CSK Fan Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 So how much can we chase? In the fourth innings? I recon we can manage to chase around 250 though it will be very tough. Whcih means we have to restrict England around 320. So pretty decent chance of India winning this game then Link to comment
Crookbond Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 In fact as an Indian' date= I rate the current SA team a shade better than Indians, 1-1 in India, 1-1 in SA, 3-2 in ODI in SA and also beat India in WC 2011. In due course India and SA will be closely ranked as no1 and no2. England is pathetic in the Indian subcontinent and have rarely performed well there and they are not worthy no1. Even if they become No1 they may be knocked of very quickly by SA and India to #3 If statistics are the argument, the SA team should be as good as the Indians in TEST cricket. I never knew ODI's were counted as a part of Test cricket rankings. Link to comment
urbestfriend Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 anything more than 225 is tough! Link to comment
Cricket Tragic Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I think anything over 220 would be a test. Link to comment
SachDan Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 What ever the target, we will fall 30-40 runs short of that :( Link to comment
ravsdh Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I think anything over 220 would be a test. 200 tops Link to comment
Raghav_12 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Anything above 250 will be difficult.. Link to comment
Mariyam Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Bet365 odds - India 0.80' date=' England 1.5[/quote'] This means India are favs or England? Sorry, I'm not good with this odd business of odds and betting. Link to comment

So pretty decent chance of India winning this game then youre dreaming my friend. where the hell are we going to get 250 from, on a fourth day pitch, with only dravid and laxman looking comfortable MSD, raina and yuvraj are all walking wickets against their fast bowlers right now. yuvraj only got runs because strauss put on his spinners Link to comment
asterix Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Given for the fact that our pathetic tail starts right after UV gets out..I would really like the final target to be within 200 runs.. Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Don't get me wrong I like him, I just think he needs more test experience against lesser sides before playing sides like India I think Bopara should have played It would have given us another bit part bowler too Discuss I'm sure your England has better "test batsmen" waiting for a place in the team. Morgan hasn't been questioned because of batting performance from top 7. He may be good for LOI and it's not that he is bad player. Just that there might be better batsmen who are not getting chance.

India are the favs. England 6/4 India 4/5 If you put £10 on India and win, you'd get back £18 (your initial stake of £10 + a profit of £8). On England, you'd get back £25 (10 + 15). Link to comment
Karan114 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 200 maximum, and even that will take a lot of application. The pitch is doing so much, and we have a few out of sorts batsmen. Link to comment
nospam Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 What ever the target' date=' we will fall 30-40 runs short of that :([/quote'] +1 Link to comment
Cricket Tragic Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I've watched him play a fair for MCCC in FC cricket and he has never really been very good. He will have his moments (like in the test vs Pakistan) but he has too many technical issues to be a top class test player atm. Bopara isn't the answer. Stokes will get a shot in the ODI team soon and if he does well, he could get into the test team since he provides a very useful seam bowling option. Hildreth is another option. He was nothing more than a solid FC player but has been very good recently. James Taylor is the one every has been talking about. He has an awkward batting technique and a few technical areas to work on but has age on his side.

jairamesh Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Right now Morgan is England's Dhoni Link to comment
Sidhoni Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 225 maximum that means we have to dismiss them for 295-300 maximum. Link to comment
jairamesh Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 220-230, even that depends on if Dravid and Mukund see of the new ball, especially Mukund. Link to comment
