Cricket

Haah, they lost.
PATHETIC.
Pathetic from both of the guys this time batsman had no clue what to do and bowler at the end of day 1 bowled trash not targetting stumps and letting them leave balls outside off stumps easily that let them survive the day under lights and the Captaincy is trash as always
 
Look guys do reply.

Problem is not cricket. Problem is the way these jokers are loosing and degenerating a growing India name.

We seriously should not be loosing to America Yes-man, yes, it is all about life.

They take it to their heart. We should to give them back in full return.

Avenging that Gujarat final loss is paramount.

In that woke capital reddit site r/cricket thread, australians are saying how Siraj didn't show sportsmanship when he finally got that Travis out.

Like anybody can forget how these same Australians fans treated him in 2021-22 series.

Mehh the Aussies love claming moral superiority nothing new in that Siraj got Racially abused last time too but he gave them back with a 5er next game we had macswenny sweating too in the first innings too it's just the captaincy approach that is shit Rohit is so damn defensive in his approach
Once a player gets settled Rohit goes so defensive no Short ball attacks no gully no short point he just goes back in a shell 4 back to back losses for a test captain that's fucking Huge.
 
Rohit is a good captain for ODI/T20.

He's pathetic for Tests. Like @Noob said, he goes defensive the moment the batsman scores a few boundaries.
 
Indian cricket team is like a gormint job, itna bhi load mat lo team ke harne ke bad. Once the cancer was Back in the team it's like the Nzl series never ended. Anywhere with proper accountability and they would have thrown out likes of Kohli, Rohit Sharma etc after that shameful, unprecedented debacle where we got whitewashed at home.

I don't understand what happened to Ash he was terrible by his standards vs NZ on India pitches and terrible vs Aus this game
 
gill, sharma should be dropped ASAP from test. they are useful as is a waterproof towel.
Sharma is too old and lazy and gill is just a insta fu**boi. he is weirdly inconsistent.
 
This has been story of Indian cricket since start of cricket in Indian Sub Continent. Our big players become too big and do not retire until and unless some new captain throw them back or BCCI force them to retire.

These big players should understand when's the right time is to pack the bags and leave like a Hero. Its all money which keeps them from retiring.

Kohli Saab is 37 and Brohit is 38. They already on their downward slope of losing skills and hands eye coordination but since they are big brand and BCCI pays them well, they are continuing as long a possible.

Brohit has issues with planning and taking real time action. He is too dependent on players performing well and in case players fail, he shuts off and does not know what to do. He never comes with Plan B in case Plan A fail. he does not change strategy if something is not working.

They know that Indian has weakness in playing Pink ball but they did not practice with Pink ball all these years.​

didn't this happen when sachin was around too?

ad revenue is so high that brand image of an individual becomes larger than the game itself. any industry business model which over uses "too big to fail" tag for a prolonged period of time will crash.

and sharma married his marketing manager.

even if someone in BCCI/cricketing world intends to draw a line, these fellows have enough resources to run a smear campaign targeting those individuals. who in their right mind, will take such risks.

Yes it was but Sachin phenomenon was down to both India 'finding itself' after liberalising in 91 - for those into meta narratives - and the fact that he stood out so much compared to the rest of his peers until at least the early part of the 2000s so much so that people will switch off the tv if he got out. It's strange that the kind of criticism when he was a little out of form he got inspite of being treated like a deity these fake superstars with social media troll armies are not even allowed to get. We don't see effigies being burnt nowadays when it used to be common even for series losses in Sharjah.

But tbh this superstar culture began IMO only during Dhoni's time when a selector was removed due to him and Srini mama also held a lot of sway in both BCCI and then ICC meaning that the power centres were now the captain and superstar cliques in the team. He was well past it for both the 2015 and 2019 WCs and would have not retired from t20s too if not for covid because no one was going to drop him.
On a brighter note though I feel it might change because in both showbiz and cricket the era of superstars seems to have ended, though that maybe only my reading & others may disagree. There is no SRK or Sachin today in either of those fields and it's hard to see, say Gill or Pant reaching those heights or being treated like that.

Tendulkar had 2 bad years when he was touching 40.

Screenshot from 2024-12-09 13-28-20.webp

Virat has had 4 bad years out of last 5.

Virat averages less than 30 in 4 out of last 5 years.

Sachin averaged 34 in his last year for comparision.

SRT was too big in his time and BCCI could not muster courage to tell him to retire. But SRT did not play T20 at all and retired from ODIs 1.5 yr before Test. Also, SRT had his peak much later and performed really well after crossing 30.

At the same time, when Dhoni came to the scene. he literally forced the biggies other than SRT to retire one way or other. He did not give any of them a big rope and the moment one failed in a series, they were thrown out from next series.​

He prolonged his career for 18 months just so he could get the 100th 100, a decision that was probably not completely his own tbh. He was a better batsman even at that time compared to Kohli at any point since 2020. Yet commentators and pundits are afraid to call a spade a spade.

Agree on Dhoni which is why Yuvraj, Harbhajan, Gambhir, Sehwag all don't like him much. :bplease:

Yes, SRT waited too long for his 100th 100 but since he was out of both T20 and ODI, it did not pinch anyone that time.​

the quality of bowlers we have today , there will be no one in top 10 best of all time . even trent boult is on verge of retiring with only 611 wickets.

and looking at the list of most wicket takers almost all bowlers sachin faced throughout his career and even the top ones when he was a teenager. there is miles difference in between SRT and any batsmen of today. 🥶🥶
 
Basically this is an era of bowling.

Advent of scrambled seam makes batting very difficult. Just a fourth stump ball on traditional bowling with seam towards leg stump will have inswing or towards slip is an outswing.

Scramble seam have same impact but the seam presentation makes judgment difficult.

If not not pitched straightens up if pitched in seam jags back sharply.


Again batting have problem, ready to take harsh decisions? Drop Kohli/Rohit. Bring performing InD A players.

What is your analyst doing in Team, any team will decipher Head batting now with footages. Have sensible backups for key positions like seam bowling all rounders, we have HP in WC23 and that guy injured midway and we lost cup. We had him WCT20 and we won.

We need to have backup for that type of guy. We had shardul Thakur, NKP now. Thakur went out of scheme.

Who will you replace them with Ind A shit the bad even worse then our regular team.


Shardul idk wtf happened to the dude he gained weight and is bowling 120s now constantly in domestic and his batting is non existent the only change I would have loved this test was getting akashdeep in for harshit akashdeep hits the deck hard and seams it beautifully with a pink Ball he would have been so lethal and NKR is good needs to work on his bowling thou.
