I’m not so sure multiple sports mind.
Our Olympic performances have been very good the last few now.

Anyone's multiple sports compared with India. How do they get on in Olympics BTW? Or Footy? Or any other sport other than cricket?

I'm apologise for posting something random and slightly off topic. Not that I'm bitter about bcci or nowt like 🤣

India should win this, but it's to be expected given they were able to pack their squad full of spinners for the spin friendly conditions in Dubai while everyone else had to balance their squad for the more seamer friendly pitches in Pakistan.

For me it's the BCCI and the ICC, a subsidiary of the BCCI as Athers once called them.
They're online dickheads, and so are the team, especially Kohli, and their appeals, especially in India are somewhat over the top.

But the fans that go to the games are ok.
They're loud, fanatical, a bit like going to a footy match but without any potential for violence whatsoever.

As India is about as big as Europe, for want of a better phrase, there are different regional nationalities.
The people of Chennai have the reputation of being sporting, applauding both teams, the Bengalis of Kolkata and Bangladesh, not really.

But they love cricket, are happy to talk about it, on the street, in a cafe or at the game. Nee bother whatsoever.

I also want Australia to win, and it only ever happens when they're playing India.

Weren’t India against DRS right up to when it was implemented?

Also the same with me with Aussies. Only time I want them to win.

I think that’s slightly back to front. The Indians remained against it after it was introduced and refused to use it for the first six or seven years, even though it was initially supposed to be mandatory. Their undue influence got it made optional as I recall.
