And, yeah, you know, it was – look, it was a pretty well-constructed innings from India –

uh all told you know they came home with a wet sale at the end uh and they they put enough on the board right and and yeah they they bring shivam dubai to the party he's um he's got runs on the board now you know it's it's all looking it's all looking pretty healthy uh for the indian bats i have to say um except for abhishek sharma but if you think about it another way um you know with zero runs in the tournament thus far and being the number one t20 batter in the world um

His ranking is higher than the number of runs he's made.

So I don't know what that says about rankings.

It also says that they really rate Sandry Sampson.

I just would have no problems with Abhishek Sharma at all.

In fact, it leaves me thinking that he will probably just do the business when it matters because he's an unbelievable batter.

And if you want to fail at any part of the tournament, it's this part.

Just don't play against Zimbabwe.

He just looks nailed on for player of the tournament.

He just looks unplayable.

I'm sure there'll be guys at the back end of the tournament who are going to be a bit more adept at playing it.

But as far as I can see, if you want to beat India in this T20 World Cup, you're going to have to solve eight overs of Chakravarti and Jasprit Pumra.

I fail to see how anyone's really going to do that.

And I think it's worth noting that because one of the growing narratives in this tournament, and it's a good one and I wish it were true, is that the...

the shortness of t20 cricket brings teams together only one or two things need to go wrong for a favorite for things to turn around well if you are good enough as india is you know you can win games if you just have better players i'm sorry i don't mean it to sound like a revelation it's the most simplistic comment of all time but when i look at those two guys and you know let's fight like boom boomer should continue to receive flowers but um now chakravarti's here um

I just don't see how you can get on top of him.

What do you do?

You can't run at him.

You don't know which way it's spinning, and it's too quick to really go back to and force as well.
