*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[Cow]

India favs. this is a 450 pitch

 

[Borges]

Woo, England fail by one run to reach the psychological barrier of 200.
Cricket is a stupid game; with even gluttons counting centuries instead of hamburgers. But that is the way it is.

 

[cnerd123]

Hardik proving penetrative, naturally needed the ball to have some work on it before he was able to burst through

This is a 180-190 pitch. England are ahead right now.

 

[garylyon]

They were worried about the grass cover and size of boundaries. Poor selection decision.

Another stupid shot by England. Just slog Plunkett !!!

I think they simply don't care about the T20s. Ravi Shastri has admitted just that in past.

 

[Jack1]

England will be happy with that I think and confident of defending it. Still managed 38 off the last 4 overs and 17 off the last 2. Just a shame Rashid missed out on the last 2 deliveries after hitting a boundary off his first, still I'll take 198/9. Made a mistake there with the typo and calculated wrong from it. England will have wanted 20 off the last 2 really.

Difficult chase for India. Chasing 200 or more is rare in t20. 199 to win.

He might not care personally, or he's trying to put a positive spin on something. It's clear the squad, players and fans do. Kohli and Dhoni very much care, as do the rest of them.

When it comes to representing your country in any format all the players care. And many are specialists to the format. To say they don't care is just nonsense basically.

 

[kingkallis]

India will chase this down in 17 overs.

 

[Borges]

This is the kind of pitch on which Starc or Rabada would do well.

They definitely care. Australian fans often use the 'don't care' thing when they get dicked in LO games and I find it pretty annoying so I don't want to come across like that.

However I do find it very hard to believe that they think they've gone in with their the best XI. And therefore they haven't placed as much value on this game as they will in the ODIs and definitely the Tests.

They defs do care though.

Kohli said Jadhav was dropped because of the pitch and ground dimensions and that Bhuvi was injured. I don't get this "don't care" thing. Kohli wants to win everything.

 

[vcs]

They should bloody care. This is a top-class England limited overs side and a great test to assess where they are in terms of the World Cup next year.

 

[fredfertang]

Jordan demonstrating how easy it is if you don't take your eyes off the ball

 

[Cow]

Chris Jordan should try and another sport while he is still relatively young.

 

[Borges]

That is a tremendous catch; the kind of catch that wins games.

 

[Mr Miyagi]

Great over by Stokes.

I obviously over rated Kohli's intelligence then.

 

[Mr Miyagi]

Rashid having a poor day out.

England's better in the field, but they need a wicket soon as VK and Rohit are scoring freely.

 

[Daemon]

Who's the Indian commentator? Keeps saying Rashid Khan instead of Adil.

Turbanator Bhaji I think.
