38th Match - India v England

[Cabinet96]

Think he's just about ok

 

[Jarquis]

Great bowling from Bumrah, so take nothing away from him but in terms of risk/reward - going to the scoop when there's a man there doesn't seem super smart.

 

[Borges]

England are one of the four best teams in this tournament; they deserve to be in the semi finals; be in contention for the cup.
Should win this game quite easily, now.

 

[Cabinet96]

One run fewer than the group game in 2011 haha

 

[h_hurricane]

All time worst five fer in an ODI match?

Certainly. Add to that, an ATG 1 wicket haul.

 

[Beamer]

That is genuinely some of the best death bowling I have seen. Just unreal.

 

[mr_mister]

Highest ever world cup chase ever needed to get there, but certainly would say it's possible

 

[Daemon]

Can’t praise Bumrah’s death bowling enough. Pure class.

 

[wrongun]

Such a mixed spell from Shami. 5 wickets but those last two overs may have helped England put up a winning score here.

Bumrah is so good.

He's so weirdly awesome. I've seen him bowl live in the IPL on numerous occasions and I still can't get my mind around how he bowls. Infact , him giving up 44 runs today seems expensive considering he's been unhittable. I hope he has a long career.

 

[OverratedSanity]

3 great knocks in a row by stokes. Hope he actually ends up on the winning side this time.

 

[Uppercut]

So that’s Bumrah eh.

 

[morgieb]

Incredible stuff from Bumrah. Pretty strong bowling effort from India full stop after about over 20 too.

Still England probably favourites here. Run chases under pressure are hard and I don't think India's batting is well-equipped towards chasing very large targets.

Awesome innings from Stokes btw

If India win this then they're basically locked on to win the WC IMO. This is basically the worst case scenario we were all dreading. If they can pull off a win here then I can't see how they can lose.

Pakistan are both the third best team and the second worst team in this tournament. Make of that what you will.

might be a harsh call but bhuvi should probably come in for kuldeep

shami should bowl the middle overs with chahal/pandya

 

[cnerd123]

First 22 overs - 160/0
Last 28 overs - 177/7

 

[91Jmay]

Not sure how to feel. Left 30 runs on the field but it's a good score. Need Rohit and Kohli early

Agree with this if we're playing on a flat or fresh pitch. The slower more used ones suit Kuldeep more.

 

[Shri]

good point

lets jerk each other off with likes

Well I rate NZ and Australia's bowling units over England's
