Yeah, decent pace and the variable bounce is doing the rest.

& is it me or has Shami aged about five years since last summer? Looks like he had the same paper round as Praveen.

I am obviously following it, but such a wicket is hardly a great advert for the game. Let's hope we see better decks for the World Cup.

So you'd rather watch Rohit smash a 200 every other game?

I don't think this deck is ideal, but I love these kind of matches... makes it a proper bat v ball contest which ODI cricket just isn't most of the time these days.

Yeah, I don't agree at all with Bleed Blues view on low scoring games on lively wickets..........but this is very poor for a ODI. Bounce is like a day 4 or 5 test strip.

I'm all for wickets that reward good bowling but both Dohni and Bell didn't have chance with those deliveries.

wtf is Moeen Ali doing there. Bizarre.



btw this is a very nice sort of pitch to see for a change. We need to see more bowler-friendly conditions. Hope we see more of these sort of pitches in the world cup.

Yeah agree. Point is it'll still make for a fun match if England lose a few more.

I'd prefer a couple like this from time to time when you have grounds like Chinnaswamy and the Wanderers.

Deck is fine for me, bat well you can score runs. Problem with blokes like Bleed Blue is they want slogs to be regularly rewarded with runs because of the pitches.

Bad shot from Moeen, he finds some horrible ways to get out. Nervy one this.

Nothing wrong with some wickets that help the bowlers, not a fan of ones where the batsman can be helpless, a la Bell & Dhoni.

Yeah, apart from Dhoni and Bell, who were unfortunate, there've been some really awful shots played by the batsmen.

Please, there's bugger all wrong with this wicket. Two below par teams with players out of form, who don't know how to score runs at the moment.

Look at Root's shot, absolutely woeful.
