It was but England didn't know they were playing there until Tuesday. India knew in March
That's plain fecked up.
SKY gone, didn't pick up the slower ball. Saw it pitched full, and went for a reckless heave. He needed to value his wicket far more there, and stay till the end.
feel like we missed a trick here. Dube usually comes out and the fielding captains dont bowl spin. That would have been handy on this pitch - even if he didnt do shit
Weird we brought him here for that and hes been demoted

This is a pattern with us. Select average player in squad since they fit some specific role but then lose the never to back them.
Hardik is some clutch player. Different class.
Jinxed ....
Two fantastic shots even though it was straight at the fielder
Great innings, shame it ended
Wasteman Dube
How many power hitters have we tried to incorporate into our lineups over the years who fail to turn up when it counts because they lack game sense and proper cricketing ability? When will we learn?
Dube should never be in the team again. And to be frank, neither should SKY. Or the likes of Ishan Kishan. You need a very different sort of skill set and mentality to succeed at knockout games representing India.
We needed Jaiswal to open, Kohli in his usual slot, and Pant in the rearguard.

FFS Jordan lost us the match getting Dube out
I've always wondered how Samson can never get a start. You'd think he'd at least get a fair crack one day.
Terrible death overs from Archer and Jordan.
Axar and Jadeja have done very well, and this is a very competitive score
India will be happy with that score.
Yes I think it's in the balance. England have the batting to chase this, while our bowling is really strong too
We are fractionally above par I think
Just need one to roll along the ground to Buttler and we'll be in control
Consensus from the group chats im in seems to be 150 would have been a tough chase so we are up against it here.
If Butler gets in we could have a classic though. Can we stop Kuldeep not taking 3/4?

Luckily only one delivery wasted. Stupid shot. Stupid player.
Axar and Jadeja are usually great on dodgy pitches, will be interesting to see this
He seems to look out of place in this whole environment. Weird selection.
couple of early wickets, or wickets in the middle overs, or at the end, will mean we get nowhere near this.
Or all of the above.
If the pitch gets better to bat on, given England's batting prowess (and despite India's bowling), I'd say the score is about 20 under par.
But if the ball stays low with uneven bounce, then it's about 20 above par, and England may struggle to finish the chase even if they get a good start.

Understandable from us TBH. A bit selfish and unfair to all other countries for us to win both the World Cup and Euro's at the same time.
Need Buttler...

Buttler is awesome
It's over boys, pack it up
