Battle between two attacking batting sides. Team which bowles better will win

 

[govinda indian fan]

Imo win the toss and bowl. Two batting heavy teams and flat pitch

England are arguably a batsman light, Overton at 7 is a place too high. But sure they'd bowl anyway, sounds like dew could be a factor too.

Both teams are going top heavy most probably.. Shami arse Varun all don't bat much.. If bishnoi or harshit also plays, then it's 6 out all out

 

[honestbharani]

Varun has improved his hitting tbh. So has Arse and Shami, to me, will always be a guy with Harbhajan level potential with the bat.

England have 4 batters, 2 all rounders and then about 5 number 8/9's. 4 down could be all out very quickly.

 

[Molehill]

India win toss and bowl, citing the dew as a key factor. I suspect that's going to be how it goes in all the games.

Salt gone for 0

And 2 down quickly...

 

[Molehill]

And Duckett doesn't last long either, seems like ball not quite coming onto the bat.

 

[FBU]

Imagine Bumrah and Shami as well bowling in this game

3-0-10-2

Brook looks an absolute mess at the mo, lucky to be dropped.

And for those of us who were concerned about the batting depth, Livingstone at 5 confirms it. That was horrible.
