4th June - Group B - India v Pakistan

[Burner]

Pakistan should be happy with anything below 320. Chaseable total on this pitch definitely

 

[honestbharani]

There is no point Gambhiring in a thread with smileyshah posting anyways.. He is the champion at it.

But Azhar Ali bats so slow #ThingsPakFansSay

 

[vcs]

Yeah, 320 is a par score and Pakistan can easily restrict India to thereabouts if they bowl well from here. Not convinced they'll be able to chase it down given their history against India, but that's what they've got to hope for.

 

[Shri]

Wonder how many triple centurions have been discarded so soon.

Andy Sandham - 14 tests
Bob Cowper - 27 tests
Lawrence Rowe - 30 tests

 

[cnerd123]

Finally. Felt like ages since a boundary

 

[honestbharani]

320 means we have to bowl well to defend as well. That is no given no matter how promising our bowling attack seems to be, on paper.


Kohli playing the shot I have perfected in WCC 2 just now off Amir.

 

[harsh.ag]

Start hitting out, Nohit.

 

[Shri]

Start hitting out, Nohit.

Nah, should wait till the 38th over.

 

[Burner]

Hasan Ali looks a good prospect

 

[OverratedSanity]

Too many dots from Rohit. Needs to accelerate now.

 

[Black_Warrior]

OS still living in the era when gambhiring used to work

No he's just the casual whos' cricketing mindset is based on the 90s when 290+ was a difficult score

 

[cnerd123]

Hasan Ali bowling well here

 

[harsh.ag]

Hasan's bowling a fantastic containing spell. Putting the pressure on. Has the cutter and the bouncer down.

 

[OverratedSanity]

16 in the last 5 overs isnt good enough. Amir and Hasan have pulled it back really well.

 

[honestbharani]

Maybe they wanted to ensure they dont lose a wicket with DL looming?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Maybe they wanted to ensure they dont lose a wicket with DL looming?

Nah, they were trying to hit out in the previous over for sure. Just couldn't get Hasan away.

 

[Daemon]

Hopefully we don't lose overs here, would only help Pakistan.

 

[cnerd123]

Why do we even play cricket in England urgh

 

[Shri]

Nohit - 3 off the last 18 balls. Ok thats terrible.
