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

[90MPH]

Pathetic performance by India.

They batted like it was a Test match.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Sorry but Oandya is limited and that was his maximum capacity.

He according to some is an impact player and better than Shakib lol. He is our version of Anwar Ali. That's it.

 

[Zhasan]

Kiwis to help us qualify.

If only wasim bhai can use his underworld connections, otherwise not happening.

 

[Justcrazy]

71 from 30 balls , impossible now

 

[Madplayer]

Dhoni is a shadow of himself. What a decline.

 

[Kianig89]

India will be tested the day if they are 3/30 may be against SL

 

[FanofCricket]

Lack of intent from India

 

[Mamoon]

Wait Kane wiliamson is there at the corner

You won’t go anywhere if you keep pinning hopes on others. A big lesson for Pakistan in this World Cup should they care to take something out of this.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Pakistanis supporting india ab Khush ho.Mazaa toh India ki haar mein hai

 

[CricketIsAwesome]

India don't want WC. They just want Pak out. As they know how dangerous Pak can be in a knockout. LOL

Funny how Pakistan is relying on results from other teams to find a spot in the SF and how Pakistan fans are bemoaning India loosing.
If Pakistan couldn;t do it on their own like teh other top teams then it shouldn't be in the SF, its a s simple as that

 

[amirm]

India knew what they had to do from the start

 

[Tiger96]

England are winning the World Cup. They needed this massive win to get things in order.

Think England missed Roy big time in the last few games. If not for his injury and exclusion, England would have qualified for the Semis by now.

 

[andy0204]

You don't know sarcasm

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

It's all over. 300-310 is what we will get max because of that pathetic slow start.

If we has bhuvi instead of a spinner we would have been chasing the same.

Pant needs to be trusted on phattas also rope in dk for jadhav.

 

[Madplayer]

If only wasim bhai can use his underworld connections, otherwise not happening.

[CricketIsAwesome]

England, way to go.......c,mon you are almost there

 

[ind_win]

Pandya played well did not finish well. A lesson for spinners in this match. India will lose.But pant, dhoni really...all of them know 80% will be slow bouncers, off cutters. Still not picking them.

 

[FanofCricket]

And gangulay still praising India strike rotation

 

[Titan24]

Plunkett was the difference

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Pathetic batting... India have approached so far without risks..

 

[Madplayer]

I saw modi in the stands cheering for India.

 

[Ozeirk]

You won’t go anywhere if you keep pinning hopes on others. A big lesson for Pakistan in this World Cup should they care to take something out of this.

Don't think Pakistan was pinning hope on anyone. Things turned out this way for Pakistan.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

I loved every bit of it.Keep it up England

 

[sahiwal_punjabi_786]

Even new doing tuk tuk hahaha

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Pant's dismissal was the turning point today

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Think England missed Roy big time in the last few games. If not for his injury and exclusion, England would have qualified for the Semis by now.

Depends on toss, they can't chase on a deck which is even slightly helpful.

 

[Mamoon]

India planned their chase perfectly, but the execution was lacking today thanks to smart bowling and captaincy. All this talk of India deliberately underperforming is rubbish. It was in their interests to eliminate England at the expense of Pakistan or Bangladesh.

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

This was clearly India's gameplan and explains the tuk tuking. Best outcome for them is to lose by a slim margin, perhaps score 300. Preserve NRR.

Dream semi finals for ICC now, England are through.

 

[CricketIsAwesome]

India knew what they had to do from the start

and so did England. They are playing to a strategy and aren;t here to loose

 

[Syed1]

Dhoni uncle is useless as ever

 

[CricketCartoons]

This is a good practice match for India.

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Modi in the crowd

 

[BDfanforever]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION], I reckon Plunkett should forever replace that hack Moeen Ali.

 

[AdamM97]

You won’t go anywhere if you keep pinning hopes on others. A big lesson for Pakistan in this World Cup should they care to take something out of this.

We’ll take it any way it comes. We did qualify for the semis in CT thanks go Sri Lanka’s fielders dropping our catches/

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Helicopter shots plzz

 

[Ram Shekhar]

At least India should be all out.. this approach is pathetic

 

[Mamoon]

Depends on toss, they can't chase on a deck which is even slightly helpful.

Roy could have won them the Sri Lanka match. The chances of him performing better than Vince are extremely high on any pitch against any opposition.

 

[CricketIsAwesome]

This was clearly India's gameplan and explains the tuk tuking. Best outcome for them is to lose by a slim margin, perhaps score 300. Preserve NRR.

Dream semi finals for ICC now, England are through.

Get on the line with Basit Ali. He will be glad to hear from you

 

[Syed1]

Think England missed Roy big time in the last few games. If not for his injury and exclusion, England would have qualified for the Semis by now.

They lost against Pak with Roy in the side.

 

[DRsohail]

He according to some is an impact player and better than Shakib lol. He is our version of Anwar Ali. That's it.

You cab sense it when you want India to win every moment, so I did today, Pandya is very limited, was pain to watch, Abul Razaq can defintely help him how to clear front foot and play straightbinsted of dragging.His comments were taken wrongly, he can teach him.

 

[saeed5646]

Shame on the Pak fans cheering every Indian single and every Indian wicket. Now go and eat daal.

Never thought India would beat England.

Same feelings i am ashamed right now .England are back strongly and deserves to win

 

[90MPH]

India’s target was to never win this match.

They used it as net practice.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would be disappointed here

 

[FanofCricket]

You won’t go anywhere if you keep pinning hopes on others. A big lesson for Pakistan in this World Cup should they care to take something out of this.

We did the same in 1992 when aus defeated wi so why not in 2019.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Roy could have won them the Sri Lanka match. The chances of him performing better than Vince are extremely high on any pitch against any opposition.

Roy isn't whole England team. It's same like India without Dhawan

 

[sahiwal_punjabi_786]

Gangly: England won’t mind signals

Nor will you - so bait!!!!!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya played well did not finish well. A lesson for spinners in this match. India will lose.But pant, dhoni really...all of them know 80% will be slow bouncers, off cutters. Still not picking them.

So how long before Pandya learns to finish games? These cute 30-40's won't make him an impact player. Even Wahab Riaz of Pakistan can play these cameos and actually finish games for his team.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Message for all the Pakistani who were supporting india.Never support India

 

[Ozeirk]

In all the chases Pakistan went for it against England. India did not every try in the last few overs.

 

[andy0204]

Roy could have won them the Sri Lanka match. The chances of him performing better than Vince are extremely high on any pitch against any opposition.

What rubbish Roy is hack against the spin he would have been walking wicket against srilanka

 

[Mueez]

Dhoni in his prime would’ve chased this.

 

[Madplayer]

Aur rakho umeed.Great acting by India to show intent but Army man Dhoni gave it away while shouldering arms when RR was 11.

Well said. The saffron colour of jerseys should have given it away.

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION], I reckon Plunkett should forever replace that hack Moeen Ali.

Moeen is the difference between England having a deep lineup and a shallow one. Woakes and Rashid can bat, but they are not proper batsmen like Moeen, who is a genuine specialist batsman when in form. However, he was been dreadful and looks horribly short of confidence. His misery should have ended early in this World Cup.

An in-form Moeen would have helped England beat Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and perhaps take the game against Australia very deep.

 

[pak4life]

Pak fans need to stop being pathetic. Give credit to England they played superb. It's not all about India.

 

[AdamM97]

You won’t go anywhere if you keep pinning hopes on others. A big lesson for Pakistan in this World Cup should they care to take something out of this.

No shame in having luck on your side. Rohit got two centuries after misfield from fakhar and drop catch from Root. All that matters is that you win it in the end.

 

[BleedGreen]

61 off 24

 

[DRsohail]

So according to Ganguli H.Pandya is the most dangerous player in this team.take a bow.

 

[Asif321]

Start praying for kiwis

 

[Madplayer]

Even Ganguly saying the intent was lacking from Indian team.

 

[Tiger96]

Roy isn't whole England team. It's same like India without Dhawan

But Roy gives them great starts at the top and sets the tempo, look at how he played today and got England to a flier. Imagine if Vince had played today, England would have hardly got the same start .

 

[90MPH]

Pathetic pathetic performance by India.

They never had any intentions to win this.

Australia would have gone for this no matter what.

 

[Mamoon]

Roy isn't whole England team. It's same like India without Dhawan

He sets the tone for them and his loss is massive. Same with Dhawan. England look a different team with Roy opening as opposed to Vince.

 

[andy0204]

Grandpa as usual playing superb knock

 

[FanofCricket]

Finally ganguly admits intent is lacking.

 

[Ozeirk]

Nasir has a hunch as to what's happening. Lol

 

[Technics 1210]

So in summary, England fluked it to victory today. Lucky England, Roy was out but not reviewed. India had a bad day at the office!

LOL

 

[sahiwal_punjabi_786]

Even Nassir Hussain is like: why are they just playing signals

 

[Titan24]

Very good strike rotation

 

[ARK Rafay]

Pakistan did demolish their Semi Final hopes in their first game.

 

[Madplayer]

Ganguly - there was a lack of Intent from India.

Nasser - I am completely baffled by this approach

)

 

[amirm]

Absolutely disgraceful by indian players

 

[FanofCricket]

India happy to lose

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Dhoni is not even trying , playing for nrr.

Kohli Rohit pant pandya... Tried
Rest all have a look at the mirror.

 

[Kaptain]

One fan shouting "Maro yar Maro" repeatedly LOL

Can absolutely relate to him. Nasser is baffled in the commentary box. I guess he hasn't been following Dhoni's approach in the last few years.

 

[CricketIsAwesome]

We did the same in 1992 when aus defeated wi so why not in 2019.

Because other teams have progressed and moved on while Paksitan is still hung on 1992 and 2017. You can be lucky only so many times until it eventually runs out

 

[AdamM97]

So in summary, England fluked it to victory today. Lucky England, Roy was out but not reviewed. India had a bad day at the office!

LOL

Everyone would say this if this was Pakistan.

 

[yasir]

“Intent was lacking” Ganguly

I KNOW

 

[Mamoon]

We did the same in 1992 when aus defeated wi so why not in 2019.

If we don’t forget 1992, we will never become an elite team. 1992 has done severe long-term damage to the psyche of Pakistan cricket. I wish we had won in 1987.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Dhoni uncle is useless as ever

Finally feeling it now that it hurts u eh

 

[Mean&Green]

Bro even Nasser Hussein sees it he’s baffled by what he’s seeing it’s clear India were here to lose today
