Dolman_Stand Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 England heavy favourites surely now, get through the first 20 minutes tomorrow without losing a wicket and we'll be home and hosed. India fell apart a bit in that last session, even though Bumrah is captain he has zero authority in that team, its still the Kohli show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should put an insurance bet on India then, as they're 4/1. England heavy favourites to get the job done now. Baz has really got the confidence of this team up in double quick time. Very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Indian bowlers completely thrown. When I said 3/1 for England win yesterday was too short, I stand by that. For England to win from that position, India needed to throw wickets away, then England needed to not lose more than a couple of wickets in the first 20 overs and generally India needed to bowl poorly. Didn’t think all of those 3 things would happen and probably had England at a 5-6/1 chance. Similar to winviz I think. India have been very poor since start of play yesterday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I was thinking which two batters would be best to be in at the end to give it to him. Bairstow and Broad I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the inexperience showing from Bumrah. England's to lose now. Going back a few pages on this thread would be a bit embarrassing for some.........

I was there on Sunday and it was a great day. Great atmosphere in the Hollies. Friendly, collegiate, at times lively (Thakur dropping Stokes was a moment) but always civil. The cricket was up and down but of a good quality. Very much fun for all involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded_red Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 The turnaround from England this summer may be the maddest thing I’ve seen in any sport. Genuinely thought it would be years before they could ever look competitive against the top teams again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Obviously, I am pleased that both JR and YJB got their Centuries, but also slightly disappointed that Siraj was just two runs short of his - he really does come across as a nasty snarling man when things don't go his way.
