jeez with all due respect to india this is just pathetically low energy it's as if they're waiting to be ethered ffs
not to have a sook about appearances but it's a real bad look for a professional team

Yeah, they look like they just want to get off the park as quickly as possible right now.

Hales is just a school boy bully, you can hear the kids say ''quick let's get outta here, here comes Alex.

The crowd is really quiet, apart from the handful of English supporters

that's probably just the shitty broadcast tbh, they're not a majority but there are enough England fans here to make themselves heard

 

[sledger]

you do wonder if persisting with people like Kohli is worth the candle for India

great batter, but you get the feeling many of the other players think he's a dick and/or are afraid of him (i.e. he is toxic)

rarely worth carrying a player like that imo, the positives they bring in terms of their ability always end up being outweighed by the way in which they end up upsetting/inhibiting everyone else

he's like a less good version of pietersen actually

This thrashing is good in a way, the build up to the final would have gone super cheesy and annoying had India faced Pakistan in finals.

Just reemphasises the high variability of T20 and how a couple of things going right on the day can be decisive imo. Any of the top six teams can beat the others any day and you wouldn't make one of those teams more than a 60-65% favourite against another.

And yeah this match has been a clone of the first semi.

imo NZ had a better chance of beating Pak in their semi than India had here. India weren't even the best team in our group stage - Pak dominated for most of that much and SA smashed them. It just took them both ****ing up/choking to ensure India got it. They struggled to put Bangladesh away.

Making the Semi Finals for India is more of an overachievement than it was for NZ. England are comfortably the best side in this tournament. The result of both semis reflect this.

Reminds me of @Dhonisgland and his comments about the bus.

England's team is very good but their form is middling. Pakistan have some question marks about their middle order but everything else is hitting great form.

Paks Cup to lose imo

kohli isn’t toxic at all what on earth is this post

 

[straw man]

They're also just not that good itbt. SA in the group stages exposed them

Every team is flawed tbf. Final will be between the team that lost to Zimbabwe and the team that lost to Ireland.

[Adorable Asshole]

Half of the team should never play T20 again

Not possible

You’re final-bound on the back of a bloke who sank the slipper into the head of a prone figure outside a Bristol nightclub. Toxic doesn’t cover it.

We've won a few on the bounce now. Not really middling form

 

[Athlai]

Does CW need sledger?

did ashwin just try bowling medium pace or are my eyes deceiving me
