Nitish although got out for only 15, played 61 balls and showed lot of patience and composure. Top order should learn from these guys Everytime nitish starts his inning with a perfect shot, me in my mind thinking he will definitely score century this time.

Bauji Posted December 17, 2024 Report Share Posted December 17, 2024 18 hours ago, Felix the cat said: But Aussie dont deserve respect, bcs its them whose ego and arrogance is bigger than the mt everest. Itna ego kyu hai salo me, majority of australian dont even know their names. They have done lot of bad sh*t, monkey gate kand, calling out ganguly's affair, sand paper and what not. Mera to tab bhi mood kharab ho gya tha jab kohli ne smith ke support me audience se appeal ki thi. So you want our players to behave in the same way? Anyways lets just agree to disagree and stop here There is no right or wrong here just different perspectives and I doubt the conversation will go anywhere. 2 hours ago, silentassassin said: Top Order should have some shame and perform What happened to scoring zeroes in next 5 innings? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the harsh reality of Indian Cricket, People worship these players & If they retire the viewership declines hence the BCCI & Broadcasters want them to play little longer. PS: This is my point of view , Can be wrong too. Edited December 18, 2024 by TAZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix the cat Posted December 18, 2024 Report Share Posted December 18, 2024 I remember when India needs 2 in 1 ball and Ashwin smartly left the ball and it was wide, against pakistan in that high voltage t20 world cup match. People talk about Dhoni's composure in such situations but hes also at that level. Hes sharp, Hes smart and he's the most clever player ever played in team IND.

But something about this sudden retirement feels like another BCCI/team level screw up than him doing it. Knowing the way he speaks about the game and his own way to approach the game, he would have been very clear when he wanted to retire! He would have made the decision by end of NZ series if he had decided. The fact that he is flying back tomorrow also seems fishy, I hope I am wrong and he made this decision all by himself. He truly deserved a send off and guard of honour from both India and opposition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next series we have is against England in England, its very clear that team prefers jaddu / washinton for overseas tests for their batting. Guess that forced his decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I agree with as a one of the reason for his retirement however what is surprising is to do it in the middle of ongoing series. 41 minutes ago, silentassassin said: The next series we have is against England in England, its very clear that team prefers jaddu / washinton for overseas tests for their batting.

TBH really doesn't matter even if there's any sort of rift. I'm fairly convinced this is Rohit's last series as well. Might be Virat's as well if he doesn't perform and we lose. Team is getting new leadership and old guard is being phased out, rightly so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anytime there is a transition in our cricket someone will always end up as the villain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
