TAZ Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 I think this was Dhoni's last game, He will announce his retirement maybe today or in coming days.. I feel we Indians think we will win the WC easily forgetting that other teams are as good or bit better than us in some departments.. You can't win World Cup every time. Imagine SA-NZ-ENG never won a single WC in 11 World cups. We all are lucky to have witnessed 1 World Cup, 1 Time runner up & 2 times semi-finalist. Team played well maybe today they did take NZ lightly along with the rain helping the new ball swing. Anyways this was probably the best WC in past 2 decades losing only 1 game, Hopefully we will win it next time in 2023 when it will be hosted in INDIA.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 At least we made a game out of it. It looked so dead at the start. And yeah, rooting for NZ now. Anyone but Australia actually lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Ya we payed well, showed a lot of character to end where we eventually did. Proud of the team except a cpupl of individuals, but a good campaign, hopefully Aus loses tomorrow ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why it is hillarious to see comments like "We will chase this easily", "walk in the park for us" etc so many times. As if baaki team timepass karne aati hai, especially how average our batting actually is, apart from 2 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Hawk Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 My hopes were raised when Dhoni and Jadeja were playing. Like the optimistic fool I started shouting and jumping in my room when a boundary was hit. In the process I pulled a muscle in my lower back. Then India lost. So, in the end I'm left with a heavy heart and a nagging ache. Some Birthday I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing is if you go to any post related to our match before 2nd innings on social media everyone had commented those kind of over confident comments & Now they are facing the jokes from Pak/ban fans..

AtheK Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 In my opinion : India is still the best one day international team.It’s just that they’re not so good in two day internationals...[emoji1787][emoji1787]Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante77 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 I woulldn't call it a day off. They lost to England and almost lost to Afghan. They were very good throughout but they were certainly not that consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnackChap Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Our middle order has been sh*t for a while now, it's just that the top 3 were carrying it along. Here we just had Rohit and virat. Rahul is rahul, highly inconsistent and cant play the moving bowl, watch his dismissal in the under 19 world Cup final it's exactly similar to how he gets out even nowadays. Shows that he hasn't learned a thing in all these years. Discard dead weight like Kedar, Dk and dhoni will most likely retire soon. Get shubman gill, shreyas Iyer, mayank, vijay shankar etc and keep playing them consistently. Pant will anyways lose his place after a few innings when the apparent X factor turns out to be a dud factor. And finally pass on the odi captaincy to Rohit Sharma, if Dhoni is going to retire there would be no one to keep Kohli in check during Play. Rohit is a level headed guy unlike Kohli. Watching Kohli today in the dressing room was just embarassing. It was like he was shell-shocked, storming in and out of the balcony when he should have been the one telling the upcoming batters that we still can win it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtheK Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 So half the battle won by Aus, I hope eng can bounce back. Would love to see eng vs NZ final now, a new winner is good for game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STICK3Rboy Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Australia's loss to SA could very well turn out to be a blessing in disguise for them. Had they topped the table, I don't think they could've beaten NZ on that pitch and in those conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
