38th Match - India v England

[Daemon]

Only the Pandya six over covers and one of the straight sixes has cleared the ropes comfortably. What are the dimensions of this ground?

 

[DriveClub]

If england get 330+ India cant chase this without dhawan

 

[halba]

this is nuts. England have totally regrouped. such guns.
Today they bat deep today with Plunkett at no.8

 

[Howsie]

India getting exposed here?

 

[DriveClub]

Ouch not a nice landing from KL there, hope he's ok.

Batting first + Roy makes such a huge difference to this team.

Dont forget the flat pitch

 

[halba]

Dont forget the flat pitch

can't say for sure until english bowl. if they swing it around then its not flat.

 

[morgieb]

Jesus christ, England could score 500 here. I don't care how flat the deck is, this is an outstanding start to an innings.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is brutal.

About 70m boundaries all round.

You love to see it. I 'd rather see England lose to NZ instead anyway. That should be enough. Or conversely they can beat NZ heavily to lower their N.R.R. Either way works fine.

It'll be disappointing if our wrist-spinners are lambs to the slaughter. Thought this was the type of situation where you need them to pick up a wicket or two and make a difference. Otherwise, we might as well have had Jadeja and Ashwin..

Swing has nothing to do with the pitch.

Not that there'll be any swing anyway.

 

[vcs]

Huge

 

[cnerd123]

India's going to be chasing 400 jfc

 

[mr_mister]

Give them these flat pitches until the final then break their heart with a dustbowl

 

[stephen]

I really think there should be 2 reviews available.

Reviews should reset after 25 overs. Silly to have to make such a huge risk at the start of the innings and have zero risk towards the end.

 

[vcs]

They're killing it. This is a real test that India haven't faced in a while, just all out attack.

 

[halba]

it does, the air around the ground/pitch plays an indicator if its a flat overall wicket. if theres swing u cant say its a flat deck.

 

[cnerd123]

They're getting away with ugly shots as well. Ridiculous.

 

[Member Berry]

this is going to be one of those extremely tedious absurdly high scoring games
