*Official* Match 11 - India v England

[Contra]

Haha Yuvi ducking to a slow bouncer

 

[ankitj]

Something tells me India will not get much in excess of 320. They are not exactly exploding here.

 

[Spark]

Making a real hash of the PP here. Not far above a run a ball.

 

[sirmallaya]

So with 10 to go - 100 more should be the target but I'd be OK with 320.

Have my doubts about whether they can get 100 with this slow track, and Yuvraj not looking at his destructive best. I think the early overs were the best to bat in. 80 should be the target.

 

[Howe_zat]

That's the weirdest bouncer I've ever seen.

 

[Chehtha]

India just ruining the batting powerplay advantage here.......dire stuff

 

[Spark]

1/32 off the PP. Poor effort given the amount of half trackers bowled.

 

[sirmallaya]

Carn Yuv, go nuts. Have a bloody go

 

[Contra]

not been able to capitalize fully. But at least we didn't lose too many wickets.

 

[cnerd123]

Momentum well and truely stalled.

9 overs to go, 252 on the board. 300 is a given, 330 is the aim now.

 

[Burgey]

Agree completely, but i would think that a 'world class' player like Anderson (atleast he's been called 'world class' by his fans) would be able to make th conversion, and find a way to use his skills to be successful in ODI's.

That's tosh. Yuvraj (as an example) might be a WC limited overs batsman, but he's crap in tests.

How dare you criticise the "slower ball bouncer"?

 

[Spark]

Think it'd have been beneficial for India to lose a wicket but get 15 more runs, given what they have in the sheds.

 

[Dissector]

A side needs to have a freak day to beat India in this tourney looks unbeatable soo far.

Don't try to jinx us.

Seriously, this game doesn't mean much. England isn't a very good ODI side and there isn't much pressure on India batting first.

Facing Australia in the semi or final and chasing a 270+ target against Lee, Johnson and Tait is going to be another story altogether. Slapping around BD and England doesn't tell us much about how India will perform in that situation.

 

[Spark]

Ugh Yardy. Roundarm slow medium, that's what this is. That it works is even more infuriating.

 

[ankitj]

Get an impression that ball is not coming on the bat easily. And Yardy has done well bowling flat, straight and fast.

 

[Contra]

Think it'd have been beneficial for India to lose a wicket but get 15 more runs, given what they have in the sheds.

they did lose a wicket. Ideally I wouldn't mind losing a few wickets if we get 45-50 runs in it. But if you weren't able to capitalize fully at least you didn't lose too many wickets. Recently teams have simply collapsed during the powerplays.. so could have been worse.

 

[sirmallaya]

That's tosh. Yuvraj (as an example) might be a WC limited overs batsman, but he's crap in tests.

Are you high? I am not talking about Yuvraj- i admit he's crap in tests. I'm saying, people seem to be talkin about Anderson on here as if he is a true world class player- ie someone who can Not only win the Ashes, but succeed for them in WC matches. I was merely wondering that, if people are this opinion, why he isn't performing in ODI's

People aren't comparing Anderson and Yuvraj. Yuvraj is a crap one dimensional player. Anderson is supposedly an extremely skilled player, who they feel can be a huge advantage in this World Cup. So how come he isn't showing this multi dimensional nature?

 

[Spark]

ZaltzCricket:
Going well. Not going will. Yuvraj rather out of touch. He was promoted above Kohli. Or he might have eaten him. Hard to tell.

 

[Furball]

Yardy's bowlng is ****ing appaling to watch. Absolutely dog****.
