This could be a 400 total if this pair stay in for at least another 10 overs.

 

[silentstriker]

That’s a great shot. They’re definitely on top of Kuldeep right now. It’ll be great to see how he responds over the tournament because I think now all the teams will go after him.

Factually incorrect

An aspect that makes world cups gun

 

[Burgey]

This is the answer to Kuldeep. First whiff of grape shot and he’s crumbled like a Sao in blender. Temperamentally unsound

Siraj too. Seems to react if you get under his skin. I remember him having a bit of a temper in tests but in a knock-out his brain is something to revisit imo.

 

[ataraxia]

Oh Rachin. Kohli looked envious.

If these two are still in after 35 overs I'd be sending in Phillips rather than Latham.

Depends who falls imo

 

[Adorable Asshole]

What are they chanting? I can't hear

 

[Athlai]

India wasting a lot of time

 

[Flem274*]

This ground and its setting is fantastic btw. I know the coverage is obsessed with that river stock footage but this is a gun place to play against a gun Indian team.

 

[thundaboult]

hahahahaha you beauty daz!!!

I think he does better with it. He does get angry but I don’t think his bowling falls away. But we will see. The combination of WC pressure and expectations at home and a couple bad outings can really work on you.

Wish there was one grass bank though.

Also would've been cool to see a guptill or Gayle hit a six off this mountain the ground seems to be on

Has he bowled particularly badly? I think they’re just handling him really well and decided to go after him on a pitch that doesn’t offer him much.

 

[Silver Silva]

Can't even blame our batsmen much for this poor start, it's just been relentless pressure from the Indian pace bowlers so far.

No Hardik or Thakur to release the pressure here and it won't get much easier with the Indian spin bowlers either.

We will be doing well to score 250.

The last year Hardik Pandya has taken 27 wickets @ 22.07

Hasnt settled into a rhythm (not that hes been woeful)

 

[King Kane]

The crowd noise has got louder with a full house there now but they still can't drown out the noise of those bloody horns.

Yeah I can't recall him falling apart after getting mad either, so the wides today were something I noted.

Still though, not bad to be able to fall back on Bumrah, Jadeja and Shami...
