He did haha, I didn't even exaggerate much. It was really really dumb.
I didn't see the bowling innings so I won't comment but I think this undersells the Indian bowling even though you do give them credit. Apart from their superb first ten, in the last 15 whenever Mitchell et al tried to find gaps there just weren't any. And so when they tried to go over they got out. There was plenty of intent. It was simply outdone by phenomenal tight bowling to a plan. We can analyse all we want but India were just better than our batsmen could handle. If anything Ravindra tried to hit out too early...a few more overs with him in might've been better because it seemed like it was decided he would be the one to lift with Mitchell the one to anchor and he got out almost straight away.
Who the **** are you and what did u do to OS?
Number 11 is pretty much gambhiring like that time subs started a thread on India's test side.The only negative thing with India doing well is that lots of troll posters start unnecessary hyping up India . And these guys will disappear when we lose overseas in SENA countries
Whom did NZ drop?
I agree it’s not meaningful but 2015 is irrelevant, you still want to win all your group stage matches.
And in 2014 WT20 , we won all the matches only to lose in final .
Ind beat SA in 2015 WC by 130 runs who nearly beat NZ in SF . Please stop devaluing your own team victory .
Embarrassing
What are you talking about?
I haven't caught much of Ferguson's bowling this tournament so far, so that's news if he's not bowling many slower balls. Think it's notable that on these pitches, the two quickest bowlers in the tournament (Rauf and Wood) have been absolutely pummelled. "I'd like to report a murder" level of pummelled. Ferguson probably the next quickest and a similar style of bounce bowler (someone like Starc is different), so he's going to need to have his variations working as the tournament progresses.
No , I am not saying India was better than Aus in 2015 . I am saying topping in our group wasn’t that easy that you are writing it off .
It involved beating SA and Pakistan which I’m not discounting; it wasn’t easy. That said, I’m just not sure it’s analogous because a) this format is harder and b) someone would have to pull of an upset to beat us. BTW, I’m still nervous as hell about the knockouts.
This is all hindsight of course but looking at how the pitch was behaving when India started bowling, I thought Southee would've been better than Ferguson in those conditions.
It won't be popular on here, but I'd love to see Southee get given a go bowling first change. His record in ODIs since the last World Cup has been solid, much better than Ferguson, and sometimes you just have to forget about the role your players are playing and give the guys who are performing a go.
