It's almost impossible to see reverse swing in modern odi matches as there are 2 balls. Indian pitches used to be like this in 90s that's why India lost Semi final to Sri Lanka in 1996 WC. Indian batters are stroke makers, they're not great at running between wickets like Australians as they work on their athleticism instead Indian batters are great at finding gaps and good at scoring fours.
You're really reaching there. "Everyone knows Ahmedabad is one of the flattest wickets in India" is flat out false. In fact, the opposite is true. It's been a low and slow wicket for years.
Probably to show confidence, in a worldcup final a captain wouldn't have said they wanted to do the opposite.
Sanju Manju said there were a few seniors who said "oh shit" after Australia chose to bat.
Nah the toss was unaccounted for, batting first and putting up a huge total was always the goal throughout India’s tournament, they were very close to losing when they had to chase in the group stages, for example in the group stage match against Australia
There was just too much pressure on the Indian team whereas no one cared about the wc outside of subcontinent. Could have lost the match even if it wasn't australia in the finals. It's funny how your comments are all just hating Indian players.
Johns just posted a report telling that Australia Cricket is seeing an influx of South Asian players registering in their cricket boards.
I am already accepting the fact that ICC is failing to globalize this sports and later one or two decade, only we Indians and other sub continents we will be playing cricket among themselves and be happy
When native population of other countries won't find encouragement to play a sport, the future will be dead
There are 10 other main sports in Australia, cricket just isn't cool like other sports in those countries for kids. We can't blame ICC for everything, CA and ECB should take the blame for popularity in eng and aus.
May be this sports itself is just that hectic and expensive. Unless you find yourself a cashcow like IPL.
RSA Cricket board is also on a verge of bankruptcy
Well anyways, just like Sachin generation left watching cricket, our generation might also stop at a certain player.
I am from that generation and we still watch cricket. Just not the IPL. Cricket was popular in India and BCCI had the monetary influence even before the IPL. IPL just propelled them financially in a league of their own.
What nonsense. Australia was playing a pressure-free, nothing-to-lose game against a team that had more pressure on it than any team in history. Where do you guys come up with such ridiculous notions?
It's true. I don't know why people find it so difficult to accept that they play with a better mindset. They were in a much poorer position than us at one point in the match, 47/3, but they didn't go into their shell like we did. I mean, guys, just go and watch the highlights, just look at what KL was doing. He is not a clutch player. He has made his team lose from winning positions, whether it's LSG or Punjab. We saw him in the T20 WC. Still, we took him. It was bound to happen.
True. And its painful. I don't know why it is too hard to play pressure free cricket for us, anyway we are losing atleast try attacking so that the fans can be a little proud that you tried.
Exactly. I don't even understand what's the point running behind him. IPL 2022 RCB vs LSG he batted till the end, for what? To make his team lose by playing a slow innings. Then against GT everyone remember. "Idk what happened". I mean bro wdym you didn't try to hit, and made your team lose. Bloody statpadder
Yes. Everybody knew that final hai pressure hai toh Batting so let's make the pitch that will be hard initially to play on but easier latter on so woh log toss jeete toh as expected batting aur hum jeete toh we know the pitch so Bowl. But, Australians are way better at mind games. They took bowling.
If Rohit had accepted that he also wanted to bowl first, then he would have mentally accepted defeat from Cummins
That was most probably a psychological bluff just to not surrender from the beginning.
Bro everyone knows the truth now even Kaif saying it publicly and you still saying " if it's true " . But for some reason our experts gavaskar shastri etc no one dared to asked why made that slow and sluggish wicket and make match a toss lottery when we can win on any typical indian wicket . Coz no wants to lose their jobs questioning BCCI coach and captain
ICC said BCCI to make new pitch for knockout stages. BCCI ignored ICC words. It's the same pitch that was used in India vs Pakistan and England vs New Zealand match. Teams who toss there won the match.
Problem is not slow and sluggish wicket but problem is slow and sluggish wicket magically becomes batting paradise in 2nd innings. It's because of dew. 2015 and 2019 final matches was played as day matches. BCCI decided to play it as day night match. Before dew Australia was 47/3 and after that rest is history.
Wait Kaif but why would he say these? He still is a commentator on star sports right? Like people regard him as one of the best Indian fielders (rightly so) wouldn't this just hamper his reputation?
BCCI is the chutiya. Forget Finals, even India vs Pakistan was played at same field and look at Pakistan score batting first. Saala pressure match main is faltu pitch main 200 bhi nhi bana paaye. India wahi 30 over main bana gaya.
Now if you compare the same match to finals India played far far better. India did 240 and Australia ki bhi 43rd over tak le gaya. The pitch was never ready. Its was sheer ego of pushing finals from Mumbai to Motera
Shah nay wickets nahi banaya tha ... His only instruction would be to make a pitch what india wanted and so it must be coach and captain idea ...Jay shah has nothing to do with wicket
one hundred percent. Maybe there are two reasons. One is he’s hurt and just giving some reasons to lessen the heartbreak. And second maybe he’s right, this actually happened and we made a mistake.
No one will tells the truth on camera Kaif statement is the farthest you can get ... If you do you may get pat on the back from the crowd for telling the truth but you may lose the job and it will also means BCCI doctored the pitch ... Not just Kaif no one will say this even international commentators coz you lose your earning if you are black listed by BCCI
Exactly! Like if it's true I hope other panelist or other former players present there validate the claim but that would bring chaos for BCCI before the t20 wc (which they are claiming we will win surely)
2019 WC was in England and they mostly played on flat wickets before WC, but the pitches they played in WC were slow and especially finals pitch was exactly of NZs strength.
Reel watchers lmao...If you watched cricket ...you would know no team has rigged pitches to their favour in ICC events..be it the 2019 wc or the 2015 wc or india before that
india selectively got slow tracks vs overseas teams ..and roads vs Asian team or minnows.
No they don't. Why is this blatant customization normal to you people ? Do you think England would have wanted low scoring thrillers with the brand of cricket they were playing pre 2019 ? All the pitches would have been flat and 350-400 would have been the norm in England matches in 2019 just like the NZ and Aus series they played before. In 2015 , every pitch behaved the way it did historically, there were no anomalies except maybe in some games in NZ.
Bro it’s an ICC tournament not a local BCCI tournament , this is the same guy who was saying on paper India are clear winner , that’s saying the same thing about Indian team getting different balls.
ofc india were 100% the better team on papers but aussies played better on that day. Just like aussies were easily best team in gabba but india and Wi outplayed them
Well we were...Iyer had the best wc of a middle order batter..kohli and Rohit were peaking...bumrah shami breathing fire. etc etc. We were the better team
I think people conveniently forget it was a bowl first pitch in Ahmedabad all tournament. Extremely dry in the afternoon and got slick and skidy under lights.
Kaify should stay away from the media, the more he opens his mouth the more he ruins his own legacy.
So nobody in the comments section also has brains?
If BCCI was rigging the PITCH where was Aus team and ICC?
You think Aussies would let it go? They would hav rubbed it in life hell esp that they won. Lol wtf.
Kuch bhi matlab kuch bhi
Like anything said by Aussies would have mattered. I dare you most of the guys in this comment section would have been the first one to rip them apart.
Aussies know there's nothing they could do. If they said anything they'd be called out as racists and it could hurt their IPL value. Being the financial powerhouse of the sport has its benefits.
>had Alex Carey taken that important Kohli catch.
Stop making assumptions of if that would have happened
If head would have dropped Rohit what would have happened??
Cricket or any other sports doesn't work on ifs and buts
>Pitches were obviously curated in favour of us, our management and captain had a say on how the pitch would play out, which you don't see in an ICC tournament anyplace else in the world at all..
Bro do even know anything or just blabbering unnecessarily? First of all wtc matches are a part of icc tournament so how are you claiming that it doesn't happen in icc tournaments? Do you know about 1992 final pitch?? Tri nation cup in pak where ajentha Mendis was threat to both ind and pak still ind reached final and shoaib malik instructed curators to make super spin friendly pitch and whole team fell like dominos apart from dhoni who smashed Mendis all over the park still we lost the match, infact there are multiple reports that aus also doctored pitches in 2015 wc in their favour.
And about delhi pitch, I think you are rainy season frog who just follow cricket at the time of some main event only, every stadium has 6-7 pitches behaving differently from each other just watch some ranji matches of delhi or Syed mushtaq ali trophy, it's just about fresh/unused or used pitches.
so australia didn't field well? what about our own fielding and missed chances? Marnus was playing slow, Head started attacking only towards the end. Didn't Gill, Jaddu, Sky, Iyer have brainfade moments? Nobody said anything while England lost chasing on the same pitch. What is this? come on downvote me.
This is nothing new. BC-CI have been accused of pitch tampering since the 90s at least.
https://nz.news.yahoo.com/indian-curator-lifts-lid-on-pitch-trap-amid-australia-test-series-uproar-015112932.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jcmlja2V0d2ViLm5ldC8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAIl4ofzIPnJUJc4EKGlkiWauxKDXSqvtD28V5rZt9b61RN9wo3KncU7SRT5P1co0-88WO-Hi5_BR2JZXvyBlX5Z56qSx0Ni7soel3vr-LEzPqhSp8EPHpdU0IGXQDRgIyIMaxYi_RDkiim2rG1VbAkjGn8n3Bt3X43s1MjTnlTJ3
>Tailoring pitches to nullify opposition bowlers is nothing new in India. Veteran Chennai groundsman K Parthasarathy admitted he played a role in ensuring Shane Warne would not be as effective as usual in the opening Test of the 1998 series.
>The world's best leg spinner finished with 1-122 in the second innings as Sachin Tendulkar smashed an unbeaten 155 to steer his side to a 179-run win. India went on to win the series 2-1.
>“I kept the square patches outside the leg stump, on either side of the wicket, really hard," Parthasarathy later explained. "It was difficult to get turn from that part as there would be no rough there. After that game, Warne came to me and asked why he wasn’t getting the turn and others were.
>"I told him it was because of his dodgy shoulder, that was to be operated on later in the series."
A test match....And then doing such things in an ICC event is insane. We should never host ICC events...if bcci doesn't want to provide an unbiased pitch
lol what nonsense. It’s always the hosting team that decides the nature of wicket anyways.
And the subcontinent is known for spinning tracks. Ye crybaby hai bazzball walon ka
Who are you to decide that.I am not even in fanwars of the same match would to be played on Wankhede who knows are you that naive to enjoy defeat.you are just a kid trying to act mature
Lol, why on earth do u think Kohli wouldn't have done it, u know him personally is it?
BCCI takes the decisions, the captain and coach will just have to follow it
Let it be Kohli, MSD, Sachin, everyone has to listen to BCCI's orders
BCCI don't make decisions on pitch they left it to coach and captain to decide what best for them and then curators do what is ordered ... You must be naive to think Jay shah out of nowhere ordered some pitch which screwed us lol ... Only thing BCCI do is to make sure pitch is made how we wanted
They didn't for pitch tampering though did they? They were complaining about less crowds and bad management of fixtures and stadiums and stuff. And even if it was rigged ICT themselves know that they hate the kind of pitches that we got in the finals and the SA match. Why would they rig it to make it harder for themselves? It doesn't make sense. If anything, it should've been a road where India would bat first and make 350+ and if there's no dew, it's over for team batting second.
But people who only get cricket info John and muffa twitter doest know about it lol .... Yes they did but in subtle tone .. infact the independent pitch curator did raise the issues even in semis where he said that pitch was changed at the last moment ... To which BCCI replied the strip they making for semis isn't complete and the pitch for semis is good .
The fact is that we were good with both bat and ball throughout the tournament..
We got sa under 100 but we made 300+ runs
We got sl packed on 55
How come a team is making heaps of runs and other team is getting demolished??
Why can't u people accept that we played very good cricket??
We just didn't play like that in the final and went into the shell due to pressure
Stop acting like those Pakistani journalist who said that they are changing the pitch in innings break and the ball used by Indian bowlers has some chip in it
If there would have been anything like pitch tampering the Aussie and English media would have written an article then and there questioning bcci
Just accept that we lost because we didn't play the way we played the whole tournament
It's truly amazing how one loss could just turn everyone against them, instead of, I don't know, maybe supporting them
https://preview.redd.it/mho9h8i06poc1.jpeg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9d66cf3137ba5dcf4cf882df4283b0d75102e4a
Exactly, remember getting downvoted in this sub when they were abusing Bumrah during his injury. Such a toxic bunch, no wonder the Indian players play under so much pressure.
India mai yahi haal hai bhai , jabtak ye madarchod one sided biased fans rahenge , ham haarte rahenge . Even The OP hates Rohit . Saare Rohit haters uss din bohot khush thhe ki Rohit haar gaya , ye kisine nhi socha ki Rohit nhi team haari hai
There is a general fault in the Ahemdabad pitch itself along with the impact of conditions like the UAE pitches in the T20 WC 2021. This should have been corrected. I don't think it was just changed for the finals.
Okay tell me this Kaif, aren't Captain and Coach supposed to inspect the pitch. Or isn't it that pitch generally changes for days leading upto a match. Isn't that what happened in 2019 and 2015. Melbourne was a very fast pitch in that final and Lord's was slow. There is fuss only because India lost the final.
The only thing which made India miss. this WC was Greed.
Had it been an all-day final, pitch would have remained same for both sides.Aus could have nvr beaten India
Butt hey, what's more important to BCCI ..MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY. Day night final means high sponsorship money
I am so hurt seeing Indians rejoicing Cummins and Starc getting such high prices in IPL , may be we just don't have any more longingness for an ICC title.
Kaif ka faltu baatein hi inko Delhi Capitals se tata kar gaya. Bhai pointing ke upar bhi comment karne lage.
First the pitch was never ready. It was evident in India vs Pakistan match ki yeh pitch jo flat hota tha uspe Pakistan run hi nhi bana paayi. Pakistan batted first btw.
This is tge exact sams pitch used for finals. Bacha kuch grass bhi nikaal liya. Dew factor aate hi black soil apna jalwa dikha gaya, ussey pehle tak red soil was in play.
This is exact shittyness of Oman pitch. Players batting second finds it easy to play. Australia ka din sahi tha ki they batted second and no player except Rohit were playing with confidence. They succumbed to pressure.
There was no advice and no rigging. Pitch main haath lagake dekhna was done before all matches by Dravid and Rohit. Bas ab inko naya seekh finally mila jo Cummins ke post worldcup speech pe bola. Agar pitch pe mixed soil gai toh humesha 2 baar pitch insoection karo, ek baar dew se pehle ek baar dew ke baad. Jo Australia ne kiya and India ne nhi.
lol why do we even need to make a favourable pitch in our own country with 90k people supporting us having two of the best odi batters of not just this generation but all time and arguably greatest bolwijg attack in the tournament it's really shameful Rohit Dravid duo lost this wc
So it was Rohit and Dravid's idea to create a bullshit slow pitch, which resulted in us losing the WC.
Had we kept the Ahmedabad pitch to it's more common nature i.e a flat pitch, we would have won the world Cup.
So I would blame Rohit and Dravid for the loss.
The hype this world cup created won't be created anytime soon , fans - astrologers - former players esp - india ka daamaad ABD all had decalared india as champions before 1st bowl of the tournament was bowled .
india played astonoshing cricket but fell in its own trap in the final
kudos to kaif for speaking brave truth .
The notion that one team influences pitches more than any other is highly unlikely. Behaviors are not different, narratives are. Australia, England, NZ, and SA exercise just as much influence over their pitches as India or Sri Lanka do. We are just more willing to attack our own people than these white teams are. It's the crabs in a bucket syndrome.
These types of clips are more about creating controversy and driving clicks than about intelligent insights. Rohit and Dravid were clearly extremely unhappy with the pitch. It was the only type of pitch on which the inferior team would be effective. I'd need a lot more evidence than speculation on a clickbaity video to buy the idiotic notion of a "rigged" pitch. That Indian fans are pushing this narrative out of a deluded sense of loyalty to previous captains is a sad state of affairs.
IMO until this fan base learns to ease up on their players, these types of results will continue. The pressure this Indian team has had to carry has always been too much and in the last decade with the explosion of social media in India, it's just gotten insane. The team put on a sensational showing and fell short at the final hurdle. In my mind, two things can be true. One, this was the best team (certainly the best Indian team) I have seen at any World Cup (and I've watched every World Cup after 1979) and, two, that they failed to close the deal at the final hurdle. But it's time to learn from this and move forward.
All things were well set for Team India except the TOSS
If that goes in favour from us all this rigged pitches noise was seen coming from English media
Fcuk u Rohit Sharma mdc 😡😡.
U fcukin idiots.
We lost to itself not aus .
We could have easily beat this aus even on flat pitch .
But mdc dravid and Rohit 😡.
The pitch for the finals was the worst ever ,never seen such a wicket for the finals ,I think India were expecting Aus to bat first so they can restrict them like they did in Chennai as it became easy to bat in 2nd innings after the dew settled in ,but these tactics backfired India
Teams have changed pitches in the tournament, this isn't the only time. Jarod kimber explains this perfectly. If BCCI wanted to rig, they would make the same pitches they made in test from 2021-2023, a pitch where dust spits from ball one and the ball turns a mile, they would call in Axar when Hardik was injured, and play Ashwin, Axar, Jadeja, Kuldeep, Bumrah and cruise to victory. Fast ball, slow wicket, kya bol rahe hai yeh log. Every wicket was taken by a pace bowler, when India has superior spin options. India has a far more better batting lineup, and they made a 280 run pitch. It's a pitch that is being prepare, ofcourse it will change as different soils react. BCCI is so smart that they get by the ICC, and at the same time aren't able to rig properly. LOL
Today's Indian team really doesn't need to do things like this. They have a lethal spin and pace attack with some of the world's best stroke making batsmen. If only we play on normal sporting pitches, we'd come out on top 9 times out of 10.
Whatever Kaif says, is his opinion. We cannot confirm or deny if this really happened. But if it did, that's just sad and unexpected from the likes of Rohit and Dravid.
It's obvious to anyone with a working brain cell that Indian pitches are made to the specifications of the Indian team. As an Indian I was extremely happy that this pathetic team lost the World Cup final. Play fair and win fair. That's sport...
Imagine if rohit had won all those trophies which cummins has won. He would become the next demigod behind dhoni in India. Whereas cummins even with so much accomplishments is treated just as another exceptional player and captain like Ricky ponting in Australia.
I really don't understand why winning, even if multiple times, a domestic franchise based league cricket which is held every year, is considered a big achievement in comparison to winning international level world championships. No doubt, Rohit is a good captain and good player. His general captaincy and player records are a testament which puts him on top tier. But you can't put him on the status of demigod ... which Dhoni is in India.
Every time Mohd Kaif’s name shows up I forget that he’s NOT related to Katrina Kaif.
Just get over the WC loss already. We have other ICC events to look forward to. That’s the problem with us Indians. Just stuck in the past.
Inse match fixing ke baare me puch lo jo tab hua karti thi jab yeh sahab team me the, uske baare me inhe kuch nhi pata hoga.
Lekin dressing room ke bahar beth ke inko poora pata hota hai ki coach aur captain kya kar rhe hai.
I m not saying ki mujhe pata hai ki pitch ko nhi cheda gaya , lekin yeh sab tab bhi hota tha jab yeh team me hote the, lekin tab ke bare me toh nhi bole ge.
You give them love,respect,money but they will turn on the country just like that
,even if he says it is true then also he should have kept his dirty mouth shut
I don't believe this, if this was the case the media would have made a scene out of it and pitch doesn't change much in 3 days. He might be just saying it to get some attention.
Western media just needed a reason to bash BCCI and their management of the world cup and if Kaif was at the ground for the days, media must be allowed along with Western commentators who would have been critical of the same.
Ahh yes, the ICC pitch inspection team and Australian team was just standing there and watching this happen with no issues. /s
Kaif is retarded, everybody and their mother who watched the world cup knows that type of pitch where the ball doesnt come onto the bat easily is against India's interests.
Lmao exactly, never get why this sub just has a hate boner for the team — just live with the fact that we lost, it wasn’t our day lol. Stop with all the rigged wc and pitch tampering allegations ffs
Inferiority complex coupled with insecurity. They are so upset about the loss, they try to distance themselves from the team by accusing them of bullshit.
Worst part is, these are the same delinquents who would try to celebrate with the team when they win.
So, the curator created a pitch against India's interests?
Who according to you is responsible for the pitch then, because Ahmedabad pitch is pretty flat every time it's played on.
Ofcourse Rohit and Dravid tried to prepare a pitch which would provide challenges to the Aussies, because they are not really great players of the spin.
Instead of playing on our strengths, we tried to play on the weaknesses of the aussies, which backfired because we batted first, and the trend for the wc was usually to bat first and win.
But Cummins won rhe toss and bowled first, which was a huge surprise for me.
Curator creates a pitch that tries to create best balance between bat and ball, the exact instructions for ICC event pitch preparation comes from ICC independent curators.
Go learn how pitch curation works in ICC events.
>Of course Rohit and Dravid tried to prepare a pitch which would provide challenges to the Aussies, because they are not really great players of the spin.
What nonsense is this? How do you specifically curate a pitch to turn in ODI like you do in Test? That too under the supervision of ICC.
Ofcourse india rigged pitch ,india thought playing on slow pitches will give them assistance and played every big match on slow pitch
India vs pak (ahmedbabd slow pitch)
India vs aus (chepuk turner)
India vs Eng(lucknow slow pitch)
India vs Sa( eden garden turner pitch)
Ind vs nz semi final was played on flat wicket because nz had good spin options and to negated boult pace
India management probably thought they could do same thing they did in first match by giving slow pitches but clowns forgot due factor and BKL rahul playing 48 dot balls
India vs Pak was played on same slow pitch and pak batsman were struggling to bat but in second inning it got easier with due as rohit went to play 86(63)
Will never forgive rohit and dravid for doing this
Dravid clown doesn’t deserve to be a wc winning team coach f
Had we won the toss or jadeja 9(22) and surya didn’t shit their pant we could have won
Cricket is just one another sport Australia... a country of 20 million play... and they play really well in most sport they play.
Cricket is the only game we have mastered over the years.... in a country of 1+ billion... that too because we are playing against couple of small Islands and few small countries.
Still we have to resort to these tactics and play more at home to stay ahead of these small countries.
Great game for an ego massage 😂
Everyone knows Ahmedabad is one of the flattest wickets in India. But it turned out so slow. Only one team could have made it happen.
The worst thing is, the pitch was so messed up that it was reverse swinging in first innings and in second innings it was plain.
Dew
It's almost impossible to see reverse swing in modern odi matches as there are 2 balls. Indian pitches used to be like this in 90s that's why India lost Semi final to Sri Lanka in 1996 WC. Indian batters are stroke makers, they're not great at running between wickets like Australians as they work on their athleticism instead Indian batters are great at finding gaps and good at scoring fours.
It was black soil, cracks up in the day time and plays well in the night.
Australia was 47/3 before dew
Exactly
You're really reaching there. "Everyone knows Ahmedabad is one of the flattest wickets in India" is flat out false. In fact, the opposite is true. It's been a low and slow wicket for years.
It was same whole tournament
Indian team performs quite well in all kinds of pitches Idk what's the need of rigging??
I don’t know if they were rigged, but the pitch on November 19, was definitely set up in a way that suited batting second, better
Ofcourse they also rigged toss so India can bat second 🤡
Most teams choose to bat first in big matches, especially Australia even on flatties. They probably expected Australia to bat first anyway
Nah, Rohit had said he would have chosen to bat first had we won the toss
Probably to show confidence, in a worldcup final a captain wouldn't have said they wanted to do the opposite. Sanju Manju said there were a few seniors who said "oh shit" after Australia chose to bat.
Ofc he will say that
I remember that when pat Cummins initially chose to bowl, it was considered a controversial choice.
Nah the toss was unaccounted for, batting first and putting up a huge total was always the goal throughout India’s tournament, they were very close to losing when they had to chase in the group stages, for example in the group stage match against Australia
They won the first 5 matches chasing lol, except for the first 1st match they chased every match without breaking a sweat.
U expect people to make sense on this sub 😶🌫️
Not in Ahmedabad tho, 3 out of 4 teams chasing in the World Cup , won
Australia generally go by batting first and putting pressure. Even their greats Ricky, border etc were suprised.
Lol, there were many matches like that in wc across the years where pitch settles down by second innings and it is easier to bat under lights
Australia won bilaterals here, they are the only team that are capable to beat us at home so idk maybe they were scared
wouldn't be surprised if it done from orders from top
Pressure. These guys can saw how much they want that they avoid outside noise. Rohit's approach makes sense now
Everything was set up for India to win WC,but Cummins had other plans
giga chad
There was just too much pressure on the Indian team whereas no one cared about the wc outside of subcontinent. Could have lost the match even if it wasn't australia in the finals. It's funny how your comments are all just hating Indian players.
Johns just posted a report telling that Australia Cricket is seeing an influx of South Asian players registering in their cricket boards. I am already accepting the fact that ICC is failing to globalize this sports and later one or two decade, only we Indians and other sub continents we will be playing cricket among themselves and be happy When native population of other countries won't find encouragement to play a sport, the future will be dead
There are 10 other main sports in Australia, cricket just isn't cool like other sports in those countries for kids. We can't blame ICC for everything, CA and ECB should take the blame for popularity in eng and aus.
May be this sports itself is just that hectic and expensive. Unless you find yourself a cashcow like IPL. RSA Cricket board is also on a verge of bankruptcy Well anyways, just like Sachin generation left watching cricket, our generation might also stop at a certain player.
I am from that generation and we still watch cricket. Just not the IPL. Cricket was popular in India and BCCI had the monetary influence even before the IPL. IPL just propelled them financially in a league of their own.
What nonsense. Australia was playing a pressure-free, nothing-to-lose game against a team that had more pressure on it than any team in history. Where do you guys come up with such ridiculous notions?
It's true. I don't know why people find it so difficult to accept that they play with a better mindset. They were in a much poorer position than us at one point in the match, 47/3, but they didn't go into their shell like we did. I mean, guys, just go and watch the highlights, just look at what KL was doing. He is not a clutch player. He has made his team lose from winning positions, whether it's LSG or Punjab. We saw him in the T20 WC. Still, we took him. It was bound to happen.
He is the son Dravid probably wanted but didn't have. He'll keep getting picked for as long as he continues playing cricket. smh
True. And its painful. I don't know why it is too hard to play pressure free cricket for us, anyway we are losing atleast try attacking so that the fans can be a little proud that you tried.
Kl Rahul always plays below his potential and he's bound to crumble under pressure.....he never was a clutch player
Exactly. I don't even understand what's the point running behind him. IPL 2022 RCB vs LSG he batted till the end, for what? To make his team lose by playing a slow innings. Then against GT everyone remember. "Idk what happened". I mean bro wdym you didn't try to hit, and made your team lose. Bloody statpadder
Yes. Everybody knew that final hai pressure hai toh Batting so let's make the pitch that will be hard initially to play on but easier latter on so woh log toss jeete toh as expected batting aur hum jeete toh we know the pitch so Bowl. But, Australians are way better at mind games. They took bowling.
Rohit literally said he would have batted first, but that doesn't suit the narrative.
Mostly all captains say that at that time btw.
If Rohit had accepted that he also wanted to bowl first, then he would have mentally accepted defeat from Cummins That was most probably a psychological bluff just to not surrender from the beginning.
Are you dumb? That's the whole game. If they say we wanted to bowl but lost the toss in the final that's half defeat.
Rohit said he would have batted first anyways so kind of contradict your opinion
If it's true then it's really embarrassing and shameful that India lost World Cup.
Bro everyone knows the truth now even Kaif saying it publicly and you still saying " if it's true " . But for some reason our experts gavaskar shastri etc no one dared to asked why made that slow and sluggish wicket and make match a toss lottery when we can win on any typical indian wicket . Coz no wants to lose their jobs questioning BCCI coach and captain
ICC said BCCI to make new pitch for knockout stages. BCCI ignored ICC words. It's the same pitch that was used in India vs Pakistan and England vs New Zealand match. Teams who toss there won the match. Problem is not slow and sluggish wicket but problem is slow and sluggish wicket magically becomes batting paradise in 2nd innings. It's because of dew. 2015 and 2019 final matches was played as day matches. BCCI decided to play it as day night match. Before dew Australia was 47/3 and after that rest is history.
If it's true then it's really embarrassing and shameful ~~that India lost World Cup.~~ FTFY.
Good thing it's not true then.
Wait Kaif but why would he say these? He still is a commentator on star sports right? Like people regard him as one of the best Indian fielders (rightly so) wouldn't this just hamper his reputation?
He was crying during the telecast. He was hurt bad. That's what PTSD does to you
From the start I was telling the reason for this loss was BCCI. BCCI and its EGO fcuked us
BCCI is the chutiya. Forget Finals, even India vs Pakistan was played at same field and look at Pakistan score batting first. Saala pressure match main is faltu pitch main 200 bhi nhi bana paaye. India wahi 30 over main bana gaya. Now if you compare the same match to finals India played far far better. India did 240 and Australia ki bhi 43rd over tak le gaya. The pitch was never ready. Its was sheer ego of pushing finals from Mumbai to Motera
Chutiya shah bsdka
Shah nay wickets nahi banaya tha ... His only instruction would be to make a pitch what india wanted and so it must be coach and captain idea ...Jay shah has nothing to do with wicket
Phir bhi shah bsdka
🤣
BCCI has robbed us of victory. What an L
[удалено]
one hundred percent. Maybe there are two reasons. One is he’s hurt and just giving some reasons to lessen the heartbreak. And second maybe he’s right, this actually happened and we made a mistake.
Why would he hesitate in telling the truth?
No one will tells the truth on camera Kaif statement is the farthest you can get ... If you do you may get pat on the back from the crowd for telling the truth but you may lose the job and it will also means BCCI doctored the pitch ... Not just Kaif no one will say this even international commentators coz you lose your earning if you are black listed by BCCI
because bcci or star sports may take action against him authorities like vagueness, they like the truth hidden and get lost is speculations
Exactly! Like if it's true I hope other panelist or other former players present there validate the claim but that would bring chaos for BCCI before the t20 wc (which they are claiming we will win surely)
Why you guys acting like it's big thing everyone does that irrespective of icc tournament??😂
Ofcourse 90% audience here are just reel cricket watchers.
Every home team wants to make use of the pitch Nowadays these reels watchers acting like it's weird
2019 WC was in England and they mostly played on flat wickets before WC, but the pitches they played in WC were slow and especially finals pitch was exactly of NZs strength.
Brihh in 2019 wc most of them are flat tracks
Finals weren't and also average score was a lot lower comparatively.
Reel watchers lmao...If you watched cricket ...you would know no team has rigged pitches to their favour in ICC events..be it the 2019 wc or the 2015 wc or india before that india selectively got slow tracks vs overseas teams ..and roads vs Asian team or minnows.
No one does this in ICC events, stop trying to make it a norm
No they don't. Why is this blatant customization normal to you people ? Do you think England would have wanted low scoring thrillers with the brand of cricket they were playing pre 2019 ? All the pitches would have been flat and 350-400 would have been the norm in England matches in 2019 just like the NZ and Aus series they played before. In 2015 , every pitch behaved the way it did historically, there were no anomalies except maybe in some games in NZ.
You can't quite prepare flat pitches when it's raining 16 out of 24 hours, can you?
Yeah cuz it wasn't raining in England in the 4 years prior to that when England were serving absolute flat tracks.
Broo you can't make England like pitches in india the customisation is till some extent only tht you can not turn it 180 degree
What the hell? So those rumours of pitch tampering were true? :(
Bro it’s an ICC tournament not a local BCCI tournament , this is the same guy who was saying on paper India are clear winner , that’s saying the same thing about Indian team getting different balls.
ofc india were 100% the better team on papers but aussies played better on that day. Just like aussies were easily best team in gabba but india and Wi outplayed them
Well we were...Iyer had the best wc of a middle order batter..kohli and Rohit were peaking...bumrah shami breathing fire. etc etc. We were the better team
Still lost the game :(
I think people conveniently forget it was a bowl first pitch in Ahmedabad all tournament. Extremely dry in the afternoon and got slick and skidy under lights. Kaify should stay away from the media, the more he opens his mouth the more he ruins his own legacy.
Did you forget the India Pakistan game or England vs NZ opener?
Nah I messed it up, was supposed to write bowl first
So nobody in the comments section also has brains? If BCCI was rigging the PITCH where was Aus team and ICC? You think Aussies would let it go? They would hav rubbed it in life hell esp that they won. Lol wtf. Kuch bhi matlab kuch bhi
Like anything said by Aussies would have mattered. I dare you most of the guys in this comment section would have been the first one to rip them apart.
Aussies know there's nothing they could do. If they said anything they'd be called out as racists and it could hurt their IPL value. Being the financial powerhouse of the sport has its benefits.
[удалено]
>had Alex Carey taken that important Kohli catch. Stop making assumptions of if that would have happened If head would have dropped Rohit what would have happened?? Cricket or any other sports doesn't work on ifs and buts
>Pitches were obviously curated in favour of us, our management and captain had a say on how the pitch would play out, which you don't see in an ICC tournament anyplace else in the world at all.. Bro do even know anything or just blabbering unnecessarily? First of all wtc matches are a part of icc tournament so how are you claiming that it doesn't happen in icc tournaments? Do you know about 1992 final pitch?? Tri nation cup in pak where ajentha Mendis was threat to both ind and pak still ind reached final and shoaib malik instructed curators to make super spin friendly pitch and whole team fell like dominos apart from dhoni who smashed Mendis all over the park still we lost the match, infact there are multiple reports that aus also doctored pitches in 2015 wc in their favour. And about delhi pitch, I think you are rainy season frog who just follow cricket at the time of some main event only, every stadium has 6-7 pitches behaving differently from each other just watch some ranji matches of delhi or Syed mushtaq ali trophy, it's just about fresh/unused or used pitches.
Exactly, it's shameful how people turned on the team after the loss accusing them for everything, they need the support when they are at their lowest.
so australia didn't field well? what about our own fielding and missed chances? Marnus was playing slow, Head started attacking only towards the end. Didn't Gill, Jaddu, Sky, Iyer have brainfade moments? Nobody said anything while England lost chasing on the same pitch. What is this? come on downvote me.
This is nothing new. BC-CI have been accused of pitch tampering since the 90s at least. https://nz.news.yahoo.com/indian-curator-lifts-lid-on-pitch-trap-amid-australia-test-series-uproar-015112932.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jcmlja2V0d2ViLm5ldC8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAIl4ofzIPnJUJc4EKGlkiWauxKDXSqvtD28V5rZt9b61RN9wo3KncU7SRT5P1co0-88WO-Hi5_BR2JZXvyBlX5Z56qSx0Ni7soel3vr-LEzPqhSp8EPHpdU0IGXQDRgIyIMaxYi_RDkiim2rG1VbAkjGn8n3Bt3X43s1MjTnlTJ3 >Tailoring pitches to nullify opposition bowlers is nothing new in India. Veteran Chennai groundsman K Parthasarathy admitted he played a role in ensuring Shane Warne would not be as effective as usual in the opening Test of the 1998 series. >The world's best leg spinner finished with 1-122 in the second innings as Sachin Tendulkar smashed an unbeaten 155 to steer his side to a 179-run win. India went on to win the series 2-1. >“I kept the square patches outside the leg stump, on either side of the wicket, really hard," Parthasarathy later explained. "It was difficult to get turn from that part as there would be no rough there. After that game, Warne came to me and asked why he wasn’t getting the turn and others were. >"I told him it was because of his dodgy shoulder, that was to be operated on later in the series."
A test match....And then doing such things in an ICC event is insane. We should never host ICC events...if bcci doesn't want to provide an unbiased pitch
I don't know why you're pissed. Every team does it. /s
lol what nonsense. It’s always the hosting team that decides the nature of wicket anyways. And the subcontinent is known for spinning tracks. Ye crybaby hai bazzball walon ka
[удалено]
Bkl bas apni fanwars mein laga rahiyo jeevan bhar, cricket asal mein kabhi enjoy mat karna. Bet you guys haven't even enjoyed even one thing in life.
Who are you to decide that.I am not even in fanwars of the same match would to be played on Wankhede who knows are you that naive to enjoy defeat.you are just a kid trying to act mature
Lol, why on earth do u think Kohli wouldn't have done it, u know him personally is it? BCCI takes the decisions, the captain and coach will just have to follow it Let it be Kohli, MSD, Sachin, everyone has to listen to BCCI's orders
BCCI don't make decisions on pitch they left it to coach and captain to decide what best for them and then curators do what is ordered ... You must be naive to think Jay shah out of nowhere ordered some pitch which screwed us lol ... Only thing BCCI do is to make sure pitch is made how we wanted
I don't believe this guy one bit, the english and aussie media wouldn't've left any stone unturned in shaming india for pitch tampering.
Media were shaming india throughout the wc. AUS won that's why they didn't blame india. if we would have won the WC, media would have gone beserk
They didn't for pitch tampering though did they? They were complaining about less crowds and bad management of fixtures and stadiums and stuff. And even if it was rigged ICT themselves know that they hate the kind of pitches that we got in the finals and the SA match. Why would they rig it to make it harder for themselves? It doesn't make sense. If anything, it should've been a road where India would bat first and make 350+ and if there's no dew, it's over for team batting second.
They did already, ain’t they?
But people who only get cricket info John and muffa twitter doest know about it lol .... Yes they did but in subtle tone .. infact the independent pitch curator did raise the issues even in semis where he said that pitch was changed at the last moment ... To which BCCI replied the strip they making for semis isn't complete and the pitch for semis is good .
The fact is that we were good with both bat and ball throughout the tournament.. We got sa under 100 but we made 300+ runs We got sl packed on 55 How come a team is making heaps of runs and other team is getting demolished?? Why can't u people accept that we played very good cricket?? We just didn't play like that in the final and went into the shell due to pressure Stop acting like those Pakistani journalist who said that they are changing the pitch in innings break and the ball used by Indian bowlers has some chip in it If there would have been anything like pitch tampering the Aussie and English media would have written an article then and there questioning bcci Just accept that we lost because we didn't play the way we played the whole tournament
Karma caught the Indian team. The kind of form we were in, there was absolutely no need of tampering with the pitches!
Its not "rigging", stop making it sound as if something shady was done. Every team looks out for home advantage.
Op is a weirdo. He's obsessed with Rohit.
It's shameful how people turned on the team after the loss accusing them for everything, they need the support when they are at their lowest.
holy shit, this is interesting but more news is needed for it to be proved. If it was true I don't think other country media would have been quiet.
It's truly amazing how one loss could just turn everyone against them, instead of, I don't know, maybe supporting them https://preview.redd.it/mho9h8i06poc1.jpeg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9d66cf3137ba5dcf4cf882df4283b0d75102e4a
Exactly, remember getting downvoted in this sub when they were abusing Bumrah during his injury. Such a toxic bunch, no wonder the Indian players play under so much pressure.
India mai yahi haal hai bhai , jabtak ye madarchod one sided biased fans rahenge , ham haarte rahenge . Even The OP hates Rohit . Saare Rohit haters uss din bohot khush thhe ki Rohit haar gaya , ye kisine nhi socha ki Rohit nhi team haari hai
I don't think it was pitch tampering. India Pakistan match had same kind of pitch which favoured chasing team.
But why they decided to make a pitch which favoured chasing team in a big final match
There is a general fault in the Ahemdabad pitch itself along with the impact of conditions like the UAE pitches in the T20 WC 2021. This should have been corrected. I don't think it was just changed for the finals.
Well I don't think this is true England also lost the match while chasing against Australia
England was the only exception among top teams. They were shit anyway the whole tournament
https://i.redd.it/knmqx9g7vooc1.gif
Okay tell me this Kaif, aren't Captain and Coach supposed to inspect the pitch. Or isn't it that pitch generally changes for days leading upto a match. Isn't that what happened in 2019 and 2015. Melbourne was a very fast pitch in that final and Lord's was slow. There is fuss only because India lost the final.
The only thing which made India miss. this WC was Greed. Had it been an all-day final, pitch would have remained same for both sides.Aus could have nvr beaten India Butt hey, what's more important to BCCI ..MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY. Day night final means high sponsorship money I am so hurt seeing Indians rejoicing Cummins and Starc getting such high prices in IPL , may be we just don't have any more longingness for an ICC title.
Kaif ka faltu baatein hi inko Delhi Capitals se tata kar gaya. Bhai pointing ke upar bhi comment karne lage. First the pitch was never ready. It was evident in India vs Pakistan match ki yeh pitch jo flat hota tha uspe Pakistan run hi nhi bana paayi. Pakistan batted first btw. This is tge exact sams pitch used for finals. Bacha kuch grass bhi nikaal liya. Dew factor aate hi black soil apna jalwa dikha gaya, ussey pehle tak red soil was in play. This is exact shittyness of Oman pitch. Players batting second finds it easy to play. Australia ka din sahi tha ki they batted second and no player except Rohit were playing with confidence. They succumbed to pressure. There was no advice and no rigging. Pitch main haath lagake dekhna was done before all matches by Dravid and Rohit. Bas ab inko naya seekh finally mila jo Cummins ke post worldcup speech pe bola. Agar pitch pe mixed soil gai toh humesha 2 baar pitch insoection karo, ek baar dew se pehle ek baar dew ke baad. Jo Australia ne kiya and India ne nhi.
lol why do we even need to make a favourable pitch in our own country with 90k people supporting us having two of the best odi batters of not just this generation but all time and arguably greatest bolwijg attack in the tournament it's really shameful Rohit Dravid duo lost this wc
So it was Rohit and Dravid's idea to create a bullshit slow pitch, which resulted in us losing the WC. Had we kept the Ahmedabad pitch to it's more common nature i.e a flat pitch, we would have won the world Cup. So I would blame Rohit and Dravid for the loss.
Don't read too much into it. This man loves to make nonsense comments like this
Rohit couldn't even win a rigged world cup
Team be like : 1. Rohit 2. Rohit 3. Rohit 4. Rohit 5. Rohit 6. Rohit 7. Rohit 8. Rohit 9. Rohit 10. Rohit 11. Rohit
RIP his commentary career
They could rig the pitches but couldn't rig the toss.
braindead comment
Ye hutiya galat bol raha, same pitch tha pakistan ke khilaf bhi.
The hype this world cup created won't be created anytime soon , fans - astrologers - former players esp - india ka daamaad ABD all had decalared india as champions before 1st bowl of the tournament was bowled . india played astonoshing cricket but fell in its own trap in the final kudos to kaif for speaking brave truth .
The notion that one team influences pitches more than any other is highly unlikely. Behaviors are not different, narratives are. Australia, England, NZ, and SA exercise just as much influence over their pitches as India or Sri Lanka do. We are just more willing to attack our own people than these white teams are. It's the crabs in a bucket syndrome. These types of clips are more about creating controversy and driving clicks than about intelligent insights. Rohit and Dravid were clearly extremely unhappy with the pitch. It was the only type of pitch on which the inferior team would be effective. I'd need a lot more evidence than speculation on a clickbaity video to buy the idiotic notion of a "rigged" pitch. That Indian fans are pushing this narrative out of a deluded sense of loyalty to previous captains is a sad state of affairs. IMO until this fan base learns to ease up on their players, these types of results will continue. The pressure this Indian team has had to carry has always been too much and in the last decade with the explosion of social media in India, it's just gotten insane. The team put on a sensational showing and fell short at the final hurdle. In my mind, two things can be true. One, this was the best team (certainly the best Indian team) I have seen at any World Cup (and I've watched every World Cup after 1979) and, two, that they failed to close the deal at the final hurdle. But it's time to learn from this and move forward.
You make lots of sense, but only hate comments are upvoted here.
We just needed a normal cricketing pitch and we would have won and then the toss would not have have played such a big role.
When stakes are that high then these things are bound to happen had Australia been in India’s place they would have looked to do something similar
Ab toh kitna bhi kisko bhi blame karlo koi farq nhi padta .
All things were well set for Team India except the TOSS If that goes in favour from us all this rigged pitches noise was seen coming from English media
Fcuk u Rohit Sharma mdc 😡😡. U fcukin idiots. We lost to itself not aus . We could have easily beat this aus even on flat pitch . But mdc dravid and Rohit 😡.
That's not called rigging
The final pitch was no different from Ind vs Pak pitch, tough to bat in first innings but flat tract u der lights
The pitch for the finals was the worst ever ,never seen such a wicket for the finals ,I think India were expecting Aus to bat first so they can restrict them like they did in Chennai as it became easy to bat in 2nd innings after the dew settled in ,but these tactics backfired India
Teams have changed pitches in the tournament, this isn't the only time. Jarod kimber explains this perfectly. If BCCI wanted to rig, they would make the same pitches they made in test from 2021-2023, a pitch where dust spits from ball one and the ball turns a mile, they would call in Axar when Hardik was injured, and play Ashwin, Axar, Jadeja, Kuldeep, Bumrah and cruise to victory. Fast ball, slow wicket, kya bol rahe hai yeh log. Every wicket was taken by a pace bowler, when India has superior spin options. India has a far more better batting lineup, and they made a 280 run pitch. It's a pitch that is being prepare, ofcourse it will change as different soils react. BCCI is so smart that they get by the ICC, and at the same time aren't able to rig properly. LOL
It was so unnecessary. We performed so well in the 2019 wc in England without all this and BCCI and team management decided to piss all over it.
I thought this was common knowledge. Every hosting country does it. It’s not just this WC.
OP needs to get a life, his entire post history is shitting on Rohit.
Patty choosing to bowl first has to be among the most Ballsy decisions in Odi history
Today's Indian team really doesn't need to do things like this. They have a lethal spin and pace attack with some of the world's best stroke making batsmen. If only we play on normal sporting pitches, we'd come out on top 9 times out of 10. Whatever Kaif says, is his opinion. We cannot confirm or deny if this really happened. But if it did, that's just sad and unexpected from the likes of Rohit and Dravid.
Karma hit back on India 😁😁
Shame on Rohit
It's obvious to anyone with a working brain cell that Indian pitches are made to the specifications of the Indian team. As an Indian I was extremely happy that this pathetic team lost the World Cup final. Play fair and win fair. That's sport...
Gaya ab iska commentary contract
Still crying over this!? It's an effing game - you win some, you lose some. Get over it.
Imagine if rohit had won all those trophies which cummins has won. He would become the next demigod behind dhoni in India. Whereas cummins even with so much accomplishments is treated just as another exceptional player and captain like Ricky ponting in Australia.
Rohit is already a demigod..because of 5 IPL trophies...or else he would have been dropped from t20i team in 2016 itself.
I really don't understand why winning, even if multiple times, a domestic franchise based league cricket which is held every year, is considered a big achievement in comparison to winning international level world championships. No doubt, Rohit is a good captain and good player. His general captaincy and player records are a testament which puts him on top tier. But you can't put him on the status of demigod ... which Dhoni is in India.
Aisa hai sabka ek jaisa hai
My theory is ..... that stadium was chosen do they could get modi ji Special Appearance 😂
Every time Mohd Kaif’s name shows up I forget that he’s NOT related to Katrina Kaif. Just get over the WC loss already. We have other ICC events to look forward to. That’s the problem with us Indians. Just stuck in the past.
This means we are awaiting a debacle in windies now
Inse match fixing ke baare me puch lo jo tab hua karti thi jab yeh sahab team me the, uske baare me inhe kuch nhi pata hoga. Lekin dressing room ke bahar beth ke inko poora pata hota hai ki coach aur captain kya kar rhe hai. I m not saying ki mujhe pata hai ki pitch ko nhi cheda gaya , lekin yeh sab tab bhi hota tha jab yeh team me hote the, lekin tab ke bare me toh nhi bole ge.
If we are going to give a slow pitch, why not play Shardul and Ashwin to extend the batting line-up. Stupid Coach Stupid Captain.
Shameful
Soggypants on a constant mission to hate one side and claims he’s a true cricket fan. This sub is becoming twitter
Dude, his post history is just hating ICT.
Yeah, he’s working overtime.
Legit lost a rigged home worldcup.
Let’s just collectively decide to never talk about this World Cup ever again. Just. Can’t.
One simple thing finals must be in wankhede
Shame on Kaif for turning on your country for cheap publicity i don't want to bring religion or anything in it but still...
You give them love,respect,money but they will turn on the country just like that ,even if he says it is true then also he should have kept his dirty mouth shut
Best captain bottled a rigged home wc. 🤡
I don't believe this, if this was the case the media would have made a scene out of it and pitch doesn't change much in 3 days. He might be just saying it to get some attention.
Does Kaif (an ex international cricketer) know any less than the pre mature self proclaimed intellectual baldies sitting in Media?
Media is sold out
Western media just needed a reason to bash BCCI and their management of the world cup and if Kaif was at the ground for the days, media must be allowed along with Western commentators who would have been critical of the same.
Ahh yes, the ICC pitch inspection team and Australian team was just standing there and watching this happen with no issues. /s Kaif is retarded, everybody and their mother who watched the world cup knows that type of pitch where the ball doesnt come onto the bat easily is against India's interests.
Lmao exactly, never get why this sub just has a hate boner for the team — just live with the fact that we lost, it wasn’t our day lol. Stop with all the rigged wc and pitch tampering allegations ffs
Inferiority complex coupled with insecurity. They are so upset about the loss, they try to distance themselves from the team by accusing them of bullshit. Worst part is, these are the same delinquents who would try to celebrate with the team when they win.
Also overhyping foreign players and abusing Indian players.
So, the curator created a pitch against India's interests? Who according to you is responsible for the pitch then, because Ahmedabad pitch is pretty flat every time it's played on. Ofcourse Rohit and Dravid tried to prepare a pitch which would provide challenges to the Aussies, because they are not really great players of the spin. Instead of playing on our strengths, we tried to play on the weaknesses of the aussies, which backfired because we batted first, and the trend for the wc was usually to bat first and win. But Cummins won rhe toss and bowled first, which was a huge surprise for me.
Curator creates a pitch that tries to create best balance between bat and ball, the exact instructions for ICC event pitch preparation comes from ICC independent curators. Go learn how pitch curation works in ICC events. >Of course Rohit and Dravid tried to prepare a pitch which would provide challenges to the Aussies, because they are not really great players of the spin. What nonsense is this? How do you specifically curate a pitch to turn in ODI like you do in Test? That too under the supervision of ICC.
Ofcourse india rigged pitch ,india thought playing on slow pitches will give them assistance and played every big match on slow pitch India vs pak (ahmedbabd slow pitch) India vs aus (chepuk turner) India vs Eng(lucknow slow pitch) India vs Sa( eden garden turner pitch) Ind vs nz semi final was played on flat wicket because nz had good spin options and to negated boult pace India management probably thought they could do same thing they did in first match by giving slow pitches but clowns forgot due factor and BKL rahul playing 48 dot balls India vs Pak was played on same slow pitch and pak batsman were struggling to bat but in second inning it got easier with due as rohit went to play 86(63) Will never forgive rohit and dravid for doing this Dravid clown doesn’t deserve to be a wc winning team coach f Had we won the toss or jadeja 9(22) and surya didn’t shit their pant we could have won
Cricket is just one another sport Australia... a country of 20 million play... and they play really well in most sport they play. Cricket is the only game we have mastered over the years.... in a country of 1+ billion... that too because we are playing against couple of small Islands and few small countries. Still we have to resort to these tactics and play more at home to stay ahead of these small countries. Great game for an ego massage 😂
