Buttler is always vulnerable to inswingers. Little bit of inswing, and he gets bowled or lbw often.  Pace does not trouble him much. Its only the swing. 

yes hazelwood and siraj also have gotten him with ball coming back in

But if Bhuvi does not generate swing in his initial spell, we are toast.  

i have a feeling he wont attack much in initial overs, he will look to bat through like he did in IPL finals .

that's where he has to be dismissed.Else will smash everyone once set.

 

Maybe give Shami also a go in PP.He can work even if theres no swing (I know can leak too but have to take chance)

That attack was jordon-plunkett-willey 

 

ability was never the issue, that KL use to bat fearlessly. He is among the very few who has dominated jofra archer (Even rohit hasnt) 

IF KL bats to his potential he ll dominate most bowlers in World cricket

Curran is a bit of a worry on this track as his cutters will grip into the pitch. 

But overall I think this is one game where each batter shall look to score big runs.

Dnt wry if the cutters work and wicket is slow..our bowlers are tailor made for those and our batsmen has more quality than the England hacks..if it's flat ..no way we are winning it.

Whats your team @express bowling  ???
 

Chahal will definitely play, you can take this to the bank.

 

6months ago, in English conditions took,  2/10 2 overs, 2/32 4 overs.

 

 

Sorry, I missed this post earlier.

 

I think this Indian TM's first preference is a stronger batting unit than a bowling unit. So, they will persist with Axar.

Now the real tournament begins against modern attacking sides like Eng/NZ..

I wont count the good eco rate of our bowlers so far as were not in their group..see how Litton smashed them..

Lets hope they have got some good confidence while playing the easier group..

Need to get wkts..else good eco rate will be misleading..the depthnof these modern approach teams is scary for our bowling and later can easily tonk them for 200+

If the new ball doesn't swing ,England will tear up apart ! The wheels will come off sooner than later in that case

It's boring

If England won the toss and scores 180+ then it will be difficult to chase. 

[SRT100]

This will be slow turning wicket. Expect subcontinental conditions.

 

Its been hot and dry in Adelaide all week.

They are going to play on a used pitch. Hopefully India bats accordingly

If they are wishing to win world cup..they need to back themselves to chase that much even in final..with our avg bowling against top sides..they cant be greedy and prepare for that chase..if the openers and lower middle order continue to remain losers..kick them out after WC and invest in grooming yiung plsyers..

Need to negotiate Moeen Ali very carefully then. Turns into Murli against us. Relatively less worried about Adil.

England themselves served a used pitch in 2017 CT Semis to Pakistan. Got owned by Hassan Ali.

Eng vs Pak in 2017 CT SF was on a used pitch. 

 

Anyway too many games in Adelaide the last few days.
