I don't care that we lost - I care that there was no fight or plan going into this.

No strategy for approaching the chase strategically, the bowling seemed flat at the end and fielding was subpar (at best).

This close to a WC you can't let any team steamroll you like this! And worse of all, not all teams are going to get rolled out for below 250 for an easy case. Fakhar Zaman has been out of form for a while now (but can't really replace him so close to the WC), Imam seems like a flat track bully and worse of all Rana Sahab is a joke of a cricketer who seems to come into the side for no reason or stats to back his performance - why not have Wasim Jr at least he is a half decent bowling option and can do just about the same with the bat then Rana.

Use it as motivation for Pakistan.

i didn't have time to watch the match today and after looking at the scorecard, i'm glad I didn't... ufff that was rough...

Looking forward to the next match coming soon

The same old rule is still true, if our best bowlers have a bad day, the batsmen will crumble under pressure.

Get ready for some idiotic rotations today. Fully expecting them to rest Kohli and Rohit for the game.

Can anyone explain how KLR kept wickets yesterday? I believe, the team sheet suggested that Kishan was the designated keeper. Is it not against the rulesto have someone else keep? In such situations, the opposition captain has to be consulted- perhaps Babar gave his blessings to the move. I am assuming this might have happened over dinner break.

Rohit: Let KLR keep
Babar: Ha ha! You want a part time keeper to replace your main one. I will ensure Haris and Naseem don't bowl your batsmen out!

Ofcourse!

The fun would begin if Shreyas scores a ton as well...

Might've been injury. I think Kishan kept the first 6 overs

Stage is set for them to drop Ishan. Cricinfo reports that India will consider bringing in Suryakumar instead of Kishan.

I would have believed injury, but then wasn't Kishan out in the field? If injured, he should head back to the dressing room, right?

Anyhow, let's see what happens today.

At this point, I'm not even sure if you're joking or are serious.

The rule states that only your designated keeper should keep. Unless there's an injury. In this case there was none. An opposition captain must be consulted under such circumstances. I do remember Ricky Ponting animatedly discussing this during one of the games in early 2000s.

Also, the umpires need to agree to this change

Is this really true? Learnt something new if so.

Let me try and find the exact wordings. I do believe they need consensus....

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Do rules matter? They changed them half way through the tournament to get one match finished, I doubt they care about who keeps wicket.

I believe it’s true if your keeper was already injured or not fully fit and you needed to sub them out. If your keeper developed an injury during play then I believe the umpires are all that need to be consulted with. This was what I saw flying around during the Ashes.

I could be wrong though.
