38th Match - India v England

[OverratedSanity]

5th consecutive 50 in this WC. Is this a record?

Well if it is, he needs to make sure he gets out soon or he'll ruin it

Is a T20 in the last 20 the idea?

Unlike T20s, you lose a few wickets in the first 30 overs in ODIs. So ideally it should be 20-30 runs less than an achievable T20 target assessing the pitch.

this is actually better

we have got this if these two dig in and settle

 

[Teja.]

not hating on Rohit’s slow start acceleration here considering his top speed, the batsmen coming up and Kohli still being in.

rohit's done enough digging now

Partnership was also important here. And both don't trust middle order very much hence took less risks. But now they have upped the ante. Think we scored 33 runs in last 4 overs

Theyve already dug in

 

[Member Berry]

if there ever was an atrocious 50 at a strike rate of 80, this would be it.

 

[vcs]

These two have taken their time to settle in. They need to get us to 200 after 35 for us to have a chance.

lol you have no idea

they have to bat another 8-10 overs together to truly be dug in

BTW, wasn't India's over rate a little slow today? Will Virat be banned for the next match? Or have they given up on actually observing that sort of thing in India matches now?

Don't you guys ever get tired of the "oh they rig in favor of India" schtick?

 

[rythy]

Rashid have been poor. He is giving too much width and being punished.

best possible way to chase this TBH

If these two are still batting by 30 overs and the RRR is 9 or less, it's even stevens.

20 overs of spin was bowled so I doubt it was too slow

 

[vcs]

Sehwag just doesn't rate spinners at all.

yea don't need to take Tec's posting on these topics seriously he's just got an axe to grind

 

[Daemon]

Rohit’s done a decent job of catching up from his slow start. Almost like a reverse Bairstow.

 

[mr_mister]

How many times have we heard some variation of 'he only had 5 metres to move and couldn't get there, so sweetly was that timed'

I swear we could provide more interesting commentary

It just don't think the way to go about a 330 run chase is to score 30 in the first 10.

Happy to be proven wrong. If they do pull it off it will be extraordinary. Rohit's starting to look good here.
