The FINAL- South Africa vs India (D), Kensington Oval, Barbados-- June 29th

[SillyCowCorner1]

Legend

Absolutely.

Nortje can just settle into a rhythm with the start SA have had. India really could've rattled him and made him go for runs on a deck like this.

yeah they dont have the batter to do that now

Don't like india sending axar in ahead of dube. If your going to try and play this "agressive brand of cricket" don't back away from it the second **** goes wrong in a pressure game. They did the same thing vs ENG in the 2022 WC where they decided to consolidate and explode at the death on a flat pitch after early pressure.

While in theory you're kinda correct, in practice the alternative was sending in Dube.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Proper treatment for the part-timer.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Axar is India's Quickfix Man. Fills in every conceivable niche in that team.

Axar's a better bat and a more convincing aggressive bat when he wants to be than Dube.

 

[King Kane]

Axar is Plan B but he is working out OK for India.

 

[ankitj]

So why play Dube as a batsman when you don't trust him.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

In the arc, out the park

 

[Daisy The Cow]

Congratulations India

Are you saying dube can't do the only job he was picked for?

 

[Tec15]

This partnership is getting threatening now.

 

[reyrey]

While in theory you're kinda correct, in practice the alternative was sending in Dube and losing another wicket for no additional runs.

Fixed

Seems a perfectly reasonable thing to say.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Maharaj 2-23 (3)

Axar is the hero we need but not the one we deserve

 

[trundler]

One can only assume Dube has naked pics of the captain and can't be dropped

 

[Nintendo]

What's with the Dube hate? I know he had a slow end to the IPL and had been lacklustre at points in this tournament, but he's not THAT bad is he? Been the best middle order bat across the past 3 IPL seasons, dominated the same AFG attack (BAR rashid) that made the semi's this WC and has played some important innings this WC (34 vs bangladesh, 31 vs USA). Even his 28 vs Australia was fine.

 

[DriveClub]

Maybe dube should smoke a doobie before he comes out to bat, it could help him
