Lol are you guys seriously comparing Kohli's batting way with butler's??

See the composition of both the teams ,butler has the luxury of stokes,moeen ,woakes,rashid etc to come after him ,sometimes even Morgan, he can bat freely because England bat damn deep .

 

Kohli knows we have a sh1t middle order and literally no hitter except pandya ,he knows if he tries go quick from the onset and gets out in the 30s ,there is no one after him who can score quick and get India to even 330+ .

 

That said ,butler is a freak though ,he can smash a 100 even from 100/4 ,he is a special player who deserves respect

Correct.  A 70 ball ton.

Jadhav any day is a better and bigger hitter then Shankar, to send Shankar ahead is mind boggling 

[Suhaan]

It has stopped now,Indian innings may resume

Sachin seems like a fun guy to hangout with. I mean without any sarcasm. Such a sweet guy. A legend with the attitude of a next door boy 

He always is.

Are there no young people in Manchester to do some simple manual work?  There are 5 middle-aged guys trying to get the covers off and the wind is getting the better of them.  Get 10 teenagers and watch them run with the covers in 10 seconds.  They'll do it just for fun or maybe free pizza.  SMH.

those Big inngs! everyone hitting big and scoring fluently, no trouble from any of Pak bowler... still just just 305 after 46... not even 370, 380, what a shame...

Nice sarcasm 

[jusarrived]

GG seems like dosent like anyone in the team , why is he so bitter ?

[Stan AF]

Guys, Butler is a power player. He's the guy you ideally want to come in at #5 at either first inns to come and smash a quick 50 or in 2nd inns when you need acceleration chasing a high score(like the game against Pak).

 

Virat is a long innings player. Butler can't play long like Kohli and Kohli can't power hit like Butler. Apples and Oranges basically.

[Sgattick10]

Sun is out. 

[Adi BB]

I think asim aimed that at the Indian fans with a tinge of sarcasm 

[speedheat]

40 over target 298

that will be good for india

[Pollack]

For India key batsmen from  Pakistan would be Imam (He is Pakistan's chanderpaul) and Shoaib Malik ( Pakistan's Bradman against India)

Covers coming off ,kya yaar ,another half an hour rain would have been perfect 

[New guy]

The ball will skid nicely to the bat. India need to take early wickets to be ahead of dl calculations 

[PBN]

Is that the match?

according to metoffice forecast, it's going to rain for the rest of the day
