***Official***Match #29 - India vs England- October 29th - Lucknow (D/N)

[Athlai]

Not losing wickets to Bumrah will be huge

 

[Andyhere]

Par 270 imo.

England fully capable of bottling this

There is a difference in being capable and actually being able to deliver

Lol at David Willey insta comments.

this pitch has turned the most in the WC

 

[Viscount Tom]

arguably, depends how much early assistance Woakes got and how much his counterparts will get

I think at 40/3 India would have settled for a 230 target, England probably would have wanted 200 but perhaps would settle for 230 given some of the targets they've either not chased or have set and not defended ie they're innit, until they bat of course!

I just think the pitch will do something for India's bowlers and our batsmen aren't in great nick to put it lightly.

 

[Shri]

is livingtone going to bat

has he fielded after his knee got stuck at all?

 

[BazBall21]

Bowling first on this pitch was obviously a big change in fortune but you still have to turn up and England applied themselves very well with both ball and in the field. Think this will be a tense chase...

 

[ashley bach]

Is England grinding out a win any good for them?

Happy to be corrected here but I'm thinking they need to bash their way there very quickly because even if they win their remaining games it's
coming down to NRR and it's very poor for them atm.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

100 run defeat incoming

 

[BazBall21]

Think on flat pitches against South Africa and New Zealand, England looked a tired team without Archer and Plunkett's firepower and an ageing batting lineup. England's game in the glory days (for the want of a less cheesy phrase) was to outgun opposition batting lineups on roads. In this tournament, they've looked quite unsuited to flat pitches. A condition-dependent attack and a tired top 6 that just isn't firing on all cylinders.

England will want to win for pride, I'm sure they don't want to finish bottom of the group

 

[White Ball]

Not a great score but England batting hasn’t been great it’s something to bowl at on this deck

 

[BazBall21]

Finally some dew apparently. Chasing seems to have been tougher than expected this tournament.

Yeah well that's ****ing pathetic if that's the case.

 

[centurymaker]

India 30-50 runs short.

 

[Andyhere]

It's really England's game to lose... Regardless of tough conditions 230 isn't a mountain to climb. India easily 30 runs short. 260-270 would have been ideal to put pressure on England.

Not so sure about that, England haven’t broken 200 in their last two games and that’s on flat decks. On this deck I reckon this is a 50-50

 

[ashley bach]

At the break:

England 1.66
India 2.50

Siraj needs to be dropped, if he continues to bowl waywardly this world cup.
