22nd Match - India v Pakistan

[Burner]

Kohli so good he hits even when there is a 4 cm distance between bat and ball.

How ****ing good has Amir been. Sub 5 ER in high scoring games. Regularly picks up wickets too. Starcesque.

 

[slippy888]

Kholi walked for no reason lol

Its a small criticism as that is a score Pakistan won't chase, but ideally that would have been Pant at the end trying to smash it rather than Shankar.

It's going to hurt a lot if India get to the SF stage. A score like this is never going to be enough against the likes of England.

Full credit to the BCCI thinktank for coming up with "innovative" nonsense.

You have one, repeat ONE, power hitter. Save him for the final few overs.

All the commentators are jokers because they keep saying "Good move to send out Hardik at this stage."

Kind of funny to see almost a carbon copy of yesterday's first innings play out here

Pretty much singlehandedly carrying the bowling atm.

 

[trundler]

So all of you were crying for months about how there's no hope for India if their top order collapses. They're averaging like 80 each.

The only good thing about Shankar's innings today is that it makes Pant's case stronger for the remaining matches which is pretty much what every one wants.

Meh Shankar coming out earlier wouldve just allowed him to waste more deliveries. Sending Hardik out earlier is good... see the innings against Aus, that gave the score a huge push.

 

[trundler]

You would've expected more from MSD.

The first clue that Kohli didn't actually nick the ball is that someone actually managed to hold onto a catch off Amir

don't think so, it might not had got this down till Shankar had if MSD batted above Hardik

 

[trundler]

Also, what was that drop off Amir in the last over? Was a clear edge, right?

More likely to just play DK and keep Dhawan ready for the final few games tbh. We can always draft Pant in if he doesn't recover later.

 

[trundler]

Tone to roll '92 highlights.

 

[Gob]

Well bowled Momad

Something isn't good because it works. Something isn't bad because it doesn't work. It's before that counts. In both cases, it was a bad strategy, against Australia and today.

Maybe they though he would bat much longer.
