Damn I was hoping andy would leave after the WC
Nah! I all about brutal truth. I am not going to hide stupidity of a team just because I support it.
The Indian team that played WC is not questionable when it comes to skills. It's the temperament for big game and putting the fear of failure away and playing fearless cricket is what they couldn't do and hence the result.

Whatever it takes!!!
You guys (not Andy, the rest) are writing off people based on one game.

Bishnoi and Prasidh seemed nervous. Arshdeep is rough around the edges but his potential is obvious. Mukesh had a good game. And there are few other players who would make it above this attack too, like D Chahar etc. I would give them time before writing them off.

What does worry me massively is the absolute lack of A tours from India. The feeder system seems to have been cut off totally these days and without that, I am not sure if our fast bowlers and allrounders, especially, will be able to make the adjustment both in terms of fitness and mental strength at the highest level.

Now you have nothing better to say. Everyone is seeing who is real idiot here
You should be banned for making such non cricketing comments
Relax man. @Shri is just funny like that. I do think you are writing off the players way too easily, probably because of the disappointment you are feeling from the finals loss. Its ok. A game of cricket, there is always a side that wins and a side that loses. Sure, we could have played better but it was not like we were annihilated or anything. I am still proud of how good the side were throughout the tournament and I am gonna back these kids to be great too.

County cricket is very poor these days so can't even send them their and expect a great deal of progress.

Shaw played the domestic 50 overs event and got some big knocks and had fun, but the level of bowler he was dispatching meant it was virtually meaningless sadly.

I agree with you.
I am not even worried about the main team that lost. I said it in previous post no question about skills, because of temperament they lost.
It's the lack of depth when it comes to fast bowling.
Even if I don't write them off, compare them to what's out there in the world and see where they stand.

In all honesty it's not this game, we've all been seeing these guys for long time now and every time they've looked helpless. Like zero improvement. That is my issue.
