***Official***Match # 44- England vs Pakistan - November 11th - Eden Gardens, Kolkata (D/N)

[Aidan11]

Good cameo comes to an end.

 

[honestbharani]

It honestly was. Pakistan have been fielding really well in the last half hour or so, esp. the fast bowlers.

More great fielding there, this time by Chachu. @trundler

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Good grab Chachu

Service resumed.

Most impressive part is that he can run that far at his age

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That ball reversed swung into the off stump

 

[King Kane]

What a ball from Wasim and he's on a hat trick.

 

[Aidan11]

337/9.

A respectable total.

 

[King Kane]

Too much swing on that last ball, just needed to get it on the stumps.

 

[trundler]

England Pakistan WC games are always fun.

 

[Aidan11]

If Pakistan are to win they would need to make the highest ever score batting second to win a WC game.

Australia have just broken the current record with 307.

Pakistan made 345 against SL

Pakistan made 345 against SL

Well the commentators at the Aussie have either got it wrong or I may have misheard them.

Either way it's going to be quite a total for Pakistan to chase.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Pak already has two record chases this WC so it's not impossible for Pak to win this.

 

[honestbharani]

I would actually say they are favorites considering the dew.

The only catch is the ball does swing a lot at the beginning here and Willey and Woakes are very good exponents of new ball swing. If Pak can get through that phase, they are definitely favorites in my book.

 

[silentstriker]

6.4 overs, let's go! Just 8 runs per ball needed.

 

[Aidan11]

Great start from the forgotten man.

 

[King Kane]

A wicket for Willey already, why aren't the ECB giving him another contract? He's England's best player.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

He's England's best player.

Steady now.

Been hard done by for sure though, underrated player for us.

 

[Bijed]

6.4 overs, let's go! Just 8 runs per ball needed.

Just got to bat sensibly and trust that a couple hundred of wides will be forthcoming
