England vs India at Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham

[kmc_chacko]

first over maiden by Woakes.
Already pressure mounting on India. If lose by big margin, the run rate would go down and pressure truly on.
I wish Afghanistan had played sensibly and beaten Indians. It would have the effect of "Cat among the pigeons".

India has the points so no need of worrying for NRR

English dropped Rohit Sharma in 1st over - 4th bowl.

Dude with our current middle order woes we can't afford a 5 specialist bowler squad

present team should go either with specialist batsman or bowlers, what is the use of having VS & KJ when we are not using them ?

 

[maximuswarrior]

Dropped. English body language not good.

 

[crankthatskunk]

Catch, a simple catch dropped of Sharma.
wooooooooooooooooo England what have you done. It was a simple catch as slip catches go.

 

[maximuswarrior]

root will be responsible for eng loss today. BC. batted like pakistani batsman and dropped rohit's catch like a pakistani fielder.

Root indeed slowed down and dropped a catch.

I was seeing headlines yesterday that Jofra Archer wont be playing, and he is bowling now, why do people spread false news?

 

[crankthatskunk]

Rahul gone, India's turmoil beginning.

 

[Kabira]

Rahul gone. Yeah India isnt winning this. Now Pak only hope is NZ winning against ENG which sound even more impossible.

It wasn't false news, he has a slight side niggle. But England played him because they need to win both matches..

India is badly missing Dhawan

Dude they are still on 11, on 11 they can go out if they don't win their matches. So pressure is coming if they lose today.

 

[Halls]

Rahul ko dekh Kar lagta hai ki inki hamesa fati rehti hai.

I have seen him the way he bats on crease and his expression in all matches of this WC and he never seems calm and composed. He should be dropped from team and taught to be calm. It is as if he is worried about being absolutely perfect in executing each shot and distracted by thought of cementing his position in absence of Dhawan.

 

[Tom_Cruise]

India can get this target easily, but it really depends if they want to. Theres no pressure on them like on England.

 

[crankthatskunk]

4.1 overs 9 runs 1 down and 2nd could have been down, if simple catch taken in slip.
India is under pressure.

India on 11 points with +1.16 run rate. Lose today and the Net RR goes to like +.450 and lose against Bangladesh NRR goes down in -, game is on then.
