38th Match - India v England

[mr_mister]

Dhoni perhaps to act as a counter weight for Pant?

 

[Shri]

brohit in familiar ipl territoryslow stream

we are in the endgame now

 

[Tec15]

Imagine giving Woakes of all people, figures of 2-8 from 5.1 overs when your'e chasing 338 to win..

 

[cnerd123]

What is the point of Jadhav in this side?

scored a match saving 50 vs Afghanistan didn't he?

Was a pretty good lower-middle order bat ans finisher for a while but has lost his touch leading into this WC. His troll spinners were useful for a spell but he hasn't be required much this WC either (got taken for 14 in his only over vs Australia as well).

Can still do a job, but he's like most players - when he's in form, he's a tremendous asset. When he's not, he's dead weight.

Welp Rohit throws it away. Woakes having a hell of a game.

 

[Member Berry]

good decision to get Hardik in

 

[wrongun]

Ok so a cutter does the trick. Hardin out with Pant, this should be either quick runs or a quick wicket

 

[mr_mister]

Ah I see it's Hardik. I always worry that two maniacs batting at once is counter productive but we'll see

 

[h_hurricane]

A 20 ball 50 from Pandya will be gold dust here. Good innings from Rohit, not his best though.

 

[cnerd123]

Yea good move to send Pandya in

These two need to unleash some chaos here

 

[Spintolose]

Woaksey! The new Bumrahhhhhh!

 

[Malcolm]

Hardik and Pant. I am excited.

 

[Member Berry]

Ah I see it's Hardik. I always worry that two maniacs batting at once is counter productive but we'll see

there's serious potential for a run-out with both of these stranded at the same end yelling at each other

Would you have gotten Jadhav in earlier?

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is the best innings of all time.

 

[mr_mister]

Pant **** me at least play actual shots. He'd have looked so stupid getting out there

Aye that's fair. Handy player I suppose.

I wonder do India look at bringing back Shankar next game? I'd rather it be Jadhav not Pant gone if so. Pant got more upside atm.

With the umpires having to go upstairs as both tried to ground the bat at the same time.

He's by no means brilliant and can certainly bowl some crap a times, but why ahve a few people on here recently singling out Woakes as if he's a total joke of a bowler and is England's biggest deadweight? He's in the same team as Mark Wood, for crying out loud

 

[Shri]

136 off 80 is not a bad position to be in at this stage

 

[Member Berry]

Pant **** me at least play actual shots. He'd have looked so stupid getting out there

watch him get out to a stupid shot like that and then walk off absolutely devastated and close to tears like he hadn't already played 10 similarly stupid shots like it
