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

[Hasan123]

Stokes looks unstoppable.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

England will play clever. Milking bumrah for singles and few 2s. Whilst going after other bowlers

 

[AdamM97]

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.

What about Ross Taylor? He has averaged 80.00 since 2017 (i think). He's the most underrated ODI bastman atm.

 

[Pakpak]

That's you on most days of the week tbf

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Already 6 of 3 without any risk taken.. india need to bowl slower bowls. Mix them up with sum bouncers and Yorkers

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Apart from Bumrah and Shami nobody bowled well today.

 

[Hasan123]

Stopping the boundaries is the key.

 

[Captain caveman]

Aba yaar, why you people giving yourself false hope, india will do nothing that benefits pakistan!
India will 40 for 3 after the first powerplay! Only kohli the great and honourable captain will be able to put up a fight, the lone warrior!
Sharma ylto get out for less than 20!

Shikar we miss you!

Lol what??? Since when is there only fab 1 all the cricket Analysts always mention it and you are saying their is only fab 1 obviously kohli is above the rest but still.

Or maybe not, not sure.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

India missing Shankar's bowling today.

 

[blackanhyellow]

Does anyone know if the ball was turning at all or if the spinners had any assistance today?

Or was it a case of England playing them well?

Because they got smashed...

 

[K4Kohli]

Virat should have made Bumrah bowl a over or two, around 35. 5 overs on a trot is dificult for any bowler

 

[Titan24]

Afghanistan says hello.
AFG vs ENG??

Yes you are right in that Rashid Khan singlehandedly broke all the records

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Oh man! Why should India or any team do anything that benefits Pak? This is WC and not some gully cricket.

 

[AdamM97]

India missing Shankar's bowling today.

England did well to bench Moeen Ali today.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Bad call to give this over to Chahal.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Chahal 18 runs away from a century

 

[B_Positive]

Bumrah and shami are just best. Even on this belter of a pitch they have such good stats. But I still think Shaheen and amir is equally potent.

 

[Kaptan]

Lol Chahal is born to get smacked. )

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

i sense 333.....with india topping it by the 48th....relax guys...

 

[Amirforpresident]

Does anyone know if the ball was turning at all or if the spinners had any assistance today?

I saw one ball of Chahal spin past Bairstows edge

 

[Mamoon]

What about Ross Taylor? He has averaged 80.00 since 2017 (i think). He's the most underrated ODI bastman atm.

His strike rotation is quite average.

 

[AdamM97]

Why are they persisting with Chahal? Give one over to Kedar Jadhav instead...

 

[Mamoon]

Lol what??? Since when is there only fab 1 all the cricket Analysts always mention it and you are saying their is only fab 1 obviously kohli is above the rest but still.

Everyone recognises that Kohli is in a league of his own in ODIs. The Fab Four is mostly because of Test cricket, where Kohli is the best as well but the gap is not massive like in ODIs.

 

[ekpakistani]

Pandya fielding like akmal ha ha

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Wonderful fielding by Hardik Jontyaa

 

[Hasan123]

India missing Shankar's bowling today.

How would he have troubled Roy and Bairstow when they have hit better bowlers than him ?

Also Pandya went for 21 after his 1st 2 overs . He went for 30 off 7 after that. So your telling me 30 off 7 overs is bar ? Also you want to blame Pandya so bad but it's been your spinners who have bowled poor but you don't want to say anything about them. You just keep going on about Shankar bowling as if he is an ATG bowler for getting Imam out. Even against Pakistan Babar missed out on 3 loose balls against him.

 

[B_Positive]

Today a lot of indians murmuring ben Stokes.

 

[Sirris]

Yeah Chahal is the Trojan horse. Acting against Pakistan... eh I mean India's interests

 

[Mamoon]

Stokes pouring cold water over 1992 parallels.

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Kick this idiot Chahal out of the team and bring in Jadeja. He's a better batsman and fielder too. Done with this idiot's antics.

 

[K4Kohli]

what was that Pandya

 

[imshally81]

India not in the mood...

 

[AdamM97]

88-0 (10.0).
Worst bowling figures for Chahal?

 

[Green Patriot]

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.

Please get off your high horse.
In 2009 Champions trophy India were in a similar position,waiting with bated breaths for Pakistan to defeat Australia to allow them to qualify for the semis and they too were beaten by Pakistan in the group game.
So its not just Pakistan.These things happen in cricket.

 

[ekpakistani]

Highest india has chased in a world cup is 288

In 1992 india lost to england chasing

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Expensive spell by chahal.. Eco 8.8

 

[Mean&Green]

Lol bro root is trash stokes was gonna get another 12 atleast if he faces the whole over

 

[Titan24]

Spin duos 20 overs went for 160 with just 1 wicket.

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

and chahal's done with his 10.....

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

There was Bruce Lee and there is this Chus Lee.

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

why do these indians love ear piercings

 

[Hasan123]

Shami and Bumrah wont be easy to get away here.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Chahal has single handedly lost this game for india

 

[Mp812]

England missing Shankar bowling or 380 was surety. Pandya bowled 9 overs for 55. In context of the high scoring that's awesome

 

[B_Positive]

Stokes pouring cold water over 1992 parallels.

Believe me the amount of luck we saw in yesterday's match, I am sure we will be through to semis and then win the cup

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

bumrah bumrah, shyam rang bumra

 

[Mamoon]

Stokes Player of the Tournament if England makes it to the final.

 

[AdamM97]

Kick this idiot Chahal out of the team and bring in Jadeja. He's a better batsman and fielder too. Done with this idiot's antics.

Chahal and Kuldeep are the reason for India's dominance in spin. Jadeja is just another raillu katta. It was a bad move by India to play two spinners this match, that's all.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

England on par for 350

 

[Mean&Green]

Kick this idiot Chahal out of the team and bring in Jadeja. He's a better batsman and fielder too. Done with this idiot's antics.

Chahal is a champion bowler and we all know how good a bat jadeja is lol chahal anyday over jadeja regardless of batting a bowlers job is to bowl not bat

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

dead horse root keeping back the run rate, should sacrifice his wicket for butler

 

[Captain caveman]

Oh man! Why should India or any team do anything that benefits Pak? This is WC and not some gully cricket.

DON'T WANT ANYTHING FROM INDIA!
just trying to explain reality to my younger brother and sisters on this forum!
Pakistan will qualify through their own efforts, inshaAllah, just like safi said!

 

[Kaptan]

India missing Shankar's bowling today.

Bhai maaf kr. 500 run nhi parwane.

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

Spin duos 20 overs went for 160 with just 1 wicket.

Eng drove the Cha-ku thru us today...

 

[Hasan123]

Come on Bumrah.

 

[member250]

*** India. No way NZ is beating ENG so we are out. And no way India is chasing 350 here.

 

[FanofCricket]

Good death bowling by bumrah

 

[Abdullah719]

Stokes pouring cold water over 1992 parallels.

England beat India in 1992

 

[Titan24]

Bumrah will be the distance between Eng and 350

 

[DeadlyYorker]

*** India. No way NZ is beating ENG so we are out. And no way India is chasing 350 here.

Honey,you have no idea whats possible..

 

[FanofCricket]

Excellent over from bumrah

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Chahal is a champion bowler and we all know how good a bat jadeja is lol chahal anyday over jadeja regardless of batting a bowlers job is to bowl not bat

Champion bowler bowled trash today and won the game for England.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Wat an over frm bumrah

 

[Haripotter]

Bumrah is reposing the faith that Pak fans had on him today

 

[Hasan123]

Excellent over.

 

[Mean&Green]

Lol Ganguly gets too excited sometimes about this indian england would need 340 they would legit need 310 and India would be very worried since they’ve only chased 300+ 2:7 times in the last two years

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Just noticed bumrah having slightly longer runup than usual

 

[Mamoon]

England beat India in 1992

That is one way of looking at it.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Shami needs to support bumrah and so does pandya with his 1 over

 

[Sirris]

*** India. No way NZ is beating ENG so we are out. And no way India is chasing 350 here.

The most Pakistani thing would be to lose against Bangladesh. Making everything else irrelevant.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bhai maaf kr. 500 run nhi parwane.

He bowled very well against Pakistan. Expecting Pant to score a century here. The stage is set for him.

 

[Mamoon]

Pakistan will qualify through their own efforts, inshaAllah, just like safi said!

But they can't. It is not in their hands anymore.

You are a funny guy who cannot be taken seriously. You try hard and fail. Continue with such antics and you will be no different likes of arnab goswami

 

[AdamM97]

England beat India in 1992

Keep the comparisons coming brother. I'm eagerly waiting for our kaptaan to lift the cup.

 

[Haripotter]

Until root is at the crease , england will not go past 330

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

This match is a dress rehearsal of the final

 

[Mamoon]

"Ben Chokes" they used to call him.

 

[RainStopsPlay]

I'm sure Shankar wouldn't have done any worse than Kuldeep or Chahal.
