2nd Semi Final | Ind vs Eng | Adelaide, 10 Nov 2022

[GIMH]

@Burgey speaking of commentators called Ravi, I had TMS on for the school run, which was during the India innings, and Ravi Bopara was in the box claiming he'd had dinner with Adil Rashid and Chris Jordan the other night and that they'd both taken all of his field placement suggestions to SKY

 

[Athlai]

Sunil's mates bookie is in so much trooooouble

 

[Prince EWS]

jeez with all due respect to india this is just pathetically low energy

Please clap.

 

[sledger]

yeah I'm not a huge body language guy but the lack of intensity and energy in the field is real bad

isn't this just standard India though

The Kohli sulk comes out literally every time he's not able to downhill ski

 

[duffer]

When the Test matches start? They've forced so much of this T20 ****e down our throats the past couple of years

I wonder if social was there.

it's okay, they'll all perk up at the prospect of qualifying for the next IPL final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in from of 100k fans and earning millions of dollars for it

-.-

LMAO, this thrashing rekindles the memories of 2003 World Cup

 

[Burgey]

The comedy value here is the looks on the Indian players’ faces when they’ve had everything laid out for them to get the W by the organisers and they’ve forgotten they had to actually play their part as well. A very entitled outfit

"Put men on the boundary"

 

[straw man]

Feeling a little less bad about how crap NZ were now.

Just reemphasises the high variability of T20 and how a couple of things going right on the day can be decisive imo. Any of the top six teams can beat the others any day and you wouldn't make one of those teams more than a 60-65% favourite against another.

And yeah this match has been a clone of the first semi.

hardik tried earlier to fire up the crowd but that was literally it. really surprised at how gentle they're going into good night here, usually a bloke like Kohli would be hurling himself around to do something, anything, to make this less of a procession

 

[Pup Clarke]

jeez with all due respect to india this is just pathetically low energy it's as if they're waiting to be ethered ffs
not to have a sook about appearances but it's a real bad look for a professional team

I agree. Body language looks really poor and that fielding 'effort' at long leg exemplifies it. A relay fielding effort that was completely unnecessary and almost comical

They're also just not that good itbt. SA in the group stages exposed them

 

[Kirkut]

But bloody hell, England has one heck of a batting line up. ATG quality

honestly England could have run five on that if they'd pushed harder

 

[chris.hinton]

Pakistan are very worried as well. England will just have to turn up and win the final

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The crowd is really quiet, apart from the handful of English supporters

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Trouble for India is that for once they've got pretty mediocre spinners (great in tests though).

I called it. Worse spinners than the rest of the semifinalists, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, plus Aus and SA if they'd had the brains to drop a quick each for Agar or Shamsi. Even the Dutch and Zimbabwean spinners were useful.

Reminds me of @Dhonisgland and his comments about the bus.
