[Bhaijaan]

good

 

[asifp]

i am not a big fan of taking the batting power play before the 40th over.

never seems to achieve anything, except losing wickets

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dhoni

 

[Bhaijaan]

It's good for England then.

 

[WNC]

The outfield is lightning fast and the ground relatively small as compared to Lanka, the ball just rockets to the fence

 

[AZ]

shot of the match !

it was a long hop, any proper player would have put that away.

 

[NJamal]

247/3 after 40 overs

 

[NJamal]

If England bowl tightly in last 10 overs and give around 70-75 runs in last ten overs they are still in this game.

 

[saj001]

LOL at yuvraj

agree usually.

But in this sort of position, where you're extremely strong, it's good. Helps them score some quick boundaries middle of the game. In the last few overs they'll still have so many wickets that they can just go mad anyway.

I didn't agree with the way Sri lanka used it last match.

 

[NJamal]

Slow Bouncer by Bresnan

 

[Bhaijaan]

Memorable knock this-

yuvi and dhoni wasting powerplay

 

[AZ]

I think it was a mistake to send Yuvi ahead of Virat, he is simply playing for himself ever since he came to the xcrease, has taken away momentum from the innings.

 

[samplepiece]

32/1 off the powerplay

 

[NJamal]

251/3 after 41 overs, Keep it tight England

 

[asifp]

Yep, trying to get too creative with the batting powerplay

5 over 32 runs 1 wicket.

I bet they would have done better without the power play.

Powerplay always use them in the 42-43 over unless you are running out of batsman.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

power play works in favour of england

 

[sam]

PP wasted, IMO.

Undoing all the work Tendulkar did.

 

[NJamal]

Wide

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yuvraj playing for himself

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Single

 

[Deewana Mastana]

2 runs Good running

 

[sam]

Dhoni literally drags Yuvraj for the second.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

 

[samplepiece]

Yardi - left arm medium

 

[Bhaijaan]

!

we need more of those. things have slowed down

 

[Deewana Mastana]

262/3 after 42 overs

 

[NJamal]

263/3 after 42 overs

 

[Sanchez]

Waterboy struggling

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shahzad comes back

 

[NJamal]

Shahzad back into attack

 

[Bhaijaan]

India has to scoren80 off last 8 !

 

[ads101]

I'm struggling to believe Yardy is out bowling Swann here. He's going for just 5 an over, which isn't bad at all. Indians should be laying into Yardy who bowls extremely defensively without threatening the wicket at all. Instead they're laying into Swann, the guy who's more likely to get you out if you go after him.

Interesting to note that even on these spin friendly pitches Shahzad and Bresnan have restricted India. Just like Akhtar did in the Sri Lanka match. I think people are underestimating the importance of good fast bowlers. Bowl well with good line and length and you could very well take the Juggernaut India down. Spinning India out of the game doesn't look too much like a likely possibility.

Bresnan's recent form is outstanding. Definitely locked down the position of third fast bowler. Makes the batting line up of England a lot stronger too.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Starts off with a 87.7 mph

 

[Deewana Mastana]

 

[AZ]

too short and picked up over square leg.

what rubbish from Yuvraj, idiot is ball watching on a simple single!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yuv )

 

[Afzal_K]

shahzad should get back to bhiryano business, saala pakistaniyo ki naak katwa raha hain

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dot balls

 

[BaaliSoda]

We need at least another 50 runs from remaining 6.3 overs


279 for 3 at 43.4 overs

 

[yadunoe]

poor shehzad got raped last over

 

[Bhaijaan]

damn this yardy boy is hard to put away

 

[BaaliSoda]

281 for 3 after 44 overs

 

[MC]

I remember in the last Champion Trophy, the average score was 300. So I hope England doesn't end up panicking if India cross 300 landmark. Though they look well set for 350.

 

[AZ]

yeh log kya kar rahe hain.

 

[NJamal]

281/3 after 44 overs

 

[Watsupdoc]

Anderson.... ) He's been awful....

 

[Theo_14]

The atmosphere is just brilliant, seriously 50 over or longer format of the game wouldn't be labelled so dead from the younger generation of cricket fans if we had crowds like this.

 

[saj001]

yeh log kya kar rahe hain.

Mexican wave?

 

[Munna]

the current situation suggests that they shud go above 330!
but shehzad comes back to bowl .. so it cud be well beyond 350 :/

 

[BaaliSoda]

4 for UV

 

[Deewana Mastana]

 

[kashmiri_lad]

by Yuvi.

 

[AZ]

swiped over midwicket.

50 partnership.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

[Bhaijaan]

i am getting angry at this thuk thuk now !

you have yousuf pathan , harbhajan, kohli to come then why are you scared of hititng it in air

 

[samplepiece]

UV coming back to form could be the biggest gain from this game for India

 

[Khabri420]

350 is definitely on the cards for India. Seems like a pretty poor effort by England

 

[emclub]

Whats goin on here????
