj > SKY

The whole team has played pretty well apart from SKY and Siraj both of whom have still had a couple decent games.

 

[centurymaker]

Shami > Rohit-Kohli > Bumrah > Iyer-Jadeja-Kuldeep-Rahul > Gill


All 9 player above have been very good or great. Most of them hard to separate.

Then there is Siraj and Surya who have been poor as expected.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Thakur was surely better than Shami for the first 4-5 games.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

That tells you how good Shami has been in the matches he has played

 

[cnerd123]

Head's gonna hit 150 against us ffs. Probably get dropped by Shami or Siraj during it.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Why not dropped by both

 

[Arachnodouche]

Break from regular programming but on the subject of drops, I've never seen more catches being pouched in the stands than at this World Cup. Maybe we can sub some of the paying audience for Siraj and Shami.

 

[silentstriker]

I expected the poor fielding and listless performance by how they played vs NED. I said that’s a bad attitude that will spill over and I was right. People were making excuses about how it was to “prevent injury” but effort like that should never be allowed. If you want to prevent injury, rest the player. If you’re out there, need to be fully committed at all times.
