38th Match - India v England

Shami getting tonked here. Brilliant from Butler.

 

[harsh.ag]

3 full tosses. And then THE WICKET!

 

[Beamer]

Shami now helpfully demonstrating bad death bowling instead

 

[cnerd123]

Yea Shami's really struggling to land it here.

 

[Spark]

Oh god that would have been an ATG bad drop

 

[cnerd123]

Did Shami literally just bowl 5 full tosses in a row and get a wicket with a long hop

Lmao

Third consecutive 4-fer

 

[Malcolm]

I was waiting for Buttler vs Bumrah contest. Shami just ruined it.

 

[Beamer]

Wild how absurdly large scores suddenly seem that much more unrealistic and difficult when you have... a good death bowler.

Shami currently showing the alternative. Mind hitting the deck, son?

That's been the story of this tournament for me. Huge scores have not been possible often as the bowling has generally been excellent, aided by some helpful pitches on occasion.

 

[h_hurricane]

Can't help thinking that Butler was good to get a 70 ball hundred here given an opportunity. That would have completely taken it away from India.

Why Woakes? He's not a slogger like Archer or Plunkett. This stubbornness to not be flexible with batting orders is not smart

 

[Jarquis]

Could've potentially gone Plunkett here. More likely to lever one over the rope.

Woakes happy hooking again.

 

[Member Berry]

bumrah's been very unlucky in terms of getting wickets

Woakes can absolutely slog.

Still hits a clean ball. Far better runner and less likely to face consecutive dots and starve Stokes of strike.

 

[91Jmay]

Should still get 330ish with a bit of luck.

 

[harsh.ag]

Stokes such a beast

 

[Member Berry]

shami is not and never has been a good death bowler

 

[mr_mister]

All time worst five fer in an ODI match?

 

[Spark]

For a bloke with 5 and okay-ish figures, Shami has bowled some proper dross in the last half hour

 

[91Jmay]

Unreal from Stokes. Makes you realise this is a belter though. Need somehow 350 i rhink
