Devil-Dick Willie Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Amir unfortunate not to nab a wicket, but India have batted beautifully otherwise, til the English rain fucking ruins it for us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeem Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Amir should have kept his earlier lenght instead of bowling bouncers and trying this and that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 The team that bat first gets fucked over and the chasing team is advantaged if it rains in the first 50 overs. However, if it is dry for the first 50 overs, then rains in the middle of the 2nd innings, then the team batting 2nd is fucked over as they have already used half their innings batting like a 50 over game rather than a 20 over game.

Azeem Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I think it will rain a few more times in the second innings also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Moments like that are where subcontinental teams are divided from teams like Aus, SA and England. Hassan is slow to react and doesn't put in a dive. An average Aussie or Saffa fielder would have turned that top edge into a chance, and most times taken it.

In the past 5-6 years we have been amongst the best fielding sides. Your point is right in a way. Pakistan's ground fielding had been poor. @topic Utterly poor captaincy from Pakistani captain. Overcast conditions, and he bowls a spinner against a batsman returning to international cricket after 8 month injury lay off (rohit) and Dhawan who has been in iffy form. And again later, allows Kohli to settle down before bringing back Amir to bowl. I am not complaining, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil-Dick Willie Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Agree on the poor captaincy. As for fielding, while you lot aren't shit anymore and are miles ahead of the rest of the subcontinent, you are still not there yet. Though you have some real athletes in the side.

IgnisExcubitor Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 And we have lost an over to rain. 49 overs match now. I hope they send Hardik up the order if lose a wicket. He can inflict real damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil-Dick Willie Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Poor game awareness from Sharma. Great innings though. Should have been a bit less casual with his run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnisExcubitor Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Lovely end to the innings. Good inninigs from Yuvi. Pakistan aiding us with atrocious catching. Hardik showed why he was chosen over Ashwin, and sent ahead of Dhoni. He is a terrific fielder and handy bowler, too. Just praying this fucking rain stays away.

Azeem Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) score 250 don't get bowled out that would do for me,a respectable defeat somewhat.

Administrator Stan Posted June 5, 2017 Administrator Share Posted June 5, 2017 This was a great match to watch (obviously as an India fan) but can also imagine it was entertaining enough for a neutral? Shame the weather hampered the first innings and definitely wasn't expecting blazing sunshine after all the torrential rain for Pakistan's innings Everyone expected Dhoni to come in instead of Pandya but the dcision was definitely vindicated given he smacked 19 off 4 balls including 3 consecutive sixes. Atmosphere intensified when that happened when I already thought it was as good as it could be. Good to see Kohli in good form with a strong knock. Disappointed that Sharma couldn't get his 100. They went for a run that wasn't really there and he could have eased to his century. Really like this India team and the match against South Africa next Sunday (also going), could be one of the best of the tournament if the weather holds out.

Whatever you did on Sunday, repeat the same routine for the match against Saffers. @topic No one is supporting poor Tamim, who is batting quite nicely.

Can't wait for that game cos there's bound to be some great cricket in all aspects on show. I'm also going to India vs Sri Lanka on Thursday which should be good too. Tamim is doing great in this tournament so far. Under the radar as Shakib Al Hasan and Mortaza were/are the best Bangladeshi players. Doing well.
