This is going to be the new surgical strikes before the election.

I agree that we have been bat shit in knockouts for quite some time but this team really was playing exceptional cricket. The fact we absorbed Hardik's loss so easily was a testament to it. Both limited overs team now will require re-build or refresh so tough to see us replicate a similar run so...

Absolutely gutted. In the end we kind of played ourselves by messing around with pitches. I actually think we would have had much better chance of winning on a standard ODI pitch where par score is between 320-350. Instead this obsession with preparing slower pitches finally cost us when we...

Yeah, we got under too much pressure after that Iyer wicket. KL just fumbled it with his approach.

Ball isn't gripping or skidding for our spinners. Pitch almost looks too slow for that.

He scored 8 of those in the first over itself...

It wasn't even out :drool: :lol:

Amazing ball.

Smith and Head are the key wickets. I will back us to win this even with dew if we can get them both before 20 over mark.

It's smart since Jadeja would be unplayable on this wicket if there is no dew

Dew or not we need to dislodge the two leftie openers within first 10 overs.

I will be honest, I was pretty much going by NYT/WaPo coverage of the war for my take, so I will take your word on media coverage. Overall I still feel if this issue dampens some enthusiasm amongst young Democrat voters it can cost Biden the election. I also don't believe US will allow Israel to...

Media coverage in US is turning against Israel in US now. Even NYT comment section, which is good indicator of liberal Hillary/Biden supporting Democrats, is turning against Israel after initially they were all for Israel eradicating Hamas for Oct 7 attack. The generational divide within...

Ahmedabad is a bit different. But today game was over as soon as India won the toss. Batting first and taking advantage of swing under lights at Wankhede was the only chance NZ had.

2015 was the same, just that Oz that loss in group stages against NZ that made people think that NZ had a chance in the finals. ODI is just a dead format IMO, time to retire it for T20s and Tests.
