***Official*** England in India 2016/17

[Shri]

On what basis ?

Downhill skier.

Sivaramakrishnan just said 'Jew' Root.

To be honest, the good spinners are still good - it's just exposed the Raina's, Head's, etc. who were able to roll out some part time stuff in the middle.

Use of 2 new balls was introduced in 2011.. right after a successful world cup, where scores had been nice and reasonable and games had been competitive..

I suppose someone didn't like the fact that 3 of the semi-finalists were the 3 big SC teams, so why not make swing bowling last twice as long to expose their batsmen (in certain countries) and hinder their spin bowling .. (conspiracy theory)

2013 champions trophy - England
2015 world cup - Aus
2017 champions trophy - England
2019 World Cup - England

Yes, because as we all know the ICC often do things that annoy India. Clearly their modus operandi for last few years.

 

[Heboric]

Downhill skier.

Yeah right.

So you tell me that the teams Viv Richards / Michael Bevan were playing for were terrible and they always came in when their side was in trouble

 

[Shri]

Cbf.

 

[Howe_zat]

This chase is very much doable, like a Moeen Ali square drive

Will be interesting if they can get close to withing 60 runs of the target with Willey coming in.

"love the way kohli gets the crowd involved in the games. They were a little dull in the past few overs and you could see him pushing and gesturing to them to make some noise. #awesomecaptain"

muh passion

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is definitely on.

 

[ImpatientLime]

england will collapse in a heap.

ao for 310

 

[91Jmay]

Nah we have no chance. Neither of these look like they are striking it that well.

 

[Shri]

lolJaddu

 

[Shri]

Jadhavwas bowled too much.

 

[Daemon]

43rd over is definitely not when you want to bring Jadhav on..

Poor Bhuvi. Looked the best bowler, had a catch dropped off him and will now get his figures ruined by bowling in the death.

 

[srbhkshk]

Yeah, should have taken the good over they got. overdid it.

 

[CricAddict]

Now that he has bowled well, cue Umesh to slot back in right away in the next match in place of Bhuvi.

 

[MW1304]

Not a bad innings by any means but Morgan just hasn't looked fluent enough for this big a chase.

Edit: Also, only a minor thing, but surely you send Willey in before Woakes. Tell him to blast every ball, if it comes off you can get the required rate down so that even if it's just a cameo you have the steadier hand of Woakes, and even Plunkett, to play a more sensible innings.

I think Moeen hampered him a bit by grabbing majority of the strike tbh, he was looking good after 30ish balls.

Also shut up about the slower balls Sanjay, they work because you mix them with fast ones, you get smacked if you bowl 6 in a row.

 

[srbhkshk]

Also, Bhuvi is your best bowler kohli stop playing random idiots instead of him.
