England vs India at Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham

Easy there, champ....

Australia = most dangerous side.

Australia sent India home in the last WCC.

We have already defeated them in League

England after 40 were 243/4 India 234/4

105 needed in last 10 overs. It is touch and go. I still think England will win it.

That India can defeat any side, is not in question.

WCC create lot of pressure on teams, and Australians have nerves of steel (ideal for coping with pressures of WCC).

Teams find themselves in 'either a hit or a miss' situation in WCC.

Yeah, but 10 runs defeat would still be a win for England. Secondly, those runs were scored without pressure of chase. Indian's task is that much harder 10 runs are 10 runs, sometimes you are short by 2/3 runs.

If and when one of these go down, India would be under severe pressure.

India is well versed with pressure matches. We see them all the time in IPL. 10 runs an over in an inconsequential match for India is no big deal.

We have 4 overs of part time bowlers. Dhoni will wait for them to come on.

morgan took a big gamble by handing the ball to rashid...fortunately nothing went wrong...but a stupid move considering how good a player pandya is aginst spin

There is no over of part time bowlers. 10 overs between Rashid and Stoke are completed. that's why he gave one over to Rashid now rather then at the end.

12.3 runs an over needed.

Only 5 scored in 44th over. becoming harder for India.

Mark wood is going at 7 an over.

 

[LeGenD]

Plunkett on attack.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

Bad batting in the last 3 or 4 overs

So did 3 of your main bowlers. Point is!!!

It's absolutely bonkers. This Indian approach. If they have to lose, why not lose playing bigger shots. Instead, Dhoni just wants to take singles and let me tell, he is only able to takes singles because that is what Englishmen have planned otherwise he is not even good at taking singles anymore.

He doesn't not seem to have that natural ability of hitting anymore either, his shots are premeditated that's why he is unable to make big shots these days. He retired from test where he will actually fit at the moment. Pandya is just Pandya, he is trying but he is just a connector, England bowling him same length and he is hitting hard but to same place again and again. India number one in ranking but not best.

Panday was struggling and finally gave an easy catch...
