India Doom and Gloom Thread

[Sunil1z]

How much chance do we have in SA series?
Give realistic estimate. I am done with Panauti non sense . Say if we have 55-45 chance then till us we are marginally better chance .

 

[honestbharani]

We have not done well under pressure in the last couple of years. And to be completely honest, ever since Dravid took over we have lost important moments.

If we had not messed up at crucial moments, in the last 2 years we would have had -

A test series win and probably a 3-0 in RSA
A test series win in England, possibly 3-1
A WTC Title
An ODI World Cup
And perhaps, 3-0 in the BG Trophy as well

Talent and ability wise, this side is up there but I just think a bit of the intangible 10% that clicked between Virat and Bewda is missing here. TBF, Dravid has not had Rohit in all the above events. So maybe and hopefully, that does work out between Dravid and Rohit and we start winning big again all over the world.

The only way in for Shaw is sadly through the IPL

Under whom we didn't do much better outside of Australia. Really sick and tired of blaming coaches for things out of their control.

Good time to reignite this one.

Our openers cant bat long, our MO cant bat at all, our LO are tired from all the bowling and all of our fast bowlers are varying levels of #12.

Ash is aging, Jaddu is injured, Axar is gng the Lord route, Kuldeep is not dependable, Bumrah is made of glass, Shami is made of something even less durable, Siraj is excitable and has lost pace.

Our keepers cant bat. The ones who can are not interested in playing long form cricket.

We are a shambles. 5-0 for England. Chris Hinton is so e and h but also right.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This team is broken. ****ing Kohli had to **** off right when he came back into form too.

 

[Daemon]

2-0 to England before Kohli returns and makes 500 in the remaining tests and we lose 5-0.

 

[subshakerz]

India likely win the next test.

 

[ma1978]

The days of India's home dominance are over. Ashwin is past his prime (still a force), Jadeja was never that good a bowler and Kohli is probably the only batter of class int he lineup.

Still fun watching Bumrah bowl.

 

[Silver Silva]

Studied for Root but Pope came out the Syllabus to baptise India !

 

[Spark]

Perhaps it's the "overrate performances against your team" thing talking but I can only wish that Jadeja wasn't actually that good a bowler. We would have two, if not three, series wins against India in the last ten years on our side of the ledger.

Incidentally I just checked and India's record in the last year is ten played, four wins, four losses, two draws. I feel like I've nailed my colours to the "India in decline?" mast but it is too early - even so... that's not great.

I feel like Pant missing plays a huge part in their recent drop off. I feel like they win this test vs England atleast if Pant is there.

Yeah I mean like I said in the other thread it's a gigantic hole. It's genuinely like replacing Gilchrist with, I don't know, Graham Manou.

we made lots of mistakes throughout the test match and still only lost by 20 odd runs. if we fix some of them we will win. if we fix most errors we will smash them

Been average for a while. They really struggled to beat Bangladesh in one of those tests too I think. Lots of players missing time hasn't helped but its still bad.

Yeah didn't Iyer seriously save your bacon in the second game? Basically been riding off that one innings ever since in Tests, really.

Not you, our 11 idiots chasing yesterday.

Chill IPL is around the corner. Lets focus on that.
