38th Match - India v England

[Contra]

Going to be tough, but we have the batting for it if they all click. I think one of the two spinners might have to be dropped if we play on a completely flat wicket like this one in the KO games.

Also its absolutely ridiculous how India is just fielding Jadeja every game somehow

 

[Daemon]

That was a really fun innings. Not a dull moment at all thanks to some great fielding, bowling and hitting at various stages.

 

[Contra]

Also Shammi at WC = 30 Wkts @ 14. Pretty Amazing.

I was about to post it. You beat me to it.

It's my favourite part of their WC strategy. I have no idea how they're getting away with it but I love it.

Spot the odd one out

Whether KL Rahul can still open the innings given he was out of field for major portion in the match?

I thought 400 was on the cards definitely by the time roy got out. We have done exceedingly well to restrict them to something.. Respectable? Still not the favorites by a long way but kuldeep was nailed on to score a century after his 4th over. I call icc conspiracy too make sure that there is another india pakistan match in the tournament.

Oh God, I hope not. It's the most boring 'rivalry'...it's like watching those 1 sided drubbings SL used to hand India in the late 90s. India owns Pakistan in the WC....it's not a rivalry.

 

[GIMH]

Looks like a winning total to me.

 

[Borges]

It is a winning total.

 

[mr_mister]

Virat is due an epic knock in a chase. England are bloody lucky they have Archer

 

[Daemon]

Wonder if we'll stick to the cautious approach in the first 10.

 

[harsh.ag]

One of the few games involving India where I have fun regardless of either side winning

 

[vcs]

Yeah, if we lose, it's no disaster provided we regroup quickly. Hope we see some fireworks and a close finish.

 

[Borges]

Wonder if we'll stick to the cautious approach in the first 10.

Yes. I think so. Get the run rate up to nine first and then collapse when it starts looking possible.

 

[silentstriker]

Definitely a winning total. Hopefully this gives the Indian middle order a real workout though.

I'll be fine with Rohit doing that. But absolutely not with Rahul - he seems to have no idea how to shift gears. It's weird that I've seen him be more aggressive opening in tests than he has been opening in this tournament.

KL
Rohit
Kohli
Dhoni
Pant
Pandya
Jadeja
Bhuvi
Kuldeep
Shammi
Bumrah

A more balanced 11?
