THE RED ROOSTER Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 West Indies crash out and who knows what South Africa may turn up to play Sri Lanka tomorrow. Some positives for England facing India The Indian batsmen batting first seem to be operating with a 300 run ceiling on their innings batting first, anything south of 330 on a good pitch can be chased. The Indians may rotate the side having ensured qualification - anyone coming in will be short on Cricket. The Australian attack is far superior to the Indian one. You can score heavily against India and their left arm leggie was hit out of the bilateral series last year. We have yet to see how India react when Rohit and Kohli go early. The rest are not so accomplished. England are now discounted by all and sundry, including myself, that should free them from the burden of being favourites which they have laboured under. Faced with a pro-India crowd maybe that's the key to unlocking a good performance. England will make changes for this match and hopefully put together an opening stand that does not mean that Root comes in when the new ball is at its hardest and swinging. He needs to come in with a platform set to bat the majority of the rest of the innings allowing the batters around him to up the tempo. losing early wickets puts England on the back foot to begin with. Tom Curran it's being rumoured wil play, and while he has had a lack of cricket, a slow two paced wicket for a bowler who has the confidence to bowl his variations on it might just be the key. Instead of trying to bang it into the wicket pitch it up and bowl a few slower balls. As Vincent Jones esq would have put it "It's s**t or bust" for England. Soon we will find out if England are men of Iron or straw on Sunday. Some Pix from Lords 1 Grey Nicholls have produced a bat suitable for James Vince... 2 "I have my eyes on your Rooster" - misery guts Justin Langer 3 Miked up Mike arrives - Note the wiring. 4 Warner square cuts Adil Rashid 5 Eoin Morgan leg glances 6 The end for Johnny B....

THE RED ROOSTER Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Win or bust for England today. It's also a win the toss and bat day given the WC is going chasing anything north of 250 will be a problem. One disturbing factor from Tuesday was that Eoin Morgan was out captained by Arron Finch not bowling Jofra out for his full quota and using Ben Stokes in the last over..never a good move. Good captaincy on show yesterday, He bowled Steve Smith for one over which consisted of four full tosses and takes him off, a Kiwi Wicket falls and in comes Colin De Grandhomme. Now in cricket circles, its known that De Grandhomme is a bit of a slogger who hits very straight. So the minute he comes in Finch sets a deep long off and a deep long on and brings Smith back on to bowl his "leg breaks" to challenge De Grandhommes ego, Lo and behold he tries to smack Smith out of the ground and finds deep Long Off. Great Captaincy. Another seven wickets for Australian Left arm Bowlers and Trent Boult from New Zealand including a hat trick. - Man you on about left armers again.. I will leave it there. I like the Kiwis so the less sad about yesterday the better. Some Pics from Lords 1 Practicing hard in the nets 2 Michael Clarke Looking Chipper 3 Time runnng out for England.... 4 Finch on the drive in his brief stay 5 Khawaja Cuts Santner 6 Guptill "plays with the makers name" 7 Ross Taylor Gets out the Sweep against Lyon Quote When the pinch comes the common people will turn out to be more intelligent than the clever ones.

Futtocks Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 England pass 200 in 29 overs for the loss of 1 wicket. That's a bit more like it, although the Indian bowlers are applying the pressure now..

Niels Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 This is where India miss Dharwan. It's a double whammy as now Kholi is exposed to the new ball earlier. He is more of a number 4 by the time he bats after the usual opening pair have scored well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
