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

[Napa]

India's win predictor has increased from 22% to 28% over the last hour.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

This can be an interesting chase if India keeps wickets in hand till 40th over.

 

[Crickeet]

India have this in the bag, easy style. Dhoni will ice cube them through.

 

[zains_rulez]

Common man show some respect to the game..no team has chased 300 plus..at least kholi is professional he wouldn't loss deliberately. Plus there is no proof to prove that

its been whole tournament but i never saw dhoni/indian fielders going for such laziness in field

 

[Bilal7]

We can't go through on run rate you have to understand can be beat bng by 500 runs no impossible our best chance is if eng lose either to India or nz.

It's not just about Pakistan winning by a big enough margin, it is also about New Zealand losing heavily. However, England losing a match is easier for Pakistan.

 

[chuck]

It looks easy but they aren’t pushing hard. Basir?

 

[nosundries]

I dont even pray for Pakistan to win, better things to ask God for than a sports match win lol.

Thankfully Rohit Sharma is playing to win and not thinking like lame Indians wanting their own team to lose so Pakistan may not qualify.

Who wants India to lose .. All the people I know are nervously watching the game and want India to win .. No one is even talking about the Pakistani angle in this ..

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

The 4 years dont mean squat if they keep faltering in the wc. The team doesnt deserve ish. No one does.

Ur constant whinning is really annoying. And its not like ur a dumb guy. Yet u keep going on about eng thit eng that.

 

[pillionrider]

I dont even pray for Pakistan to win, better things to ask God for than a sports match win lol.

But I didn't say that you are praying right now

 

[KingKhanWC]

Drinks.

Morgan needs to get his plans 100% spot on in this last phase.

Simple for India, Rohit bats through, the rest hit out.

 

[Sunzi]

Fantastic chase temprament but it's a stiff, stiff task this...

A couple big overs in and amongst the way they're playing would properly set it up...

Just feel this is too big an ask.

 

[Sultanofswing]

There is no point of injuring yourself for not so important match. I say it was a right approach. They play to win world cup. This match is a part of it. They are not playing to make Pakistan qualify.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Who wants India to lose .. All the people I know are nervously watching the game and want India to win .. No one is even talking about the Pakistani angle in this ..

An Indian fan here questioned why India should try to win.

But I didn't say that you are praying right now

Please dont say anything , you've confused yourself as much as me.

 

[Hasan123]

Come on Pant.

 

[Bilal7]

According to [MENTION=129948]Bilal7[/MENTION] "Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid deserve to go down in history as world cup finalists or outright winners".

it is this type of mindset why our cricket and country as a whole is falling behind, because we have individuals like him who will judge others on religious practices over meritocracy. Yet he has the nerve to tell Indians to be secular.

You couldn't make this up

'Our cricket is falling behind' - Says this after Pakistan have beaten England, New Zealand and South Africa in this world-cup already and will likely qualify for the semi-finals, InshaAllah.

'Our country as a whole is falling behind' - Says this while there remains a Union Jack plastered on his face.

Someone is seriously confused.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

its been whole tournament but i never saw dhoni/indian fielders going for such laziness in field

Probably becuase this is the only match where others perfomance concerns your team and you are keen to watch it.
We have watched our team all these matches,its the same just like anyother match.
Btw what you have to say on jadeja's lazy catch?

 

[Hasan123]

Just need to see Plunkett off.

 

[nosundries]

An Indian fan here questioned why India should try to win.

Then he is not a fan if he wants his team to lose .. Whatever maybe the reason ..

 

[pillionrider]

Please dont say anything , you've confused yourself as much as me.

Ok. Pretty tense huh

 

[KingKhanWC]

The odds have dropped for an Indian win from 6-1 to 3-1.

 

[Arcturus]

:100 by Rohit

 

[Hasan123]

100 for Rohit. Usually once he gets a 100, he really switches gears!!!

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Hitman ....nowntime to up the gear

 

[Kianig89]

Eng will win this too.big a task.now for InD

 

[topspin]

The odds have dropped for an Indian win from 6-1 to 3-1.

i.e. 17% -> 25%

 

[B_Positive]

Rohit reaches 100. Beware England

 

[Hasan123]

Pant should take chances. Rohit needs to bat through.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Very good hundred after a testing start.

Can he convert it into a match wining one?

 

[Kianig89]

Any AFGhanis in the stands supporting India

 

[Ronaldo7]

Kohli still has no century. Rohit has 3

 

[member250]

I think scoring 10 per over for 15 is very very difficult. And RRR is likely to be above 12 in last 6-7 overs.

 

[nosundries]

Not much of a celebration from Rohit on the 100 .. He has the bigger picture in mind which is winning the Game ..

 

[Hasan123]

Rashid has overs left. I think Pant will target him.

 

[Kianig89]

Eng team composition still not 100% thin on spin

 

[Kaptain]

150 needed from 15.

I would love to see us win but can't see it happening.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Looks difficult for india..first loss for india in the wc

 

[Leeon1994]

Any AFGhanis in the stands supporting India

They are busy fighting each other outside the stadium.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Bad day for pant eh?

 

[Bilal7]

To be fair, they're only in this situation because of a terrible batting performance against Sri Lanka. Other than that, they've been one of the best teams of the world cup. Both Pakistan and England deserve to make the semis.

 

[KingKhanWC]

i.e. 17% -> 25%

Bookes always feel wickets in hand is a huge advantage even with with such a required rr. One falls here and the odds will go to something like 8-1.

 

[JibranAnsari]

so all depends upon newzealand now to win against england to have any chance for us.

 

[topspin]

As expected can't address the post. I will ask you again what are your motives for hyping up Moeen Ali so much? It certainly isn't his cricket because he's been England's worst player in the tournament.

 

[pillionrider]

Not much of a celebration from Rohit on the 100 .. He has the bigger picture in mind which is winning the Game ..

No. The bigger picture is for Dhoni to come in and finish what he and Kohli started

 

[Hasan123]

Pant trying to hit the ball too hard.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is over 10

 

[Mueez]

What a runmachine Sharma is.

 

[topspin]

Bookes always feel wickets in hand is a huge advantage even with with such a required rr. One falls here and the odds will go to something like 8-1.

Indeed

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

RR is 10.

And Pant is tuk tuking. Come on Pant you are a big hitter. This is where you have to prove yourself.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Pant )

This guy is a danger to himself.

 

[Asif321]

Pant is a tulla T20s player
Don’t know why he is so hyped

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Now people will say pant threw his bat on purpose..lol

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Pant needs to calm down now and give the strike to Rohit.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Pant is swinging for it.. downside of his batting.. he looks real bad when he's not timing them

 

[Hasan123]

Better from Pant.

 

[babajee]

Pant is looking like Hussain Talat here

 

[KingKhanWC]

Absolute hack, wonder why they selected him, seems dodgy.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

When it comes off, he looks like a miillion dollars..

 

[AdamM97]

What a runmachine Sharma is.

Got lucky again. First against Pakistan with that throw at the wrong end from Fakhar and now the drop catch from Root.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pant gets that away

 

[Zeshan547]

For Pak sake, Hitman, Pant and Pandya have to fire till the end, this is hard but not impossible

 

[Leeon1994]

That bat had almost hit Buttler

 

[KingKhanWC]

Law of averages swinging wood comes to his help.

Needs to hit out or get out.

 

[Bilal7]

I think scoring 10 per over for 15 is very very difficult. And RRR is likely to be above 12 in last 6-7 overs.

Especially with ODI players.

 

[pillionrider]

Absolute hack, wonder why they selected him, seems dodgy.

You need to be a good Pakistani fan and stick to analyzing bowling

 

[Justcrazy]

Got lucky again. First against Pakistan with that throw at the wrong end from Fakhar and now the drop catch from Root.

These things are part of game.

 

[Hasan123]

Pant is a x factor player. Anyday I'll have him in my line up over Shankar or Jahdav.

 

[JibranAnsari]

is pant a good batsman?

 

[Kaptain]

Pant is a tulla T20s player
Don’t know why he is so hyped

New age T20 followers cream their pants at him.

Gill and Shaw are far superior.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

As expected can't address the post. I will ask you again what are your motives for hyping up Moeen Ali so much? It certainly isn't his cricket because he's been England's worst player in the tournament.

Want truth? You know what it is...if moeen convert to christianity or hinduism he will start to bash him...yed its the green colour...therr i said it

 

[Itachi]

pant is a legside hack.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pant is a proper tullaybaaz. Reminds me of that Pakistani opener Rafatullah(?).

 

[topspin]

Pant is a x factor player. Anyday I'll have him in my line up over Shankar or Jahdav.

Would certainly walk into Pakistan's team ahead of Sarfraz

 

[Hasan123]

Wasnt a good shot. But 4 nonetheless.

 

[Kianig89]

They are busy fighting each other outside the stadium.

Ok because yesterday they acted like e$(0rts of India

 

[Leeon1994]

Pant looks atrocious with those shots but he is making them work nonetheless

 

[DeadlyYorker]

New age T20 followers cream their pants at him.

Gill and Shaw are far superior.

Shaw is superior of them all ,noone denies that but problem is he is opner and we have good opening pair thats why he isnt hyped

 

[Justcrazy]

India need Pant , Dhoni and Pandya to fire here

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Pant is going for the leather.. comical batting

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pant is a x factor player. Anyday I'll have him in my line up over Shankar or Jahdav.

Like Afridi?

 

[AdamM97]

Shocked to see such a poor average in T20I from Pant. In IPL, he is such a beast.
