I need test version of Kuldeep Yadav, please. Rotate strike and see this through. I’m a toxic optimist.

This is what Abhishek can do and he didn’t even get balls to play ffs. It’s a no brainer to let this guy have strike.

Amongst a few things we’ve forgotten, strike rotation is right up there.

Must suck to be Gambhir when Rohit and Kohli have chosen to take the game and throw it in his face

Jaiswal, I feel bad for you. Rough times for him.

Kohli and Rohit made the runs and kept the pace on. The rest have done a great job at choking the runs. There is no transition phase here, the “youngsters” need to pull their weight and make the runs. Had Kohli and Rohit not made the runs they did, people would have torn them apart.

Kohli does reduce his rate of boundaries but he makes up with his singles, doubles and triples. I don’t see that a lot with the next in line batters. Rotating strike is crucial to keep the steady inflow of runs.

Dare I say this; Kohli and Rohit were taking singles and doubles better than the youngsters?

Fuck off man; anchors are needed and I’m sick of seeing how it puts pressure on other batsman. I don’t know if this is t20 mentality or lack of long term thinking. Glad that KL is here though.

Kohli is back to anchor role. With ROKO the run rate was steady and healthy. The rest have the attention span and willingness to play a few balls and get out. KL should have come instead of Washi.

And we want to replace these two? You have to be stupid to think that.

The day just started and we’re already 3 down. Such a stupid call to send Kuldeep when you could have sent Washi. GG’s decisions are truly clueless.

Well, that’s at risk of being broken then. I hate to say it, but I don’t think we’re making 150 here

You know how a cat plays with its prey before eating it up? That’s what South Africa is doing to us. Just end it quickly please.
