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

[Inswing]

Wow damnn what a slog

 

[Titan24]

You think I am not watching the game or haven’t seen India chase before��

 

[ekpakistani]

Where does it leave Pakistan if India loses this match?

We still need to beat BD and will leave world cup head held high.

We will still end up above 5th position...which for a 6/7 ranked team is an achievement

 

[Arcturus]

 

[Crickeet]

Everybody wanting India to win but I don't. Pakistan have to work hard and concentrate on beating Bangladesh. The way the kiwis are playing they could get hammered by a confident England and we would still qualify. Also a defeat for India at this stage could knock their confidence and form.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Rohit playing very slow today

He always play like this till 100,nothing new

 

[Technics 1210]

Australia is a real threat in this world up. Even if England do get to the knockout stages I do not see them going all the way. Australia is the real juggernaut in this world up as they have peaked at a good time. Initial loss to India came at a time when they were still finding their footing in this world Cup.

As of this morning:

 

[ekpakistani]

I think this kit has something to do with the fact that India and Eng have similar blues for this WC and Eng playing in their home it had to be India to wear a different color. We will see this kit again if India and Eng face each other again in this WC.

Acha... Something that should worry superstitious fans

 

[B_Positive]

Kohli yesssss.... Batting is just wow

 

[FanofCricket]

 

[DeadlyYorker]

All hail, king kohli

 

[Jeetlodil]

slowly but surely India coming back into the match. Pant and Pandya to follow with Dhoni to guide

 

[Titan24]

Has the pitch become slower as Roy and Bairstow were timing it really good unlike Rahul or Rohit (Till now)?

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Acha... Something that should worry superstitious fans

Like yourself

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Kholi what a class he is!!

 

[MisbahTheGreat]

Another 50 to best ever ODI batsman...

He has left Sachin in his shadow

 

[Itachi]

Its an away kit dude. Means it will stay.

 

[ekpakistani]

Fully agree with you bro. We have already achieved more than our ODI ranking. Supremely proud of our team

 

[hb787]

50 for Kohli. Come on boy lets get it to 100

 

[baggy blue]

jason roy looks like , bats like nathan astle

 

[ekpakistani]

Like yourself

Nope... Pakistan has already over achieved my expectations and so from now on its a bonus

 

[Titan24]

Its an away kit dude. Means it will stay.

Why wasnt it being used before in the WC then?

 

[FanofCricket]

Everybody wanting India to win but I don't. Pakistan have to work hard and concentrate on beating Bangladesh. The way the kiwis are playing they could get hammered by a confident England and we would still qualify. Also a defeat for India at this stage could knock their confidence and form.

How would pak qualify if eng win both games Pakistan run rate is too low a difference of Almost 500 runs against nz. So Pakistan needs eng to loose at least one match.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Nope... Pakistan has already over achieved my expectations and so from now on its a bonus

Same with indians in this match bhaijan.

 

[Fazzy321]

Kohli to score 200* to chase off and break the world record of chases!

 

[Ronaldo7]

What if England beat New Zealand?

We go.

 

[xbronze]

Its an away kit dude. Means it will stay.

But this was not what they wore in the previous matches in this tournament

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Come on India

 

[DeadlyYorker]

How would pak qualify if eng win both games Pakistan run rate is too low a difference of Almost 500 runs against nz. So Pakistan needs eng to loose at least one match.

Pak has no chance to better Nz's NRR even if nz lose badly...if eng win both pak goes home...if eng lose either one and pak win v bagladesh...eng stays home hahah

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Indian attacking England weak link

 

[Ozeirk]

As of this morning:

View attachment 93301

Starc is bowling amazingly well, with pace it's hard to see him off as well. He is always in contention to take wickets.

 

[Titan24]

Kohli is a different league on any pitch or track. He analyzes the nature of the pitch and adapts much better than anybody.

 

[B_Positive]

India clawing back. Kohli and rohit can do this...

 

[ekpakistani]

Same with indians in this match bhaijan.

Yup but i was talking about semis and final vs england...

Why not change to saffron kit as a permanent feature? Just wondering as it does represent India

 

[Pakpak]

Everybody wanting India to win but I don't. Pakistan have to work hard and concentrate on beating Bangladesh. The way the kiwis are playing they could get hammered by a confident England and we would still qualify. Also a defeat for India at this stage could knock their confidence and form.

wat are you on about. We are not qualifying if NZ also lose to England. We need England to lose to India or NZ.

 

[MMHS]

IND is just about 7-8 short as per DWL, so that hey are not out of it yet but asking if 8.5 for almost 30 overs is a daunting task.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

But this was not what they wore in the previous matches in this tournament

Because in previous matches they did not play england, only india and eng both have complete blue kit thats why home and away concept while these two play...
Hope its clear now

 

[Mp812]

India playing risk free cricket knowing very well the middle and bottom order is weak since the great "Vijay Shankar" is not in the team today to take care of chase .

 

[FanofCricket]

Kiwis are renowned for defeating big teams in crucial matches they can beat England if they bat first score 300 and then with the likes of boult Henry Ferguson it will be tough for England to chase.

 

[Arcturus]

Cameras should pan out when chasing the ball. Have to wait till the last moment to know whether it's a 4, 6 or out.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Yup but i was talking about semis and final vs england...

Read my reply to xbronze you will know why they wont make it permenant and why they had to change at all

 

[Itachi]

India playing risk free cricket knowing very well the middle and bottom order is weak since the great "Vijay Shankar" is not in the team today to take care of chase .

This team doesn't have the 3D factor today.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

These need to go to 200

 

[emranabbas]

Come on team India few big overs and we are back on track

 

[member250]

India isn't chasing this down. Now Pakistan fans will have pray for NZ win.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This is the last recognised pair for India. Dhoni can't save India everytime.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

This team doesn't have the 3D factor today.

Hoping pandya to show some excellency in his 3D skills

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

Massive respect to India if they do this today.

 

[FanofCricket]

Still run rate is too low

 

[DeadlyYorker]

This is the last recognised pair for India. Dhoni can't save India everytime.

He cant saveeverytime,but he definitely cant save even single time when target is above 300.

 

[Fahdi]

If these two can take it to 200 in 36 overs India will have the game in the bag

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This team doesn't have the 3D factor today.

Yes. This team is looking beautiful today without 3D glasses but there is also a small 'gol matol' pimple on its face.

 

[FanofCricket]

Inside out from rohit

 

[Itachi]

Come on team India few big overs and we are back on track

No team can chase 338 on this pitch.

 

[PakFan2010]

India will chase this down. Kohli and Sharma will both score 100 plus.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

If these two can take it to 200 in 36 overs India will have the game in the bag

138 in 14 overs are you kidding me? They need atleast 230 in 36 overs

 

[K4Kohli]

One of the beautiful sights in the world cricket right now is kohli and rohit partnership. Cherish it my friends

 

[Itachi]

Yes. This team is looking beautiful today without 3D glasses but there is also a small 'gol matol' pimple on its face.

Chand main thoda kaala daag hona chahiye. After all its the dimple that makes a girl cute.

 

[B_Positive]

They are hitting at least one boundary every over along with singles. Brilliantly calculated by india. They will win if these two stay till 30th over

 

[FanofCricket]

Pandya will be key in this run chase

 

[Itachi]

138 in 14 overs are you kidding me? They need atleast 230 in 36 overs

Possible. Just go into t20 mode.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Truly thought game is done and dusted when KL got out.
Truly great to see these two bat toagther

 

[Titan24]

One of the beautiful sights in the world cricket right now is kohli and rohit partnership. Cherish it my friends

I agree.

 

[FanofCricket]

They are hitting at least one boundary every over along with singles. Brilliantly calculated by india. They will win if these two stay till 30th over

40th over at least

 

[Mp812]

Still run rate is too low

Looks like dhoni was batting coach for rohit and kohli in the nets yesterday. They are scoring 50s at dhoniseque strike rate

 

[nosundries]

These two are scoring 7-8 an over for the past 7-8 overs without much risk .. Just need to do that till 35-40 overs ..

 

[Fahdi]

138 in 14 overs are you kidding me? They need atleast 230 in 36 overs

If these 2 are there then they can easily take a couple of overs for 12+. One of these 2 have to be there till the end though.

 

[Usman Chadda]

This game was lost the moment India conceded 202 in 31 overs to England.

You don't chase 338 very often in WC games. One wicket here, and India will collapse.

 

[BalluBalleBaaz]

The chase is well underway!

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Possible. Just go into t20 mode.

No more powerplays,bowlers can bowl more than 4 overs..already at loss of wickets with a really long tail...t20 mode will malfunction

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The aim seems to be to protect India's NRR and let England win

 

[DeadlyYorker]

The aim seems to be to protect India's NRR and let England win

Nope clearly playing to win here ....

 

[desi_launda]

Who will hit those much needed sixes? Dhoni? Jadhav?

 

[FanofCricket]

Boundary in every over required from here

 

[Titan24]

If these two stay for another 10 overs, Eng will start to feel a lot more pressure

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Who will hit those much needed sixes? Dhoni? Jadhav?

Pant ko team me liya he,dekhte he munda kya karta he..

 

[Itachi]

No more powerplays,bowlers can bowl more than 4 overs..already at loss of wickets with a really long tail...t20 mode will malfunction

Well no bowlers will have more than 4 overs at that point of time in most cases.

 

[jiduguravindra]

The aim seems to be to protect India's NRR and let England win

Seems more like it..

 

[desi_launda]

Virat

There is a difference between a dimple and a pimple. Girls want to get rid of pimples.
