That was not a mix up.

 

And kohli just cannot help himself with all the jumpiness. He goes for these ridiculous singles getting his batting partners dismissed in the process.

Mix up with Dhawan as he had no clue where the ball was and had to run...

 

Yeah he does that..Its great to run quick singles but he should also consider the other striker's batsman as well...

Test match loss was such an opportunity lost. 

 

Comepletely. This tour has been a failure and now it's only about salvaging whatever we can. Ravi Shastri's already f**king celebrating as if we won 3-0. We went there to end our 26 year drought. We're the #1 team, better have ambitions like one otherwise, there is no point playing this year. Enough of that "we lost but we fought hard" rhetoric, we were absolutely mauled in our 2 losses.

Super effort from u 19 boys.
No one even came close to beating us. Dominated everyone..

 

Test series, we had the team to beat. Few fk ups cost us the series, which could have been clearly avoided..

I can see, this  team winning in England n NZ. 

ODI series, we should definitely win.

Great to see, across formats and venues bowlers winning us matches consistently..
Even U19 the bowlers killed it.

 

Last 10 / 15 ODI's is mostly won by bowlers. Restricting the oppn to a below par score, or choking the runs and picking wickets at crucial points of the game.

First time in my life, i'm seeing a bowling attack which can perform consistently everywhere and is not dependent on 1 player.

How is it a failure, we did compete in the first match till the 5th over of 4th innings. econd match we made blunders in picking the right team, 3rd test match we dominated. 1st ODi we dominated. I still will go with lost after fighting hard, because this team has done better then a lot of previous teams, Hopefully we win the ODI series.

Remember what was being said when we lost the 2nd Test. Everyone was being (deservedly) slated. The team selections were poor, BCCI's scheduling was a farce. "We competed well and lost" is not enough and moreover we did not compete well either. In both Tests we gave away positions of advantage to lose and the margins were very big in both. This team has failed to build up on the previous tour's performances. We fought better back then and the loss was bearable sonsidering it was the first major overseas tour for most of them. Now we've gone one step ahead and 2 steps back. Returning home without winning the series. Now they're using consolation wins as an excuse to cover up. Shastri madarchod is acting as if we've won everything. Good on the ODI team for winning comfortably but it won't be enough to say that this tour wasn't a failure. This was our best chance of winning in South Africa. 4 years later, we don't know what the circumstances will be. People are being too forgiving. Our super stars get flattered far too easily.
