Feck... rain. My bowling machine denied big points at the death

These are the days I miss Yuvraj. Prime Yuvi would have destroyed the Pakistani attack.
India dont look like getting even 350.. On a flat track, 350 is good, not great..
It's what 280-300 used to be a decade ago.
India have a good bowling attack and Pakistan are a bit... shit.. So it should be enough.

Should have played Pant IMO, it's not like Shankar is way more experienced than he is. Shankar and Jadhav are similar players, made no sense to have them both in the team
Dhoni's wicket was massive IMO, will probably decrease the final score by 15-20 runs
According to Cricinfo -
So if India don't bat again, Pakistan will have to chase 327 in 46 overs.

Scoreboard pressure, better fielding & the pitch is getting slower & offering spin. Unless Fakhar & Babar play a career innings, this will be a very comfortable win for India.
Think you are really discounting the pressure of an important WC match and that too an India Pak one. The pressure alone adds 20,30 runs to the total and having someone like Bumrah helps too. Also if it was that easy to chase down 350 or 300 even, I wonder why no team has done that so far in this tournament
Could be a big issue later in the tournament against better opposition
That’s unfair.
The worst part is Amir's 2 overs get wasted.
That's due to the notion that if India knew it was just 46 overs they would have started to hit early. Think it suits Pak if it is an even lower over game. For exple they would need 184 in 20 overs which would make them fav IMO
Duckworth Lewis is a shit system
What? Why?
If India had known that it was a 46 over match then they'd have batted more aggressively. There's literally nothing unfair about this. It's common sense.
There is plenty of hitting down the Indian order. But if you're going to plod along the first 25 overs, waste the batting power play when there's 2 players outside the over and put yourself in the situation that your best batman will at most face 70 balls it's not going to matter much.
Kohli is the best ODI batsman in the world, it's a complete waste if he's coming in around the 25 over mark. It's immensely stupid.
Anyways it's immaterial. It'll be a full 50 over game from India's side.
Legally it is fair and I get the India would have batted more aggressively angle - just saying in the context of this game, India looked like they were slowing up big time by the end of that innings. 327 from 46 would assume India would continue playing free-flowing cricket which is not a reflection of what was happening by the end. Of course Duckworth - can't take that into account.
Yeah but calculations are made on the scorecard and not on the context.
Anyways its useless discussion as India are coming back
Because they didn't look like getting much more than 330 from 50 overs.
Gambhir standing next to KP.
It's not just that Gambhir looks shorter, it looks like someone scaled KP down to 60%. Its weird.

That's why it's unfair rather than wrong.Yeah but calculations are made on the scorecard and not on the context.

The way things were going and with Amir having 2 overs left I doubt India would have got more than 330 if it went to 50 overs, India would be happier with the revised DL target.
Let's hope they don't have a 30min innings break too in between.
In retrospect, I can somewhat understand why Rahul took the time he did. He needs some confidence for the next few games if Dhawan's not coming back.
I enjoyed India's running between the wickets almost more than all the shots.
I'd not be surprised if India don't end up with 327 even in 50 overs here. Vijay Shankar shouldn't have taken the review
Sarfaraz yawning away
So if we didn't pick Shankar based on the IPL, what did we pick him on? One score of 46?
Why did he walk? The umpire didn't even give it
Stuart Binny 2.0 indeed.
Kohli played 65 balls. Rahul played 78
Bottling it towards the end. Still feel 330-335 should be more than enough
Virat wtf was that nonsense.
Ultra edge didn't show up anything either
Kohli
wtf
wtf
Wasn't even out. fecking idiot
Kohli
Kohli wtf man
Jadhav should have come in before Shankar. Useless fecker.
Should be enough but their passive play will cost them later on in the tournament.
India are unlucky they didn't get to play NZ. I think they would've been given a massive reality check if they had.
