ICC World Cup 2023: India (229/9) remain unbeaten as they win against England (129) by 100 runs

[kron]

Teams will be terrified of fielding first against India after this.

Best way to beat India. Bat hard and bat big. 300 to 330 and just get the early wickets. Easier said than done. But that is the way to go.

 

[Mockingbird]

Bowling was superb today. Pitch was not bad second innings.

Plus so much dew. Can’t believe they are losing here.

 

[sweep_shot]

England should now focus on finishing among top 8 (to secure CT 2025 qualification).

The way things are going, they may finish 9th.

india are pretty much unbeatable atm

 

[Swashbuckler]

England is mentally not there, like Bangladesh. These two teams have disappointed the most.

 

[Abraham786]

Maybe my criticism woke him up. You ever think of that ? Still this isn't a flat pitch bro. Needs to prove on a flattie. Ball is doing things here.

But it was flat when indian Batsman were batting ? Oh Boy must be hard for you

 

[kron]

Just some observation from my end. The short and average height guys always seem to make great captains. Ofc there are exceptions here and there. But overall, I can think of a lot of people across fields both in sports, politics and corporate.

Thats very true. Morgan Dhoni Ponting all average or short.
Same in politics. Putin etc.
In corporate all tech leaders are all short or average. Only fashion ones and media have tall ceos.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They were up against top quality bowling. They just couldn't get anywhere.

Really he read your posts. Wah g.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

England has played worse cricket than Pakistan. Atleast we fought against Australia and SouthAfrica and I feel we have been little unlucky. Look at England where Michael Vaughan who was making fun of Pakistan team.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

I don't think India will win the trophy.

They may win 8-1 or 9-0 in group stage but I expect them to drop one knockout game (probably to Australia).

At this rate India might again face NZ in semis. SA vs Aus in Semis I guess. I hope we put it across NZ first. If we reach finals I'd want to face SA anyday of the week, than Aus.

 

[nish_mate]

England team is too soft. Full of private school softies.

Morgan may have been soft in nature but he was a tactical genius. Shrewd man. Knew exactly how to set up traps. When to attack and how to play as a unit.

Morgan was anything but soft, Hales prime example..
Made sure never played for Eng as long as Morgan was in charge

 

[sweep_shot]

They were up against top quality bowling. They just couldn't get anywhere.

It was also bad batting. Combination of both perhaps.

A team like England shouldn't be 102/8.

 

[rhony]

Maybe my criticism woke him up. You ever think of that ? Still this isn't a flat pitch bro. Needs to prove on a flattie. Ball is doing things here.

There won't be flat pitches in knock outs. India still can't get over that green pitch welcoming them against NZ in 2019 SF. Now it's time for SENA to face the music

 

[jnaveen1980]

English fans can forgive them for this failure. This is a solid bowling unit. But failure against Srilanka is unforgivable. That too batting first. Angelo matthews of all the people came out and bullied them.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Brutal consistency from the bowlers, best white ball bowling attack we've had I think. This bowling attack deserves a WC win for its legacy

 

[Devadwal]

What is different between india and England?
There are eight team between india and England - Ravi shastri

 

[kron]

But it was flat when indian Batsman were batting ? Oh Boy must be hard for you

No really. If Pakistan don't win, like I said I prefer India or Lanka winning. I am quite happy. I don't hold hatred bro. Indian batsmen like I mentioned 2 of them need to replaced. Trust me you would be even better.

 

[nish_mate]

Rashid to do it for England.

 

[globetrotter]

those who were criticising Sky now realising the importance of his innings of 49

 

[kron]

india are pretty much unbeatable atm

Still untested for 320 330 scores. If a team scores that much, I am not convinced they can chase. If they replace the 2 players I mentioned then maybe.

 

[Abraham786]

Play sky enough of Iyyer that Guy is showing in every match he deserve a place in legendary King Babar 11

 

[rhony]

Wait a minute!!! Are the bazballians playing for NRR now?

 

[Itachi]

Morgan was anything but soft, Hales prime example..
Made sure never played for Eng as long as Morgan was in charge

What is Morgan vs, hales

 

[pillionrider]

Really he read your posts. Wah g.

@kron comes up with theorems and challenges Kohli and others to prove them knowing there is no proof for those theorems.

 

[FearlessRoar]

England should have won this game

 

[kron]

Morgan was anything but soft, Hales prime example..

He was soft In the sense that he wasn't in your face kind of person like Ponting or kohli.

 

[kron]

@kron comes up with theorems for which there is no proof.

Again still hasn't delivered on a flat pitch. Also pressure from high quality seamwrs helped.

 

[globetrotter]

Best way to beat India. Bat hard and bat big. 300 to 330 and just get the early wickets. Easier said than done. But that is the way to go.

Pakistan tried that many times but didn’t work

 

[nish_mate]

What is Morgan vs, hales

Hales failed a drugs test, spliff or something and Morgan never forgave h for that

 

[JattMaula]

He was soft In the sense that he wasn't in your face kind of person like Ponting or kohli.

Out former kaptaan isn't "hard". He is a 32 yo brat.

 

[kron]

Yea but then your batsmen csnt score either. Sluggish isn't good for viewership. Needs to be something for everyone.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Sixer by Willie
He has two t20 hundreds to his name

 

[jnaveen1980]

Again still hasn't delivered on a flat pitch. Also pressure from high quality seamwrs helped.

To be fair Ahmedabad pitch was flat. Dharam sala was flat too with no turn.

 

[Devadwal]

England should have won this game

Small total and dew ( Starting from England innings) still they are losing like minnows.

 

[sweep_shot]

England should have won this game

Yeah. It was in the bag.

They could've won it just by taking it deep.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Correct me if I am wrong. Only the top 8 of this WC qualify for the CT 2025. So if ENg end up on 9 or 10 in the table they are in danger of missing the CT 2025. Pakistan being the host have a direct qualification anyway so it doesn't matter to them.

 

[JattMaula]

Willey with a stunning pull.

 

[nish_mate]

He was soft In the sense that he wasn't in your face kind of person like Ponting or kohli.

Yeah more of cold and calculating and shrewd like Steve Waugh

 

[BaaliSoda]

I trust our bowlers to come good even on a flat deck against any team (just wish the boundaries are decent in size like the one here in Lucknow or Ahmedabad).

 

[kron]

Yeah more of cold and calculating and shrewd like Steve Waugh

Ice cold.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Can England win from here?

 

[sweep_shot]

England's ODI team got ruined after Morgan's retirement.

Morgan should've stayed till 2023 World Cup.

 

[nish_mate]

Willey Willey Willey...Will he will he will he

 

[Devadwal]

Partnership is building

 

[kron]

Out former kaptaan isn't "hard". He is a 32 yo brat.

Rather that than babar anyday

 

[kron]

Oooooh catch gone there.

 

[Justcrazy]

India has looked a complete team here

 

[Devadwal]

Gill na kar yaar .no need of any risky dive.

 

[globetrotter]

119 needed in 17.3 overs …… England have great chance

 

[sweep_shot]

England have the worst NRR in this tournament (-1.634). Worse than BD's NRR and Netherlands's NRR.

It should get even worse today after this defeat.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Englilsh commentators are shell shocked. They still can't recover from the abject performances from this side they have been hyping for a while. I understand where Athers is coming from. But shouldn't he have given consideration to the fact these conditions are nothing like English conditions or Australian conditions.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Gill na kar yaar .no need of any risky dive.

On the contrary.. I want our fielders to dive around. Look at NZ and AUS. AUS won yesterdays match because of fielding against a world class NZ fielding unit.

 

[pillionrider]

Again still hasn't delivered on a flat pitch. Also pressure from high quality seamwrs helped.

You are setting standards which are usually met by GOATs. Why do you expect Kuldeep to bowl like a GOAT when he is just a very good bowler?

 

[kron]

Shami hair transplant helped him with form vitality and power?

 

[nish_mate]

Ice cold.

Yeah more Hannibal Lecter than Freddy Krugger

 

[Justcrazy]

Never seen a defending champion playing like this , pathetic performance by English.

 

[sindhiboy]

England batting will always struggle in bowling friendly conditions, even Root and Stokes dont have any answer.

Duckett, Crawley,Sam Hain, Liam Dawson should make the team. They would do a much better. For the seam bowling,
Saqib Mehmood is also a must once he becomes fit again.

 

[Devadwal]

Adil Rashid has 10 First-class hundred .

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Out former kaptaan isn't "hard". He is a 32 yo brat.

He performed in Australia when no else was in 2014. He made India a top team in Tests.

 

[nish_mate]

Willey and Rashid taking England, its coming home..team that is

 

[Sunzi]

Englilsh commentators are shell shocked. They still can't recover from the abject performances from this side they have been hyping for a while. I understand where Athers is coming from. But shouldn't he have given consideration to the fact these conditions are nothing like English conditions or Australian conditions.

TBH. It is shocking.

They've not just lost games. They've been crushed in all matches apart from Bangla. No competitiveness against anyone.

 

[rhony]

You are setting standards which are usually met by GOATs. Why do you expect Kuldeep to bowl like a GOAT when he is just a very good bowler?

Kuldeep is in his fantasy team every game. He got burned a bit after NZ game and is still upset.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bumrah is exceptional bowler

 

[kron]

You are setting standards which are usually met by GOATs. Why do you expect Kuldeep to bowl like a GOAT when he is just a very good bowler?

Just seen him get hit too many times and cower. Goes into a shell so I do not rate him. He is good but until he delivers when wickets are conducive to batting too I can't rate him as a top spinner. He can't really bat either. Ashwin or axar would be better options.

 

[Devadwal]

On the contrary.. I want our fielders to dive around. Look at NZ and AUS. AUS won yesterdays match because of fielding against a world class NZ fielding unit.

Yes when match was on edges . still England can win but we are far ahead .so there was no need of any risky dive.

 

[rhony]

England can bat all the way to number 11. That means they are all capable of scoring 10 runs

 

[NeVerMind]

England has played worse cricket than Pakistan. Atleast we fought against Australia and SouthAfrica and I feel we have been little unlucky. Look at England where Michael Vaughan who was making fun of Pakistan team.

Yeah but England have won the last two World Cups (ODI and T20) so we can forgive them for this performance...us, on the other hand...

 

[IndoorCricket]

Turning around?

 

[Justcrazy]

England lower order trying to reduce the lose margin .

 

[Srinath_cricket]

India giving away some easy runs here. Time to bring in spinners. Either they'll hit out or get out.

 

[nish_mate]

Dil Dil Adil..

 

[kron]

Kuldeep is in his fantasy team every game. He got burned a bit after NZ game and is still upset.

He was very mediocre in nz game.

 

[jnaveen1980]

TBH. It is shocking.

They've not just lost games. They've been crushed in all matches apart from Bangla. No competitiveness against anyone.

England's drop in performance is a quiet a good case study for others. That other teams can learn from.

 

[Devadwal]

Four fer for Shami

 

[rhony]

Rashid angered Shami way too much. Should have been ok with just just one 4 in the over

 

[7sins]

Bumrah is exceptional bowler

Shami also not far off

 

[sweep_shot]

Adil is out.

122/9.

Wood is in the crease. He can hit big.

 

[Abraham786]

This Bjp Puppet Gautam Gambhir Is so Rotlu all the time crying and hating Kohli, such a toxic Insan I hate these BjP Jokers Modi, Gautam. They were involved in politics against Kohli and when Kohli won them against pak they were celebrating shamelessly

 

[kron]

Shami deserves a world cup. Unreal bowler.

Now that's how you bowl.
