38th Match - India v England

[Groundking]

Comms pointed it out but wonder if Plunkett coming in for Moeen has made England are bit less confident to tee off during overs 30-40.

I'd back Plunkett to have a better knock 9 times out of 10 at the minute...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Haha wow that's ridiculous

 

[Jarquis]

Yassssss. More of that

 

[Daemon]

Yeah this was why I was worried about Chahal having overs left

 

[Cabinet96]

I was going to make that point but Moeen hasn't contributed anything in ages.... so it probably shouldn't be as much of a factor

True but think it's probably still there in the back of their minds that Woakes is in a place higher than usual.

 

[the big bambino]

Pandya is practically undroppable right now for his lower order batting.

Yes that’d be the point to consider. Most sides are getting by with one spinner in this wc. I’d like to see Bhuvi come back at least.

 

[vcs]

Incredible shot, they've killed us with the reverse hits all game.

 

[cnerd123]

That switch hit was incredible

 

[rythy]

8 overs left from Shami and Bumrah of last 10.

 

[Shri]

bumrah is going to take out one of these bats and butler cheaply

Yeah, as I said it's Buttler or bust. With bust being largely relying on tailender slogging.

 

[cnerd123]

Absolutely no way he gets a game as a pure bowler for Pak/SA, come on now

Probably not SA (would take Lucky's spot as AR tho) but he's definitely bowled better than Hasan Ali. Won't get into Pak atm now that they've got Shaheen firing as third quick.

England still on track for 340 here and no idea if India can chase that

 

[Jarquis]

Root's still got some catching up to do..

Depends on Rohit and Pant a lot I think. Kohli will play as usual but one of Rohit/Pant needs big firing innings.

 

[srbhkshk]

I am still hoping England gets to about 340-350, would be nice to see how our batting responds.

 

[mr_mister]

The best fielding side in the world

 

[rythy]

Pandya sleeping in the field

 

[Cabinet96]

Ffs come on Joe

 

[harsh.ag]

Root really does need to go now.

 

[91Jmay]

Root needs to just swing now. This is poor from hin
