ICC World T20 India 2016 - March/April 2016

[CerealKiller]

While Chasing :

Kohli : (98 matches)
Runs - 4408; Avg - 61.22 ; 100s - 15 ; 50s - 22

ABD : (97 matches)
Runs - 3812; Avg - 57.75 ; 100s - 7 ; 50s - 26


So you know who will be preferable.

I'd still take AB. Maybe because Virat's an Indian (jk)

The funny part is Kohli in limited overs is better than all the 5 players he has mentioned. Looks like his boys went missing today.

Have you guys watched any games with hindi commentary on Star sports 3? Sehwag is so funny - the way he shouts, its like listening to those All India Radio commentaries with so much passion and intensity

Here is a sampler:

Ah! Enjoyed reading all posts here, having been on a blanket self-imposed ban on PC for the entire duration of the game. It was electrifying to watch Kohli dismantle Australia. Even if Starc had been there, Kohli would've dismantled him too here in this game. Australia just didn't have any answers for the storm that was 'Kohli'. Nobody gave a damn on what Kohli was capable of and wanted India to lose. But all of it proved crushingly wrong. The comparisons of this Kohli innings to that 'desert storm' knocks of Sachin in Sharjah was inevitable. Yuvi despite that twisted ankle gave Kohli amazing support. Yuvraj the batsman has been highly underrated this tournament. He has played those 'dirty invaluable' cameos that has lifted the team out of trouble. If he and Kohli had done it against NZ, we would've been table toppers of the group. Our bowlers did a very admirable job pulling back Australia after they ran away to an amazing start. Nehra was fantastic with the ball, his last over was beautiful to watch.

Hope Yuvraj is fit for the semifinal, I want to see him playing that game. If he is not fit, Rahane will come in and should take the opening spot along with Dhawan with Rohit at No.4. If Yuvraj is fit, Rahane should replace Dhawan and open with Rohit. Seeing that we do not have other good options, Raina stays. And Rohit is due a big one soon.

I know a Kohli failure is soon expected (memories of the 2015 WC semis will come flooding now), seeing the venue for our next game (Wankhede), I am expecting our other batters to come to party on a run feast of a ground. A final vs New Zealand or England would be awesome for India if they make it. And as always - I am betting on them.

I don't understand how Raina is still playing for India. Simply not good enough. His time has been up for a while. I hope he can prove me wrong, but I am failing to understand how someone like Manish Pandey wasn't selected.

Shikhar Dhawan is also questionable at best. I go back and forth on him, because he can really turn it on at ICC events, and when he does, he is a match-winner. However, he isn't really carrying his weight right now. Something to think about with Rahane waiting in the wings, but it is a tough call.

For ODIs maybe, but for t20 he has never ever done anything in his life to warrant a place on potential its mindboggling to see our selectors or captains to even pick him over better t20 players. The guy is certainly not a match winner in t20 at his best he will score a 45 ball 60, at worst waste 15-20 balls for nothing.He just doesnt have the game for it, despite hitting a six and a four he is stranded at 12 of 12.

It can be compared to say 10 mins of the Dessert storm

Yuvi despite that twisted ankle gave Kohli amazing support. Yuvraj the batsman has been highly underrated this tournament. He has played those 'dirty invaluable' cameos that has lifted the team out of trouble

Yuvi has certainly played some dirty cameos especially with kohli at the other end, which is why i would like to see him come earlier ahead of raina. Though yesterday im not sure what he did was right, it almost put the match beyond MSD's finishing touches into the zone of needing Kohli Blood Rage mode. Not so much his batting but simply because his running affected momentum of the game big time., i would have had him retire and get pandya or MSD in.

Yesterday's match Nehraji was just invaluable to get things back tight after the aussie start, all the bowlers came back good especially bumrah and ash.

Good to see that the BBL is really improving Australia's record in the World T20.

Openers are crucial for India. If the openers fire, we should be alright to chase this down.[DOUBLEPOST=1459093971][/DOUBLEPOST]

A bit too bold. They will be playing WI in semi-finals if they win this game.

Oops, got the semis mixed up but I was almost right about the win, ended up being a 6 wicket win.

Very odd field placement by Smith in the last 6 overs.[DOUBLEPOST=1459161644][/DOUBLEPOST]I'm changing my prediction, India v NZ final with India getting revenge.

You mean we are the Champions. . We'll lose to west indies by 10 wickets or 100 odd runs.

Good to see that IPL gave us 2 fast bowlers and 1 AR.

Wow. Brilliant piece of writing. Glad you shared it.

To be fair, apart from Zampa, they aren't really picking the players that do well in the IPL. What is picking Nevill all about? Add that to Hazlewood, who barely plays due to his international commitments. What's Jason Behrendorff got to do to get a game? Consistently bowls the Scorchers to glory.

Probably the only way for him to get attention now is to sledge Kohli on Twitter. Didn't do much when he was against him on the field. Absolute flog
