[QF] Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan (IND) /N. Sriram Balaji (IND) l. (WC) Thiego Syboth Wild (BRA) / Matias Soto (CHI) 63 16 4-10 This is not fair. Syboth demanded a wild card because his name was Wild. And he was granted the Wild Card. Okay, that is fair. But, then the deal therein is that he should have b...

They can't even play the England model in T20Is except for SkAY.

It should be official now, this team can't play left arm pacers when there is a bit of help around, they are just getting LBW's & bowled for fun. This is least expected when a class like Dravid is sitting there as Coach It is official. But, they can't play right arm pacers either when there is a bi...

Gill has been phenomenal on flat-wickets and easy opponents. Which are the matches where Gill performed a boy on the burning deck role? That is, the % of runs scored by Gill is the maximum wrt the team's when at least 7 wickets have fallen (i.e., not a total flat batting track) in LOIs. No such qual...

ICC will not create such wickets/conditions. They want flat pitches. Nevertheless, ideally we need both, average and SR. Five batsmen who average 40 with a SR of 90+. Rahul, Rohit, Kohli, Iyer, Gill, and Kishan are what we have along with Samson. We need to play the first five with IK the backup. IK...

Good to see the good team winning.

Precisely.

Shows once again the fallacy of selecting in one format on the basis of another.

Our batters by average are: Gill, Kohli, Rohit, Rahul, Kishan.

Sorry, my bad. No the other blue one. But, maybe I have a recency bias.

Gopi is still the national coach. That is just an administrative position?

Niki won or lost? It shows green but shows "l". Can't find the results on the ITF website yet.

I like the 2019 WC one the best.

Shalini Thakur (who never played outside India, and reached a career high of 811 in singles) is the captain?! AITA plumbing new depths! I thought Rohit Rajpal as captain was bad enough, but now this!! The captain's slot is being totally wasted. It is far from ornamental, as the captain has a key ro...

The Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is finally showing the world, especially America, what they are made of. The President of the Glorious Nation makes a joke about women every year, I think on International Women's Day. Methinks those jokes have spurred these hordes of Khazakhi women/gir...

:Offtopic: The day we realize it’s a team game whose fortunes shouldn’t mirror performance of a single person, we will do better. Like SKY for T20 right now. We are far too reliant on single performer (or two). It will never yield the right results. In T20Is, we have arguably the best batter and the...
