Sorry but a strike rate of 50 after playing 40 plus balls in unacceptable. This is the second time within a week he is doing this so it looks even bad this time.I don’t blame the batsmen much. Just like against Afghanistan, it’s some pretty good bowling and uneven wicket.
Everyone has struggled and Its just not him. Don’t you think they have bowled well?Sorry but a strike rate of 50 after playing 40 plus balls in unacceptable. This is the second time within a week he is doing this so it looks even bad this time.
They have bowled well and am also not saying this is a 350 pitch or even a 320 pitch but you have to show some ambition and at least rotate the strike. Others also struggled but Dhoni is struggling the most by the look of it. And again this is the second time within a week he is struggling. At least rotate the strike more.Everyone has struggled and Its just not him. Don’t you think they have bowled well?
He'll probably go on and score an extra 40 runs in the last five overs but I still don't know what Pant has done wrong.India should still get 250 and that should be enough against this WI side. But Dhoni is a joke seriously.
Just wanted to reiterate this.Not sure why Braithwaite is bowling here but I'm thankful that he is bowling.
Pretty big 'aside' though isn't it!!!Rain aside England is a great place for these tournaments. Pitches are really good and a lot of teams get quality support. Pretty much every match has been over 80% full
Just about to post the same thing, it's why I'm dead against England not being a host for the World Cup.Rain aside England is a great place for these tournaments. Pitches are really good and a lot of teams get quality support. Pretty much every match has been over 80% full
Braithwaite, Dhoni will get bailed out by the his team's spinners and he is finishing ok enough to be fair.What’s going to be morse costly Dhoni’s batting or Braithwaite’s bowling
Tbf if icc had planned reserve days then that can be coveredPretty big 'aside' though isn't it!!!
Yeah true.Tbf if icc had planned reserve days then that can be covered
If they hadn't fecked up ticketing so much they'd all be 100% full. Most of the games are sell outs, so you can only assume that touts have picked up tickets they can't shift.Rain aside England is a great place for these tournaments.

Umm cuz there's only 2 overs left???Another wicket. Why are they trying to smash everything.
Yeah but its clearly not working with the top order, so these guys should be smarter with three overs left and only a few wickets left. Just work the field and finish the 50 overs.Umm cuz there's only 2 overs left???
Was thinking the same thing.Why the feck is Dhoni giving strike to the #8 when there are still 3 balls to go in the over? What’s the point of wasting all those balls to get an eye in if his plan is to take singles and let the tail Enders do the big hitting?
Yeah its odd. I dont mind Dhoni trying to hit boundaries, but to take a single then see Shami trying to smack one is bizarre.Why the feck is Dhoni giving strike to the #8 when there are still 3 balls to go in the over? What’s the point of wasting all those balls to get an eye in if his plan is to take singles and let the tail Enders do the big hitting?
