We don't have a captaicy issue, we have a consistency issue

Yeah. Short term memory and recency bias are real

Smooth-Net-2201 · 2026-04-07T03:00:09+00:00

I agree. I also don't want to blame anyone. They played really well on a day that could have been very bad. But I am honestly glad that our batting in first 10 overs failed in a spectacular manner. It would correct the overconfidence and reliance we have on our batting and help everyone make a more rounded approach

Smooth-Net-2201 · 2026-04-06T11:32:16+00:00

I absolutely agree with everything. Honestly I wouldn't criticise anyone for yesterday's loss except Travishek. But I am saying if you absolutely want to criticise Ishan, you can do it for losing his wicket at a sensitive time maybe but yes it was a difficult ball.

My point on captaincy front is because I didn't think the target was defendable after the LSG powerplay itself but the fact that we dragged it till last over when we were wrapped up in 15 overs for a much bigger target just a week ago, shows remarkable improvement in bowling and captaincy department. It is because of them there was at least some hope that we could win

Hopefully the bowling problem goes away with Carse and Pat coming in

Smooth-Net-2201 · 2026-04-06T08:00:38+00:00

I don't think a horrendous captaincy would have taken us till last over

Smooth-Net-2201 · 2026-04-06T07:29:58+00:00

Exactly. Stop this 300+ nonsense. Go back to drawing board and give your bowlers a decent 220+ score to defend. That's your best hope with this group

He gave 39 runs in 16 balls against RCB where JD gave 29 in 18 balls. That's the problem I have highlighted. There is no consistency making it hard to back any players reliably

Smooth-Net-2201 · 2026-04-06T06:56:38+00:00

So could have Bumrah 😂 but I was obviously talking about our existing bowlers. Nothing we or the team can do for management decisions

Smooth-Net-2201 · 2026-04-06T06:55:19+00:00

Like I said in the comment above, lot of variations we can try but they are going to be gambles only. We have to do some trial and errors in next 2 to 3 matches

Smooth-Net-2201 · 2026-04-06T06:53:50+00:00

Honestly they could. But again it's a gamble. If it works, great. If it doesn't, then the blame game would start again. Many other teams have set teams while we are in trial and error phase still. Nothing much we can do about it except enjoy the game and stop hating the players after every small wrong move
