India need to accelerate now
ICC Champions Trophy 2017
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
This is crazy strategy. 5 overs of spin upfront when we have historically struggled against pace early on.
And here is rain
And here is rain
For gods sake. Shouldn't have held it in England if there is rain forecasts.
Honestly what the feck was that starting up with Spinner strategy? Dhawan is pretty average against pacers in the beginning. Pretty good start for India, almost going at 5 an over.
Why's is here 2x in a row anyway?
It's forecasted to rain edgbastom pretty much everyday over next 2 weeks. What is the point of scheduling matches in such a place?
Was fine yesterday
This is a terrible start by India
Nah going at 4-5 rpo for 25 overs is a fair enough start imo.
Terrible match so far, as expected.
Wahab is wayward
Solid start from India. Expect them to up the runs from here.
Wahab should not be in the side. Was too expensive in the Windies tour & seems to be in there on past glories.

Does he have many? Or dare I say, any?
For some weird reason our board thinks wahab is a good bowler.
umm, well he bowls fast & aggressively with control - sometimes!!Honestly it's a no brainer that Junaid should be in the side over him. But the PCB are special.
He is always wayward. I remember Kohli tonked him in the t20 World Cup and gave India th momentum when Sami and Aamir had destroyed the top order
Wrong batsman out for India
Overall Pakistan has been poor so far. No urgency on the field.
Agree with Warne, bring the fielders in to stop the singles.
He isn't really that good. Neither him nor Wahab should be in the squad imo.
Pakistan need to keep Sharma on strike. He's playing like a complete waste man
74 off 101. Ian Bell inspired inning
Rohit does this at times. I don't mind it since he is able to switch gears really well towards the end and can score at SR of above 200 consistently.
Hasan is a good bowler. Impressed in the Windies tour & doing well so far.
Raining quite heavily in my area of Birmingham. Might be a rain stop soon.

Fine around my ends. Are you from Solihull?
Nah mate, I'm near Longbridge side of Brum.
Raining again
Ah more rain
Ffs more rain
Such a shame rain will dictate one of the most anticipated matches. Would be even worse if this goes to D&L.
Only 15 overs left, Rohit's gotta take off now
Strike Rate below 70 now
Turned it on now, needs more
Wahab to the rescue again
Bat in the air?!
Looks out to me
Looks out to me
Those two overs against Watson in the 2015 WC. The balding buffoon hasn't done anything else.
That doesn't looked grounded to me
Horrible innings, ended by terrible running
Unfortunate but should send Jadhav in.
