*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[Shri]

If we survive without losing Kohli/DK/Pandya for 20 overs, their bowlers will start bowling bad balls, because they are probably going to go all out with no reserve up front to get us out. Survive 20 overs and the game is ours.

If you survive 20 overs with two of those three still intact you'll only need 10-20 more runs for victory, so saying you'll win if you survive 20 overs is pretty much stating the obvious.

Don't mind him. He decides to post a stupid thing each day as soon as he wakes up.

 

[Pratters]

Honestly, I can't decide who is more likely to win at this point. I suppose it is England as they are the home team and a wicket within the first 20 runs (likely) will mean we are staring down the barrel.

Those 20 overs will be pure HELL

 

[Burgey]

Understandable India fans are nervous but you’ve got five in the bank and one is arguably the best chaser in Cricket history

 

[S.Kennedy]

I would say India by a margin.

It's 2:30pm FFS. I don't care if it's a weekend, you shouldn't be waking up at that hour.

The last 3 are rabbits though. Can't expect much from them in these conditions if someone like Kohli isn't there to marshal them. Bhuvi or Jaddu would have been more reassuring prospects.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah Umesh, Ishant and Shami are complete bunnies. Need Hardik to score a quick jammy 30.

 

[anaksr]

Win this match Hardik and you will hunt your hunters

 

[harsh.ag]

England have got this. Two wickets will fall quickly and then a slow burn to 140 a.o.

 

[Pratters]

Bowlers would also be fresh early in the morning.

 

[rparikh14]

In response to Last Man Standing, my predictions are:

No
Yes

No, we might only score 20 off 20 overs if they bowl well. Still 60 left to score. Anything could happen.

 

[Shri]

Don't mind him. He decides to post a stupid thing each day as soon as he wakes up.

Well I at least only do it when I wake up. But, you on the other hand...

 

[Shri]

 

[Pratters]

About the time Rahane started becoming poor.

 

[Top_Cat]

Damn what a Test. Love how it’s been the experienced hands who’ve generally done the damage but a touch of a new talent to break it open. Tipping Broad to win it for England, reckon Root needs to lean on him a bit today and can see a couple of his exploding out of the rough and taking the edges of India’s lower-order.

Aussie curators could learn a thing or two about preparing Test match decks from this too ohh drop-ins, never mind.

 

[vcs]

Rahane has been dire for two full years now, apart from that partnership with Pujara in the 2nd innings at Bangalore, and the SL tour where even Pandya looked like Sobers. And when he fails, he fails hard, doesn't even get 20-30.
