Dhoni has infected the rest of the team.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2019
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Ben Stokes vs Freddie Flintoff. Pick one.
This is awful batting.
Who knows about the rest, certainly don't see it in Kohlis personality. No way he's going to try and lose anything.
It’s bollocks, no chance would Kohli want to lose today. He just realises the importance of his and Sharma’s wicket. Still playing extremely well though, 50 with a strike rate of 85. Stage set for him.
Why would India want Pakistan out? Guaranteed win for them in the semi-final or final if both advance.
Absolutely. If these two can bat at only this pace, just have to accept it and hope the gears turn in the last 20.
No two other batsmen in world cricket I'd want at the crease.
Guaranteed win!
They are setting it up to chase ~180 in the last 20 overs.. T20 style.
Small ground. Plenty of big hitters.. Dhoni, Pant, Pandya... Ideally a set Rohit/Kohli at the crease.

We are in a good position. Keep the pace and rotate well and it’s possible but still tough.
We had some high scoring overs since. Its now turned into a good partnership.
There isn't a better batting duo in World ODi cricket than these two.
What a shot.
The thing is, India has a lot of hitting power with Pant, Pandya and Dhoni. If these two can bat till the 40th, take the score to 200,220 I would say India can win this. But one of these two will have to stay till the end
Do you not think what happens later is a function of what happens earlier? This has happened every match..
If these two stay till 40 India have pretty much won it imo.
If Pant or Dhoni come in the last 10 overs needing 100 or so they could struggle. Would rather one of them comes in a little early and has a while to get in before going berserk.
This is awesome batting.
Won't take 40 overs to reach 200 these two batsman.
If Rohit bats till 45, we'll win. No bigger hitter than him.
Yes Dhoni has to come in next, not Jadhav. Dhoni will have to rotate the strike though, no dot ball galore. And then boom boom
Yes, true. Should be looking to get somewhere between 220 and 250. 100 in the last 10 us doable
Boooo
Fecks sake Virat
Loose dismissal ffs
Vince came good with the catch.Massive wicket. Soft from Kohli.
Now its definitely over
See ya
Surprised that gimp Vince didn't drop it
Pant needs to come now. Can't afford Dhoni to come in and put pressure on Rohit with his ball wasting.
Once again Kholi gives his wicket away after getting 50. Another soft one.
Plunkett just has that knack.
Always seems to get a big wicket

What a time for a world cup debut - go well
Massive wicket. That's the problem with India's slow build up. It works as long as they don't lose too many wickets.
Looks like he's got the nerves
Pant
Dear God.This is why the earlier approach is not the way to go. Basically betting it all on Rohit and Kohli finishing the job. RR will be 10 soon. No chance to win.
