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

[chuck]

I reckon they are 20 short. But India doesn’t have Dhawan, can Pant help Pak today?

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

They have enough eng

 

[MenInG]

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

stokes is leagues above pandya in batting . But it took 6 years for him to get this consistency.
Pandya may get there but it will take some time.

he's toomuch of a hit and miss....and he has a habit of showboating...i mean three four incredible shots for 4-6 and he brings out the spectacular and fails....

 

[B_Positive]

Bumrah gets his man in the end though bumrah has the last laugh

Everyone laughed but just a little late. But still think it's a chasable score. England doesn't have that good bowling

 

[Roadie]

Excellent over by Bumrah. His yorker's wow.

Shami was atrocious.

 

[taqi]

no happening even in two times max 250 in response

 

[Mean&Green]

This game was over since the toss and and when Roy played his first drive he is a different beast just changes his team all together

 

[desi_launda]

India will not make more than 250

 

[MIB]

What will happen to pakistan if this game get tied?

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Bumrah is probably one of the greatest death over bowlers the game ever seen. Just imagine what he would've done with a 40over old ball!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I am predicting another 150 runs defeat.

 

[chuck]

no happening even in two times max 250 in response

have you seen the match at all? It’s a belter.

 

[Gullycricket]

Everyone laughed but just a little late. But still think it's a chasable score. England doesn't have that good bowling

They have very good bowling as Moeen is not there

 

[Mp812]

As of now kohli is giving tips to spinner but as soon as they start picking wickets, dhoni tips will be the reason.

Hahaha u r right

 

[chuck]

This game was over since the toss and and when Roy played his first drive he is a different beast just changes his team all together

Roy was helped by our own Aleem bhai.

 

[James]

Score is par or slightly above, so India will need to produce a world-class chase to win this one.

 

[Abdullah719]

you are better than those road side astrologers.

It's meant to be some fun, don't believe in the superstitious nonsense.

 

[B_Positive]

If India's bowling can go for so much. Imagine what will England bowling do?

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

relax guys...we're acing 337 by the 48th over....and it will be over to our pak bros against banglas......

 

[andy0204]

Excellent over by Bumrah. His yorker's wow.

Shami was atrocious.

Shami was only atrocious in death overs but still he picked up 3 wickets

 

[fanofcricket4life]

I hope Kohli and Rohit score centuries but England win so their averages are not disturbed.

 

[Mueez]

Pant is playing.

I hope he can replicate his IPL performances.

 

[MMHS]

May be 35 too many. But must appreciate Indian bowlers today - pulled a possible 400 to this level.

Poms need to bowl & field poor here not to win this one.

 

[jusarrived]

It’s a chasable total , but our batting dosent give much confidence chasing under pressure ..just that this is not a pressure game they may still pull it off . Eng favs 65-35

 

[Pk716]

he's toomuch of a hit and miss....and he has a habit of showboating...i mean three four incredible shots for 4-6 and he brings out the spectacular and fails....

Agreed about show boating. But his role in the team is try to hit 4 and 6 almost every ball. No player will be consistent if they play at 7 in ODI's. He should improve his technique and try to bat at 6.

 

[desi_launda]

Kohli used to hit 60 ball hundreds,that guy is gone now

 

[B_Positive]

They have very good bowling as Moeen is not there

I don't think there is even a single wicket taker. No serious threat. Anyone can turn up on their day, it will be a fight but in the end I still think it's in India favor 55-45.

 

[jusarrived]

If India's bowling can go for so much. Imagine what will England bowling do?

England’s batting is better than ours though

 

[shah_1]

Kohli used to hit 60 ball hundreds,that guy is gone now

What makes you say that?

 

[Asif321]

Time to pray for kiwis now
Bharat army can’t chase this

 

[jagatk]

Let the match finish before crying as always. Stick to your IPL. Big boys cricket is not for plastic fans like you and [MENTION=141165]jagatk[/MENTION].

You seem obsessed with me, get a life mate.

 

[Tiger96]

I don't think there is even a single wicket taker. No serious threat. Anyone can turn up on their day, it will be a fight but in the end I still think it's in India favor 55-45.

Woakes, Wood, Plunket are not all HALWA bowlers. Neither are stokes and archer.

Also the scoreboard pressure .

 

[Mercurial]

I must say it has been a good comeback by India in the end. England are 50 runs short, I reckon.

 

[Pakpak]

Woakes, Wood, Plunket are not all HALWA bowlers. Neither are stokes and archer.

Our batting made 320+ against them every game. England's bowling is pure garbage.

 

[Nov15]

England Winning

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Some of the other world class attacks playing this world cup might have gone for scores like 444 or thereabouts on this pitch. So maybe it's not a bad effort after all

 

[Dingolfy]

May be 35 too many. But must appreciate Indian bowlers today - pulled a possible 400 to this level.

Poms need to bowl & field poor here not to win this one.

Its a flat road and they have to bowl really well to win this.

 

[Pk716]

Kohli used to hit 60 ball hundreds,that guy is gone now

He is still the same player but our middle order is the reason why he is not playing like that anymore.

 

[Mp812]

India will win this with 4 wickets I guess.

Or maybe India will fall short by 4 runs

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Thank you for your kind words.

You too are an amazing person <3.

On a side note I’m going to Bangalore next February for a charity deed with a group of my college fellows.

Any chance to come to down under to Melbourne-thats where i live..?....I hope you go back home from bangalore with heavy bags, lots of happy memories and hopefully a heavy wallet as well....any ways , have a safe happy journey..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Who will be the future captain of India ? Pant or Pandya

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

India wud have bewn happy with anything upto 310. Would require one batsmen to bat through out, also india need to get a quick start to get themselves ahead so the RRR doesnt increase to much later on. India 200- 2 At 30 overs and its indias game

 

[Napa]

Some body should tell them losing today means they have very good chance of facing aus in semis

If India loses today, it is most unlikely they will face Aus in the semis. Aus will end #1 and India most like #2 or #3.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Time to go turbo today and do the number on Eng....for our pak bros...pitch is flat...they can do this....

 

[Sirris]

India only has 2 batsmen so easy win for England

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Pakistan at the CT Final 338
England today 337


Let's see whether we chase this down.

 

[xbronze]

Kohli used to hit 60 ball hundreds,that guy is gone now

That is not his role in the team anymore now.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Will find out how good the pitch is wen india bats. England might take pace of the bowl and bowl slower ball bouncers to limit the scoring.

 

[Enforcer]

India will not reach 200 figure

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Who will be the future captain of India ? Pant or Pandya

Bumrah

 

[K4Kohli]

Dont worry dear neighbours, we have got this for you

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

KL gonna bat tonight?

 

[sahiwal_punjabi_786]

If India win then all pak have to do is beat Bangladesh and we are in the semis

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

The customary ) ) ) ) )

Still chase is possible if top 3 click.

What happ to spinners? These were the pitches Ash and Jaddu bowled in 2017.

If our wristies cant help us out on these pitches, then whats the use?

On a turner, finger slinners are usually more successful.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

30 runs too many...

 

[BDfanforever]

Soruv Ganguly is the most biased commentator out there. He makes Athar Ali Khan an angel.

 

[jagatk]

That is not his role in the team anymore now.

That guy had an peak dhoni and raina to cover from him. Very different from current grandpa, no number 4, and hit and miss jadhav.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need a Sharma special today and others to chip in. Kohli needs to be at his best and a pant csmeo 70 of 50 wud be good

 

[JaDed]

Kumar Dharmasena 100 th match. Didnt know he was part of 1996 WC winning team.

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

I hope this pant shirt guy they rave about and get some runs

 

[Napa]

I am so happy India are getting the bad day away before the knockout stage. Same thing happened to India in WC15 and CT17. Better to get such bad days in league game. I am getting the feel that India is gonna win this WC.

This game should also make India rethink if they want both Yadav and Chahal in the team. In future games, I would drop one of them for Bhuvi.

Ash and Jaddu got hit by a much inferior line up. This England team is too good. We should be happy they didn't make 400 on this pitch.

Ash and jaddu couldn't pick wickets to save their life that's why they were dropped not because they couldn't stop runs.

 

[darksher]

Safe to say that England is winning this one quite comfortably and it’s probably for the better. Don’t want to see all that nonsense of India helping us out and father/son ** on social media post the match. I’d rather pin my hopes on NZ rather than India to get us through to SF.

 

[MRSN]

India only has 2 batsmen so easy win for England

Agree. Indian batting is weak. 337 is just too much. Having Dhawan could have been different thing.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I hope Rishabh and Hardik do a stokes tonight....the 75 off 35.....what yuvi used to do for us...not so long back

am indian...and cringe sick of that fathers day ** as well....

 

[jagatk]

Why, because they went for runs on a small ground on an absolute flat track? What happens if bhuvi went for runs here too, we bring in ashwin back?

 

[hisham_ashraf]

All India has to do is to not lose wickets in the first 15 overs.Wicket is flat but chasing 338 is very tough.
Kohli hasn't scored a ton yet in this WC,this is the perfect time do it.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

I dont think no team will chase this in the world cup.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This match will expose a few batsmen in this lineup and show why India can't win the World Cup with such mediocre batting .

 

[Thomaskutty]

That was sensational assault on the bowlers by the openers. Jason Roy is fearless. I can see India getting close with a Kohli special but ultimately losing by a couple of dozen runs.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I hope this pant shirt guy they rave about and get some runs

Who raved?...he made the team...and rthe commies commented on the qualities that made him make the team...

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ash and jaddu couldn't pick wickets to save their life that's why they were dropped not because they couldn't stop runs.

They were rightfully dropped. They bowled like cowards.

But they played in same pitches and got pasted.

By the time Kulcha came on the scene, the pitches changed.

SA pitches turned.
Indian pitches turned.
Eng pitches in that odi series wasnt hopeless

The way Ash and Jaddu were mocked and talked about as if they were serial tournament losers were unfair. Especially when they did well in 2013 and 2015 tourneys.

Had they bowled on these WC pitches, they would have done exceedingly well. Ladoo like pitches.

Chahal has been amazing this WC but kuldeep has been disappointing.

 

[ILcricket]

337 is a big score . Will need some big one's by top 4 to be in with a chance .

The problem with jaddu and Ashwin, they got smashed every where. BTW what is the average and Ashwin in ODI?

 

[BDfanforever]

can someone explain me how you can swap in your best fielder for an injured player? This rule like many other Cricket rules makes no sense.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ash and Jaddu got hit by a much inferior line up. This England team is too good. We should be happy they didn't make 400 on this pitch.

Thanks to our pacers today.

 

[Hyperion66]

What happ to spinners? These were the pitches Ash and Jaddu bowled in 2017.

They were up against the likes of Roy, Bairstow and Stokes while Ashwin and jaddu was manhandled by Fakhar and Hafiz of all people. Don't worry your fav Ashwin is never coming back in odi.
