@t20tracker No one will question this signings. I can see trend there and similarities in the overseas picks.

@Fancricket12 @kejriwalh87 @Auravauraa Who are your 4 fast bowlers for World Cup and couple of back up for these 4.

[koushik narayanan @koushik289]

@Sahil_Malhotra1 Our first 11

Rohit
Gill
Kohli
Iyer
Kl Rahul
Hardik / Nitish
Axar
Harshit
Kuldeep
Bumrah
Siraj. If you don’t have Hardik and nitish , just play batter or invest in Riyan Parag and he should give few overs.

[Mama @SriniMaama16]

Spain beat Argentina 1-0 & are World Champions! Beating Uruguay, Portugal, Belgium, France & Argentina enroute to victory. Most deserved second star! Viva Espana ⭐⭐🇪🇸🇪🇸🏆🏆

[Ali Martin @Cricket_Ali]

The 2011 and 2015 Cricket World Cup format - two groups of seven, into quarter-finals - was nice

[Maxwell O'Dowd @Maxiboi23]

So you’re telling me, associate sides have to play in a 3 year 50 over tournament, to qualify for a qualifier to qualify for another tri-series qualifier to then qualify for a World Cup.

[Omkar Mankame @Oam_16]

India's success feels despite him, not because of him.

Although, I feel the BCCI has bent so much to his will so far that they will want to go through with him till the 2027 World Cup. Sacking him now could also cause create more chaos.

[koushik narayanan @koushik289]

@IndianMourinho Do we have better options ? I was hoping parag will have good ipl and can be solution at 5 with one or two overs of bowling. Patidar is surely an option.
I am not sure if Kishan will be successful , need to look at jaiswal and gill atleast one of them in top order.

[Alagappan Vijayakumar @IndianMourinho]

Nasser is back with the "this could have gone for six in Indian grounds" line. One tiny sign of England promise and the hype train leaves the station, usually with a side quest of playing down the opponent. India have dominated in Australia and South Africa over the last three years too, and obviously in England as well.

Still no humility after being on the receiving end of the Bazball scam. We remember the hype, the lectures, the nonsense, and the generational humbling that followed.

[G. S. Vivek @GSV1980]

For all the world's best bench strength that Team India selectors and management might boast about, fact remains that we don't have a substitute for Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya.

We may have some batters but bowling bench strength is zilch.

[koushik narayanan @koushik289]

@CricCrazyJohns @sanyamtaparia India desperately need parag in playing 11 and should be able to give one or 2 overs.

[koushik narayanan @koushik289]

@CricCrazyJohns Jaiswal
Suryavanshi / Abhishek
Gill / Samson
Iyer
Patidar
Hardik
Parag - has to bowl one or two if required.
Harshit
Spinner
Arshdeep
Bumrah

One disadvantage left hand missing. Need Rinku and tilak has to hit form at 5 or 6

[koushik narayanan @koushik289]

@captainshanky India missing jaiswal and gill. Also patidar at 5. They will be just fine With hardik Back at 6.

I have never had opinion on abhishek and Ishan outside Asia.

[koushik narayanan @koushik289]

Going to be interesting t20 series

[Ian Raphael Bishop @irbishi]

Zimbabwe are playing some good cricket, getting better and better.

[Mohsin Kamal @64MohsinKamal]

I don’t want to sound harsh, but what is Washington Sundar's role in this team? He plays all formats for what? He is an average spinner at best. His batting isn’t dependable either. #ENGvIND

[koushik narayanan @koushik289]

@captainshanky On current form Axar can play ahead of Varun with only bowling

[koushik narayanan @koushik289]

@prasannalara Not even top 4. No 3 or no 7 facing last 4-5 overs.

[koushik narayanan @koushik289]

Looking at some of the tweets coming from @RevSportzGlobal there is PR activity for Gambhir. CT win should be counted in Dravid and Rohit era
Gambhir has to go.Brought lot of insecurity among players. Backing only certain players. It wasn’t the case with Dravid

[Subhayan Chakraborty @CricSubhayan]

White ball cricket में बाहर से दखल अंदाजी बंद करनी चाहिए। Champions Trophy, Asia Cup, T20 WC विजेता कोच को उनके हिसाब से टीम देनी चाहिए और चलाने देना चाहिए वरना यही हालत होगी।

[Mama @SriniMaama16]

Imagine it's a WC QF. You're Australia 5-time world champs & massive legacy. Not your strongest team anymore, but still expected to beat an emerging Sri Lankan side (before they won 1996 WC) that's improving rapidly, has one genuine superstar, but hasn't achieved much yet.

SL completely outplay you. They scrape to 240 on a difficult pitch, thanks to a 100 from their superstar, then their dibbly dobbly bowlers choke your batting. You're 210/8 in 49 overs.

The final over is being bowled by their best bowler, who's already ripped through you with 4 wickets (Norway GK Ørjan Nyland who was fantastic guarding the goal today).

You're Australia's biggest star of the decade. Injuries have reduced your role over the years, but today you walked in at #7 when the match was in the balance, but you didn't do much & the team collapsed.

210/8 in 49. Game already over. 1st ball of the last, the bowler bowls a full toss & you launch it for six, you turn around & taunt the bowler as if you've won the World Cup. Few balls later, you're out of the world cup. You embarass not only yourself but your entire country by doing so.
