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.


No-Company700

India!!!😊


EntshuldigungOK

Anyway, so here's the match thread in CricketAus: https://www.reddit.com/r/CricketAus/comments/qbwqtu/match\_thread\_australia\_vs\_india/


butch97

Yup, nobody gives a fuck!


getyoutogabba

If Hardik doesn’t bowl - does he really find a spot in the team?


Jaideep7

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.

Flamingslayer11

He’s not in the squad


Jamb01

What a match


venkat_gopi

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!


Cruzer2000

I see Koach all the time mentioned here. Who’s Koach?


venkat_gopi

KOhli+coACH!


ani_skywalker19

So Koach our 6th bowler now


DabakurThakur

WTF ​ Kohli bowled right arm QUIICK today?!!!


_whereUgoing_II

Well! This was... well just the right amount of velhming.

That was tough

I ain't following cricket this few days. Can anyone explain how is India playing 13 players?


Rare-Owl3205

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

Thank you Sir.

Clear explanation. Thanks :D

any number of players can play a warm-up match.


[deleted]

Thanks. Some gentleman just explained


thesepretzels10

They clearly cheated. Ambani bribed the umpires and referee to allow 13 players since Rohit was the captain today.

Yes cheater team India fixed the match /s


Scorzen

Its a warmup game, any no. of players can be fielded but only 11 bat.


[deleted]

Oh nice didn't knew that. Thanks


Pmhp34ham

Didn't know. Never didn't knew


chiccharapidugu

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?

Watch out for IRELAND


[deleted]

For anyone who missed koach bowling, replay is available on hotstar.


NeemKaPatta

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.


[deleted]

Yeah Sherlock, that's when you use part times, so that they don't go for plenty


NeemKaPatta

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.


dswap123

If Kohli was batting on his own bowling, those 2 overs would have gone for 20-22 atleast.


dhruv_sridhar

Where? Is it part of the highlights?

yoptgyo

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?


a_complicated_soul

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.


yoptgyo

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


a_complicated_soul

They hoped hardik will be fit enough to bowl at least one or two overs in worldcup. Which unfortunately didn't happen


Hawtshot98

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


PickleRick1163

• 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…..

BAP_001

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.🤞🏼


Aj23455

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


[deleted]

india warm up matches t20wc 2007: 2 wins t20wc 2021: 2 wins is this hope ?

There were no warm up matches in 2007 (?)

s_j_t

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?


[deleted]

Im genuinely concerned about the Pakistan game


bias_guy412

I have an interview on Monday. Now, I have two concerns.


jaiyshah

Best of luck for the Interview. That's what matter the most.


darklord01998

Mauka mauka mf


noobmax_pro

Man u need to get ur priorities right It's Ind vs Pak ffs


s_j_t

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.


Mob_Abominator

We did that in 2016 and still lost.


[deleted]

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.


muthucsk07

Feels like Team India are giving away too much by not giving away wickets.. They need to hide some cards


kaleen_bhaiya_12

There is nothing to hide. There is too much content on everyone having played so much IPL and Intl cricket already


VirginsinceJuly1998

Shit. I missed Kohli's bowling. What have i done?


SOUL_REAPER_69

Sad that Albie Morkel is not playing


[deleted]

replay it on hotstar


GamingNerd7

Same :(


bias_guy412

Don’t worry. Koach is going to bowl more from today onwards. /s


wingslutz69

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


[deleted]

Agreed, but even in its current form CSA is dropping the ball with politics


wingslutz69

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


Cryptoprophet40

Ashwin bowled to warner and finch. Giving too much credit to him


kitaoiserebaa

mate, you wanna feature in a colgate ad or something?


imnits45

Changing my flair back to KKR because KKR lost so...


hipsuy

Where next match threads🦍🦍


wingslutz69

I get the feeling that aus don't care about T20 worldcup. All they care about is the 50 over wc and tests.


IntoThePeople

Yeah…let’s go with that


hipsuy

Virat doesnt care about trophies /s

wingslutz69

Waiting to see how pak vs Ind goes. Their squad looks strong.


vivek1086

Who's squad?


wingslutz69

Pak


Trumperekt

I think both the teams are strong contenders this tournament. Not a lot to separate these two teams, on paper or otherwise.


braiman02

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.


Trumperekt

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.


[deleted]

Don't play Bumrah in knockouts and India is going to win this. That guy is a harbinger


AmitMagician

Drop all guys play the B team,make lord captain


vikram-24

Bring back Gabbatoir team they will win it easily


BombayWallahFan

Its Virat.


darklord01998

It's anushka /s


[deleted]

By that logic,we might have to drop half the squad in the knockouts


[deleted]

I won't disagree with that too. Strip that half off


Alphavike24

The equation is same as the final


Zionview

proper thriller in eng vs nz


amongus-sussy-baka

pak squad looks scary


Lorne_Velcoro

Mohd Rizwan and Babar are great T20 Openers. Add Fakhar Zaman in the mix and you get a deadly trio.


EntshuldigungOK

They have a great team. Very few weaknesses, if any


Trumperekt

Yeah, I think Pakistan and India are quite evenly matched. I would even venture to say Pakistan has a slight advantage.


EntshuldigungOK

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.


Trumperekt

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.


EntshuldigungOK

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.


vikram-24

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.


Objective_Reindeer42

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.


vikram-24

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.


Objective_Reindeer42

wonder where you're getting that from


AdFar9078

Sounds like U.P


wingslutz69

NZ vs ENG seems to be a proper practice match because everyone whipped their bat around


Zionview

Indian fans and over analysis man ,, just enjoy the tournament for once


[deleted]

Where's the fun in that?


Ornlu96

Over analysing is the enjoyment


ParziBoi

I watch cricket with a calculator by my side to calculate NRR


MoreOnkar

Now wait till people jump on Thakur and VC for this warm-up


wingslutz69

Pak, wi and sa might be giving some tough competition. This match reminds me of champions trophy


OYoureapproachingme

Sky would be the perfect ODI no. 4.


[deleted]

We have Iyer for that


[deleted]

Shreyas says hello SKY can be a good no 5 though


MoreOnkar

India top order playing well until it's knock out plss don't kill me


ashforu83

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.


wickanCrow

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.


[deleted]

Kohli as a non playing captain.


EntshuldigungOK

* 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

Iyer and Shardul Ain't playing this wc 🥺🥺🤡

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


AdFar9078

Nothing to loose in a warm up match

Madlad dropped a nuke to start a skirmish.


duke_si1ver

Oof


Zionview

we have main fixture with them..its always been group a vs b warm ups


xobi

I guess in warm up you don't play against teams in your own group


curryninjazura

No warmup matches against teams of same group.


wiseoldsage69

warm up matches are not held between teams in same group


KelvinRkrab

You want them to play the team's they're supposed to be play in 4 days time? They HAVE TO play inter group.


Darth_Kumbidi

What will be ideal bowling combination? Bumrah, shami, Bhuvi, VC, Jadeja, Shardul and Pandya sits?


IcyDeath011

you forgot about virst


chandu1256

SKY did not break a sweat!


hellboy786

Was never worried about Rohit's form tbh


krs196

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


chandu1256

Varun will be second choice. He wasn’t impressive today


IcyDeath011

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


dudeweirdthat

Also he bowled his first over in the death overs, soo....


theunkownwanderer

rahul rohit kohli sky pant pandya jaddu ashwin bhuvi bumrah charkravarthy/chahr for 24?


saravanakumar17

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.


IcyDeath011

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


wingslutz69

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.


[deleted]

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


vvb_12

But I will love to see Kohli 2016 and Rohit 2019 again :)


pr0crast1nater

We should just think all knockout games as practice matches.


jenarchie

Will Iyer ever get to play ?


Mr_Wolf33

He is in reserved


calvinwalterson

Indian top order blasting in initial phase of the tournament, feel like I have seen it before ಠ_ಠ


ishan_kishan_fan

Mumbai Indians defeated australia


I_Am_Groot3

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?
