Definitely England v India CT Final 2017 Weather for Oval, London on 18 June is sunny and no chance of rain, based on today's pitch looks like easy 300 plus, but England's batting could easily post 350+ and chase 300+ easily. India will go with same team, but if India bat first Rohit and Dhawan will need to push the run-rate a little harder and aim to have 100 inside 15 overs, need to hide Ashwin and Yuvi somewhere in the field, and reduce number of dot balls. India's fielding will have to be A-grade because attacking England will provide chances in the field. Root, Morgan and Stokes all in form. And Butler is due a big one soon. This is some batting line-up. abe "chewy"tiye, pehele Bangers solid gnaar marenge hamari!! Edited June 11, 2017 by dandaroy sandeep, Adi_91 and Iconoclast 3 Link to comment
Khota Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Getting ahead. Win the semis first Link to comment
BeautifulGame Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Icc CT organisers must be laughing their way to the bank. The host and the 3 teams with most fanatical fans in the semis. I think Srilanka fan following is worse than Aussies . Link to comment
Vilander Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Bangladesh is a good team, i am happy for them. It will be a good game between India and BD, it has to be said each team has a fair chance. India slightly ahead. GoldenSun 1 Link to comment
SRT100 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 India should "try" and catch the English openers off guard and start with spin. Link to comment

Empty stands and seats + Rain. Why do we even host ICC events in England? With Semis being all Asia derby, All tickets will be sold. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Don't take BD lightly. They have decent enough medium pace bowling in Mortaza, Rehman and Taskin and can surprise our batsman on their good day. Dont go by what they did in warmup with the bat as that pitch had a lot for the bowlers. Regarding England, their bowling apart from Wood is very average. Jake Ball, Plunket, Moeen, Rashid are all average bowlers. Unstable Joe, GoldenSun and Vilander 3 Link to comment
jalebi_bhai Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I like the tone of confidence in the OP, but let's not count our murgis before they hatch. The Toygers will either play with a sense of absolute freedom or with complete trepidation. Will be quite the spectacle either way. Vilander 1 Link to comment

There's 2 games in the tournament not involving any of the teams you list, Australia v New Zealand and South Africa v Sri Lanka. Both of them were basically sell outs. Yes i did, I asked the same question to few England fans on reddit, they replied due to Wales crowd not interested in Cricket NZ vs Bangladesh - This match Link to comment

Interested to see the crowd today. I still have no idea why Leeds,Lords and Trent wasn't used for CT17, Few games wouldn't have been affected by rain. Vilander 1 Link to comment
PBN Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 got to take it one at a time. anything can happen in a single game. hopefully our players aren't already thinking of the finals and should stay focused on the semis against Bangladesh. Shouldn't take Bangladesh this lightly in any case. Secondly, even England isn't guaranteed a spot in the final yet. They might be favorites but again anything can happen. GoldenSun 1 Link to comment

Replacing Cardiff with somewhere like Old Trafford would've made more sense though. wonder if it is even worth it, will welsh kids ever pick up cricket. At times i wonder if its because of England the name, it should be Great Britain and Ireland Teams right, then the local folks will truly feel they are represented and come watch. Link to comment

But it is unlikely. Link to comment

But it is unlikely. I feel the Indian players will be motivated to really flatten the toygers. Bong players have been acting out a bit too much lately. Sure they've gotten better and are no longer the walk-overs they used to be. But their performances and tevar are still quite out of alignment. Looking forward to an effortless stomping.

This is a game where toygers simply can't beat them. Only we can beat ourselves. And that snowballs' chance in a burning volcanic hell is only if our team falls asleep on the ground. Link to comment
