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

[Mamoon]

Pakistan scored it against Eng bowling attack and Pak bowlers restricted their best batting line up including Roy from chasing it down so that makes Pakistan bowling at least better thn England : )

England are going to the semifinals and Pakistan are going home, but we can take solace from the notion that our bowling attack is better.

 

[pakistani pride]

Isn't this the ground we played NZ on? And the ball was turning square? Dafuq is going on here?

Morgan and ENG cried so they got their road.

 

[Sirris]

No one should be surprised if India lose this 1 game only of their RR games.
I mean they know how much it would help Pakistan if they win today. How much it can potentially hurt if they lose.

India losing this game without a doubt in my mind.

I believe in Kohli's leadership. The Indian team isn't so petty. Unlike social media warriors from India.

 

[Hasan123]

Bumrah still has 5 overs left.

 

[FanofCricket]

Reverse sweep

Your an absolute disgrace man.
Pathetic loser atiitude.

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

sense a big shot coming...

 

[Mueez]

I think he was already playing through the worst phase of injury, will hopefully get better by then. His batting down the order is important for us along with his obvious control on reverse swing.

Amazing to see how he has turned up during the biggest stage of cricket.

I have become fan of him.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

India well back in this. Important for them to finish of well. As with 13 overs left we cud still see england post a 330 plus total. Game might be decided in these last 12 overs. Rest of bowlers need to support bumrah and shami

 

[SaadAliG]

Indian bowlers proving you don’t have to be 6”4 to be a great fast bowler these two bumrah and shami probably the best two fast bowlers of this last decade

Easy there buddy.

 

[WebGuru]

How much did they score against India?

I was talking about England bowling attack see the context of my last few posts.

 

[desi_launda]

Stokes is getting impatient

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Great come back, but damage probably already done. Kuldeep's overs are gone and Poms should reach 330 here. But, great comeback indeed, brilliant by Shami, brought IND in the game.

If India can restrict them to 310, it is game on.

I can't reply to all of you individually so i will reply here-

Mamoon isn’t it a bit early to say Pakistan is going home?

 

[Hasan123]

Need Stokes out.

 

[desi_launda]

Chahal has been poor after match vs RSA

If you are wrong will you leave the forum ?

 

[BaankeJi]

Why?

Because religion should not be brought into sports.

 

[Titan24]

True. He has generally proved to do well under pressure and that is why his bowling record in WCs is really impressive.

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

cmon lads.....build the dots...

 

[gani999]

Very good comeback by India on this pitch. Now even 300 is looking difficult.

 

[ShahKhan007]

A Kohli special is a must if India is to chase this target. The way the pitch is playing anything below 350 attainable as long Kohli or Rohit play a big innings.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Don’t slide it into Root’s pads

 

[BaankeJi]

I am with you on this.

Pakistani fans today:



Only because their team is too incompetent to qualify on their own might. You have to pity the misery of Pakistani fans.

Kohli is a different player now, he is not the same hitter as he was around 2013-2017

 

[Mamoon]

Mamoon isn’t it a bit early to say Pakistan is going home?

Maybe it is. Time will tell.

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

still some distance to go and a lot of water to go under the bridge....abhi poori phillum baaki hai mere dost....cheers

 

[Titan24]

English batsmen are leaving too much on Buttler in terms of upping the anti

 

[Hasan123]

Root and Stokes upping the intensity in the running.

 

[bluevision]

Poor DK and Jaddu.. only get to field, na bowling na batting

 

[BaankeJi]

I see blue Chand sitara flags. What are they?

 

[Mamoon]

If you are wrong will you leave the forum ?

No, I will get criticised and mocked which is the norm for me. It doesn't bother me anymore.

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Pandya has proved me wrong today. Bowled a decent spell unlike his usual rubbish.

 

[Mean&Green]

U gotta be really pasisonate to come watch a cricket game all the way from the USA lol who would wanna watch a game of cricket for 8 hours in the stands after travelling that much

 

[Hasan123]

Pandya has come back very well after a poor start.

If Pakistan gets to semis, they will win the cup

 

[Mean&Green]

Yoo I sense a england loss here they are barely gonna get 300 [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] score predictions they only have 8 points I just remembered they lose this they done

 

[MMHS]

If India can restrict them to 310, it is game on.

This is a much drier wicket. What Shami did with old ball, I am sure ENG pacers will get something out of it also. These type of wicket is best for batting against new ball and ENG has maximized the advantage. 310 indeed is game on.

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

cmon yuzi

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

11 overs to go. England will be aiming for 320

 

[Hasan123]

Stokes is the danger man here.

 

[bluevision]

Pandya is doing a decent job.. spinners duo have been disappointing

 

[sweep_shot]

England digging their own grave. Anything below 320 should easily be chased down by India.

 

[AdamM97]

Looked like England would get 400 at one point, now it's more like 330-340.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Chahal been really dissapointing today

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

pathetic half tracker.....and he's not happy with the fielder....

 

[Hasan123]

Bumrah will surely be on in the next over.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Maybe kedar jadhav cud come on and bowl 1 over

 

[Sirris]

Who is this Chahal loser and where is Ashwi

 

[AdamM97]

India made a mistake by playing two spinners here. England choosing Plunkett over Moeen Ali was a wise move.

 

[imshally81]

What a shot

 

[B_Positive]

Is it possible that if India loses this and next two games then they get out of semis based on nrr.

 

[Mean&Green]

How is root in the fab 4 list he looks so out of context in this English team this innings of his has had zero intent

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Chahal has been awful today

 

[Mamoon]

Ben Stokes. Extraordinary class.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Shahal giftimg the game to england.

 

[Titan24]

Wow! Thats some shot from Stokes

That's you on most days of the week tbf

 

[Hasan123]

Bumrah can stop Stokes. Bring him on after this over.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Pathetic bowling frm chahal. Realising all the pressure created by the bowlers before

 

[Kaptan]

Bring in Bumrah.
Remove this idiot chahal.

 

[bluevision]

That was inhuman Stokes. No wonder Kohli screams your name when excited.

 

[Hasan123]

Bumrah on.

 

[AdamM97]

I think India misjudged the pitch and went for two spinners. Should have chosen Vijay Shankar instead.

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

I'm reaching the point where I might prefer my Indian bros to win the WC over England since eNGLAND appear to be rather one dimensional and whingey. Only able to play on roads and when the pitch suits em.

 

[Titan24]

I guess this is the worst spell of any spin duo in world cup

 

[Mean&Green]

Man you must feel like **** if a batsman hits you for a shot like that but it’s ok chahal has a big heart he will comeback from this unlike kuldeep who will start shedding buckets of tears

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

That 15 run over jus gave england so momentum heading towards last 10 overs. They cud well still score 100 of last 10 if india dont bowl well. And england cud jus reach 300 if India bowl well

 

[Mamoon]

How is root in the fab 4 list he looks so out of context in this English team this innings of his has had zero intent

Williamson and Smith will look out of place as well at times, that is how dynamic their lineup is. Only Kohli would look great as usual, but he is three levels above everyone else in ODIs. Fab Four doesn't exist in ODIs, it is only Fab One.

 

[bluevision]

Is Kedar in the team as a specialist batsmen!

Come on bumrah

Hamari team ki uniform bht achi lagi

 

[Mamoon]

That's you on most days of the week tbf

Not when they play Pakistan or England.

 

[MMHS]

ENG definitely had some home work today against IND spinners. They didn't allow spin pair to settle, neither pitch it on a spot. Shami has reduced the score by at least 35, otherwise by now IND would have been out of game.
