Have England bowling attack against England batting and they will score at least 550

Archer should walk into this side any day of the week. Wow. this is so toothless.

England are basically playing this series to find out who to drop for Archer

[vvvslaxman]

What is with cross seam bowling on this pitch.

[vvvslaxman]

This Fakher should be peppered with bouncer after bouncer. First proper bouncer he couldn't play well.

[Franco Vazquez]

I think Willey should be dropped for Archer

Instead of the token left arm swing of Willey ,they could have picked anderson,

He is a big hitter. Smashed Lyon for 34 runs in one over

Tbh, Anderson would have been murdered on this pitch

All aer crap. They should have Woakes, Wood, Archer all can bowl over 140ks. Wood can cross 145k frequently> bit one dimensional. But atleast you got some pace to work with. These 80 mph dollies will be thrashed.

[Franco Vazquez]

Sab se zyada randi rona Willey ne hi laga hua tha. I think he should be dropped

[Forward Defence]

Why isnt Stokes bowling?

Pakistan has never chased 350 plus successfully in their history. India has done thrice. All by the current INdian team. Kohli made 100 in all 3 of them.

Not the current team , cos this is not the same Virat we are seeing in last few years . Pakistan is not great at chasing obviously,they are well known for choking but atm they are showing better intent than our top order 

[vvvslaxman]

Rose bowl has become a better batting surface. Most batsmen friendly after Trent bridge

 

 

 

Following matches happen at Rose bowl

 

[vvvslaxman]

India has two matches at Rose bowl. Hope they score big here.

NOt exactly intent. That hacker knows only one way. With friendly bowling it was all the more easy. Imam had a strike rate of only 79. 

[vvvslaxman]

plunkett is such a brainless bowler. 5.87 career ER in ODI

[vvvslaxman]

I would kick Plunkett out in place of ARcher. Atleasts Willey can swing the ball in the right conditions.

Had we backed the right horses you would have seen the quality. All we needed was to give 2 out of KLR/Pant/Gill/Iyer a continuous run and our top 7 would look ferocious on English pattas even after accounting for Cool. Buck doesn't stop with selection panel, TM should have reconfigured the batting order to get the best out of the unit and we would have matched England's firepower. This is a major * up by us and Kohli deserves a lion's proportion of the blame. 

Eng has better hitters of the ball, it's not that Ind has lots of potential in that regard apart from Pant. The ones you mentioned should be in the team but they are not someone this Eng side is filled with. Even after so many years of IPL, Ind has only Pandya and Pant to talk about. Mind you Pant definitely is not in this league as of today but surely has potential.

@Norman this is not about comparing players man for man, this is about having match winners with the bat, Eng has lots of them.

[Franco Vazquez]

India will need to bat first against SA and then hope SA collapse like they do in WCs

Hitman is the main issue, he derails a chase upfront

[vvvslaxman]

There is no attempt to bowl round the wicket to this guy? wow utter lack of creativity.
