Chapman was a misfit at 7 , he never got the time to settle ,Yeah, we did suffer because of this. Latham was obviously a walking wicket but I was disappointed with the output from both Phillips and Chapman. They both had their chances throughout but didn't produce.
Phillips, I think, will go on to be a very good int'l batsman. I had high hopes for Chapman, but I now don't think he's up to it at the top level. Latham should also should play no further ODI cricket.
I won't hold my breath, though. We have chumps in charge, who don't make changes by choice. They lucked into playing Ravindra, after all.
Excellent analysis, and yeah nz were in the game till 42nd over of kuldeep , they were only 6 runs behindWell done India, always a step ahead and although the Blackcaps showed plenty of fight it was always going to be a step too far.
Losing the toss was obviously tough but there is where we didn't do anything with an element of surprise.
It was never going to happen, but KJ in for Southee would have been worth the gamble imo. Basically we knew Timmy was going to be tapped all over
the park but they were never dropping him unfortunately.
Another move that would have been worthwhile was moving Chapman up the order in front of Latham. Basically he is a gun player and he proved that
some six months ago when he was our best 20/20 player for a while. But he always seems to come in under the most hopeless circumstances.
He can really hit the ball around but he needs a couple overs to get his eye in but he just can't seem to buy a decent opportunity.
At 220/2 it was game on big time, and from the angle at the ground I was in I thought Kane may of hit a six but sadly it wasn't to be.
The crowd had just started to go very quiet and I can assure you they were extremely concerned.
With 8 overs to go there was again a glimmer of hope but then Kuldeep's over that conceded only 2 runs kind of put the game beyond doubt.
He could. But he won’t. He’s a liability except when he bowls exceptionally - and he has to bowl exceptionally every time to make up for all his other deficits.Or he could get into the zone and scythe through the opposition. Who knows?
He's a very "in the zone" bowler like in the Wankhede 2021 test and the Lord's 2021 test.
Come on man... They played a great game, they almost made a chase of 400 possible. They more than proved their worth yesterday. It may end up being the most we were pushed all tournament.The team that rightfully deserved to be in the finals made it. NZ were sloppy towards the end of the tournament and barely made it to semis.
I mean Siraj was horrible yesterday as wellCome on man... They played a great game, they almost made a chase of 400 possible. They more than proved their worth yesterday. It may end up being the most we were pushed all tournament.
Or you know, Bumrah, Jaddu continue having off days on sunday and Siraj, Shami and Kuldeep join them.
I was ok with trying to adapt Chapman to that finisher role at 7. It's a tough role and he'd prefer to bat at say, 5, but there was no room, it fitted the rest of our playing XI and he'd shown some early-innings hitting ability. We've lacked finishers for a long time and I was keen to try him ahead of Neesham.It is a bit weird, Chapman played his way into the side with a few exceptional series batting at 4, iirc.
He’s then shoehorned into things at this World Cup at 7, playing a totally different role.
Fair enough if he isn’t in the top team, but I’m not too sure how he ended up in this ball one hitting role. He’s done well in it at times, but it’s not really him, I don’t think?
He was more unlucky than horrible at least for his first 6 overs. Kane was surviving only off his inside edge against him for a while there. Another day, he would have had a 3 fer in those 6 overs.I mean Siraj was horrible yesterday as well
This guy is why ill be rooting for the opposition.The team that rightfully deserved to be in the finals made it. NZ were sloppy towards the end of the tournament and barely made it to semis.
Dude quite a few posters have been harping on abt pitch doctoring, unfair contest blah blah blah.Okay, if you say so! Hard to recall anyone suggesting India weren't favourites.
He said he has been a better keeper bat as he feels he kept better.Did DK just say that Lokesh was better than QDK in this WC?
That's a joke
Ball stopped often when India batted and it happened like thrice when u guys batted.Not even a cm of swing for us and it's hooping a foot now
No, not at all. It's a light-hearted dig at DK...and the bunch of senile old men in the commentary box, one who called Lokesh Rahul Dravid.He said he has been a better keeper bat as he feels he kept better.
You are really hating India doing well, aren't you?
DK is horrible but that was one good game based observation.No, not at all. It's a light-hearted dig at DK...and the bunch of senile old men in the commentary box, one who called Lokesh Rahul Dravid.
Easily far worse conditions for spinners and even seamers after the first 15 when bowling second. In a weird way the used pitch sorta neutralized the advantage of bowling first by quite a bit.Yeah it is hard to tell how much is just the toss. This spin bowling is miles better than NZ’s was though, and yet their figures are looking much the same.
Perhaps you’re right. I think I might be biased cause of one horrible over he bowled to PhilipsHe was more unlucky than horrible at least for his first 6 overs. Kane was surviving only off his inside edge against him for a while there. Another day, he would have had a 3 fer in those 6 overs.
Didn't watch it at all but I'll comment anyway. Depends how he got his wickets. Bowlers can often end up with big hauls at the end of ODI games just by virtue of being bowling when the opposition had to slog and get out to keep up with the run rate.How did Shami not get man of the match surely it’s a batsmen’s game lol

It might look weird looking at the scorecard because a 7-for is a lot more rare than a hundred, but a batsman making a century to set up a win could be perceived as more influential to the result of the game
