Hole in the pitch after the first ball? :)))

What's going on.
 
That other pitch near the boundary is completely black and dead.
 
Kane batting with zero confidence, there was no single there.
 
I think Chasing will not be easy on this pitch. England needs take quick wickets now.
 
Kane needs to hit out now, enough consolidating. Time for CDG.
 
Helicopter shot from Kane.

Wth is going on? :)))

Batting like Tendulkar, Guptill, AB and Dhoni in one innings :)))
 
Chapman may be small, but man he has some real power.

Front front smash for six.
 
That wicket by Jordan showed how he targetted the wicket instead of blindly following the batsman around the crease. Wahab when presented with such a situation would ball an extremely wide ball.
 
Ah, nice little knock from Chapman.

Looking forward to seeing more of him, hopefully he gets a chance in the ODI team. Seems like only a matter of time before he's brought into there.
 
Great knocks from Kane and Guptill.

Chapman and Seifert really impressed.
 
Too many loose balls, England can chase this.

Need to keep the openers quiet in the PP overs.
 
England is such an attractive team to watch. The best LOI batting line-up in the world by a country mile.

The same Boult who was running rings around our batters is getting bashed to kingdom come here.
 
RRR down to under 10, need to get Hales or he's going to win this game.

Lol not even close, it's India by far.

None of their batsmen compare to Rohit and Kohli in full flow.

Rohit is hit and miss. Dhawan and Kohli is India's batting line-up basically. This England batting line-up is a procession of hulked up beasts right down to number 9. Any of them can destroy you on their day.
 
Good overs getting killed by the late boundaries, need to do better on the last two balls.

They're not the best to watch, nowhere near it.

Kohli has more class than the entire team combined.

Subjective. Kohli carries India literally. Becomes boring for a neutral after a while.

England is just awe-inspiring. They have a very good chance to chase this down tonight.
 
^A great batting line up needs a mix of these class batsmen and hitters. England only really have hitters.

Kohli is elite and GOAT tier, both him and Rohit are elite finishers when in full flow. When in the zone, nearly every second ball goes to the boundary.

Dude, I don't even get mad at Kohli or Rohit hitting boundaries against us because they're usually stunning shots.

To each their own. England is a template to be honest. With Stokes back, they are literally a soul crushing batting line-up. The bowling is ordinary, but any cricket fan would tune in to watch this batting line-up go at it. Even if you score 400, you are not safe against this batting side.

Meh, most of them are your typical T20 batsmen. Most of them aren't pleasing on the eye and more power than touch players. I prefer touch and elegance.

Roy, Hales, Buttler, Malan, Bairstow, Stokes and Morgan are only T20 batsmen?

Haven't seen much of Roy or Malan. The others are more bashers than touch. Although Hales and Morgan seem more compact and have more to their game.

Like OZ coach said, let Eng win some silverware with this approach !
 
Bowlers finally under some pressure with the batsmen going after them in T20s, happened against Pakistan and now England. Need to do much better and look to contain and build pressure with singles. Key is the 5th and 6th ball.

Firm favourites for the World Cup. Their weakness is their bowling attack. A bowling attack which has atleast three 90+ mph bowlers. Lol. Its a scary team if they click.

They just devastated Australia in Australia recently.

Why are they favorites? Tournaments are about handling pressure and what have they done to suggest they can do it? I'd back India, Pakistan (already thrashed them last time they were faves :))) ) and Aus to beat them when it matters.

Just need a couple of good overs to finish this game, but whenever it looks like we have it the last 2 balls end up going to the boundary.
