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

[Owzat]

Apparently he is. Lets see how he goes.

or simply there's so little batting left it isn't like he's bowling to Kohli and Rohit, he's bowling to Yadav and Bumrah

(could still get carted out the ground of course, but not the same threat level batsmen)



And of course he can't bowl Rashid or Willey, Ali would be suicidal as would Livingstone, only leaves one option which is Wood one end, Woakes the other

 

[White Ball]

Why have India struggled in this game?

****e pitch

 

[ashley bach]

Putrid

Bit like my posts.


And my face.

 

[King Kane]

That drop of Bumrah looking costly, he is playing some decent shots.

 

[mackembhoy]

Useful runs these.

Not sure on the tactics of just getting them to try and hit up in the air.

 

[Andyhere]

Going too hard is how SKY got his place in the Indian Team to be fair. It definitely wasn't because of consistency in 50 Over cricket .

Yea but there is something called game awareness! There is no such thing as natural game, it's a myth. You adapt to the situation

 

[OverratedSanity]

Shami shouldn't be batting above bumrah and kuldeep

 

[Andyhere]

Only positive for India is they have no weak link in bowling. Genuine pace attack and good spinners

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Apart from India, death bowling has been putrid throughout the tournament.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

These are some handy runs. Could be the match

 

[Shri]

3 away from 230

this has not been a complete disaster

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Why have India struggled in this game?

Woakes rattled them in the opening powerplay

 

[OverratedSanity]

Not a bad effort after the jadeja wicket. Tail done good.

 

[Shri]

target 230

 

[Viscount Tom]

50 too many.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

If India defend this just give them the trophy right now.

 

[Aidan11]

This won't be easy for England.

 

[Athlai]

Par 270 imo.

England fully capable of bottling this

 

[Owzat]

50 too many.

arguably, depends how much early assistance Woakes got and how much his counterparts will get

I think at 40/3 India would have settled for a 230 target, England probably would have wanted 200 but perhaps would settle for 230 given some of the targets they've either not chased or have set and not defended ie they're innit, until they bat of course!

 

[King Kane]

230 would normally be a pretty comfortable run chase but I wouldn't be surprised if England made hard work of it given their recent batting form.
