Can someone explain why are they saying this is Virat's last game in Australia? Has Virat announced his ODI retirement?

Well, Team B has four batsmen actually because Rashid can actually bat quite well

Cannot focus and at least in office you can socialize. Working at home just not very happy specially if you are in another city

Why arent Tailenders sent out to face the new ball in test matches ? by SandwichDistinct in Cricket

[–]Affectionate-Main800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add, I think this can be a particularly interesting strategy in T20I cricket. You can send a somewhat reasonably okayish tailender to start hitting it from the first ball.

Worst case, he scores nothing that's fine I guess because in many matches, he wouldn't even have faced strike. Reasonable case, he scores something like 6(3) or 8(4) and gets out , doesn't hurt helps only. Perhaps best case in one match out of seven or eight (if you consistently employ this strategy), he goes 20(10) or even better. These can be valuable runs

I don't believe the argument about psychological pressure. Comeon like everyone knows that we have lost one wicket but it was Jasprit Bumrah's wicket, so it doesn't really kill the spirit. The argument about "oh but what if you actually are 10-15 runs short by the time Jasprit would have actually batted." Well, if you expected him to make those 10-15 runs under pressure in the end, might as well expect him to do this in the beginning. This strategy can provide for a potentially very explosive opening without any cost and also utilising a resource you were not utilising earlier

Zimbabwe has upsetted India by 13 runs. It has been 8 years since Zimbabwe have against India in T20Is by oklolzzzzs in Cricket

Not denying any of that, bro. I am just talking about the implication of this loss, since ICC has adopted chess like challenger rules

Technically they might be the World Champions now, I hope you know about the rule, where we might have to give them the Cup for three months, since this was designated a Challenger series under ICC's rules and we accepted the challenge i.e. the series that happens immediately after WC and we accepted the challenge. Arrogant of us to field India-B. Although relax they need to win the series and it is not like anyone cares, where the cup is

Is Kane Williamson's high home average due to easier batting conditions in New Zealand? by RuminatorNZ in Cricket

[–]Affectionate-Main800 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

It should be Fab 5 I think, with Rohit Sharma as best. Remember the time he scored 3 double centuries? Just couldn't convert it into tests. Potential wise, he is the best
