chewy Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Most players would have scored double hundreds blind folded on that flat oval pitch
mishra Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 This Testosterone fuelling pitch may backfire against bigger teams. Specially likes of Aussies, Africans and Indians. I would say even windies would have a good chance on them oval kind of tracks. There will be games, where despite the pitch, weather will take over and may make it look very embarrassing scorecard for England

mishra Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) ^ Mentally, That was Super knock. But you got to admit that if Bongs didnt choked they would have easily scored around 340/2 and England would have chased it as well. There is no competition Kohli and Root in limited overs arena Edited June 2, 2017 by mishra

You dont know sportsmen if you think that either them or Warner or ABD dont want to be top run getter as well as team champions...

The way I see it Kohli has already helped his team win a World Cup and Champions trophy. Let's see if mental midget Root ever manages to help England win anything of note But knowing Root and England I wouldn't hold my breath Case in point we all know who showed up when it counted in the CT final. One guy showed up at the crunch and helped his team win and the other guy as usual failed when it mattered but wouldn't mind hammering that perennial cricketing giant B'desh Here's the scorecard of the CT final and we can all see who the Champion was ICC Champions Trophy - Final England v India India won by 5 runs ODI no. 3377 | 2013 season Played at Edgbaston, Birmingham 23 June 2013 (50-over match) India innings (20 overs maximum) R M B 4s 6s SR RG Sharma b Broad 9 18 14 1 0 64.28 S Dhawan c Tredwell b Bopara 31 40 24 2 1 129.16 V Kohli c Bopara b Anderson 43 66 34 4 1 126.47 KD Karthik c Morgan b Tredwell 6 10 11 0 0 54.54 SK Raina c Cook b Bopara 1 3 6 0 0 16.66 MS Dhoni*† c Tredwell b Bopara 0 3 4 0 0 0.00 RA Jadeja not out 33 35 25 2 2 132.00 R Ashwin run out (Bell) 1 5 1 0 0 100.00 B Kumar not out 1 2 1 0 0 100.00 Extras (w 4) 4 Total (7 wickets; 20 overs) 129 (6.45 runs per over) Did not batI Sharma, UT Yadav Fall of wickets 1-19 (RG Sharma, 3.5 ov), 2-50 (Dhawan, 8.2 ov), 3-64 (Karthik, 11.1 ov), 4-66 (Raina, 12.2 ov), 5-66 (Dhoni, 12.6 ov), 6-113 (Kohli, 18.3 ov), 7-119 (Ashwin, 19.2 ov) Bowling O M R W Econ 0s 4s 6s JM Anderson 4 0 24 1 6.00 15 2 1 SCJ Broad 4 0 26 1 6.50 9 0 2 TT Bresnan 4 0 34 0 8.50 7 1 1 (3w) JC Tredwell 4 0 25 1 6.25 11 4 0 RS Bopara 4 1 20 3 5.00 12 2 0 (1w) England innings (target: 130 runs from 20 overs) R M B 4s 6s SR AN Cook* c Ashwin b Yadav 2 6 9 0 0 22.22 IR Bell st †Dhoni b Jadeja 13 38 16 1 0 81.25 IJL Trott st †Dhoni b Ashwin 20 14 17 2 0 117.64 JE Root c I Sharma b Ashwin 7 8 9 0 0 77.77 EJG Morgan c Ashwin b I Sharma 33 44 30 3 1 110.00 RS Bopara c Ashwin b I Sharma 30 40 25 0 2 120.00 JC Buttler† b Jadeja 0 7 1 0 0 0.00 TT Bresnan run out (RG Sharma/†Dhoni) 2 6 4 0 0 50.00 SCJ Broad not out 7 12 5 1 0 140.00 JC Tredwell not out 5 9 4 0 0 125.00 Extras (lb 1, w 4) 5 Total (8 wickets; 20 overs) 124 (6.20 runs per over) Did not batJM Anderson Fall of wickets 1-3 (Cook, 1.5 ov), 2-28 (Trott, 5.1 ov), 3-40 (Root, 7.4 ov), 4-46 (Bell, 8.4 ov), 5-110 (Morgan, 17.3 ov), 6-110 (Bopara, 17.4 ov), 7-112 (Buttler, 18.2 ov), 8-113 (Bresnan, 18.4 ov) Bowling O M R W Econ 0s 4s 6s B Kumar 3 0 19 0 6.33 6 2 0 UT Yadav 2 0 10 1 5.00 6 0 0 RA Jadeja 4 0 24 2 6.00 11 1 1 R Ashwin 4 1 15 2 3.75 16 1 0 (2w) I Sharma 4 0 36 2 9.00 9 1 2 (2w) SK Raina 3 0 19 0 6.33 6 2 0 Edited June 2, 2017 by Ultimate_Game

If England hasnt got explosive batsmen like Hales, Morgan,Butler, Bairstow, Even best of Root will loose England all the matches. He can not chase down a target. His role is more of Rahul Dravid from India. Play the anchor role. More likely then not is explosive batsmen fail in bowling condition. ABD and Kohli are different league. They hunt down targets even if explosive batsmen fail. sandeep 1
Khota Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 100 on any pitch is not bad. Moreover it is not about Kohli it is about team India.
jf1gp_1 Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Williamson gets a ton now. Lets see how smith does if they do get to bat.

The fact is England do have those batsman and not by luck, a devised plan from 2 years ago. From the coach i may add. The one who gets on with his captains too.

I have my own opinion on BCCI , not sure it would go down to well on here...but it involves a lot a men being marched to prison, a lot of ex players finding a set of balls and a tongue and say what they think and know rather than want to be liked for ever more Rasgulla and CG 2
