Not sure why they are not slogging.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2019
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Ridiculous first 10 cost us.
Yes, the target is nearly 340, not 270.
Good effort by us to knock Pakistan out.
India has given up on the chase.
I'd rather get out trying than this nonsense.
Also, Shamis final two overs - those crappy full tosses.
Absolutely nothing happening
We've played the whole game as if we had to chase 300.
Even the target of 300 looks difficult tbh.
Plunkett you beauty!
Yup this is over. First ten overs cost us. Pathetic.
How has Plunkett not been picked until now? ffs
Was doable if we started well. Dhonis finished too. We should never have taken him.
It was Shami who leaked too many runs in the end. Also the spinners.
England have figured out Pandya - cutters and have the field spread out straight and covers and boom - he can't do anything. Just so.. mm.. ahem.. 1 dimensional 
Too much to chase at the end. Shami's poor 2 overs and our start have cost us the game. Given too much resoect to an average woakes.
10 overs and 27 is stupid. Rohit and Kohli are world class players but their approach was stupid.
That's it, game over
I would like to see England bowl first on a track like this, their bowlers are very good at containing but I doubt they have any wicket taking bowlers. But well done England nonetheless

Why did they ever drop Plunkett?
OVer but a good game.
True the only Indian bowler who comes out of this with any credit is Bumrah.
28 from the first 10 is pathetic. No point blaming the likes of Dhoni for it.
Besides England are bowling well at the death here.
yeah it's okay. Lessons learned for us.
92 off last 10 from England's position was not too bad for Indian actually. Bumrah made up for Shami's shit bowling. 330+ is always a very tough chase but we could have done better here. But like I said before the game started, hopefully we will learn from this chase even if we lose and better this defeat came now than knockouts. Looks like we can end up playing England again in semis too so Kohli's gotta pick up some lessons here.
I don't think England bowling has been great except for Archer. Woakes has been ok.
Hell is Jadhav doing?
This. Plus poor captaincy to only have Bumrah and Shami bowl all of the last 10 overs.
I'd rather drop Shami for Bhuvi and one of KulCha for Jadeja. Not sure if Mr 3d gets a look in over Kedar if he's not going to be bowling as well.
Plunkett has been very good.
Good batting pitch and we got 28 from first 10 against English bowlers 
Rather have inexperience and stupidity of pant than this test match player.

Nice single by Jadhav. Wtf is that?
Harsh to blame the bowlers when it was widely accepted that it's a 350 run pitch.
If it's really a 350 run pitch, wtf have our batsmen done?
He’s gonna do the impossible, get 63 from 25 in singles
Get rid off Jadhav and Kuldeep and get Bhuvi and Jadeja.
This is the worst death hitting ever.

Who else would you have bowled in last 10?
Why would you drop Shami and one of Kuldeep/Chahal?

On this kind of pitch, we might need to play all 3 seamers and drop one spinner.
Fair point. Just feel they are all mostly middling seamers not that different from say Pandya.
These two are fecking useless.
What's going on?
Also, our batting is a huge bore fest. fecking despise it.
