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

[Mueez]

I will join the second innings.

Off to study

 

[Nikhil_cric]

You still have the best player in the world.

We have Rohit and Kohli but we need Dhawan and a couple more to match England on flat tracks. They are too explosive.

 

[jagatk]

It is easy to say it was out after replays.In real time is not that easy,there was no noise.Generally umpires are pretty good but we shouldn't expect them to be 100% correct all the time.There will always be poor decisions occasionally

Anyone with ears heard a clear edge in real time the first time around. Also this is now the 2nd review in world cup that dhoni has torpedoed.

 

[QalandarFan]

Oh yaar even my guy Kuldeep gets hit! I'll be back when King Kohli is finishing up chasing down the biggest total in WC history!

 

[Tiger96]

All these runs are hurting Pak fans more than the Indians )

 

[Kaptan]

I get a feeling, its Kuldeeps crying day. :'(

 

[Inswing]

Wow talk about the best bowling attack

 

[DRsohail]

Thisbis gonna dismantle Indian team specially the spinners

 

[Hawkeye]

Eng showing how to treat IND spinners.

 

[IAJ]

Hafeez would have sent this fulltoss straight to the fielder

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

For the first time Indian bowling getting dominated.

 

[andy0204]

Pakistan brothers pray for rain this is your only chance to enter semifinal

 

[Ramsay]

Loving it! Go England Go!

 

[Hawkeye]

All these runs are hurting Pak fans more than the Indians )

That's true.

 

[QalandarFan]

We have Rohit and Kohli but we need Dhawan and a couple more to match England on flat tracks. They are too explosive.

Kohli = 7 English Batsman

 

[Markhor]

Kuldeep whacked for 13 off his first over. England look well set for 320+ on this road.

 

[shah_1]

Not really.

They have got a flat pitch today. If they get a balanced pitch, this team will struggle even against Bangladesh.

England problem has been that they were not mentally strong in eariler games, this win will open them up. Same England batsmen were smashing spinners in IPL.

Semi final and final will not be used pitch

 

[Mean&Green]

Yeah I’m wondering why they all decided not to take that review the smile on the face of Hardik said he knew it’s out

 

[Captain caveman]

Exactly.

WC is survival of the fittest.

Bad quote as we are definetly not the fittest, but i know what you mean!
A better quote would be -
Only the ones who can adapt better will survive.

 

[szundercover]

I am still confident that a collapse is invetible and adding pant in the 11 might prove a turning point for india.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Certainly not been India's day so far..

 

[QalandarFan]

Pakistan brothers pray for rain this is your only chance to enter semifinal

No because England's NRR is better than ours.

 

[andy0204]

Where are grandpa's tips behind the stumps?

 

[Abdullah719]

Brother Kohli is due a big knock in a World Cup chase... insha'Allah today will be his day. King Kohli!

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan brothers pray for rain this is your only chance to enter semifinal

Not a drop of rain is forecast today at Edgbaston.

 

[Gullycricket]

Hafeez would have sent this fulltoss straight to the fielder

Yeah with perfect timing

 

[Captain caveman]

Bad quote as we are definetly not the fittest, but i know what you mean!
A better quote would be -
Only the ones who can adapt better will survive.

Sorry not survive -
PROSPER!

Semis are not too far so you might be worried about your team losing momentum .Your competition aus are playing every match like final and there is reason they are doing that

 

[BaaliSoda]

50 runs in the last 5 overs, very depressing.

Edit: Make it 57 in the last 5.3 overs

 

[Ronaldo7]

Don't care if pak get knocked out coz of this. Loving this phainti)

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

LOL India this is just getting better

 

[jnaveen1980]

This ***** Dhoni is going to cost us a lot. Idiot. This is an absolute road they wanted.

 

[DRsohail]

Pant again??

 

[BreadPakoda]

Where are grandpa's tips behind the stumps?

He just gave one and we lost an opportunity to use DRS for a wicket.

 

[MMHS]

Roy is probably the most important player for Poms - he sets up the game for them. With that line-up, it near impossible to contain them if openers give 100 at 7

 

[Kriketer]

Come on England score 500!!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Don't care if pak get knocked out coz of this. Loving this phainti)

Did you enjoy the phainty for 6 matches in a row. Atleast your bowling conceded 300 plus to them 5 or 6 times to them as well on similar roads.

 

[szundercover]

Restrict england to 320 and india can still win it.

 

[Gullycricket]

Don't care if pak get knocked out coz of this. Loving this phainti)

Yeah this is tough not to enjoy

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan played 5 ODIs on this kind of wickets, no Wonder the bowlers were killed

 

[WebGuru]

I guess India ko yeh new kit raas nae ayee.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hope INdian FTBs give them right back today. We have Pant today as well

 

[Hasan123]

Junior [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] in the house

It's the truth. You just don't want to accept it.

Even if you don't want to accept that , it's our own fault we are in this situation. We lost to West Indies who have only beaten us . Also being thrashed by India didn't help our NRR.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Aleem Dar has killed my interest in this match, derailed both India and Pakistan's hopes.

No one heard the noise. That is why India did not review. Nothing going for India so far.

 

[Tiger96]

Semis are not too far so you might be worried about your team losing momentum .Your competition aus are playing every match like final and there is reason they are doing that

Oh please, momentum has to be built because your Sarfi boys can qualify for the Semis.

Hamari fikar sodo. Ghar Jaane ki tayari Karo

 

[battler]

400 on the cards boys!

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Where are grandpa's tips behind the stumps?

As of now kohli is giving tips to spinner but as soon as they start picking wickets, dhoni tips will be the reason.

 

[Madplayer]

Indian team saffronised :

 

[IMMY69]

India looking distinctly average...
Only chance they have is winning the toss and batting first.

 

[Captain caveman]

Not a drop of rain is forecast today at Edgbaston.

We are having a 3 day heatwave!
Rain will not help anyway, as if both pak and england finish on 11 points, england will qualify due to better run rate.
Pak to beat bangladesh
And NZ to beat england
Is our only chance!

 

[Hawkeye]

350 - 400 is definitely ON here.

No matter how good IND is at chasing, they will have to chase the highest ever total in World Cups today, and I don't see that happening.

Bad luck to PAK fans, now pin your hopes on the NZ match.

 

[Markhor]

Roy and Bairstow opening partnership is key for England's WC chances. Buttler and Stokes will come in with the perfect platform now instead of coming in early.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Just hitting through the line. Same shots didn't come off against Srilanka lol

 

[ekpakistani]

Flat track bullies doing what they do best

 

[Tiger96]

Hope England scores 430 . NZ ko toh sambhal hi lenge next match main

 

[saeed5646]

Did you enjoy the phainty for 6 matches in a row. Atleast your bowling conceded 300 plus to them 5 or 6 times to them as well on similar roads.

So is india playing today on same road .look at chahal figures 5 over 45 runs

 

[Gullycricket]

500 today please

 

[Mean&Green]

Yeah the typical England had to show up when we needed them not to ughhhhhhb

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This pitch is perfect for England

 

[Mueez]

Pakistan almost pulled of 375 runchase here.

Surely India can do it too...?

 

[Fahdi]

Flat road with somewhat small boundaries. England is the most dangerous team in the world in these conditions. I'm starting to lose hope.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Jai Hind. Come on Bumrah, Chak de phadday!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

So Dhoni's tips to bowlers only work on helpful decks. What a useful cricketer he is currently

 

[Captain caveman]

400 on the cards boys!

Maybe 500 if buttler and stokes go CRAZY!

 

[Pk716]

Kohli won't learn. Bowling this useless Pandya again and again. Shankar would have bowled well here but who cares?

I think shankar has a niggle (hope they are telling the truth) .

 

[QalandarFan]

Only on PakPassion do people say matches are over within the first 20 overs of the match. )

 

[Ronaldo7]

Did you enjoy the phainty for 6 matches in a row. Atleast your bowling conceded 300 plus to them 5 or 6 times to them as well on similar roads.

You enjoyed us getting a phainti we'll enjoy your phainti.

 

[RainStopsPlay]

India still have two games against weaker sides and I don't really bother if we lose it here today as long England ends Pak's semi final hopes.

 

[jnaveen1980]

INdia chased 359 against England not so long ago. Jadhav scored 120 in 70 balls.

 

[Kaptan]

Don't worry boys.
This is a patta pitch. I fully back Rohit and Kohli to chase this and save our parosis from elimination.

 

[Asif321]

Crazy from England
Indian bowlers have no idea what to do

 

[Hasan123]

Yes it’s our fault the rain came and robbed us of a point. Tu rehnde. We’ll be unlucky to miss out on the semis even after beating Eng, SA, NZ and BD.

We got thrashed by India and West Indies. If those games our NRR wouldn't have been so far behind NZ.

So it's not our fault we are in this situation, then going by your theory it's not our brilliant cricket that has us here. Had England beaten Sri Lanka we would nearly be out anyway.

 

[castortroy]

I'm sorry but I don't think I can support India today.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Bring back Bumrah please

 

[jnaveen1980]

You enjoyed us getting a phainti we'll enjoy your phainti.

This phainti will have zero impact on India's fortunes lol They might very well chase this one down. I kidna back them to chase.

 

[saeed5646]

Oh please, momentum has to be built because your Sarfi boys can qualify for the Semis.

Hamari fikar sodo. Ghar Jaane ki tayari Karo

Meh acha excuse hai bhai phainty kafi enjoy kr raha hoga?

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

England Showing how to deal with spinners....I hope they score in excess of 400 today.

 

[Captain caveman]

Only on PakPassion do people say matches are over within the first 20 overs of the match. )

Because we are experts, learn from us!

 

[Technics 1210]

It's the truth. You just don't want to accept it.

Even if you don't want to accept that , it's our own fault we are in this situation. We lost to West Indies who have only beaten us . Also being thrashed by India didn't help our NRR.

Hindsight is a great thing.
