And you’re right about India being good batters, hence why the BCCI have produced roads for these two games. 

I think you know that I mean they'll be able to bat on any surface more often than not, not that they're being favoured. Kishan is one of the best T20 batters in the world for a reason...

They've got the most in form bats in the tournament here, but home advantage has played its part as it does elsewhere. 

This is the thing. It doesn't just have to be all about the pitch. 

 

It's fine to compliment the batsman (for any teams) but I think some fans find that difficult but would rather find other reasons why batters do well.

Cricket is all about the pitches though. Look how Pakistan created those disgusting rank turners after England got 800 against them. Variation in pitches globally are why we love the sport. Competition between bat and ball are why we love the sport. This pitch is literally like playing with a tennis ball in a car park.

So India lost at the same stadium on a different pitch. 

 

India play on a different pitch today. 

 

So there's variation but you don't like it? If a pitch favouring spinners was curated you wouldn't like it? So seems like they're in a no-win situation?

Creepy director lingering on shots of ladies in the crowd, as per usual.

 

 

Happens every tournament across different sports!

Hope India get a huge score and get beat, really like New Zealand as well 

I really like them too. The way they approach games and tournaments with professionalism and their approach is admirable. 

 

Always loads of effort and likeable players on the field.

Shit from Arshdeep

Wasn't even close to the stumps lol lol

 

I'd actually be asking for the umpires to remove him. 

 

I don't know what the rulings are around it.

India are going to win everything for years to come.

Not sure that's the case. 

 

Do you mean in T20s or other formats too?

World Cup, Champions Trophy, T20 World Cup. This will be there in a row, won't it?

Including this it will be two T20 trophies and the Champions Trophy. Only Australia have stopped you in recent years. I think you'll win the World Cup next year.

Not looked where the next host locations are but if they keep putting them in Asia then India will win more often than not. 

 

 

Next World Cup (next year) is in Southern Africa, the next Champions Trophy is in India.

Jasprit man, there really isn’t a sports person on the planet I look forward to watching more than him regardless of it being a poor final

You have to hold your hands up and say fair play to a team that have just knocked in consecutive 250+ scores in a semi final and final. 
 

For me though, it’s just another tournament that’s been set up to favour India.

The pitches that were really made to benefit the home team were in Sri Lanka, who made turners for their own bowlers. It just so happened they were too shit to take advantage of them. Indian wickets were just great batting tracks that gave all batters a chance of getting runs e.g. Bethell. Ultimately when a team is able to get 250+ regularly, they're going to win, and credit to India for being able to do that.
