How much of this is on Dravid? Too many changes, suddenly dropping DK for Pant just because of Jadeja got injured so we needed a leftie? Wtf is this overthinking? Dropping Bishnoi for Ashwin because SL have lefties? Whatever happened to form and consistency? No way it's only done by captain. Dravid needs to go if we flop in world cup. I don't think he is cut out for senior team role, just like Kumble.

 

Kumble just lost 1 tournament, that too in finals. We literally won everything under him. He was just thrown out because Virat dint like him. 

 

I think most decisions are Dravid's. For most of the time, Rohit was not in the team at all.
Also not sure how much coach and captain is involved in squad selection. Going in with just 3 seamers was actually stupid.

Bishnoi was our best player in the last match, Let him rest for the next important match.  

Hooda is selected as an all rounder, so let's decide to not let him bowl and play with 5 bowlers.

Who is DK ?

 

India relies too much on SKY and Pandya to fire.
People like Sarfaraz Khan are waiting to be selected but India can't move on from Kohli and Rohit.

Rohit is captain because he scored 219, 264 when dinosaurs existed.

Indian team needs a complete overhaul and make some harsh changes. Indian team did that in 2007 and that resulted us in winning T20 2007 WC, No. 1 test team in 2008 and 2011 World Cup.

So after hitting 50 and losing to Pak, Virat goes to Press and says this. He doesn't get it that noone gives a fk if you are not scoring runs, if you are not winning matches. Ganguly was dropped after hitting painstaking 100 against Zimbabwe. He took it on his chin and moved on, despite being the best captain for India 

 

"IND vs PAK: Only MS Dhoni Messaged Me When I Stepped Down As Test Captain: Virat Kohli"

Have you read the whole interview? 

He was specifically asked about it so he mentioned only MSD messaged him after he left the test captaincy. And Ganguly was sacked and VK gave it up himself. And VK is the best test Captain for India till he resigned. And Ganguly didn't just move on he made a big issue of it and blamed Chappell for everything. He is still sour about it whenever in any interview it's mentioned. 

 

VK also mentioned he is extremely happy with the way Coach, Captain and others have been treating him in current team.

What will Captain do when Batsman won't make runs, bowlers won't take wickets, fielders won't catch and Coach will select Hooda as a finisher and bench DK ?

Grow a pair of balls and tell coach to f**k off, in case it is indeed coach making the decision and not the potato himself.

Stop talking about workload, no more experiments: Sunil Gavaskar’s message to India after Asia Cup flop show

 

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar said India were not able to get into a rhythm with their first-choice playing XI at the Asia Cup as they hadn’t played together as often as one would have expected them to in the lead-up to the continental tournament.

 

Sunil Gavaskar said "India need to stop their experiments and end the discussion about ‘workload management’ in the lead-up to the T20 World Cup."

 

“It has not come about (sync) because you haven’t had the same team playing. You get into a sync when the whole team is playing. You try to experiment, there is nothing wrong with that. There are always 3 or 4 places up for grabs in a team and in the process of trying to identify those players, you try to go in with different teams. What that did was obviously, you know, when other players come back into the team, the sync will take a longer time,” Gavaskar said.

 

“I would have thought that prior to the Asia Cup, the tour of Zimbabwe was the one where the majority of the players who were going to play the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup should have been selected. Now, suddenly, you have got 4-5 guys coming in, guys who had done well in Zimbabwe are not in the XI, not even in the squad. So the sync will take time to come,” Gavaskar added.

 

“Yes, there is a touch of worry. I am not overly worried, because we have got a few matches coming up at home before the T20 World Cup. There, I hope, no experiments will take place.

 

“You’ll pick the squad that is going to go to Australia and play. Stop talking about workload and all that, when you are playing for India, there’s no workload. You just got to get your best team out in the park for the coming matches in India.

 

“Now with the exit from the Asia Cup, you have got 2-3 days of extra rest. You take that rest and start getting together in Mohali for the Australia series.

The same team plus one or two standbys for the series against South Africa and Australia. That will then give them a lot more time out in the middle. We always keep talking about time in the middle, we talk about overs under the belt, we haven’t had that,” he added.

Great match.
Should have just bowled wicket to wicket and short of length in last over.
Missed yorker twice and gave easy full tosses.

Afghanistan is improving their game in all departments. Pacers and batsmen also getting better. 

See them beat potato’s team tomorrow.
