Hope Rishabh panth gets a game.

 

[joly]

India should look to try Pant,Mandeep here, sadly Kuldeep and sarfraz were not part of the probables even

 

[Gabbar Singh]

A big blow for India.

From cricinfo:

"Some early news coming in. Umpire C Shamsuddin has said he's not feeling 100% and will not be one of the two on-field umpires today, and will instead be on third-umpire duties. Shamsuddin has been in the news quite a bit lately - he gave the contentious lbw decision against Joe Root during the second T20I that caused England's captain Eoin Morgan "extreme frustration". Root himself has had his say since, and feels it's now time T20s had DRS as well. "

 

[joly]

Manish Pandey gets dropped,Pant debuts, no game for Mandeep

 

[Ankit007]

So everyone gets their wish. pant is in

 

[Stallion__]

I have something really important to do but I don't want to miss watching this Pant dude. Guess I will watch it only as long as he stays there.

 

[JaDed]

So everyone gets their wish. pant is in

No Yuvi should had been chucked not Pandey lol what tragedy.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Bangalore generally a high scoring ground however reports suggests that there are a lot of cracks in this pitch.

 

[Pollack]

Pitch is always opposite to experts pitch report. A high scoring game coming your way.

 

[Ankit007]

Poor virat losing tosses one after the other in a row...

 

[Ankit007]

Isn't it a small stadium. Boundaries are showing about 70m

 

[Statsman]

England have been winning tosses since tests. Have been very very fortunate.

Btw Pant isn't opening. Lets hope this one is a big scoring game.

 

[abhayjj]

Why didn't they pick kedar jadhav in the team?

 

[Ankit007]

On man why is pant not opening??? Kohli should come one down

 

[Ankit007]

Why didn't they pick kedar jadhav in the team?

Not in squad

 

[abhayjj]

Not in squad

that's what I m asking, Why isn't he in the squad?

 

[Ankit007]

Kohli run out

 

[joly]

Kohli putting his blame o K L Rahul lol..... really poor ,there was no run

 

[JaDed]

Virat overreacting, has been his worst T20 series for sure. Captaincy taking a toll on him here atleast,should stick to 1 down.

 

[Pollack]

Kohli wants risky singles always.

the wickets were also the easiest for a visiting team since may be 2008 SA tour

 

[IgnitedMind]

I think he was saying...should have said no earlier...rahul almost came mid pitch as well

 

[Protea Fan]

Abysmal from kohli that was solely his mistake and behaving the otherway

 

[Pollack]

Abysmal from kohli that was solely his mistake and behaving the otherway

Nah! Both were equally responsible.

 

[JaDed]

Lmao@ Raina almost gave the catch as a practice.

 

[Pollack]

Mills bowling well here.

 

[Ankit007]

First ball over pitched and boom

 

[Pollack]

What a beautiful shot! Rahul flicks! Another one !

 

[Ankit007]

Another till the time they were bowling back of the length runs were dried up and now hitting boundaries

 

[Drreddymd]

What a beautiful shot! Rahul flicks! Another one !

Pollack ji any predictions for todays game

 

[Pollack]

Raina is worst ever player against short balls! Only Moeen is competition.

 

[Justcrazy]

india looking more aggressive today

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahul is in sublime form.

 

[Ankit007]

Anyone else misses utthappa walking on the pitch towards bowler and hitting it for six?

 

[Pollack]

Pollack ji any predictions for todays game

Dr Dre ji Close matchji

 

[JaDed]

Raina lol playing dangerously.

 

[Justcrazy]

29-1

4 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Raina is a dangerous player in this format.

 

[JaDed]

Stokes playing with Raina there

 

[Justcrazy]

India will want at least 50 in first six overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Raina

 

[Justcrazy]

39-1

5 overs

 

[JaDed]

English are going to murder us on this ground !!

 

[Ankit007]

India will want at least 50 in first six overs

Mission accomplished

 

[Pollack]

English are going to murder us on this ground !!

Yeah straight boundaries are 55m only.

 

[Ankit007]

English are going to murder us on this ground !!

Imagine hardik bowling here.... 4 overs and at least will give 6 sixes alone

 

[Ankit007]

Ball lost... Lol

 

[Pollack]

Massive Massive Six out of stadium!

 

[Ankit007]

Oh please no yuvi now...

 

[Pollack]

Dhoni promoted ahead yuvraj

 

[Syed1]

KL "better than Babar" Rahul, with a 18 ball innings of 22 where he hit 2 fours and a six. Meaning 14 off 3 balls and 8 off 15 balls. All the while playing in the powerplays.

Was a no ball

 

[Ankit007]

Rahul was out on no ball and none stopped him... Lolllzzz

 

[joly]

That was a No ball by 6 Inches!!!!! lol Patriotic Shamshuddin's absence has already paid off England and given them a big chance

 

[JaDed]

Kohli not giving chances to youngsters,Pant is so down that its almost a joke,I must say I ve started to hate his LOI captaincy already.

Wanted left and right combination on field

 

[Ankit007]

Dhoni's first

 

[Ankit007]

Fifty for Raina....

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Rashid Bhai chale amrika

 

[Statsman]

Will England still cry against poor umpiring? Guess they'll take this one gleefully.

 

[TestMatch]

Raina looks so good in IPL and T20, and so bad in international ODIs. The contrast is so jarring.

 

[Ankit007]

Pitch has spin?

 

[Drreddymd]

Joe root talk nah about umpiring

 

[Pollack]

Dhoniji not timing well.

 

[Ankit007]

Will England still cry against poor umpiring? Guess they'll take this one gleefully.

We will lose this match because of that.. pathetic umpiring

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Batting too slow on this pitch.

Our batsmen have been scratchy for most part.

Some balls are keeping low though.

 

[Ankit007]

Dhoniji not timing well.

Eh... What??? Lolllzzz

 

[Drreddymd]

Raina looks so good in IPL and T20, and so bad in international ODIs. The contrast is so jarring.

He was veey good untill recently. He was selected for nz odis but due to chickenpox he didnt play

 

[Pollack]

Eh... What??? Lolllzzz

Even that wasn't timed well. Short straight boundary. Cleared it barely.

 

[Ankit007]

I hope pant comes in now... Not yuvi please...

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

An India vs Pakistan t20 match would be nice but I wish India bats first next time whenever it happens. If Pakistan bats first it becomes very very boring

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pant played Mustafizur very well in the IPL, the kid is the next De Kock

 

[Ankit007]

Who will give more runs today Bumrah or Pandya???

 

[Pollack]

Why play pant if he is not going to bat )

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Who will give more runs today Bumrah or Pandya???

Bumrah just won India the last game, he is equivalent to waqar younus

 

[Ankit007]

Pant played Mustafizur very well in the IPL, the kid is the next De Kock

Sarfaraz played steyn well... He might be our next de villears

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Sarfaraz played steyn well... He might be our next de villears

The kid has talent written all over it, it was unfair to drop him because of his big appetite

 

[Pollack]

Who will give more runs today Bumrah or Pandya???

Legend Ashish Nehra

 

[Stallion__]

India's new policy of not giving youngster a chance in top 6
