Not only bowled behind his legs, but middle stump.


Onya Brooksy. Stokesy and Rooty would be disappointed.

I said it earlier, we’ll give it a bash today to try to set up a win, doesn’t mean we are disrespecting the game, we just want to win at the cost of possibly losing the game, nothing more

Thin line between wanting to win while playing aggressively and absolute stupidity

This is why despite playing more test cricket than other country, England under Bazball are yet to play a WTC final

They need to bring back Jason Roy aka Royy

Old duck face?

 

[SkyBlue]

This won't be an easy chase. We need to bowl them out under 200.

The path to a WTC Final is less cricket, not more.

Byes having a strong game…

 

[centurymaker]

Actually is. World of difference between Eng hacking their way to a target and India having to chase. We don't want to be chasing many more than 200.

There's no way India will be able to dismiss all TEN batters for any less than 250! It's a very long lineup. Bound to be at least one big partnership down the line and target will get out of India's reach. Reckon it will be closer to 300.

England might lose 5/120 but then recover to 250/7.

 

[GIMH]

Game in a fascinating spot really. India well on top but a partnership here then Smith to come could really wrest the momentum. Fuming to be in the office tomorrow

Settle down. Their bowling coaches are Tim Southee and Jeetan Patel. India can chase 450.

 

[wpdavid]

Consecutive 4 byes can't have happened too often.

And to have a good over rate (unless your over rate is slow but your past it opener has a whinge to his mates to get an absurd loophole in place)

What you get for implementing a template created by someone who averaged < 40 and finagled an indigenous son of the soil out of the captaincy boo.

If there is one chink in Bumrah's armor as a bowler, its his bouncers. Just feel they are basically telegraphed.

Well at least two of them dismissed themselves.

Yeah he's not really the best short pitch bowler IMO, I don't really remember many spells from him where he really gets the batsman hopping in the way Rabada/Cummins do. That's mostly down to the way he bowls ofc but he's certainly a lesser bowler when he doesn't attack the stumps.

 

[Ju7]

25 overs bowled.4 wickets down and none for Bumrah.India will be pleased but there is still a way to go yet as England still have batting to come.

 

[Johan]

need Stokes to channel his inner Len Hutton, sit Brook down and yell at him until he decides to never do stupid nonsense again, being a strokemaker is fine but there's a fine line between when you can be Viv Richards and when you can be Virender Sehwag.

Yeah in his earlier days he used to have a good bouncer but now I see rare.
