    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    God damn, an India vs South Africa final.... Are we going to give South Africa another heartbreak in an ICC event? I have always wanted to see South Africa for once, win a world title (they have never done it in a World Cup; Champions Trophy 1998 not included). Indian team looks well rounded...

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    This is an absolute BATTERING for England!!! On a day game even with rain around, you gotta be a little brave and chose to bat! Especially when the stats are in favor of the team batting first. Indian team and fans must feel happier that they properly beat England to advance to the final and...

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    Even by this tournament's pitch standards, this has been an abject failure from Kohli through this tournament and its India's "non-knockout games dominance" that has saved them throughout. I am hoping that Kohli calls it quits for T20I's after this tournament and focuses on tests and ODI's. Coz...

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    Absolute comedy! Indian fans on social media are a unique piece. This is no revenge for that, and the fact that they even thought that India will run away with the 2023 ODI WC while not getting good fight from Australia was laughable. Too much talk about “November 19” during this tournament by...

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    Excellent game last night! Afghanistan has been consistently punching above expectations this tournament and actually have a seriously good T20 side with excellent bowlers and much improved batters. They face South Africa in the semis and I would be happy if either one wins and sad for the one...

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    Cant have a better illustration of how bad Jadeja is in T20's these days, when Axar bowls brilliantly in the very same game with him! Brilliant batting from Head! Despite losing partners regularly, he has kept up the momentum really well and has kept Australia ahead!

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    Travis Head is going to be crucial. Australia has to go slam bang in the Powerplay as the pitch will get slower and the ball harder to hit when it gets softer and with Kuldeep, Axar, Bumrah, Arshdeep, its going to be a tough task for Australia! Rohit played with vengeance and it was a brutally...

    This is a wonderful start by Afghanistan! Setting themselves up for a tough total on this sluggish pitch.

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    I take back my above message as it is pretty clear that India needs to ensure that they win against Australia and top the group, as India will be playing the second semifinal in Guyana and the forecast is for 70% chances of rain/storms. If India lose to Australia and end up as the 2nd team in...

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    I wish Afghanistan can beat Australia tonight so that Australia come out hungry against Indian team and beat Indian team on Monday. Indian team seriously needs a defeat before they hit the knockouts so that it keeps them focused and on their toes for the knockouts. If Australia beat AFG tonight...

    People who know South Africa, would not get excited until they literally see South Africa lifting an ICC title...... :D

    India Team Discussion

    Moving this reply to this thread as its apt! @cricfan123 - David Johnson is an Indian test player. He has played 2 test matches in 1996, and made his debut in the first ever BGT that kickstarted in 1996 under Sachin's captaincy (the famous game where Mongia scored 152). He also played that...

    India Team Discussion

    With the amount of cricket they play, dual coaches are ‘inevitable’. Dravid got lot of flak for taking frequent breaks during his tenure but people have families and 10 months on the road per year, is a LOT!! They are really talking about different teams across red and white ball formats. This...

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    Its disappointing that USA couldn't cross the line there, but that was some mighty effort that they put after being 77-5 and eventually getting to 176 which is 18 runs short. Gous played a brilliant innings with exceptional support from Harmeet. Their approach to the chase couldnt be faulted at...

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    I am going to sound like a 'tape recorder on an infinite loop' here - but as long as people keep associating 'cricket performance to national duty and equate it to national pride', incidents like these are always going to happen. Pakistan could have easily made the Super 8's if they got one hit...

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    Weirdly enough, this ground has served up good amount of thrillers and some significant amount of entertainment despite the pitches being 'batting challenging'. I hope NY somehow finds a middle ground in the future as far as pitches and outfield is concerned (more importantly, that outfield...

    Disappointing from Gous. With no Monank playing today, all the pressure is going to be on Aaron Jones!

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    Indian team had no business winning this game and yes Bumrah the magician bowled a pretty stunning spell to knock them out but Pakistan should be literally kicking themselves for not handling the chase well. For the most part of the chase, they looked on course and the blame should rightfully go...

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    The pitch looks much better and worthy of a T20 game. The outfield still sucks, but with a better pitch, the batters are able to get a lot more boundaries with their power and timing. Pant lived on a knife edge there and he is batting here like how he does in test match cricket and its working...
