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

[Hamza_]

Stokes :-O

 

[AdamM97]

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

Needs to make way for Buttler.

 

[Titan24]

Root isnt even playing run a ball and he came in after 22 overs. I guess on a flat wicket even consolidators should be going at sr of 100

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Stokes aaj kuch alag hi pi kar ayahe

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Poor. Should’ve kept Bumrah on

 

[Itachi]

England beat India in 1992

that's the issue.

if 92 repeats, pak is out.

if 92 doesn't repeat, then pak wont be champion.

 

[topspin]

Brilliant from Bumrah

 

[member250]

Pak will be out of WC by then and competly hopeless so might as well loss trying to increase NRR to impossible level.

 

[saeed5646]

Pandya is excellent bowler

 

[Abdullah719]

that's the issue.

if 92 repeats, pak is out.

if 92 doesn't repeat, then pak wont be champion.

England beat India.

New Zealand beat England.

Either way, we have straws to clutch on to

 

[member250]

Its about 100% repeat. Pak beat Australia in 92 but lost in 2019.

 

[AdamM97]

Pak will be out of WC by then and competly hopeless so might as well loss trying to increase NRR to impossible level.

NZ can beat England on a good day. Not all hope is lost.

 

[Afhan Ali]

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

He is far behind than Starc the legend

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

cmon hardik....pitch it up....get stokes...

 

[Mean&Green]

Can any indian please tell me how many games pant has won for India cause ganguly keeps calling him a complete match winner which is really weird cause I don’t remember him even playing that many Odis and he hasn’t won India peanuts

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

He is far behind than Starc the legend

shakib u h..still in with a chance if bangla bros go deep in the tournament...

 

[Itachi]

England beat India.

New Zealand beat England.

Either way, we have straws to clutch on to

you are better than those road side astrologers.

 

[Mamoon]

He is far behind than Starc the legend

Man of the Tournament doesn't have to be statistically the best player. Stokes bailed England out against South Africa, waged a lone war against Sri Lanka and Australia, and is now crushing Pakistan's hopes.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Can any indian please tell me how many games pant has won for India cause ganguly keeps calling him a complete match winner which is really weird cause I don’t remember him even playing that many Odis and he hasn’t won India peanuts

Ignore those fools, he is a prospect not a tool yet. All the indian matches i switch to hindi commentry,coz its better

 

[Afhan Ali]

Hitman, Rahul and Kohli will smash England iut of the wc

 

[Itachi]

Can any indian please tell me how many games pant has won for India cause ganguly keeps calling him a complete match winner which is really weird cause I don’t remember him even playing that many Odis and he hasn’t won India peanuts

oh my brother! you are here! Rooting for india today?

 

[desi_launda]

Can any indian please tell me how many games pant has won for India cause ganguly keeps calling him a complete match winner which is really weird cause I don’t remember him even playing that many Odis and he hasn’t won India peanuts

He has actual hitting ability unlike defensive players like Dhoni,Jadhav and Shankar

 

[saeed5646]

Root have played a very selfish and poor inning .Pathetic inning comes to end

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Why padya ,needed root till very end why woulf you let butler walk in?

 

[B_Positive]

Shami is fighting for all of South Asia

 

[Titan24]

Poor innings from Root in the context of the game

 

[Inswing]

Jos buttler will wreck havoc now

Stokes + Buttler in dead over is simply a very deadly deadly combo

 

[Hamza_]

Brilliant bowling by Shami

 

[AdamM97]

Good for England. Root was good for nothing anyways.

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

Man of the Tournament doesn't have to be statistically the best player. Stokes bailed England out against South Africa, waged a lone war against Sri Lanka and Australia, and is now crushing Pakistan's hopes.

True....Rahul got most runs in 1999, the Kiwi allott got most wkts in 1999 but player of tournament was Lance zulu....

 

[Haripotter]

Blessing is disguise for england. Root just can't accelerate

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

shaaaaaaami kebaaaaab

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Root great knock

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Shami

 

[Mean&Green]

Lol joe root is nowhere close to babar just like bhuvi is no match with the bengal tiger shami

 

[topspin]

Man of the Tournament doesn't have to be statistically the best player. Stokes bailed England out against South Africa, waged a lone war against Sri Lanka and Australia, and is now crushing Pakistan's hopes.

Starc is miles ahead. No ifs and buts.

 

[Sirris]

Let the collapse begin...

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Root is out..blessing in disguise

 

[Afhan Ali]

Man of the Tournament doesn't have to be statistically the best player. Stokes bailed England out against South Africa, waged a lone war against Sri Lanka and Australia, and is now crushing Pakistan's hopes.

Yes stokes did it but starc also change the matches on his head
Against Win
Against pak
Against Nz
Against Eng

 

[BaaliSoda]

Very respectable figures in the end for Pandya.

Once again Shami impresses.

Still, a tall order for us to chase this score with our weak middle/lower middle order.

Already 277 on the board with 6 more overs to go.

 

[bluevision]

The bowling has been decent, KulCha duo ruined us. Why Kedar is not bowling, playing him as a specialist batsman is beyond anyone's comprehension.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Stokes and butler= recipe for carnage lol

 

[Mean&Green]

oh my brother! you are here! Rooting for india today?

Of course though I loved the phainta roy and bairstow gave first up but it’ll be too hard India it seems

 

[Mamoon]

Starc is miles ahead. No ifs and buts.

Depends on how they and their teams end the World Cup. That is why I said Stokes is my choice if England make the final.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Starc is miles ahead. No ifs and buts.

Almost in every game when australia was heading towards defeat he bailed them everytime...its either him or noome else

 

[AdamM97]

Buttler and Stokes will help England to 330.

 

[B_Positive]

Shami is Changing game on his head. Rohit will score a hundred here for sure. And it will be a big one as this pitch suggests

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

shami better play all games now

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Problem if if even 1 of these gets out. England still have woakes and plunkett to come how csn smash the bowl

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

shami my favourite indian of all time

 

[saeed5646]

I agree with mamoon stokes have played some very vital innings for england in this worldcup

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Thats why its a blessing in disguise for england that root got out. Coz this man butler and get england upto 350 even bow

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Spinners have been coshed aplenty here . 160 off 20 overs. And yet some people will blame 5th bowler Hardik Pandya.

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

geez....we're gonna score a direct hit runout very soon.....

 

[Itachi]

Spinners have been coshed aplenty here . 160 off 20 overs. And yet some people will blame 5th bowler Hardik Pandya.

one off game in a meaningless match.

 

[Chennai_cricket_fan]

I think if we keep England under 350, we should be really happy. This pitch is an absolute road and I think we could chase it down if Sharma and Kohli fire

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

India fielding cracking up like goobar

 

[BaaliSoda]

Spinners have been coshed aplenty here . 160 off 20 overs. And yet some people will blame 5th bowler Hardik Pandya.

400 looked real possibility at the half way stage.

In a way, I would say Hardik saved our blushes today.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Shouldn’t have taken Root’s catch

 

[hb787]

Stokes pouring cold water over 1992 parallels.

If NZ beat Eng, we can still sneak in semis.

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

cmon jazza....knock them over

 

[B_Positive]

If India loses this game, it will be bad for Pak but I guess good for India. They would need such a game so that they don't get overconfident.

 

[James]

Best thing that could have happened for England was Root getting out. England need 335 to be competitive here I think.

 

[watchman99]

Wickets.... fall...pls

 

[WebGuru]

Brilliant death bowling as usual from Bumrah

 

[ekpakistani]

Excellent over from bumrah

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Booomrah 4 off 46th over ,legend

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Spinners have been coshed aplenty here . 160 off 20 overs. And yet some people will blame 5th bowler Hardik Pandya.

And how many wickets did Pandya take? Have a bowling average of 41 and you are comparing them with our spinners. Lol.

 

[saeed5646]

Bumrah at death overs is unplayable. Brilliant bowling

 

[Chennai_cricket_fan]

Bumrah.. you beauty !

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

No six conceded by Bumrah in this high scoring match

 

[Mean&Green]

It doesn’t matter now the carnage done by Roy saab and bairstow jani ensures India loses this game

 

[Sirris]

Target already too big for India to chase this

 

[Nikhil_cric]

400 looked real possibility at the half way stage.

In a way, I would say Hardik saved our blushes today.

True. The lack of the extra pace bowler is going to hurt us on these flat, fresh wickets. This reminds me of CT 2017 when ash and jadeja were thrashed on a flat pitch. Saini should've been included ahead of jadeja.

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

Bumrah is too good

 

[B_Positive]

I somehow am enjoying this game for one more reason. Indians and bangalis are not trolling. All want the same result

 

[Inswing]

Shami

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya can only dream to play like Stokes and Shakib.

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

Do Bangladesh also need India to win?

 

[hb787]

Do Bangladesh also need India to win?

Yes and Sri Lanka also.
