Just finish this off already. Bumrah and Shami from both the ends and end this, what’s he saving Bumrah for now?
Edit - and seconds after that Chahal gets his man

We should play one match with all 3 pacers and Kulcha.
This, would love to see this. 4 matches in 10 days, so there will be some rotation, especially if India qualify soon. Maybe in one game they can play with 5 bowlers and Pant

Name and shame. I did predict them to make it to top 4 in the prediction game as a surprise package.
Just on the first two pages you've got harshad saying they should win the tournament while Di Maria and KM were calling their XI 'excellent' and 'powerhouse'.

They won't choke this year.

They will just get beaten convincingly. By a number of teams. Poor team. Poor management. One of the worst South African teams to go to a world cup.
At least one good prediction.

Windies XI looks excellent to be honest. Just lacking a proper spinner.

Gayle
Campbell/Lewis
Darren Bravo
Hope
Hetmyer
Holder
Russell
Braithwaite
Nurse
Oshane Thomas/Joseph
Alzarri Joseph

Is a very, very strong XI
Think Samid was referring to this.

Glad Kohli acknowledging that last 2 matches were not the best batting performances. Also sticking the dagger into England by mentioning us reaching no.1 rank.

Mind boggling to give MOTM to a guy who scored 70 rather than a bowler who took four wickets including three of the opponent's best batsmen.

Red Card for Casemiro!
Our bowling and fielding makes cricket look easy. And that's why we're the best team in the tournament so far despite our batting being inferior to say Australia or England.

Also, if Shankar isn't needed to bowl, why have him in the side at all? Pant had more experience than him ffs.

If Shankar is not going to bowl then I would even have Kartik ahead of him at 4.

what did he say
- As Indian fans, need to accept this is how Dhoni is going to bat in this WC.
- This style does mean if he gets out after consuming too many balls, he will get criticised.
- Despite scoring well at the end, not being able to rotate strike against spinners is an issue. If you can't find singles against them then take them on to put pressure on them.

:lol: you guys are unbeaten with dhawan and burman out and kohli averaging close to 80 with a sr of 100.
Jesus, you are being pedantic. That was a reference to the bilateral series part. Pak showed by winning against England and NZ, that they can beat any team on their day. No sane Indian fan would take victory for granted against Pakistan.

Anyway get ready to cheer for us on Sunday :)

:lol: sorry will stop now. Just think you guys will be massive favourites due to the difference in quality.

Tbf out of the top four, assuming we dont make it, I will be cheering for you guys after NZ anyways.

Better not lose to lanka though!
