Super 8: 20th Match England v India

[Skater]

Dimi fecking Mascarenhas!?

 

[King Pietersen]

Dimi will hit a run a ball 4. He's nowhere near as good a batsman as the press seem to make out. He's performed twice with the bat.

 

[King Cricket]

Yup. Jadeja strikes. RV! gone. Great job. We are recovering, and recovering fast. :cool:

 

[barmyarmy]

were able to unleash because of wickets in hand.

Trouble is India can unleash and England can't.
Dimi in - strange choice as he's our only "finisher"...

 

[sohum]

Bopara gone. Was only a matter of time, he kept playing against the drift and spin and tried to force it on the off-side. Need Shah to score some now, he needs to do something of use for once.

Interesting promotion for Mascarenhas, though. England probably looking at around 170-180, then.

Wish Lalit Modi was the ICC President.

Yeah that would be great. :

Shane Warne's a big fan too. I think he's past his best now though (Dimi not Warne).

 

[King Cricket]

Hopefully, Dimi will make our recovery easier. Really overrated with the bat, must say.

If Windies can fire with just Bravo down the order, I'm sure England have some hope. Especially given England have been beating the Windies all over the summer.

Ishant bowls his best ball--the one where he actually doesn't release the delivery. If Ishant can remove KP then I will shut up about the choice of line-up.

That's not the case. Both teams can unleash, and the match is quite evenly poised now.

 

[King Pietersen]

KP'll be out in a minute. He's got off to a start, so he's due to throw it away soon.

 

[sohum]

Ishant with his standard "short and outside off-stump" fare. I guess that's slightly better than Zaheer's line earlier today: "down the leg side"

 

[SciD]

England face bowlers like Ishant everyday.

 

[barmyarmy]

That's not the case. Both teams can unleash, and the match is quite evenly poised now.

Maybe you're getting confused with the England women's team. The men's team choke in the final 4 overs.

Haha. Come on King Pietersen have some faith.
