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.

Butler has 9 ODI Hundreds in 111 innings. He gets quick tons,  not quick 50s.

What the * did I just see ? 

 

Star sports is just pathetic. 

[Austin 3:!6]

Still baffled by the selection of Vijay Shankar. He is the difference today between 350 score against what we will eventually score (320ish)

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

This was when India had a lollipop bowling attack with the likes of Sreesanth, Munaf Patel in the lineup.

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

Wrong. Rain meaning no spin....advantage Pakistan

Is that the match?

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

Didn’t they just say the sun is out 

[SK_IH]

So far according to Gauti , batsman these days should not get credit for anything as there are 2 white balls, there are 5 fielders inside circle, big bats etc lol

Actually kohli has scored 50 odd ball ton ,70 odd ball ton many times ,but can butler play a knock of 120 odd from start to the end on that nagpur pitch we played against Australia earlier this year where Australia failed to chase 252

I think this is going to be one of those days in England with on/off rain. So frustrating.

wow Gambhir is spewing BS  trying to protect his era.

I don’t know why people here are worried. Looking at this pitch, spin duo plus bumrah will be enough to bowl Pakistani all out for 200

not sure about 200 but pais have no chance.

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

yes, very odd decision

[Mariyam]

Pakistan isn't chasing this.

 

If we play a full 50 or even 45 overs, don't think that Pakistan can win this at all.

 

Pakistan ke khilaaf WC wala record barqarar rahega.

[New guy]

I dont know why they can't start the second innings now. So stupid to start first innings them take lunch break when time is so less 

[Pollack]

Sachin should try commentating more. Is he any good?

[Adi BB]

Yeah sachin was decent in hindi commentary as well
