*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[vcs]

Root playing the incoming delivery well today.

 

[fredfertang]

That'll ruin my LMS.

Fj has been all knowing with Root related predictions this season I'm afraid

 

[Flem274*]

generally whenever i start snarking a player they ton up so root might actually defy his nature today

 

[Niall]

Ashwin looks the weakest link when it comes to India's bowling.

I know. Hence the anguish.

 

[OverratedSanity]

**** you Ashwin

 

[Daemon]

new spell and ashwin still hasn't learned. **** for brains.

 

[fredfertang]

I know. Hence the anguish.

In fact it's getting a little suspicious

 

[Starfighter]

Cricinfo just recorded the overs as '39.7, 40.2'.

 

[vcs]

Bring back Prior. Not liking Swann's commentary at all.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So how many do we think is a total that will be too many? 250 or a few more than that?

I'd say we are still in it with 200 but India would be slight favourites. Hard to call though.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Again with these rubbish full deliveries from Ashwin. Is he trying to york them or something?

 

[harsh.ag]

160+ target and an England win is secure.

It seems like nothing much happens for long stretches then wickets tumble in bunches. Given what we've seen from India so far, 250 would be pretty safe I'd say.

Can't bear to look at the screen. All the good work by Bumrah and Shami, down the drain.

I think 200 and England are favs as they actually have a spinner who can take wickets. India for all there amazing ODI chases have not chased anything tricky in a fourth innings for a long time (outside Asia at least), and only have experience of blowing chases where at times they looked in control.

They haven't chased anything non-trivial anywhere. Could be something of a mental barrier they need to overcome at some point.

That's a good point.

Have India chased anything that would be considered tricky since King Laxman played?

 

[Daemon]

Ashwin's bowled the most overs this innings despite being the worst bowler on show. I'd rather Pandya honestly.

 

[fredfertang]

Stokes is trying too hard
