100% success buckets: 27% -> Top Performers Shami Pant Ashwin 18% -> Middle Performers Jadeja Ishant 54% -> Underperformers Kohli Bumrah Pujara Rohit Ajinkya Gill Team with such success distribution rely on heroics. They wait for the Phoenix to rise from the ashes, they wait for Superman to save the day, they wait for magic to happen, but as it turns out, every day is not a Sunday! If you bet on someone to save your life - who would you chose - a reckless genius or a predictable doctor? The World Test Championship got its deserved winner Team New Zealand. And as we appreciate the best team it also begs the question to learn why the most touted team to win the title, choked yet again in a major tournament final.? Is it now a psychological issue, is it just an aberration or is this happening simply because of a faulty process? A vocal captain with a gift of the gab and a massive fan following may ensure that all cameras remain focussed on his expression, eclipsing 10 other in the park. Not a great virtue for a leader. It is increasingly evident that there is a culture disconnect with the team in general. He is almost in a different entitlement league than rest of the mere mortals. Oh Captain! Glorious uncertainties are the basic fabric of Cricket. So it's not surprising to learn that despite copious amounts of time spent in planning for the World Test Championship, there wasn't a single practice match before the game. Nor was team planning given due consideration, citing abundance of talent to override English conditions.Glorious idiosyncrasies may capture the sentiment better. As we all know, life is about moving, whether you are arriving or departing.Soon, there will be a victory series around the corner, and all will be forgotten. People also have a short term memory until the next time when shit hits the fan. Join me in this discussion where I dive deep into the analysis of the match and share insights on 3 things which the team could've done better. I'm abbreviating it to BAT strategy. If you're keen to know what BAT stands for - tune in. #WorldTestChnapionshipFinal2021 #Cricket #IndvNZ
