England v India | Match 38, World Cup | Edgbaston | 30th June, 2019 | Match Thread

[Arcturus]

Another 4 by kohli

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Question to Pakistani friends... how different does it feel backing Indian chase? I mean considering Kohli is there.. are you confident the batting team can pull it off?

 

[nosundries]

Who will hit those much needed sixes? Dhoni? Jadhav?

We got Rishabh Pant

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Boundary in every over required from here

Boundary in an over its is indeed ! And thats what they are doing

 

[tyron_woodley]

just chill. if these 2 are in there for another 10 overs. india will cruise through.

 

[babajee]

This is easy. Rohit hasn't even moved into fifth gear yet.

 

[King Kong]

Rashid has been an absolute passenger this wc. England deserve to lose with him in the XI.

Good question, definitely much more calm than watching our own batsmen chasing down a total ala the game vs India 2 weeks ago.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Oy me kya ji...nikalo in goro ko wc se ..
Itz badla timeee...pakistan ko bad me dekhenge

 

[FanofCricket]

Excellent bowl

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Good question, definitely much more calm than watching our pwn batsmen chasing down a total ala the game vs India 2 weeks ago.

Yeah.. Indian batsmen when they bat are much tighter for sure

I always like watching Rohit and Kohli play and till the time they are at the crease everything is possible.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Nope clearly playing to win here ....

Rrr of 8.64 is beyond this team.

 

[FanofCricket]

Rashid has been an absolute passenger this wc. England deserve to lose with him in the XI.

Moeen Ali could have been a much better choice.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Yeah.. you will understand Indian POW in these situations.. shows how good Kohli is!

 

[Nov15]

ENG were 30 ahead (180) at 25 over mark. India are 30 behind (120) at 25 overs.

 

[member250]

Question to Pakistani friends... how different does it feel backing Indian chase? I mean considering Kohli is there.. are you confident the batting team can pull it off?

India gave away 30-40 runs to many. In this road chasing 300 is doable but 338 look impossible.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Rrr of 8.64 is beyond this team.

Kindly be here to reply when they do win...

Baki sabko pta he game hard he,but you question thier intentions!they r playing for something else right now...and the name is india

 

[FanofCricket]

Rrr of 8.64 is beyond this team.

Not until pandya is there

 

[Ram Shekhar]

India gave away 30-40 runs to many. In this road chasing 300 is doable but 338 look impossible.

True to an extent.. tend to agree with you

 

[FanofCricket]

Two fours in a row

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Getting to 200 without losing a wicket by 35th and its game on

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Kohli should win this for India and ask Pakistani fans 'hor koi khidmat sadday layak?'

 

[FanofCricket]

 

[tyron_woodley]

Moeen Ali could have been a much better choice.

no moeen is trash.

 

[Titan24]

Yeah.. you will understand Indian POW in these situations.. shows how good Kohli is!

Considering how smoothly these two operate makes me remember seeing Yousuf and Inzi in the middle order for Pak as you were always confident that they are too good to get out softly.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Three back to back

 

[ads101]

Come on Rohit!

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Quality of Indian batsmanship on full show

 

[Fazzy321]

Need some sixes from Rohit

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Rohit owning the player of the tournament.

 

[Titan24]

These two are good enough to extract 20 runs of any over they want so as far as they stay, India is in the game.

 

[tyron_woodley]

rohit is so unfit? huffing and puffing lol. great player though.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

England panaking

 

[ads101]

Scoring at 8 an over is very possible even for 25 overs or so on this wicket if they're set. Game still very much on.

 

[FanofCricket]

India back in the game with this over

 

[DeadlyYorker]

rohit is so unfit? huffing and puffing lol. great player though.

He is not unfit, definitely not fit enough by kohli standards but good enough to be worthy of player of tournament

 

[Bilal7]

Kohli is the only likable character of this Indian team because he's pretty secular. I know Pakistan will reach the semis if they win today but I just cannot bring myself to support these oranges. Probably the first time in a long time where I'm a complete neutral.

 

[DRsohail]

Come ok neighbours.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Considering how smoothly these two operate makes me remember seeing Yousuf and Inzi in the middle order for Pak as you were always confident that they are too good to get out softly.

Inzi and Yousuf were great for you guys during 2000-2007... amazing player under pressure Inzi was

 

[BaaliSoda]

Sensible batting by Rohit and Virat.

Hope they continue this.

 

[saeed5646]

Thanks to root india are back into game .First root batted poorly and then drop rohit .

 

[FanofCricket]

more

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

 

[Fahdi]

Been a while since I read a conspiracy theory in this thread

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Guys doesn't matter who wins today..but Indian showing great fight..imagine we are chasing this total..just like yesterday..lol

 

[Sachin136]

Kohli is the only likable character of this Indian team because he's pretty secular. I know Pakistan will reach the semis if they win today but I just cannot bring myself to support these oranges. Probably the first time in a long time where I'm a complete neutral.

Pakistan won't reach the semis if India win today. Pakistan would still have to beat Bangladesh (unless England also lose to NZ).

 

[TheNightWatchman]

FTB Rohit is back. The English were mad thinking they could get away with a flat pitch against Rohit AND the best batsmen in the world

 

[BlackThunder]

Pakistani fans should feel blessed to witness actual proper batsman go about a chase. Must be nice for a change.

 

[Titan24]

Rohit is pure class and I guess seeing Kohli and Rohit bat together is as good as it gets in ODIs in terms of conventional textbook strokes.

 

[saeed5646]

Less than 200 to win .Excellent partnership

 

[Akki malhotra]

Kohli is the only likable character of this Indian team because he's pretty secular. I know Pakistan will reach the semis if they win today but I just cannot bring myself to support these oranges. Probably the first time in a long time where I'm a complete neutral.

Orange doest signify any damn thing dude. Be logical. Pakistan dress has been green through out history. So it signifies Islam and so it's not secular. So why you support Pakistan? India wore this jersey only today. And it doesn't explain iota.
Critical thinking people are very few in other side of border unfortunately.

Actually nobody cares if you support India or not. India will thrash Pakistan in semis too if they get there.

 

[Mp812]

Why is rashid bowling wrong lengths?

 

[Savak]

The batting strategy and the way Rohit and Kohli rotate the strike, take singles of every delivery and make use of loose deliveries is a treat to watch. If only Pakistani batsmen could watch and learn

 

[babajee]

Maybe you missed last match vs NZ

 

[MRSN]

Thanks to root india are back into game .First root batted poorly and then drop rohit .

Lesson to learn. Never give chance to a match winner like Rohit or Kohli.

 

[karthikc]

Bilal7 making some bizzare claims

 

[LegendAli]

Pakistan won't reach the semis if India win today. Pakistan would still have to beat Bangladesh (unless England also lose to NZ).

Even if England lose to NZ, Pak will still have to beat Bangladesh, a Bangla win will move them to 9 points moving to Semi with the better run rate.

 

[Bilal7]

Question to Pakistani friends... how different does it feel backing Indian chase? I mean considering Kohli is there.. are you confident the batting team can pull it off?

It'll be pretty nerve-wracking I think. Considering that once this partnership is broken, India are done for.

 

[MMHS]

India is well ahead in DWL now, though asking still is close to 8.5.

Have to leave now this wonderful chase - by the time I join,,,,

 

[pakistanisgreat]

What a game this turn out to be.

 

[Titan24]

Pakistan won't reach the semis if India win today. Pakistan would still have to beat Bangladesh (unless England also lose to NZ).

Even if Eng loses to NZ Pak would still have to beat BD which isnt an easy task. BD has experienced side, with good leader and has been really good in this WC so nothing can be said with confidence.

 

[AAli98]

Why is rashid bowling wrong lengths?

Trying to get his motherland Pak through the semis.. day of conspiracy today.

 

[geraltofrivia]

Maybe you missed last match vs NZ

also afghanistan

 

[FanofCricket]

Here comes archer

 

[DRsohail]

They will be definitely watching it today.

Thanks for the opinion. Appreciated

Coming from somone whose nation wont choose anything but green because of religion talks about being secular...talk about being neutral lol

 

[DRsohail]

Trying to get his motherland Pak through the semis.. day of conspiracy today.

It is Bangladesh not Pakistan.

 

[volcyz]

The drop by Root for Rohit has sealed Englands fate

 

[pakistanisgreat]

England desperately need of wickets

 

[Sirris]

As i guessed team india isn't as childish and petty as some pak experts had us believed

 

[Ronaldo7]

It is Bangladesh not Pakistan.

It is Pakistan. He's Pakistani by descent.

 

[DRsohail]

Coming from somone whose nation wont choose anything but green because of religion talks about being secular...talk about being neutral lol

Its his individual thinking.

 

[DRsohail]

It is Pakistan. He's Pakistani by descent.

He is Bangladeshi bro.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Need to get close to or above 6 runs per over before 35th over without losing any wicket.

 

[Tridibans_16]

What the hell you mean by "secular"? They are there to play cricket not community service.

By the way if you meant Hindutva by referring to oranges, Kohli is pehaps the most ardent Modi supporter in this lineup. He is mostly trolled by leftists in India for this.

 

[Ronaldo7]

He is Bangladeshi bro.

He's Pakistani.
I saw a vid of him with moeen and he said.

The green in Pakistan's flag does in fact, symbolize Islam. Regardless, I wasn't talking about their orange jerseys but just the whole attitude of the Indian team.
