So if anyone wants to watch a batting display tonight, we haven't dismissed David Miller yet and that means we're gonna concede 150 off the next 7 overs

What is this revisionism? That Bangladesh game wasn’t a pressure situation at all, it was a meaningless dead rubber. For a long time our weakness was that we wouldn’t set above par totals when batting first and were only good when chasing, now it’s the opposite for some reason?

I can't help if you find dead rubbers utterly meaningless. For a long time you've held that belief, but to a cricket loving nation, dead rubbers mean that the team outs their best foot forth and not jeopardize their own chances.

As for the chase- don't understand how you can ot classify 2/15 as a non-pressure situation. It is the ideal scenario for players to stake their claim, which they didn't. We haven't been great chasers in crickets especially in KO games-evident from CWC 2015 and 2019 ,don't you think?

Only Scotland has a better win/loss ratio than India, when chasing, in ODI cricket in the last five years.

My point was related to pressure scenarios during chasing. How often has India found themselves at 10/2 or 10/3. That is exactly when the middle order needs to come to the party.

The fact they DON'T often find themselves at 10/3 while chasing just shows how efficiently the top order handle pressure

But when they do, all hell breaks loose! Yesterday,we could have played Kohli, there wa sno geniune reason to drop a man in form from getting more match time.( unless Dravid has some hidden agenda)

Losing to a 3rd rate BD team rankles more than losing to Pakistan or Sri Lanka.

Say what you may! Siraj bowled well today and was lucky. I'd still go with Shami and Bumrah as our top seamers.
