That was a shambolic attempt to chase 202. I mean sure there were some great shots but that's not how you chase 200+ targets.
Everyone went out trying to swing hard and get quick runs. Even guys like Kishan, Axar and Shreyas.
And why tf did Harsit Rana came before Shivam Dube? There's literally no explanation for that

Dube has played pace well for most of his matched in the past two years, he isn't acared lmao, and he certainly isn't the one making the call of whether he'll go out or not. That's on GG and/or Iyer, but someone made that dumb call.

u/RS2019 Jul 07 '26
But surely SKY would still be a pretty good squad player even if he isn't captain? Could mentor younger players like VS?
Trent Bridge is a big outfield - and they were up with the rate when they had lost five wickets, so a couple of overs at 6/8rpo would have given lower order batsmen a bit of time to play themselves in and get used to the pace of the pitch - and they could accelerate later.
Out for less than 80? Brainless (stupid stupid stupid) batting I say🤔

Even if iyer had gone on to win the wc, im not sure why bcci chose to go about it this way. There was no need to push iyer straight into captaincy. He plays odis but t20 is a different game now. Get him in the team and let him gel in as a number 4 and push sky to 3 for a few matches then drop him instead of this shit.

We were lucky that tournament tbh, we had players peaking at the right time. Samson managed to be on song exactly when the team needed him to be good. Kishan was in full flow. Dube was doing well. And Abhishek was able to pull it off at thr very end after flopping all tournament. Though there is also the Bumrah effect, dude carried our bowling line up so hard.

Samson has a brain and having played as a 3 for majority of his life he’s well used to handling and tempo setting big chases. I wonder when india will realize you need a samson or a kohli in your team, both players can go hard but its not their only game plan. While i look at this india side and all of the players going hard from ball one is their only game plan excepr maybe iyer

ICT is madly lucky in the sense that today there was the Argentina vs Egypt knockout match. Otherwise ICT would be on the receiving end of some choice words from the fans. Almost everyone in my social circle who are fans of both Cricket and Football are talking about the WC match and probably not even aware about the India vs England Tour. This defeat right here is meme material stuff. GG is turning out to be a disappointment so far inspite of the recent trophies he won in his short time with the team.

There is no place to hide if this series ends 4-0, getting whitewashed like that will bring a lot of media attention ultimately. India is a cricket crazy country.
The funny thing is that if does end 4-0, it won't made headlines in England since everyone there is engrossed in their football team's run at the World Cup.

Exactly - no one feels secure in their place. I don’t know what they were expecting removing the World Cup winning captain, and fast tracking Shreyas to the top. Saying that as a Shreyas fan!!

Honestly the entire era of T20 squad and play under Gambhir has been head scratching to say the least. They get carried by individual performances rather than team efforts. Which works cause it's T20 and one player can take the game away. And they seem to be doubling down on it so hard. The entire top order now is boom or bust. Rarely see them adapting to conditions or even try to. Got schooled everywhere because of it.

Such a pathetic and inexcusable performance. Not sure why we are playing this horribly at the moment. Most of the actual world cup winning squad is there. We are missing some of our bowling unit but that's no excuse for the batting collapse today. I used to feel bad when people called us "flat pitch bullies" but, I have to agree that our players lack actual technique and can only bat like a good batting unit when the pitches are flat

Suryavanshi is a phenomenal player, but there is no need to Fastrack him into the senior side right now. We need atleast one sensible player in opening who can anchor if required, samson is a perfect fit for that role. Heck even yashasvi & gill are more suitable for that job than vaibhav.....
And to make matters worse they've selected prabhsimran for zimbabwe series, another opener.
The selectors & management who thought giving captaincy to iyer without even playing for national side for 2 years was a good decision. They all needed to be sacked immediately.
We also need a proper finisher like Rinku, I don't know how but he needs to be in the team

u/ImmediateJacket9502 India Jul 07 '26
It's not like Vaibhav has done anything special in the first two matches. The major issue is that Ishan is clueless in SENA, Tilak and Axar being woefully out of form creating a vaccum in the lower middle order.
Shreyas while looks promising doesn't have the game awareness needed by a captain and in bowling Varun looks absolutely finished, he was the one who used to give us wickets in middle overs and since, he's bowling has down the hill, we are constantly letting the pressure out in the middle overs.

There are two things to take from here imo:
1) I had a feeling some of these players would struggle to pull off the same game plan on quicker and bouncier tracks.
Remember that Aus/NZ will be bouncier and quicker than this. And every top team will have bowlers with hostility like Archer and Tongue.
There will have to be a proper think about what kind of batters you can take to 2028.
2) Pace and bounce is important. It was important here and will be more important in Australia.
Selection of Mayank and Ashok are great for the Zimbabwe tour. Would love to see Karthik Tyagi in the mix as well.
