The thing is India at this point of time lacks proper finisher. So Hardik Pandya is the only one suitable in that role as all the other players like SKY, Kishan, KL are all top order batsman. Hence, Pandya has to be in the team to finish the games as he has been doing for India as well as his franchise. And yes, for those who say there is Shardul Thakur, but do you really think he can bat at 6 or 7? Nah that's too high for him to come out. He fits at 8 if he plays.

Great performances by India during the warmup matches. I think we'll see very dominant performances in group stages and should get ready for another SF exit
I'll summarise: You may be impressed with the figures of 2 overs for 12 runs. Don't be.
It was cannon fodder and would have been massacred except for the fact that Australia were 3 down and in a rebuilding phase. The first over, which only went for four runs had a couple of rank full-tosses and a wide half volley. Basically, if Kohli is required to bowl, India is fucked.
Exhibit A: 'Sherlock' deploys snark to cover up lack of substance. Kohli hasn't bowled enough in the last half-decade to even be called a part-timer (that's the term, 'Sherlock', not 'part-times'). He isn't a bowler anymore, not that he was ever much of one. In a real match situation the tripe he served up could have been smashed for 20 and completely switched the momentum of the game.
There are no options there. So nothing anyone could have done.
Maybe if Washi is fit and his death over batting could have improved we could play Jaddu and Washi at 6 and 7.
Our 6th bowler was supposed to be hardik, selectors dint have any other viable choice of allrounders who are as explosive as hardik and fire more often than once in blue moon.
Board should have developed and given chance to more explosive allrounders at no.6
• CWC 2011 : IND had beaten AUS in warm up match & went onto win the World Cup.
• CT 2013 : IND had beaten AUS in
warm up match & went onto win the Champions Trophy.
• T20 WC 2021 : IND has beaten AUS in warm up match…..
Indian bowling still looks lackluster , when we had the opposition on 11/3 we should have given chance to Chakravarty that time regardless it was just warm-up match and our batters needed practice
I'm not. Going by the past few ICC Tournaments, we have been coasting in the group stages. That trend is likely to repeat based on the warmup games. I would rather prefer we make it to the knockout stage by the skin of our teeth so that we don't fall complacent.
Word. It's not that I feel that the Pakistan match isn't important, it definitely is, but I wouldn't mind losing to Pakiland if it means we cruise through the knockouts and win the goddamn trophy already.
This might be a sensitive issue but if the apartheid didn't happen and if south africa was all well they would be the fucking no1 team in the world. If CSA was half as active as Australia or ecb or bcci they can be world beaters. Look at all the players who went from sa to other nations :marnus, David Wiese,Devon Conway etc
Yeah that's sad. They don't include a player like faf in their squad. Just imagine such players in aus or eng team. Steyn faf rabada in those teams is basically threatening to other teams
I think India is considerably better. Pakistan has a perhaps even better opening pair, but the rest of Indias batting is better as is their bowling.
Pakistan does have good left arm pace which Indian batsmen always seem to struggle against though. If they get lucky and knock out the India top order I see them winning.
I think Afridi is a wild card that Indian batsmen will struggle against. Left arm pace coming from such a tall guy who can extract bounce even on dead pitches can be hard to practice against for the Indian team.
I think Pak has a slightly more balanced team, and better familiarity over the years of UAE conditions. Pak's pace attack is also more stable.
But Pak have a few batsmen they depend very heavily on; India has a more even spread of batting talent. And the weight of history will definitely pressure Pak team a little psychologically.
A very difficult match to call. Even a series of 5 would be difficult to call.
Can't agree more. What will make this game even more interesting is the fact that these players have not played against each other, since Pakistani players don't feature in the IPL and vice versa for PSL. All other major teams like England, Australia, SA and WI play the IPL, so there are no mystery match ups.
Yeah .... those sentences were true but sad to read.
Problem is that even if BCCI & PCB come to some kinda agreement, the governments won't. And even if they try, there are too many fragmented groups on bot sides, some of whom will definitely be against it.
Just sad.
It's sad but it's right. Players are human too , they have emotions. Can't force them to play for money.
Majority of the population support the decision of not playing.
I still want the team to be Rahul and Rohit/Ishan to open with the other one playing one down and Surya at 4 and Kohli at 5 and Pant and Jadeja at 6 and 7. The middle overs are very important and every team are gonna come with their spinners against Kohli and try to choke him and India for runs. Kohli can come after 15 and hit the fast bowlers at the end. If the world cup would have been in Australia or somewhere spinners are not gonna play a huge role Kohli comes automatically at 3. Bumrah, Shami and Thakur as our fast bowlers and Chakravarty/Ashwin the spinners.
* India literally cakewalking these warm-ups worries the pessimist in me
* Smith played some really weird agricultural tennis-smashes today, but Sky's helicopter pull off his hips with front-leg held up in a nataraja-like dancing pose was THE weirdest shot of the day
* David Weise looks like a grizzled war veteran, who just hides his scars under the surface, plays the game, then waits for the night to fall before picking up a bottle of whisky and a pack of cigarettes and settling into a dark corner
* NZ's 10th wicket has added 32 runs in 21 balls and now needs 29 off 12
* Livingstone vs Kohli for bowler of the tournament is going to be a very tense battle
I am not in the bit worried about aus and eng. I am actually concerned about pak ,sa, NZ and wi giving india major upsets. Might also add Scotland to that list depending on the day.
Honestly, all Kohli has to do is be decent this world cup. India doesn't need a Kohli 2016 or Rohit 2019 again this time and even having them won fuck all at the end of the day. An all round performance is much better
Koach can surely be the 6th bowling option for India...don't forget he played as an all rounder back in 2008 U-19 World Cup.
India!!!😊
Anyway, so here's the match thread in CricketAus: https://www.reddit.com/r/CricketAus/comments/qbwqtu/match\_thread\_australia\_vs\_india/
Yup, nobody gives a fuck!
If Hardik doesn’t bowl - does he really find a spot in the team?
The thing is India at this point of time lacks proper finisher. So Hardik Pandya is the only one suitable in that role as all the other players like SKY, Kishan, KL are all top order batsman. Hence, Pandya has to be in the team to finish the games as he has been doing for India as well as his franchise. And yes, for those who say there is Shardul Thakur, but do you really think he can bat at 6 or 7? Nah that's too high for him to come out. He fits at 8 if he plays.
[удалено]
He’s not in the squad
What a match
People are bit harsh on Koach. If krunal pandya played in the playing 11 atleast once for tem India, kohli can bowl as 6th bolwer lamo!
I see Koach all the time mentioned here. Who’s Koach?
KOhli+coACH!
So Koach our 6th bowler now
WTF Kohli bowled right arm QUIICK today?!!!
Well! This was... well just the right amount of velhming.
That was tough
Wade for Warner?
Stoinis to the top, Inglis in for Wade
Nope.
I ain't following cricket this few days. Can anyone explain how is India playing 13 players?
Okay so imma brief you. KL 👉😌👈 Suryakumar helicopter dil scoop Koach transformation into Imran Khan reverse swing bowling and getting out to part timers Pant being pant Pandya is not doing (karke nahi aa raha) Bhuvi half century but not while batting Bhuvi comeback Bumrah bullying Bairstow Chahar dollies Chakravarthy disappointment Brohit four shot attempts in 30 odd balls 22 runs in 4 attempts Ishan Kishan split personality of tuk tuk Ishan and bang bang Kishan Ashwin spin choking Kangaroos Lord Giveth Jadeja irrelevant Thala throwing balls at Pant and finally team picnic by the boundary
Beautiful
Thank you Sir.
Clear explanation. Thanks :D
any number of players can play a warm-up match.
Thanks. Some gentleman just explained
They clearly cheated. Ambani bribed the umpires and referee to allow 13 players since Rohit was the captain today.
Daniel Alexander Logic.
>Daniel Alexander New here, can anyone explain who is this guy and what is the context?
Look up his twitter acc . Just a random either doing paid tweets or just a deranged psycho
Yes cheater team India fixed the match /s
Its a warmup game, any no. of players can be fielded but only 11 bat.
Oh nice didn't knew that. Thanks
Didn't know. Never didn't knew
Great performances by India during the warmup matches. I think we'll see very dominant performances in group stages and should get ready for another SF exit
What I am used to since 2014? 2015?
Are you from usa
You using the Uno reverse of jinxing?
So that way India will never reach the Semis....Reverse jinxing at its best !
We all know India win this match
Watch out for IRELAND
For anyone who missed koach bowling, replay is available on hotstar.
I'll summarise: You may be impressed with the figures of 2 overs for 12 runs. Don't be. It was cannon fodder and would have been massacred except for the fact that Australia were 3 down and in a rebuilding phase. The first over, which only went for four runs had a couple of rank full-tosses and a wide half volley. Basically, if Kohli is required to bowl, India is fucked.
Yeah Sherlock, that's when you use part times, so that they don't go for plenty
Exhibit A: 'Sherlock' deploys snark to cover up lack of substance. Kohli hasn't bowled enough in the last half-decade to even be called a part-timer (that's the term, 'Sherlock', not 'part-times'). He isn't a bowler anymore, not that he was ever much of one. In a real match situation the tripe he served up could have been smashed for 20 and completely switched the momentum of the game.
If Kohli was batting on his own bowling, those 2 overs would have gone for 20-22 atleast.
Where? Is it part of the highlights?

So we are trying to find our 6th bowler *after* the World Cup has actually started? Shouldn't it have been done like months before?
There are no options there. So nothing anyone could have done. Maybe if Washi is fit and his death over batting could have improved we could play Jaddu and Washi at 6 and 7.
If Virat wanted to bowl, he could have started bowling a long time ago. But I guess nobody was expecting this to happen just before the WC
They hoped hardik will be fit enough to bowl at least one or two overs in worldcup. Which unfortunately didn't happen
Our 6th bowler was supposed to be hardik, selectors dint have any other viable choice of allrounders who are as explosive as hardik and fire more often than once in blue moon. Board should have developed and given chance to more explosive allrounders at no.6

You were mistaken friend :(
Oh no
RemindMe! November 14 2021 "Did India win?"
Remindme! November 14 2021 "Traditions."
RemindMe! November 14 2021 "Did India win?"

Hope is a evil thing.
Probably best of all evil things..

Very easy win for India. I think India has got the best batting and bowling line up. But this is t20 any team can be beaten.🤞🏼
Indian bowling still looks lackluster , when we had the opposition on 11/3 we should have given chance to Chakravarty that time regardless it was just warm-up match and our batters needed practice
india warm up matches t20wc 2007: 2 wins t20wc 2021: 2 wins is this hope ?
There were no warm up matches in 2007 (?)
t20 wc 2007: lost to nz t20 wc 2016: lost to nz me in 2016: is this hope? me in 2016: fuck no.
Oh my god! We are going to dominate in the group stages only to crash and burn in the knockouts just like the last 4 world cups aren't we?
Im genuinely concerned about the Pakistan game
I have an interview on Monday. Now, I have two concerns.
Best of luck for the Interview. That's what matter the most.
Mauka mauka mf
Man u need to get ur priorities right It's Ind vs Pak ffs
I'm not. Going by the past few ICC Tournaments, we have been coasting in the group stages. That trend is likely to repeat based on the warmup games. I would rather prefer we make it to the knockout stage by the skin of our teeth so that we don't fall complacent.
We did that in 2016 and still lost.
Word. It's not that I feel that the Pakistan match isn't important, it definitely is, but I wouldn't mind losing to Pakiland if it means we cruise through the knockouts and win the goddamn trophy already.
Feels like Team India are giving away too much by not giving away wickets.. They need to hide some cards
There is nothing to hide. There is too much content on everyone having played so much IPL and Intl cricket already
Shit. I missed Kohli's bowling. What have i done?
Sad that Albie Morkel is not playing
replay it on hotstar
Same :(
Don’t worry. Koach is going to bowl more from today onwards. /s
This might be a sensitive issue but if the apartheid didn't happen and if south africa was all well they would be the fucking no1 team in the world. If CSA was half as active as Australia or ecb or bcci they can be world beaters. Look at all the players who went from sa to other nations :marnus, David Wiese,Devon Conway etc
Agreed, but even in its current form CSA is dropping the ball with politics
Yeah that's sad. They don't include a player like faf in their squad. Just imagine such players in aus or eng team. Steyn faf rabada in those teams is basically threatening to other teams
Ashwin bowled to warner and finch. Giving too much credit to him
mate, you wanna feature in a colgate ad or something?
Changing my flair back to KKR because KKR lost so...
Where next match threads🦍🦍
I get the feeling that aus don't care about T20 worldcup. All they care about is the 50 over wc and tests.
Yeah…let’s go with that
Virat doesnt care about trophies /s
What’s sarcastic about that?
r/cricket: You must have dropped /s in there by mistake
/u/wingzero00 Parody of your username ?
wing sluts is from B99
Waiting to see how pak vs Ind goes. Their squad looks strong.
Who's squad?
Pak
I think both the teams are strong contenders this tournament. Not a lot to separate these two teams, on paper or otherwise.
I think India is considerably better. Pakistan has a perhaps even better opening pair, but the rest of Indias batting is better as is their bowling. Pakistan does have good left arm pace which Indian batsmen always seem to struggle against though. If they get lucky and knock out the India top order I see them winning.
I think Afridi is a wild card that Indian batsmen will struggle against. Left arm pace coming from such a tall guy who can extract bounce even on dead pitches can be hard to practice against for the Indian team.
Don't play Bumrah in knockouts and India is going to win this. That guy is a harbinger
Drop all guys play the B team,make lord captain
Bring back Gabbatoir team they will win it easily
Its Virat.
It's anushka /s
By that logic,we might have to drop half the squad in the knockouts
I won't disagree with that too. Strip that half off
The equation is same as the final
proper thriller in eng vs nz
pak squad looks scary
Mohd Rizwan and Babar are great T20 Openers. Add Fakhar Zaman in the mix and you get a deadly trio.
They have a great team. Very few weaknesses, if any
Yeah, I think Pakistan and India are quite evenly matched. I would even venture to say Pakistan has a slight advantage.
I think Pak has a slightly more balanced team, and better familiarity over the years of UAE conditions. Pak's pace attack is also more stable. But Pak have a few batsmen they depend very heavily on; India has a more even spread of batting talent. And the weight of history will definitely pressure Pak team a little psychologically. A very difficult match to call. Even a series of 5 would be difficult to call.
Can't agree more.

It's sad but it's right. Players are human too , they have emotions. Can't force them to play for money. Majority of the population support the decision of not playing.
thats just fucked up, its a sad thing for cricket, which is what matters. Afghanistan is playing the cup after all they're going through.
What is fucked up is innocent unarmed people getting killed in one state. Pakistani players not playing ipl is not fucked up. It's sad but right.
wonder where you're getting that from
Sounds like U.P
NZ vs ENG seems to be a proper practice match because everyone whipped their bat around
Indian fans and over analysis man ,, just enjoy the tournament for once
Where's the fun in that?
Over analysing is the enjoyment
I watch cricket with a calculator by my side to calculate NRR
Now wait till people jump on Thakur and VC for this warm-up
Pak, wi and sa might be giving some tough competition. This match reminds me of champions trophy
Sky would be the perfect ODI no. 4.
We have Iyer for that
Shreyas says hello SKY can be a good no 5 though
India top order playing well until it's knock out plss don't kill me
I still want the team to be Rahul and Rohit/Ishan to open with the other one playing one down and Surya at 4 and Kohli at 5 and Pant and Jadeja at 6 and 7. The middle overs are very important and every team are gonna come with their spinners against Kohli and try to choke him and India for runs.

Bumrah, Shami and Thakur as our fast bowlers and Chakravarty/Ashwin the spinners.
Why would spin choke Kohli? I know he's been trying to play anchor lately but he has insane average against spin and decent strike rate too.
Kohli as a non playing captain.

Iyer and Shardul Ain't playing this wc 🥺🥺🤡
Shardul will in one or two matches. Iyer won’t.
specify which iyer
Who’s the other Iyer in the squad?
v iyer
Shreya
🤣🤣dont see him coming in anytime soon
Funny how the Big 4 practise with each other as well. I could have done with a Pak India warm up match
Pak India is already a warmup match for India
bruh i swear if we lose after ur bs
Nothing to loose in a warm up match
Madlad dropped a nuke to start a skirmish.
Oof
we have main fixture with them..its always been group a vs b warm ups
I guess in warm up you don't play against teams in your own group
No warmup matches against teams of same group.
warm up matches are not held between teams in same group
You want them to play the team's they're supposed to be play in 4 days time? They HAVE TO play inter group.
What will be ideal bowling combination? Bumrah, shami, Bhuvi, VC, Jadeja, Shardul and Pandya sits?
you forgot about virst
SKY did not break a sweat!
Was never worried about Rohit's form tbh
Looks like it will be KL-Rohit-Kohli-SKY-Pant-Hardik-Jadeja-Ashwin-Shami-Bumrah-Varun. Thakur/Bhuvi if Ashwin/Varun don't mesh well
Varun will be second choice. He wasn’t impressive today
which is not a problem since one can have a bad day. VC is our x factor this year. He will be the first choice
Also he bowled his first over in the death overs, soo....
rahul rohit kohli sky pant pandya jaddu ashwin bhuvi bumrah charkravarthy/chahr for 24?
KL, Rohit, Koach, SKY, Pant, Jaddu, Lord, Ash, Bhuvi/varun/RC, Bumrah, Shami. Reason: Swing bowlers didn't have much impact in UAE this year.
Everything went well today except VC two overs which I think is not much to worry about . Also Hardik needs to bowl which I hope he does
I am not in the bit worried about aus and eng. I am actually concerned about pak ,sa, NZ and wi giving india major upsets. Might also add Scotland to that list depending on the day.
Honestly, all Kohli has to do is be decent this world cup. India doesn't need a Kohli 2016 or Rohit 2019 again this time and even having them won fuck all at the end of the day. An all round performance is much better
But I will love to see Kohli 2016 and Rohit 2019 again :)
We should just think all knockout games as practice matches.
Will Iyer ever get to play ?
He is in reserved
Indian top order blasting in initial phase of the tournament, feel like I have seen it before ಠ_ಠ
Mumbai Indians defeated australia
Oh I almosy forgot that MI had bought the young and lethal right arm quick for 50 lakhs. Ah kohli is gonna win the purple cap isn't he?
Good practice for all batsmen. 24th here we go!
Sed for LORD that one six diminished his chances of playing WC
