Funny reading pages 38 on with people saying it would be close. England blew then away in end
ICC T20 World Cup 2022

One of the best performances by an England team in limited overs cricket.
This is a strong India team and they've just been swatted aside.
Makes the Ireland defeat seem even stranger.

Kl is not even a IPL star. He is a big game choker.
Yes. Kohli had decided to drop Rahul but then latter scored 600+ runs in an IPL season and became automatic opener again. The reason why so many Indian fans hate Rahul is that he showed in IPL itself that he can attack from ball 1 and score at 200+ SR in power play. But now he refuses to play with that approach.
Umpires should be able to stop the game a la boxing.
The jinxers were doing their usual thing. No game is over after 5-6 overs. England have played really well in the middle overs here.
Everybody saw this coming - our top 3 are just wrong. Take up over half the innings for not enough runs.
It will be fair to have the finals between Zimbabwe and Ireland.
Rashid's figures look great now.
It's funny you still think people were jinxing. We are past that stage
If the match goes ahead
I actually think those 5-6 overs cost India
I can see why a lot of posters are annoyed at their opening partnership. Doing that in a semi final against this England team is mad.If Pandyas hitting fast bowlers for sixes, you know its easy batting conditions.
If you go by form then you drop Rohit and open with Kohli. One player in 11 can play the anchor role, not 3. That position can be anywhere in top 3. Everyone knows this. We did as well and hence why we changed our batting approach. But then reverted back. I said at the start that this is a horrible pitch for us and we perfectly illustrated why.
That. Was. Brutal
Are you serious, of course they were at the beginning of the innings, obviously past it now.
Shot. Six to win it and not a wicket lost. Somebody should have put a cheeky tenner.
~The final probably has the two best teams and should be a fascinating match.

What a performance. Well played England.
Repeat of 1992 final, hopefully the same result!

India “they played better” rinse and repeat.
Destruction
I see you have decided to double down on this idiocy.
What an emphatic victory. Phenomenal batting display.

I agree however India seem intent non this approach of starting slowly which has cost them here so need to change that.
Seems like a hell of a lot of group games for just a semi final and a final.

Live on in your delusions. Watch same "pundits" change their tune after the match as well
Sorry but some people were, I've seen it before, its funny to see but it has no effect. Just look at the comments yourself.
MCG bounce suits Pak bowlers to a tee. Pak still go in as fav with better bowling attack for me.
As good as our batting was India were really disappointing in the field I thought, no energy, giving up on boundary chases. Just seemed to not be able to get their heads in it. Just no answer at all and didn’t seem to even want to try and find one
Sure. But you can see why the posters here were saying the PP cost India or why 169 might actually be par for the ground historically but today it was never going to be enough.
England just blew india all around the ground without losing a wicket and would still have just about made 200, but yeah 200 was par score right?
going for 13 in the first over set the tone too.
Bar the final 4 overs with the ball - absolutely brilliant by England.
One of the best white ball batting performances i've seen from us.
As for the Indian lads claiming they were proved right - talk about missing the point
You've got to watch the match play out. That's what we were moaning about.

Exactly.
You are putting pressure on the team when you score 38 in powerplay or are 62 runs in 10 overs. And let us be honest it wasn't like we were playing Pakistan's bowling. We were just playing catch up. Not that hard to understand
Hales is a big big lad
That was brutal. Oh well, at least we beat Pakistan.
We simply don't have bowlers to make a difference on this kind of pitch. Bumrah is not there. No wrist spinner.
I agree with you regarding the PP, India's performance was poor in that and it cost them but many a time England have had a good PP then combusted in the middle overs. It was great to see them performing well.
Hales rubbing it in talking about how the ground is fantastic to bat on especially the PP
