ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Nanga Parbat]

Another high scoring game but this time its WIndies who won the game. Shai Hope remained not out on 162 runs and due to his superb knock WIndies was able to chase the target. From India side, KL Rahul scored 129 runs and Rohit Sharma got out for 92 runs. In all three matches of this series we saw team batting second won the match, no matter how high is the target. WIndies have already lost the series but today's victory means  series ended with 2-1 result. Its good for WIindes to play such exciting cricket just before the start of ODI world cup.  

This match is a big success for West Indies that they have managed to defeat a strong team in their competition, but India will still victory this series. If West Indies had brought such strength in the first matches, they would have had even more success and advantage. Indian batsmen had given a strong target, which the West Indies batsmen had to achieve by scoring 352 runs in 48 overs and victory. India tried hard and their bowlers could take only 5 wickets, after which West Indies had crossed this victory. This result has increased the strength of West Indies a little and now they should be even good with hard work and effort so that they can win not only matches but also series against such strong teams. Now from here they will have more interest and their strength can support them in the World Cup.

The West Indies and India teams fought hard for the win in the match where both the teams made a lot of changes in their game, the great performance of the Indian team in the last minute which helped them to win and they won the series. However, the extraordinary batting performance of the batsmen of both the teams was really interesting. The batsmen of the West Indies team, John Campbell scored 101 runs in 68 balls, Shai Hope scored 104 runs in 94 balls and Amir Jangoo scored 114 runs in 77 balls each. The West Indies team gave the Indian team a huge target of 405 runs, so they were very hopeful of winning themselves and equalizing the series but the Indian batsmen turned the whole match upside down. The Indian team's opening batsman Rohit Sharma made a great partnership with him scoring 101 runs for 75 runs, and Shubman Gill scored 223 runs in 133 balls, both of them performed very well and they won easily.  India achieved the target set by West Indies and were able to win the series by a huge margin of 8 wickets for the loss of 2 wickets.

Yeah, definitely this inning was incredible every moment was enjoy able from both teams. West Indies team players deliverd outstanding batting and gave a huge total for chasing. 400 + total was very big so this was challenging to Indian team but Indian team made plan and execute it properly with great mindset and batting performance.  Shubman Gill and Rahul Sharma built outstanding partnership. I think this partnership was historical partnership in cricket history and ODI series so, we can say that West Indies team batted brilliant but in bowling side they showed poor performance and couldn't tackle this big total through bowling. So the credit goes to Indian team who performed outstanding performance and faced a big total woth bravery and won the match with a great victory.

The West Indies had an outstanding comeback in the last ODI game, and they showed that they have the ability to defeat a big team at their home ground, but even with that, India won the series. India's flat pitches and short boundaries often lead to a lot of hitting during matches. India players Rohit Sharma was so good tonight with 90 plus runs, but the actual performer for tonight was KL Rahul, who made a huge knock with a well-deserved century, and at the end of the innings, India set a huge target of 352 runs.

 It's a giant target, but according to situations, it's not enough to win the game because in the previous game, 400-plus runs were chased by Indian teams. WI came with a strong mindset, especially since Shai Hope played one of the most historic knocks of 162 runs and remains undefeatable. Also, Amir Janghoo showed good effort, and the West Indies easily chased the target, but India won the series with 2-1.

The management has given a decent amount of opportunity to Nitish Kumar Reddy, but he is yet to fulfill his potential; there is no way he could be a replacement for a fit Hardik Pandya. Strangely, the team has rested Jadeja for this game. He might not be getting wickets like he used to, but he is still an asset in the field and with the bat.

Regarding the bowling department, the management does not want to include Mohammed Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Despite their age, they are still the best bowlers India has, and if you include Bumrah, we would have the best bowling unit in South Africa. However, the management has other ideas.
Edit:

Gill is one of the best batsmen in the world, but not the best captain. I was perplexed when he did not give the final two overs to the strike bowler Mohammed Siraj and lost the match.

Jadeja might come back soon, we have plenty of ODIs before the next wc kicks in.

Shami probably have outside chance in ODI but as far as Bhuvi is concerned, after 2022 management has moved on from him in ODI so I'm pretty sure he isn't making any comeback.

The management is experimenting with the team composition, but replacing Jadeja changed the complete structure on a pitch like this. The problem is that I placed a bet on the match. When the team was announced, I was disappointed, but I still had hope that India could win. However, the way Gill captained the side and rotated the bowlers was just pathetic. Even during the crucial moments, he never gave the ball to Mohammed Siraj. It felt like he was trying to pull off the Dhoni magic—I have no idea what he was thinking.

With the way the management is handling things, in the end, they will end up with Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, and Mohammed Siraj as the fast bowlers. But for me personally, with the way Shami performed recently in domestic matches, he should be in the team.

Honestly, not everyone has a good performance all the time, sometimes no matter how hard the players try, they cannot perform well. Jadeja is undoubtedly one of the best all-rounders in the Indian cricket team. His return will strengthen the Indian team and give it confidence. Yes, I have seen Bhuvneshwar Kumar out of the team for a long time, perhaps he is not able to bowl with the line length like before. And Mohammed Shami was also showing great performance in the last match he played and came out of the team.

Doing changes now is the right decision even if things are not pretty clear because a few changes are confusing, but they have 1 year with enough matches on their way for preparing. It's going to be an interesting time because Gill also needs more time for having good tactics as captain of the Indian team; currently he is under pressure and does not have things in his favor despite having good performance.
Enough bowling options but still they are not having good combo is also surprising here I agreed about at the end they will be go with their options like Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Prasidh Krichna because they are having better consistency and use of conditions others are relative have no enough depth which needed in SENA countries sometime Indian bowlers play like crap because batting have enough runs on board but bowlers again let them down its worst.

India already won the odi series against West Indies but the third odi match was truly amazing where i didn't expected WI to win the match. India batting line was good enough where opener Rohit and KL rahul managed to set a big target to challenge their opponent. But when WI started batting, the environment had changed cause they played incredible match and never gave up. Shai Hope was the main hitting machine of the match whee his brilliant role in the the victory can't be denied. Indian may won the series but WI won people's heart as they defeated stronger team like India and gave fans strong suprise before the series end

Also, Amir Janghoo showed good effort, and the West Indies easily chased the target, but India won the series with 2-1.

IND has a power to defeat all teams of the World but that was a home ground of West Indies and West Indies bowling lineup is poor which was a reason they lose last match otherwise they could easily win second match in which they made a 405 target and I think they did not make that kind of big target and Shubman played excellent double century of his career because West Indies have no excellent bowlers and their main goal is batting and batting is a  part of strategy but not enough to win the match because fielding and bowling is necessary if you made a good target on the board. IND had no fear to chase 406 and they easily chased in 43 overs and West Indies did second batting in the second match and they easily won next match. West Indies is not suitable to win the next World cup because they need big spinners and pacers.

[Mask.x]

Mark your calendar’s the World Cup 2027 is going from 2 October to 21 November the world marches are very enjoyable as compared to other matches but now one year left to the coming World Cup.

Let's be honest, this series was only for the batters so it's not like Jadeja would've done something special on an absolute road where 350 was average score, despite being a GOAT allrounder.

Both announced squad against windies or Asian games had a same problem. Batting was stack but bowling resources looked thin and at times mediocre.

As far as Gill's odi leadership is concerned. I mean he do have Rohit and kohli as consultant so he should take full advantage.

I doubt that about Shubman Gill. You can either be a tactically good captain just like MSD or Ganguly from the start—they had that tactical brain to take an average team to challenge the best teams during that period—and here is Shubman Gill, who has the complete team but is yet struggling to make tactical changes during the match and ends up losing.

The only reason is, I want to see Ravindra Jadeja get an ODI century before retirement. He came close to scoring a century earlier but missed out, and these are the perfect pitches if they allow him to bat higher up. 

As far as Gill's odi leadership is concerned. I mean he do have Rohit and kohli as consultant so he should take full advantage.

In the third ODI, both Rohit and Kohli were in the team. Yet, if it had been Kohli or Rohit's decision, they would have given the 48th over to Mohammed Siraj, and yet he never got the ball during that crucial period when the match was on the line.

A interesting match is going on between UAE and USA, and the situation is quite interesting, UAE players are performing excellent. UAE batsman looks confident today as their openers played very vigilantly. The most admirable thing of the whole team today is that they are very much focused on saving the wickets. Their approach to moving towards lifting the target creates little tension for the USA. Muhammad Shahdad is standout players, continuously fighting for the runs. USA bowlers found difficult to collect his wicket. UAE's total score will be challenging for the USA. However as USA wait for their turn to bat, results is uncertain they could defend aggressively for the win. Because they have also good batsman who can put the rival in tension. Or USA players performance depends upon the bowling strategies of UAE, now the game results is largely depend upon the UAE bowlers. Although they have built up strong target, but any negligence of players could cost them the match.

Gill does fumble here n there but don't think there's much to read in this odi series.

Every decision looks bad on skipper when you lose and we can't deny the fact that there was virtually no help for the bowlers. Yeah in hindsight they could've bowled siraj out but one could also make argument that they wanted to expose new bowler into tough situation because such pressure situation does teach a lot to players.

Because the captain has to add new things from the beginning of the game to the end and explain to every player and even after that if the wins is not achieved according to his thinking, he becomes unhappy with every decision he makes. The captain plays very role playing because the entire team and the field play on his morale and decision. If he too cannot make the right decision, then the position of the next captain is also changed. The new bowler always plays with new thinking because he may have everything that experienced players do not have. Therefore, if you play the new player as you wish, he will soon get scared of your words, so you should let him play some games with his ability.

There is no doubt that the United Arab Emirates put up an excellent batting performance, but their bowlers are proving ineffective in stopping the USA. The USA won the match quite easily, chasing down the target for the loss of just four wickets; a target exceeding 300 is usually considered very formidable. Milind Kumar batting is wonderful to watch scoring a well-deserved century and remaining unbeaten throughout the match. The disappointing aspect for the UAE is that their bowlers are failing to defend even the largest of targets; there is a need to make changes to the main bowling lineup. After winning in the USA, they have moved to the top position on the points table while UAE is in the bottom position on the points table.

There is no doubt that United Emirates Arab presented a very strong target to United State of America but United Emirates Arab did not  a great job with batting as well as bowling because the batsmen performed their duties well but the bowlers let this match go because they could neither trouble the United State of Arab batsmen nor take many wickets.The reason for the falling wickets of United Emirates Arab was Harmeet Singh who took 4 important wickets for United State of Arab and kept the scorecard in control.Anyway United Emirates Arab defeat was certain because they are the weakest and most defeatable team in this league and United State of America has left everyone behind so far.Lets see if Scottland maintains this position or United State of America

After long wait, ICC Men Cricket World Cup League 2 competition is live again. Total 12 matches will be played in this round from 3 Oct to 19 Oct. Two matches have already been played and both finished without any interruption. Third match will be played tomorrow amomg USA squad and NAM squad.

Yesterday, we saw high scoring and tough match among USA squad and UAE squad. No doubt UAE squad batting side collected good scores and target of 330 scores was quite big but they failed to defend it and lost match. Harmeet Singh support with bowl was very crucial as he picked up 4 wicket. I really enjoyed watching bat of Shubham Ranjane and Milind Kumar as well as their partnership. Both batters managed to collect 57 and 116 scores respectively and helped turn match in USA favor. In end, USA squad managed to defeat UAE squad by 6 wicket with 7 deliveries remaining.

The most interesting thing about this league is that it has become enough big and now this league will be completed to some extent with some matches.  In this league, a good competition was seen in the match between USA and UAE, which has increased the interest in watching the match.  USA batsmen achieved this target with good performance while UAE was also given a strong target of 330 for their victory, which did not seem that UAE could not be defeated in this match, but USA's strength made this match successful.  Batsmen of both teams tried to score maximum runs with good performance and created problems for each other.  This is a big disappointment for the UAE because even after such a big target, they lost.  USA's good success is also seen in the match between USA and Namibia because how strong Namibia will play in this match.

Shami probably have outside chance in ODI but as far as Bhuvi is concerned, after 2022 management has moved on from him in ODI so I'm pretty sure he isn't making any comeback.

There is a surprising announcement from the new selection committee; they have recalled Bhuvneshwar Kumar back into the team after a four-year exile for the New Zealand tour. This is really great news, and hopefully, it could pave the way for his return to ODIs as well if he stays healthy and performs whenever he gets the opportunity.

After the exit of Ajit Agarkar, I had hopes of Bhuvi and Shami making a comeback. These spots should be completely merit-based, depending on how they perform, and not judged according to their age. We currently have an interim selection committee; let's see how long it will last and whether the BCCI will make the same members permanent.
