ODI World Cup

I hope they just go at it, even with the low run rate it's not our style to play tentatively, will just get bowled out for >150.

 

[mackembhoy]

Think that is an okay score from India.

 

[Bears Beets]

230 to win, I would’ve snapped your hand and arm off for that at the start

That was excellent from Woakes. He and Willey set the tone for a hugely improved performance.

 

[Nasser Butt-Head]

Shame about that final ball, but Willey has done a good job.

Yadav. The commentators seem to think he’s a superhero.

Aaah right, makes sense now

 

[Hongkongphooey]

They've done well so far today , hopefully the wheels don't come off when we bat

 

[Nasser Butt-Head]

And Rash followed that up...

 

[Boo]

Is that score about par? My pessimism may be getting in the way of my judgement.

 

[Turner the Cat]

Let's hope England bat sensibly now. Wouldnt put it past them to try and smash their way to the target in 25 overs

Well they probably need to for NRR sake tbf, if they think they can still qualify rather than just treating it as a one off to get one over on India

 

[Inside Forward]

Sky do my head in. Wanking off India. Starting to wonder if they’re in the BCCI’s pocket too.

Smashing it in 25 overs is exactly what we did when confident and playing well

 

[Nasser Butt-Head]

He's an absolute machine in T20 cricket tbf.

So in a final 10 overs an ODI big wicket to get with overs left.

Has he done much outside the IPL though? I don't watch it and don't get the hype.

Yeah, noticed that too. Why can't they just call a spade a spade. As good as England were in the field, India were just as bad with the bat.

Hopefully we knock these off relatively easily and help our shit NRR. Still not mathematically out of it.

I suspect there are millions more Indian cricket fans watching on Sky than English fans??

Just a thought.

 

[turnthetide3]

I'd rather the producer showed the potters-wheel than a bunch of bollywood bruisers acting daft - sober as well!

 

[Nasser Butt-Head]

In India or this country? Sky should remain impartial, heck if anything, we pay their subs, they should be partial to us.

This is it. They need to show balls and risk defeat (and absolute meltdown on this board ) in order to bump the NRR up. 35 overs would be a sensible target imo.

I suspect you’re wrong.

Even if it’s the case they should be impartial.

Sky like all multi nationals are towing the main party narrative. Fuck them the sly kernts

No Sky in India, it's Star Sports which is owned by Disney.
