Rohit's having a beast of a World Cup. 5 WC centuries for him overall, only one behind Sachin.

 

[vcs]

Well done to India! First mission accomplished by getting to the semifinals, convincing stuff so far. The middle order and the finishing are poor, but we've learned nothing new there. Nothing much to do now but to hope we can cover that weakness in the knockout matches.

 

[ankitj]

We should want England knocked out, shouldn't we? They can be our nemesis.

Pant has what it takes to make that 4-5 spot his own. Would be cool to see him come in early when India is 3 for **** all against SL to see what he can do when the stakes are a WC win. My XI:

Agarwal
Rohit
Kohli
Rahul
Pant
Pandya
Dhoni
Jadeja
Bhuvi
Bumrah
Chahal

I know Shami has done well but it's clear he can be taken apart by skilled batsmen. Don't want to risk that close to the KOs so he has to sit out or if he plays, not bowl after the 40th over. If pitches are going to be similar, I think Pandya can be more effective than him anyway.

Just pray we win every toss

Nah, I have more confidence in us beating them than Pakistan.

Come on. We have 7-0 record against Pakistan. It's more who you would rather lose to is playing on your mind

On the other, England can stop Australia from winning, so I should want England to qualify.

Sure but its also that they're on an absolute roll.

 

[cnerd123]

if anything will inspire Pakistan to break the duck it's a WC run that's eerily identical to 1992

 

[Contra]

Would still prefer to face Pak than England tbh.

 

[ankitj]

It will be ideal if NZ beats Eng and BD beats Pak. Australia will then play England in Semi and India will play NZ. Sure NZ are good too but would rather play them than other 2 in semi. And no heartbreak from a remotely possible loss to Pakistan.

 

[Shri]

If we face Pak, we only have to worry about Amir, Babar and Fakhar. Eng has Roy, Bairstow, Buttler, Morgan, Stokes with the bat and then Archer and some annoying medium pacers. I'd rather beat Pak tbh.

 

[srbhkshk]

Yeah, I'd definitely face Pakistan over England. India is definitely a better team than Pakistan, Pakistan's "roll" is more a case of them having to face tougher teams at the start and easier ones at the end.

Rayudu announces retirement

 

[ankitj]

Someone tell him there can be another injury.

Performance of Kohli in this WC is similar to Steve smith in 2015 WC . Let's hope he scores a century in the SF/Final.

They would've just called up Yuvraj or something
