He first has to prove he is not a chucker. He can get tested and clear all doubts.

Bumrah is in the same category as Trent Boult and Southee. Nothing more. :inti

This match shows how presence of one tuk tuker can completely hurt the team. INdia played like they played last year.

You need at least one tuk tuker to prevent collapse and for safety. Although a FTB in Test, I don't really see anything wrong with Gill in T20. His Stats are still solid for T20s. I never thought of Markam as a T20 batsmen either, but his stats are also quite good for T20s.

You won't see 230+ scores in a big tournament often.

In a World Cup, South Africa can beat the living daylight out of India (just like they did in the recent Test series). :inti

South Africa generally do not field their full teams during bilateral LOI games. Rabada was missing today, for example.

He is the reason why INdia collapses because Abhishek can have off days. SOmeone at other end has to draw the attention away from him. There is no need of tuk tuker.

Shakib al hasan banned for chucking in county lol Real chuckers are from bangladesh.

He said he was purposefully chucking during county lol. He was cleared of suspect bowling action now though.

I absolutely think Axar Patel should get tested though. I always feel there is too much bent with his action, similar to Mitchell Santner especially during T20 bowling.
 
Sweepy Bangla

He's forgotten India pounded SA in a WC final as recent as last year in the format this thread's about.

It was not out clearly. There was a clear gap between bat and ball.

Bat seemed to have hit the pitch.

Umpires often give biased decisions in favor of India (particularly during big tournaments). Cricket has turned into a complete farce due to Indians. :inti

During 2024 World T20 final, David Miller played a shot in the final over. That was most likely a six. Umpire gave it out. I guess umpire didn't want to get death threats from the extremist sanghis.

During 2022 World T20, Kohli also influenced an umpire's decision against Pakistan. It turned out to be decisive.

Just two examples I can think of. There are more examples of India receiving blatant perks. :inti

As far as I am concerned, India's victories in 2024 World T20 and 2025 CT should have asterisk marks. They won in farcical manners.

It's close call. Also, on field umpire didnt give it out.

That's another good point.

If on-field decision is not-out, it cannot be overturned, unless there is a clear evidence.

In this case, it was clear he didn't hit it. Noise came from somewhere else. :inti

I guess all rules go out of the window when it comes to India.

I think Cricket has come long way from its earlier days of removing howlers or incompetent on field decisions. However, this Snicko/UltraEdge is one area they need to improve for more definitive conclusion. They need to go back to hotspot or something. Either he hit or he didnt...there shouldnt be any speculation whether the spike is from bat hitting the ground or whatever.

India continued its dominant run in home T20I series, sealing a 3–1 victory over South Africa after the fifth and final match in Ahmedabad on Friday.

Half-centuries from Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya powered India to a strong total of 231. Although Quinton de Kock’s aggressive knock kept South Africa in contention, Varun Chakravarthy’s four-wicket spell in the middle overs stalled the chase and secured the win.

This series triumph marked India’s eighth consecutive T20I series win, extending a streak that began after a 1–1 draw in South Africa during the 2023/24 season.

At home, India’s unbeaten run is even more impressive, stretching back to 2018/19. Their last home series defeat came in a 0–2 loss to Australia, with only two drawn series since then—against South Africa in 2019/20 and in 2022.

What happened in Australia is howler. This is not howler. This is correct.There was minor deflection as well.
 
Another day another Indian win another Bangla whingefest and meltdown ..

speaking of extremists that Sweepy brought up, heard Banglas lynched a Hindu today simply coz he was a Hindu. If Sweepy's Banglas ever become a cricketing powerhouse their fans wont be issuing threats to umpires but lynching and beheading umpires in true Bangla fanaticsim style.

Now Mods dont edit this post till you edit Sweepy's post.

Sweepy or few other on this forum don't represent all BD fans. While it's true some can't fathom IND wins most others are probably apathetic unless it involves BD in a crucial match.

I still remember there was some controversy related to some no ball call with Rohit Sharma during 2015 CWC.
 
Bigot and Hindu phobe he is.

If a Pakistani or a Bangla player or even a Muslim player of any team bar India had caught it, he would have called it the greatest catch ever, that's his reality and how he is wired.

There are two other Bangla posters who have a whinge fest every time India wins a match in a tourney.

Further the now defunct Bangla cricket forum showed deep this hatred of India runs through veins of Bangla cricket followers. You might be an exception to the norm, however Sweepy is a good representation of that Banglas can't digest Indian wins

I represent myself. That's right.

Bangladesh have all sorts of fans. Some fans support Pakistan. Some fans support India. Some fans support Bangladesh only.

As for me, I used to play league cricket myself. So, I am not emotionally attached to any team. I just want to see good cricket. I look at things as an ex-player; not as a fan.

Anyway, I don't like Indian team because of BCCICC and antics of Indian fans. :inti

Good. I am not specifically talking about you. Our take is usually based on our subconscious bias. One reason Aussies win a lot is because they don't whine as much. Good cricket needs to be appreciated.

Samson proving his worth as a keeper batsman.
He should be opening with Abhishek in the T20 WC.

Gill can come in the middle order at 1 or 2 down like Kohli used to do. Jitesh is not needed if he is playing just as a batsman.

Hopefully Surya can be dropped and Jaiswal can be slotted in the lineup.
Click to expand...
Surya's ego is too big. He won't step aside willingly and selectors won't drop him months out of the T20 World Cup. Feel like Gill will hang on to his spot too by playing a few statpadding knocks in meaningless bilaterals
 
South Africa are a better side than this. They were experimenting too much in this series for my liking. Get guys settled in their roles instead of shuffling the batting order every game.

There is no better experiment than gill experiment that INdia is doing. By the way for SA This is not experiment. They had to shuffle the batting order because of steep asking rate. They batted till 9. Something they should have done long back. This is the perfect template for them. Pandya came out of syllabus so the put the score slightly above par. Then Varun C has been posing problems for them for a while. Despite them hitting him they do have issue against him.

Any credible reporting on this ?

Which credible sources will write about the backroom sfuff and risk the rewards with golden goose.I will explain timelines about two pr channels .one is Revzsports, pr for gg and gill led by Boria majumdar.other is Vikram Kumar channel, who is quite close to sky.Both follows the team for every net practice/match. sky gave him an hour long interviews too .Revzsports was the first channel to break about gill inclusion in Asia cup , his vc stint and his absolute "necessity" as opener for stability in this is high risk t20 team.They passionately defended gill's failures too by questioning Samson's/any other openers achievements .Vikram Kumar said Asia cup selection committee decision took more than an additional hour due to decision on gill. He tried to explain sky version that sky wasn't happy with it but gg and agarkar were pushing it.Other channel too accepted Gill's inclusion and elevation as vc was the reason.

I see your point... you have to shuffle batting order sometimes depending on the situation. However at the same time, there are certain positions that shouldn't be switched. For instance, Aiden Markram should ALWAYS be opening the batting with QDK. His numbers at No.2 are quite impressive. Avg: 38, SR 172. So why is he batting at 3 in one game, 4 in the other? Similarly Ferreria is not someone you can send in the middle. He is a very specialized player who plays the finisher role and doesn't have the technique to bat in the middle-overs. Brevis, Miller, Stubbs you can switch around depending on the situation. They should have greater clarity about these things.

Varun.. tbh most teams has an issue against him so I wouldn't be too bothered about that. The disappointing thing for them is giving him those two wickets off two balls, which was just not needed. They managed to score alot of runs off him but him getting 4 wickets meant those 50+ runs didn't mean much, because the damage he did with those four wickets was far greater
 
India deserving winners.

South Africa were good in patches. Batting let them down in a couple of games.

Bowling also was not penetrative enough.

Markram did open at Cuttack. Made 14 off 14. He has so far played only 4 matches besides tha as opener. All 4 against pakistan. His typical spot is 3 or 4. That is not really the issue. They were in good position after 10 overs. 115/1 overs.After that Bumrah and Varun C derailed their chase with quick blows in a short span of time. It is not easy for new player to start hitting from ball one.
 
Why did the umpires change the ball midgame?

Was it that bad?

Saffers must be feeling unlucky there... The whole game changed after that change

Maybe India asked.

Whenever India ask something, umpires generally agree. I guess umpires want to keep their jobs.

Cricket has become a farce.

It's not a rocket science to change the soapy wet ball. Almost happened in every game where there is too much dew. 🤣🤣
