ODI World Cup

Always the same. Look at how they responded to being beaten in Chennai in 2021.

Or When Swann and Panesar ripped through them in 2012, they haven't let anyone get a sniff since by negating their pitches.

India have won 10 out of 10 games, I will just repeat that 10 out of 10.

The brand of cricket they have played in this tournament has been both entertaining and skillful and they have been miles and miles ahead of any other team in terms of quality of play.

In fact I am struggling to remember any other team in any sport nevermind just cricket dominating a major tournament as much as India have in this one.

Any chance giving them any credit for that anyone??

Absolutely... Still can't bear to watch them though ;) some of their players take it way too seriously.

Nope.

Imagine being so afraid of losing you cheat even when you have one of the best teams in the world.

I do think mind the Indian cricketers on the field this tournament have been nothing short of superb.

So whatever people think of the Indian board or Indian fans.

Don’t think we should lose sight this team now won 10 games in a row with a brilliant brand of cricket and credit where credit due.

Do you think bowling Kohli, Sharma and Gill to take the piss out of the Dutch was superb?

'brilliant brand'

Don't think the Netherlands see it that way..

Zero class...
 
India are absolutely sensational as a team but there are a few things getting on my nerves about them.

The fans in the ground are acting like fans of India not fans of cricket.

Kohli to me sets a terrible example as a leader and a captain when he seems more interested in his own score and average than the total of his team. Omarzai of Afghanistan on the other hand was totally selfless batting for his 97 against SA and showed how it should be done.

Pretty shocking if correct that the ICC Pitch Consultant wasnt even aware of the changes given that its his job to set the pitches for games.

This action plus the bowling against Netherlands combined are showing a really unatractive level of arrogance from India right now.

Would be hilarious if they were banned for interfering and going against ICC rules but it wont happen. Regardless, I'd like to see them lose because I think they need bringing down a peg or two.
 
When you see all those Indian fans in the ground with India ODI tops on, the vast majority are snide ones like sold outside the ground for a tenner (or less if you can be arsed to haggle). I was gonna get a "Butler" England one for my missus cos she wouldn't have been any the wiser but the bloke didn't have any left.

India give themselves all the credit they need and more. If they were a human they’d be Marilyn Manson piping themselves off 24/7.

They don’t need credit off anyone else.

Well yeah of course they is a lot of things people rightly don’t like about them, but this tournament they have utterly dominated with quality cricket that cannot be disputed
