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

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

Pandya is a fifth bowler. His role is to contain and take the odd wicket. Clearly, your bias against Pandya is blinding you

 

[BaaliSoda]

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.

On the benefit of hindsight -the way our spinners were carted all over the park, i would have taken even much maligned trundler shankar or darty jaddu for this track.

 

[FanofCricket]

Butter smashing shami

 

[Madplayer]

Shami is conceding too many runs in death overs.

 

[desi_launda]

Shami bowling too many full tosses

 

[B_Positive]

Do Bangladesh also need India to win?

Yes they are in same position as Pakistan.

 

[watchman99]

Pandya can only dream to play like Stokes and Shakib.

True.
They are a class above

 

[Hasan123]

Pathetic from Shami.

 

[member250]

Lol losing is never good.

 

[Madplayer]

Shami murdered

 

[FanofCricket]

for butler

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

what the truck is shami doing....????

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Shami losing the plot.

 

[saeed5646]

England are not losing this

 

[bluevision]

Shami.. you too!

 

[Mean&Green]

Muslim brother ain’t helping us now is he

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

IPL fans must be enjoying Buttler's cameo here. They love him.

 

[ekpakistani]

 

[xbronze]

Extremely difficult for India to win this match. India has never chased more than 300 successfully in a world cup before.

So, sorry Pakistan supporters, but England wins this match.

 

[desi_launda]

Butler gone

 

[FanofCricket]

Shami gets butler

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Shami has the last laugh.

 

[Madplayer]

Butler out. Dont let them score more than 330 now.

 

[hb787]

Shami finally.

 

[Zeshan547]

Shami had the last laugh

 

[Hasan123]

Buttler gone. Thank God.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Was an expensive over but still gets the dangerous Butler.

Well done shammi

 

[Sirris]

Did Shami bahi get his revenge or is it too late

 

[USaqaf]

India ain't winning this.

 

[Ab Fan]

Buttler GONE!

 

[babajee]

But but, he's as good as Kohli, Viv )

 

[Hitman]

Very good innings by Butler: Ganguly

Good cameo bolo bhai.

 

[Mean&Green]

Shami.. you too!

You would agree this star indian commentary is horrific to hear ganguly and majjrekar were chosen over the legend David bumble

 

[Chennai_cricket_fan]

Extremely difficult for India to win this match. India has never chased more than 300 successfully in a world cup before.

So, sorry Pakistan supporters, but England wins this match.

Dont think that stat has much meaning. The game has changed so much since the last World Cup

 

[Hasan123]

Another tight over for Bumrah.

 

[FanofCricket]

Woakes comes in

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya is a fifth bowler. His role is to contain and take the odd wicket. Clearly, your bias against Pandya is blinding you

Its pretty clear who is biased and ready to compare bowlers with better record on their off day against a useless 5th bowler.

 

[Haripotter]

Shami making Pak fans happy and sad ever other ball

Happy -> Took crucial wkts when england were cruising.
Sad -> Took roots wkt and brought buttler in
Sad -> Leaking runs in death overs to butter
Happy -> Takes butter out

 

[BaaliSoda]

That's 3rd 4 wickets haul for Shammi in as many games

 

[Hasan123]

Singles are fine here.

 

[B_Positive]

IPL fans must be enjoying Buttler's cameo here. They love him.

You love this emoji, don't you.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Shammi 12 wickets in 3 matches excellent

 

[blackanhyellow]

Shami has the last laugh.

I never understood this.

Unless the batsman never gets out, the bowler will always have the last laugh. But whats the point of having the last laugh if the damage is already done?

 

[saeed5646]

Very good innings by Butler: Ganguly

Good cameo bolo bhai.

Ganguly and wasim akram are terrible commentator.Missing tracer bullet aka shastri

 

[member250]

They are in worse position. Bangla need to beat India and Pakistan. This is why only Pak is considered to have best chance if ENG loss today.

 

[light]

Heart says defeat England and give Pakistan a shot for the semi final birth, mind says this is too much to chase for our boys who has not done well with the bat so far. Hope I am wrong and Kohli and co chases it down.

 

[srh]

Indian players kit look horrible

 

[Mean&Green]

Oh shitttt i forgot england have woakes he’ll derail the indian top order

 

[bluevision]

You would agree this star indian commentary is horrific to hear ganguly and majjrekar were chosen over the legend David bumble

Even Bhogle is annoying, sounds like gossiping aunties

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

If you need to sleep put Ganguly to commentate

 

[FanofCricket]

by woakes

 

[Mueez]

England not winning this.

 

[Hasan123]

I think England have enough.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

I think England have enough.

I think they have enough already and there are still 2 over left...

 

[ekpakistani]

 

[Chennai_cricket_fan]

At the beginnning of the match , Sachin said 350 would be par on this wicket

 

[karthikc]

I think England have enough.

England not winning this.

Who will be proven right

 

[FanofCricket]

fiver for shami

 

[desi_launda]

5-fer for Shami

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Wow good catch by hitman

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Shami takes 5fer

 

[Hitman]

Ganguly and wasim akram are terrible commentator.Missing tracer bullet aka shastri

Personally, I’ve always liked Shastri’s commentary.

 

[hb787]

Shami has 5

 

[Mueez]

Shami gets fiver.

What a bowler.

 

[blackanhyellow]

330ish is tough to chase under any circumstances.

Even tougher considering this is a world cup match and first choice opener dhawan isnt there.

India will need a Kohli special.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

5fer for Mohammed Shami

13 World Cup wickets from 3 matches only

 

[Sirris]

5er in a lose cause sadly

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

You love this emoji, don't you.

Koi shaq

 

[BaaliSoda]

Amazing Shammi

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Great comeback considering 400 was on cards

 

[xbronze]

Shami on a hat trick...

 

[andy0204]

5 fer for shami

 

[chuck]

This is a 350 pitch with short boundaries. England will fall short it seems.

 

[gani999]

: Fiver-er for Shami!

Great comeback by India. At one time 400 looked a possibility.

 

[USaqaf]

Ganguly and wasim akram are terrible commentator.Missing tracer bullet aka shastri

Why isn't Shastri commentating? No contract?

 

[FanofCricket]

What a shot by stokes

 

[MIB]

5fer..

Credit should go to Bumarh for applying the pressure on the other end

 

[FanofCricket]

 

[B_Positive]

330ish is tough to chase under any circumstances.

Even tougher considering this is a world cup match and first choice opener dhawan isnt there.

India will need a Kohli special.

They need at least 345 to fight. 330 will be chasable easily.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

KL Rahul must be feeling the pressure already. He has to bat well here.
