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

[kron]

He can be like Sehwag at best. Which is great, but some calling him the next in line after Sachin or Kohli are delusional. I rate Jaiswal a lot higher

Jaiswal
Yes 100%. Kid is really good. He should have played ahead of these old fellas in reality.
Also loooooooooooooooool
Keeeeeng is gone. Hahahahahahha

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Never saw King Kohli losing wicket in such a manner
Pressure got better of him.
Glad we will test our middle order now

 

[BouncerGuy]

Willey has got a big wicket here. In form kohli is gone for 0. India is 2 down now for 27 runs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Here comes the top order collapse India was talking about.

 

[kron]

Keeeeeeeng lol.
The keeeeng haha.
Told you. If you get dots against him, build pressure you will get him. But make sure he never settles. Got to get him early always.

 

[Sunzi]

Gill is overrated, what he have done so far in WC? Failures

Nah. I don't think he's overrated, just overzealous.

Needs to apply himself.

Kohli succumbs. Bit of pressure produces the wicket. Athers called it with the bit of fielding in the covers last ball and on the back of Woakes' over also.

 

[Thanos]

Good fielding resulted in wicket.
Kohli was getting itchy to get off the mark.

 

[Ahmed216]

Put something in the pitch for bowlers and watch Indian batsmen dance

 

[kron]

Never saw King Kohli losing wicket in such a manner
Pressure got better of him.
Glad we will test our middle order now

Test or is that the real ability in testing conditions?

 

[OldWarHorse]

Iyer gets an opportunity to step up this Cup

 

[globetrotter]

India's goal is to finish 2nd or 1st. I am not sure why they are playing slowly

Pitch is slow ..270 will b winning total

 

[kron]

Bouncer time. Bounce him willey. Woakes? Get wood in if he is playing.

Bouncer aur yea gaya.

 

[Sunzi]

This is good from England.

Shreyas gets a chance to step up.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

This is a slow and tennis ball bounce pitch. Should need play accordingly. Our batsmen are approaching it like a flat track. They shouldn't mind the dots at all. 270-280 is a winning score here.

 

[kron]

Iyer gets an opportunity to step up this Cup

I would instruct my pacers to bounce him. Straight to the body. But England lacks a bit of pace today.

 

[BouncerGuy]

WARNING:

GUYS please stay on the topic of this thread. Stop discussing individual and non-related players here. We have other threads available for comparison and stuff. All irrelevant posts will be removed.

 

[JattMaula]

Lucky Shreyash

 

[jnaveen1980]

Of al lthe guys these 130 k trundlers are causing problem.

 

[IAJ]

Lucky there, leading edge

 

[IAJ]

Dangerous to leave the ball like that

 

[Sunzi]

Woakes inducing the leading edge. He's bowling well.

 

[globetrotter]

Keeeeeeeng lol.
The keeeeng haha.
Told you. If you get dots against him, build pressure you will get him. But make sure he never settles. Got to get him early always.

But he will not play long inning in every match…. Now today Rahul and Iyer should score big knock

 

[IAJ]

Woakes has been outstanding

 

[kron]

Might be a helpful pitch but it's clear that these guys aren't so great in testing conditions vs swing which has been known anyway.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pitch is slow. He is bowling even slower at 130k. Once the new ball stops swinging India can dictate terms

 

[viking2559]

This is a slow pitch.They are finding it hard to time the ball.
Build the pressure and get them under 200.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Might be a helpful pitch but it's clear that these guys aren't so great in testing conditions vs swing which has been known anyway.

It is more like gift from Kohli. I don't think Willey was swinging or seaming like Woakes

 

[kron]

Pitch is slow. He is bowling even slower at 130k. Once the new ball stops swinging India can dictate terms

Pitch may be slow. 2 faced whatever you want to call it. But kohli is bad vs swing outside off.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Now, this is real test of our team

 

[IAJ]

I think Bumrah will be a handful here later on

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli tried to do a Rohit. This is the second time he tried to imitate Rohit. He should stop doing that. His game is different

 

[Sunzi]

Woakes has been outstanding

Just proves that whether you're a trundler or a tearaway, it matters not if you're disciplined. Something Pakistan could do well to learn.

He has taken advantage of the two-paced nature of the pitch, however.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think Bumrah will be a handful here later on

Pitch may settle down. Let us see how much they put up.

 

[kron]

But he will not play long inning in every match…. Now today Rahul and Iyer should score big knock

With kohli you have to clean him up early. Allow him to settle then he will punish you badly.

 

[MP2011]

That was really un Virat like stroke especially when he was still on nought.

 

[BouncerGuy]

India is in deep trouble here. 2 top batters are already back to the pavilion..

 

[IndoorCricket]

Unusual shot from Kohli tbh.

 

[JattMaula]

Both batters got out trying to hit out! I don't mind that too much.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Actually Woakes never bowled well in India as far as i can remember. Probably one of those surfaces he enjoys.

 

[Sunzi]

Pitch may settle down. Let us see how much they put up.

Apparently so, and the logic behind inserting India.

 

[kron]

I dont understand why india with so much talent select this useless sky. That guy is a t20 hack

 

[jnaveen1980]

They have this Malan creating chances.

 

[MP2011]

English fielding is top notch today

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

What a fielding by English guys
Malan, Stokes are doing wonders on that position

 

[jnaveen1980]

On a true wicket this trundlers would disappear lol Can't believe India is stuck against these 2 guys

 

[JattMaula]

Croud shouldn't be allowed vuvuzelas.

 

[Ali Active]

What are these crap horns killing the fun of the game

 

[Sunzi]

England are really fighting. It's transferring pressure on to India. Pakistani batting habits being showcased.

 

[kron]

Last 34 balls
9 runs.

Disgraceful batting.

 

[Devadwal]

Perfect match for us .we need to tested before big Game .win or lose doesn't matter as we have almost qualified for semi .
Middle order is most of time not tested in ICC event before knockout game .

 

[kron]

Lol such pathetic batting.

 

[Ahmed216]

Last 34 balls
9 runs.

Disgraceful batting.

Just a little bit of assistance for the bowlers. That's all it takes

 

[MP2011]

Last 34 balls
9 runs.

Disgraceful batting.

Rather English bowling and fielding is great today

 

[kron]

If you can't play woakes honestly then you can't call yourself a great player. Very average player he is. A trundler.

 

[kron]

Slow batting ruins cricket experience tbh.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lot of mistimed shots. Ball simply not coming on.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Pitch is not helpful for batting. Its 4th match on this venue. There are visible patches and wear and tear. Anything above 220 will be a challenging score unless there is no dew on evening time.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Interesting to see how Rohit adopts.

 

[globetrotter]

English team playing cricket without any pressure

 

[kron]

Power play is when you have to attack as fielders are in. Take advantage. It will be tough when fielders come out later.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If you can't play woakes honestly then you can't call yourself a great player. Very average player he is. A trundler.

He is a condition dependent bowler. He was one of the best bowler in the Ashes because of conditions. Otherwise an average bowler. Seen it many times in INdia.

 

[IndoorCricket]

250 seems like a challenging target

 

[Sunzi]

If you can't play woakes honestly then you can't call yourself a great player. Very average player he is. A trundler.

Woakes has bowled well and been supported by good fielding.

 

[globetrotter]

Pitch is not helpful for batting. Its 4th match on this venue. There are visible patches and wear and tear. Anything above 220 will be a challenging score unless there is no dew on evening time.

So we expect England batting collapse

 

[jnaveen1980]

Power play is when you have to attack as fielders are in. Take advantage. It will be tough when fielders come out later.

India doesn't depend on power play. INdia's major issue is always top order collapse.

 

[Devadwal]

Rashid will enjoy this surface

 

[kron]

I think today india won't get to 200.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even Rashid's ball is not coming on.

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit should play normal game on this pitch .260+ is good total on this surface

 

[jnaveen1980]

under lights ball may come on better. But India has to testt themselves either way as this can very well happen in the semi final. INdia did have a shocking collapse in the first game. But they had it under control

 

[Abraham786]

This is red soil wicket if dew don't come jadeja wil be most deadliest on this surface 250 will be match winning score

 

[IndoorCricket]

under lights ball may come on better. But India has to testt themselves either way as this can very well happen in the semi final. INdia did have a shocking collapse in the first game. But they had it under control

Kohli was there even then. losing Kohli exposes middle order.

 

[globetrotter]

India doesn't depend on power play. INdia's major issue is always top order collapse.

Today’s situation similar to Asia cup 1st match with Pak where Indian middle order scored 265

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian tail is way too long. So they will take their own time.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

India IMHO have misread the pitch. Ashwin should've been preferred ahead of Siraj.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

So we expect England batting collapse

Definitely
Jadeja, Shami will be very effective today

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli was there even then. losing Kohli exposes middle order.

Rohit nowadays plays fast and gets out and hands over to Kohli. He has no one to hand over to. So he has to bat for a while.

 

[Swashbuckler]

India has developed a mental block against English in ICC events of late.

 

[mominsaigol]

Rohit should play normal game on this pitch .260+ is good total on this surface

Australia and NZ eyeing their prey

 

[BouncerGuy]

11 overs, India is 39/2. seems very awkward as indian team is struggling here
