Which World Cup Exit was the most painful for India ?

[HouHsiaoHsien]

And we had done the same in WT20 2014 and even more favourites in CT 2017 F . Did you really underestimate the ability of this Team to choke?

Unfortunately yes. I really bad for Rohit here more than anyone. Took up a selfless role and performed it perfectly every time. Both him and Kohli were let down by babies like Gill and Iyer.

Actually Rohit is to be blamed even more . I felt Team gave up when Aus need 100 runs more .
Do you think Rohit as captain would have won us CT2013 F when England needed 30 runs in 4 overs with 6 wkts remaining.
Do you think Rohit as captain would have kept his calm and composure after the Misbah assault in 2007 WT20 F.

I meant batting wise. Captaincy wise, if you're comparing someone to MS, they're already fighting a losing battle

Well Rohit was made captain because he had won IPL 5 times . How can this guy give up so easily. SA showed more fight in their SF than us .

Captain can do only so much , he can't teach bowlers to bowl line and length , to not bowl both sides of the wicket , to not get greedy when the ball is swinging , he can't teach a keeper how to keep , can't control the dew factor ..

India lost the match with the bat , they were unbelievably poor after the first 10 overs.

After 10 overs they were 80/2 ..
Their next 20 overs they scored 72/2
The last 10 overs they only scored 45 runs

Iyer , Rahul , Yadav and Jadeja hit 3 boundaries in 160 balls at the crease.
SKY looked like he never knew anything about farming the strike at the back end.

Doesn't matter the situation of the game , you can't be that negative in 50 overs cricket.
I think there was a period of 90+ balls where no boundaries were hit which is a crime.

I also believe batting was the main culprit.
But our bowling attack converted 47/3 to 240/3 . You think , they were upto mark .
They just gave up collectively when Aus reached 150/3 .

 

[Jumno]

I watched both 03 and 2023

The most painful was the 2003 world cup final loss, dream run, ganguly, dravid, Kumble, Srinath, agarkar without a winners medal.

Trust me, the way India gave away the runs and needed an astronomical 359 was too hard to watch

My eyes lit up when the scorecard read 47/3, maybe a bowling blunder was made or a tactical mistake, spinners were looking for lbws

They should have done better with the bowling resources they had

They needed another wicket before the 90 mark

 

[Arachnodouche]

Don't feel too bad for Rohit. Remember Rohit's still the guy who once said Wait till you come to India. That's the great thing about supporting a team like India; you can enjoy the wins but you can also always find karmic reasons to justify their defeats.

 

[andruid]

1975. A real 'did you guys even bother reading the rules of the game before showing up for a World Cup?' type exit.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Has to be this one. They were the best team, home conditions, ICC under the thumb following their demands. Shouldn't have been able to lose it

 

[Jumno]

It seemed like Rohit had no other plans to use jadeja and Yadav in the final. The only plan was to get the barsman out for lbw.

I feel maybe play 6 specialist batsman and swap jadeja for Ashwin

Gavaskar saw the tournament as great open wicket practice to work on his forward defence and leaving outside off.

 

[Burgey]

Easily this. 2003 was against an ATG side.

Here we got owned by a guy who may or may not be homo sapiens.

Are you talking about Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins, Head or Marnus?

 

[Burgey]

2023 won’t be traumatic imo. We have another ICC tournament in 7 months . People will easily forget it .

Oh, I won't be letting any Indian supporter on here forget about it any time soon.

In return you will be reminded of losing 4 consecutive Test series to IND , 3 of which you had a chance of winning.

Even the great Aussie side ( 95-07) could win maximum 2 consecutive Test series against IND one of which was stolen ( 07 ) and another was due to rain ( 04)


Note : Not in a mood to fight today . Let it go .

not in a mood to fight, yet continually gets super defensive and brings up the same asinine points at every opportunity to be inflammatory. give it a rest bra, this is getting super old and tiresome

Think you meant to quote Burgey there

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Burgey well known for not being in a mood to fight

Put it this way, Australians have no bragging rights against IND after losing 4 consecutive Test series.
You should be happy about your WC victory and should enjoy . But if you will try to tease IND fans about your WC victory, be prepared to be reminded of the Test series results.
