38th Match - India v England

[Member Berry]

Pandya can catch those. He is a terrific fielder.

you're right, forgot about him. jadeja and him are probably the two most naturally athletic fielders we've ever had.

Chahal isn't more Chessmaster than Cheatcode. Amir/Boult might be a better pick. Boult especially for his fielding.

Jason Roy has been pretty Cheatcode-ish this WC, especially in good conditions to bat. Probs pick him over Warner, unless you've got Warner there for trying to literally cheat in a game.

Sir RJ has done something immeasurable here. Him taking out Roy probably saves 20 runs at least. Another 20 runs if you consider bringing Root to the crease and making him stay till the end.
These are not going to reflect in poor guy's stats.

Edit. Root is off to a fast start here. What an annoying crook.

No point bowling Bumrah now, they’ll just see him off. Save him for when we’re under the pump.

Guess they figure throw your best at these guys while their vulnerable (Root new at the crease, Bairstow near a ton)

Might not work though

reckon they're looking for a wicket via Bumrah.

Bairstow has ridden his luck superbly

Cheat code XI:

Finch
Warner
Root
Kohli
Shakib
Maxwell (after all he's often known as HACKSwell)
Buttler+
Starc
Bumrah
Archer (England used cheats to get him in the country)
Chahal

12th:Jadeja

Warner and Smith are shoe-ins

 

[Daemon]

Kohli’s hands have taken a serious battering at short cover

 

[harsh.ag]

Pretty ballsy pulling out a reverse sweep in the 90s

Reverse sweeps just look weird. They aren't really inherently more risky than conventional sweeps

It’s a decent outfield catch for a moderately athletic and gifted fieldsman, which he easily is. Let’s not get carried away here

was still sweeping against the spin tho

 

[Member Berry]

smart, for once, by pandya slowing it down and bowling more cutters in between his usual stuff

 

[Malcolm]

Now go for 200 Johnny.

 

[91Jmay]

Great ton. Needed it after chatting shite but huge pressure moment to get it. Need him to go on though if possible.

 

[Member Berry]

bairstow really feeling himself

 

[Daemon]

Get Jadhav on

 

[mr_mister]

Indiiiiia
India
Indiiiiia
India

 

[Spikey]

wow we're gonna have two double hundreds in this game

These guys have no answers to the reverse sweeps today do they
