***Official***Match #29 - India vs England- October 29th - Lucknow (D/N)

[Victor Ian]

I reckon Malan can claim an assist for that one, if cricinfo are to be believed about his fielding a couple of balls earlier to keep Kholi on zero.

It was that good Kohli should have been out one bounce, one hand.

 

[Shri]

What’s a good score on this deck?

250+ but it will probably look inadequate later

 

[Aidan11]

India 35/2 after the Powerplay.

And that includes Willey's poor second over.

 

[Shri]

depending on what adil gets out of this pitch par score will differ

 

[Owzat]

India just need to be patient for a little period and build a little partnership. No need to panic, 270-280 could be a good score.

the England middle and lower order have little to no form, Livingstone 31 runs in the tournament, Ali 26, Wood's 43no as England were trying to avoid a 250-300 run defeat the highest score from 5-11 (Buttler 43)

Highest scores from 5-11
Buttler 43
Livingstone 20
Ali 15
Woakes 14
Willey 14no
Rashid 20
Wood 43no

not great, and of course this is atypical of the England bowlers, Bangladesh aside, have got the odd early wicket but usually goes downhill and off a cliff from there

 

[Victor Ian]

This has turned into a test match.

 

[BazBall21]

Probably still lose but couldn't ask for a better start than this.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

This has turned into a test match.

Oh good, we usually score faster in those!

 

[kevinw]

Panic at the disco batting from Iyer today

 

[Aidan11]

Yeeeeeeeees Woakesy.

 

[Owzat]

This has turned into a test match.

gets too tactical and captain tic tacs won't know if to get overs in from his quicks or to turn to Ali, Root and Livingstone I presume

considering the two disastrous batting efforts I'm surprised, well not really so much anymore, they put in even more bowling options and the above 5-11 which hasn't one fifty between them in five games......

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Probably still lose but couldn't ask for a better start than this.

Feeling happy now?

 

[Shri]

replace this **** with kishan

 

[BazBall21]

What discipline from Woakes. Iyer all at sea.

 

[Aidan11]

I'll be a lot happier when we get Rohit.

 

[centurymaker]

Iyer should not even be in the team anymore. Guy has zero technique or temperament.

 

[BazBall21]

Feeling happy now?

England are coming back. Had a feeling we would do it today.

 

[Andyhere]

260-280 probably.

Agreed

 

[OverratedSanity]

Jesus christ get this **** out of this team. Bring in anyone idc

 

[Andyhere]

England are coming back. Had a feeling we would do it today.

Little too late, won't make much of the difference in the outcome of the tournament
