38th Match - India v England

[cnerd123]

338 doesn't require chaos batting in the first ten.

There is a middle ground between chaos and 3 maidens in a row tho

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That's how people talk tbf. It's hard to be constantly interesting and super insightful

Or in Warne's case never say anything interesting unless he talks about spin bowling and setting people up.

 

[91Jmay]

Still think that Root drop could kill us

 

[rythy]

time to see what jofra archer is made of. woakes is quality we know that.

Archer is overrated. Not much variety.

Carrying an injury now so struggling.

if we are to have an easy chase we have to be scoring at 5-7 an over by the end of the tenth over

we are currently going at 2.79

 

[Shri]

8 overs 22-1

4 4s in that so runs scored off just 10 balls at most

too many ****ing dots

maybe its just not msd eh

 

[vcs]

Tbh, if he bats that long, it would be all over. Will be something like 270/7 with MS 100* of 131 balls.

With 50 of those runs coming off the last 20

Really good bowling tbf.

 

[Member Berry]

Are these two batting to stumps or something?

This is a slow start by India's standards

eng are bowling well and these two can't afford to take too many risks early tbf. the english openers started fairly similarly against our quicks, except for a couple more edges going for four. it's spin and the fifth bowler they really tee'd off against.

 

[weldone]

Trust these two to know more about ODI chasing than all of us combined.

 

[Shri]

Really good bowling tbf.

nothing extraordinary

these two are too scared about exposing our non-existent middle order

 

[mr_mister]

The singles will start when the powerplay is over. There's no gaps in the first ten so it's generally boundary or nothing. Normally I'd agree this is too slow but this WC teams have came out the blocks really slow but wickets in hand allowed them to catch up

 

[91Jmay]

nothing extraordinary

A couple of bad balls at most in 9 overs. It's really good stuff.

 

[h_hurricane]

Rohit has completely gone into his shell. Would hurt the team if he does not play out the overs.

 

[h_hurricane]

This approach from this pair has to do something with the lack of confidence in people who follow them. I don't think they trust any one other Hardik and arguably Jadhav to do their job.

 

[91Jmay]

Think I'd have given Woakes one more. Plunkett useful on this deck though.

 

[Shri]

if kohli has decided that he can boss this pitch already, this approach makes sense - playing out archer\\but if he holes out to ****ing adil rashid, this will look stupid

There is every chance of this happening. No momentum in the innings at all.

 

[Member Berry]

12 off 30 chasing 338 is pushing it even for Rohit
