Can someone shoot that commentator, please

Can't understand bowl at the toes it's hard to get it away. Pitch it short all options are open

Sam Curran undoing all the good work earlier from our bowlers.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Oh Ben.

He's gonna get out for a duck off of 10 balls isn't he?

 

[crodonilson]

20 (twenty) off the over and with that goes Englands chances.

Really? You need to set up your own forum with Swanny

FFS bowl it at the feet

This is a huge score on a used wicket in the pressure cooker of a semi final. Well played Kohli and India.

 

[Questions]

My issue with it was that if Reiffel had given that not out because he assumed he'd hit it, there is no way he can say "oh he didn't hit it, in which case I'll give him out". He's basically stayed in because of umpire's call on the line, but I'm not convinced the line was what Reiffel had thought was the issue.

Exactly

Mrs Pandir looked happy with her Hardik

 

[Simster]

This is too close to call. Some very good fielding by England. The bowling was decent too really, with the occasional brainfart ball preventing us from having control of the game.

Tensions are running quite high, maybe leave the WUM stuff at the door?

I think it's probably a par score. If England can get off to a good start it'll allow them to negotiate India's spinners in the middle overs. All to play for. Game on!

 

[Questions]

It’s Englands game if they don’t lose early wickets.
With two overs to spare …..
They’re Ive said it.

'The immensely experienced Chris Jordan'

Yes, he's experienced being smashed around cricket grounds all over the world

Bit of criticism on England's bowlers - but there was some good balls there that Hardik still got away - you sometimes have to put your hand up to some excellent batting.

White noise. On ignore now.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Looking at smarkets at the start the odds were India 1.89, England 2.12.

The favourite changed 8 times and after their innings the odds are 1.78, England 2.18.

Tight.

I agree but as Bumble always says, bowl it straight and full, you miss I hit. Not many of the last few over would have hit the stumps. The risk of swinging the bat and getting out is reduced to being caught only.

I don't think they bowled badly at all. There were a few balls that went to the boundary that were excellent deliveries, like the Hardik shot that was wide on the off-side and he still sliced it through the gulley area. Superb shot, that, and you can't really bowl safely to a quality batsman when he's seeing the ball like that.

Both Curran and Jordan were patchy at the death, but had Pandya not been in that sort of form it would have been comfortably good enough to see us in firm control of the game.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Butler's four was the very best four ever scored in the history of the game, ever, apart from the very next one.
