More like Curators responded the right way after his whining.

Nice excuse

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

We believe in Satner.
We believe in Martin Guptill.
We believe in Munro.

Hahah yeshhh

Abhi k liay i am trying to believe in Pandya too

 

[jnaveen1980]

We believe in Satner.
We believe in Martin Guptill.
We believe in Munro.

First of all their batting sucks big time lol

 

[Mueez]

No one worked harder than England. They completely revamped their ODI team in 2015 and prepared very hard for this moment. They also proved people wrong by winning a series in Australia and New Zealand, when people thought that they can only win.

I agree with this.

It would be very unfortunate for them to not go to the semis biases aside.

They have completely changed their LO game.

 

[Hasan123]

Think Jahdav will be used against the left handers.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Would they have performed the same on a spinning track?

Or a green tinged pitch?

On a green pitch any team can struggle. If this was a spinning track no. England are not great on turning tracks, their record will reflect it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bumrah has a few overs left. Shami will have some overs with old ball. They can come back.

 

[Amirforpresident]

A fresh pitch lol

And if he didn't cry, would they get an used pitch?

 

[hussain.r97]

Not looking good for Pakistan. Don't think India can chase anything above 350, and New Zealand aren't likely to pose a threat to England unless they get a green track.

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

NZ have no incentive to perform against england. Indians throwing this game is a dead rubber and good to seal the fate of the top four - AUS IND NZ ENG

 

[IAJ]

With wickets in hand, 200 after 30 overs should be converted to 400

 

[jnaveen1980]

Run rate has gone below 7 . Good now bring it down to 6.5

 

[sweep_shot]

England can score 400 if they can score big against Bumrah.

 

[Mueez]

India needs Wahab Riaz and Starc right now...

Reverse swing is the key.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ have no incentive to perform against england. Indians throwing this game is a dead rubber and good to seal the fate of the top four - AUS IND NZ ENG

NZ won't even have to win. But England has to win. THey must bring their A game again on most likely a flat pitch.

 

[hussain.r97]

India needs Wahab Riaz and Starc right now...

Reverse swing is the key.

Doesn't Shami reverse it?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

England have reached Rohit Sharma’s par score

 

[B_Positive]

Manys Indians have got to 200. Has anyone hit 200 vs India yet? Baristow has an amazing chance today

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Dont see England scoring more than 350.

And India should chase it!!!

 

[shah_1]

I thought you were trolling, but I can see you are genuinely dumb. This is the equation - read it carefully

I predicted, few days back -

1 AUS 16 points (1 loss)
2 IND 15 points (1 loss, 1 wash out)
3 ENG 12 points
4 NZ 11 points, despite losing last 2 (now 1) and whatever BD, PAK does in remaining 3 games, because their NRR is too good

If Poms win today, they'll be on 10 and 1 game against Kiwis - unless they lose that, even a wash out takes them to 11 and Kiwis to 12 - both has much, much better NRR (To cover that PAK'll need to win inside 12 overs or by 350+ margin, which I don't think they are that ******** to do).

Only slim chance that PAK has (if Poms win today) is beating BD, and then expect Kiwis to beat Poms - first one is in their hand though - first let them do that.

I misread your post.

if they win today, then almost certainly NZ

thought you meant that if India wins today then NZ them will face in the Semis, obviously that meant Bangladesh will win Pakistan.

No need to be so aggressive about it

 

[Mamoon]

I agree with this.

It would be very unfortunate for them to not go to the semis biases aside.

They have completely changed their LO game.

We don’t respect the game. We are fools to think we can waddle into the World Cup after playing like minnows for 2 years and go all the way, because everything will fall in place at the right moment.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India needs Wahab Riaz and Starc right now...

Reverse swing is the key.

That is what shami is there for

 

[FanofCricket]

I think we should look forward to eng vs nz now as this game is already done and dusted for India.

 

[Titan24]

India needs Wahab Riaz and Starc right now...

Reverse swing is the key.

If ball is reversing Shami is also pretty decent but not sure if it is reversing or gonna reverse

 

[jnaveen1980]

Thank you Root 21(22)

 

[Mueez]

That is what shami is there for

Shami deserved a wicket in his initial spell.

Hopefully he can make the ball talk with his second spell.

 

[Mueez]

If ball is reversing Shami is also pretty decent but not sure if it is reversing or gonna reverse

Should reverse especially the thrashing the ball has got

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hope Butler never bats today

 

[FanofCricket]

Indian players are laughing and are much happier with the given situation

 

[Arcturus]

England have been amazingly lucky today

 

[jnaveen1980]

Run rate is now 6.58

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

How are they not reviewing that? lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian players are laughing and are much happier with the given situation

They know they can come back. Pandya has come back well. Chahal has done okay in this over.

 

[IAJ]

RR going in wrong direction for Poms

 

[Snatch]

NZ are hurting. Come on NZ

You should worry less about NZ and more about Pakistan.

NZ are going to make the semis again. They won't go any further after that, but at least they make the top 4.

 

[shah_1]

India is loving that Root is batting right now

 

[Hasan123]

Shami back on.

 

[andy0204]

Grandpa misses stumping

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

Need agent Shami kebab to get us a few wickets

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

19 overs to go 9 wkts in hand. England can easily get to 360

 

[FanofCricket]

Shami is back but it's too late

 

[Snatch]

England have been amazingly lucky today

Good teams always seem to be lucky.

Good players make their own luck.

 

[Mean&Green]

Bumrah has a few overs left. Shami will have some overs with old ball. They can come back.

Yes they can come back to get smashed as well cricket is a team game after all those runs conceded bumrah conceded 10 runs in his comeback over which shows you no matter how good you are if your team isn’t backing you up it will take a toll on you as well

 

[Mueez]

We don’t respect the game. We are fools to think we can waddle into the World Cup after playing like minnows for 2 years and go all the way, because everything will fall in place at the right moment.

Here’s hoping the deserving one wins the WC.

All teams have played well out of their skins except SA.

 

[BaankeJi]

India needs Wahab Riaz and Starc right now...

Reverse swing is the key.

Wahab Riaz is a must for sure.

 

[IAJ]

Hope Butler never bats today

When the team is upto good start he can get out cheaply, not focussing enough

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

This pitch might offer sumthing to bowlers wen india bat so very important for india to restrict england

 

[FanofCricket]

Same england has been smashed by pakistan

 

[Hasan123]

Kohli should put a slip in.

 

[Crickeet]

Go England go! Always good to see India get hammered.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Against pakistan 201/4 England after 32 overs. Now Against India 205/1 in 31.2 overs. After so much battering they have come back decently.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

India coming back

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

A Shami burst with 2 wkts cud pull things back quickly

 

[jnaveen1980]

Same england has been smashed by pakistan

They scored 334.. Pakistan bowling smashed every time.

 

[FanofCricket]

Shami gets the wicket

 

[saeed5646]

Break through for india

 

[B_Positive]

India clawing back in the game

 

[Hasan123]

Lol that was predictable from Bairstow.

 

[Sunzi]

Shami Kebabs and Kulchas. Yum yum.

 

[Green Patriot]

Shami

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

New batsmen wud find hard to settle with india bowling well. So need 2 quick wkts

 

[Mueez]

A wicket or two at this stage would change the game.

As I write Bairstow is out.

 

[FanofCricket]

 

[shah_1]

Wicket because of Root

Don't bring Root when there is a platform like that

 

[GLORY OF '92]

England are choking now

 

[szundercover]

Shami Kebabs and Kulchas. Yum yum.

Hahahahaha

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

India have come back strongly, good fight back

 

[IAJ]

Bairstow gone, it was on the cards. Wicket already gone tough to bat on

 

[RainStopsPlay]

After all those heroics the crybaby ended up with 100 SR.

 

[Mean&Green]

If I was Bairstow I would be ****** off like u were smashing these bowlers for fun what randomly happened terrible way to end his innings

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Shami meri jaan <3

2-3 more wickets plss

 

[FanofCricket]

New batsmen wud find hard to settle with india bowling well. So need 2 quick wkts

Even if they are all out they will sneak through to 320 at least

 

[K4Kohli]

Shami bhai

 

[Titan24]

Mich Atherton analyzed how Bairstow targeted the short boundaries from both the ends but Manjerker raised a valid question that why such a pitch with pretty uneven dimensions is being used for such an important game of the WC 19.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indians have got the sense of the pitch now. Too bad India wasted all the overs of Kuldeep. Against new guys he could have been very handy.

 

[szundercover]

I really hate bairstow he is an arrogant brat.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Excellent foundation set..

370 on cards easy

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Need to restrict them to 330 somehow

 

[Mean&Green]

Indians have got the sense of the pitch now. Too bad India wasted all the overs of Kuldeep. Against new guys he could have been very handy.

But England will 300+ regardless it’s just gonna be a difference of 20 or 40 more or less so do you think India can chase it ?

 

[B_Positive]

Today is like South Asia vs England. India better win. Everyone supporting India. Rare to see
