I'm not too convinced by England's chances tomorrow if i'm being honest. The batting can be brilliant one minute and brittle the next and brittle happens too easily which makes us a bit like Pakistan, entirely unpredictable and like them, if we turn up, we can beat anybody. We need one of those days.

That’s what makes tomorrows semi final an interesting match up!
India are honestly the same they can be so average one day then brilliant the next, it’s a difficult one to call!

Bit quiet in here considering England are playing.

Anyways, we're not doing too badly at present. Be happier with a couple more wickets down for India,

But 6.2 over run rate means India are going to have to go after it soon.

Wickets please.

Jordan

Looks like it's going to be a chasable total as long as we don't shit the bed.

 

[midoshairband]

great catch Rashid!

 

[midoshairband]

falling to bits at the end here, seem to have forgotten how to bowl at the death all of a sudden.

 

[Trix]

Anything below 170 is chasable imo I thought 160-165 after about 10 overs.

Great knock by Pandya

 

[Trix]

That was poor from Jordan.

 

[Trix]

Jordans' last over pay have ruined that prediction...

Yeah considering 2 wickets fell in that over that was still poor.

 

[midoshairband]

arguably Jordan bowled one bad ball in that last over, the 6 was just a bloody good shot.

i'd have taken 168 against that India batting lineup. I don't have confidence that we can chase it, need some of the underperformers to step up - Brook, Ali etc.

 

[funkycoldmedina]

I thought Curran bowled the worst considering his usual standards.
Big ask for Jordan coming in cold

Yeah the full toss was a terrible ball from a death bowler.

It's a realistic chase here...but not confident...

Though as Englishman and a Spurs fan - sporting optimism isn't natural anyway...

 

[UncleBuck]

Couldn’t see them getting anywhere 155 after 14 overs, I think them last three overs have really cost us…??‍

 

[Trix]

Looks like we are going after this.

Decent start by Butler

 

[Trix]

Shot!

 

[funkycoldmedina]

Shot!

Great bat to watch when he gets going

 

[midoshairband]

looks like they've taken Pakistans lead and are going hard. definitely the right approach!
