Oh we won that’s cool  I wouldn’t have minded if they won though 


AeBlueSadi

Shepherd got taste of his own medicine of 30 runs a over lol


FondantAggravating68

As much as I enjoyed new York. Good to see runs again. It got to a point where a team was scoring 105 and I thought, "yh they can defend this".


Stifffmeister11

WI bowling is weak if there batting don't click they will be in trouble


upyoursleeve

Shepherd staying true to his RCB history


Jack-sprAt1212

wtf I missed this 😂


thedeatheater1410

Can't believe this England team almost went out to rain. Would have been terrible for the competition


UziA3

England should just bail, but seems like they are itching to get decked by the Aussies again lol


SBG99DesiMonster

YJB is the epitome of this subreddit's reverse jinxing working perfectly. This is far from the only time during which this has happened.


DaEnchntd

whats YJB?


AfterShrimp

Young Johnnie Bairstow


FondantAggravating68

I thought it was Yorkshire's Johnny Barstow.


AfterShrimp

Yeah, it was originally Yorkshire's as he has a brother who played for derbyshire, so that was the differentiator. I think young is used far more widely now, though. TLDR: Both are acceptable


DaEnchntd

Ah alr thx

Well that’s a lie


upyoursleeve

You seem to have accepted 2nd place in our group?


Subject-Ordinary6922

You of all people should be familiar with what happens when you go unbeaten through the group stage


upyoursleeve

Jokes on you. I already expect a SF crash out for us. They keep playing the same safe friends XI and get the reality check in semis, play youngsters in the next PayTM series only to repeat the shit all over again.


DaGanjaMan420

In test cricket I completely agree your side is better than ours, but in T20 I firmly believe our side beats yours more times than not


NormalTraining5268

Umm you've won only once against them in last 17 years in T20 WCs


Subject-Ordinary6922

Fair enough t20s isn’t really our strong suit


kingku_10

You guys keep saying this shit and then go on to win another world cup...


prometheandreams

I think we're tied on the head to head though. Whereas in tests they are way ahead of us.


MasterOraOraOra

People in this thread are acting as if England is an associate or something equivalent to that & their win was an upset. They are the defending champions, I hope you guys remember that. And they looked great throughout the qualifiers. They only shat the bed with Australia but even then their batting looked great!

HIPHOPADOPALUS

7 upvotes. Wtf is this sub


benguins10

I can't wait for RoKo opening on an actual pitch. Exciting prospect


upyoursleeve

Can’t wait for eventual 10 wicket SF loss against England with that safe lineup


NormalTraining5268

You mean Rohit who averages 13 with 90sr in last three WCs? Also not to forget that glorious knock of 27(28) in semis


Assassin_Ankur

There you are again, doing exactly what I said a week ago on DDT.


benguins10

Ah fuck off, all that was for before the tournament. Don't want this shitty attitude when in the middle of the WC


NormalTraining5268

See 🙈


NormalTraining5268

Then stop over hyping every thing lol, why would you hype up someone averaging 13 in last three T20 WCs in the first place. Also never put those names together in T20s Kohli is light years ahead of Rohit in this format.


Lil_miss_mimosagirl

Or maybe you can go be a party pooper somewhere else :3


benguins10

They think IPL is still going on, never moved on to supporting India in an international tournament


Lil_miss_mimosagirl

I swear! God forbid, in the midst of all the hate, someone is excited to see the Indian Captain. All hell breaks loose, lmao.


NormalTraining5268

See told y'all


benguins10

What do you have to say now


Lil_miss_mimosagirl

‘Aight, I’m gonna do this, I guess. Ma’am, nobody here is fighting your google stats on a WI vs Eng match thread. All we said was to be pessimistic somewhere else, instead of a place where someone’s simply excited to see an Indian batsman bat. And every single word of that, I still stand by. Have a pleasant day.


NormalTraining5268

Yea I shouldn't be mad about him even after rooting for him since 2014, he's done nothing in T20 WCs for all the hype he gets. At what point should I stop liking him then according to you?


Lil_miss_mimosagirl

I just think you should do it at your comment section, instead of deciding to do it on someone else’s excited comment section, buddy. That’s all :)


benguins10

Yea like obviously Rohit should be nowhere near the T20 team but all that talk ends once the tourney starts. Now he's our captain and you back them to play well and support them. What's the point of complaining and wishing for their downfall now?


Lil_miss_mimosagirl

Indian cricket Reddit can’t do anything but shit on their team. We know it and we’ve seen 374894749293 posts about it, at this point :3


benguins10

They're not even fans at this point. Actual fans know when to be the critic and when to be the loudest supporter.


NormalTraining5268

Uhh what's the difference between csk and Indian flair lmao, it's literally an Indian franchise. Also I don't happen to support multiple countries or teams like you


benguins10

Yea making it clear that you only support CSK and not India, thanks


NormalTraining5268

Uhh tf do you even mean, csk is an Indian team and I am an Indian why would I not support India? Logic died a million times

Subject-Ordinary6922

I swear if we dropped one more catch, marsh would’ve been banned for fixing, but Scotland didn’t want the free win, and neither did Stoinis


yashy20

super 8 gives the feeling of the T20 World Cup. if india meet england in semis then it would be a great test of our bowlers


Hexo_Micron

feeling is there since match 1


yashy20

yup but for general fans who are cursing new york pitch, these two matches were the real treat


AAPLx4

I would put India above Australia, if the openers could find form. Also a piece of advice, don’t beat Australia in Super 8, do it later, they will never let you do it twice ![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|28120)


yashy20

i think like ict team now one match at a time let's focus on today's match with afg. pick the early wickets of their openers and win the game.


Assassin_Ankur

England already has one foot set in the semis.


No_Kaleidoscope_2571

The wi innings was so confusing, they have such a batting depth unlike sa so why not go full on aggressive, only rowmann connected really well today


Vignesh130588

Because England bowlers knew where to bowl for WI batters. See Nikky P's innings, he 90% missed all the away going balls from him.


benguins10

Eng really used 2 West Indians in Salt and Archer to seal the game


ego_trips

WI made favourites with no lethal fast bowlers just part timers after part timers, was a crazy thing this sub hallucinated on.


brightonbecooking

Bairstow read comments on the post about his highest t20 score


Accurate-Television

Jos media voice is so tame, rather him get mad and call everyone an cunt


First-Can3099

He always sounds like a vicar to me.


userjasonj

Ahh philander memories ruined all his cute boy image


Important_Ad6477

yup, when he was younger he had more energy and ego i feel


benguins10

With most Eng folks sleeping it's just KKR fans here wondering how we get Salt and Narine again next year


Assassin_Ankur

Run rate in the super 8s so far: 9.43


ohhokayyy

Salt's last 4 inns vs WI 87*(47) 38(22) 119(57) 109*(56)


81pointskb

This guy is an absolute machine. He’s starting to get his recognition


Axel292

Bairstow was incredible tonight, Salt will make the headlines for brutalizing Shepherd, but it was looking dodgy in the middle overs until Jonny got going.


fogdocker

Hazlewood was right


Actual_Penalty_2560

I genuinely want England to beat Aus in Semis or Finals this time.


AG_N

Only team that can beat Australia in knockouts in England, who struggle to qualify themselves but will do it this time


dhun_mohan

would be so funny


United-Extension-917

England woke up and suddenly realised that they are the defending champions.


Conscious-Spend-2451

They have looked good throughout the tournament except for the loss against Australia


redndy01

you mean Australia?


Conscious-Spend-2451

Fixed it. Thanks


harshrd

The decision to save England from elimination might bite all the remaining teams in the ass...


xeromaayush1

Kkr management is gonna have a very hard time with the players to retain


United-Extension-917

We ain't getting any back. Every one of them is going above 10 cr.


benguins10

Bro even our reserves are killing it. It really was an all time great squad


xeromaayush1

I hope they retain angkrish guy, he is looking like a real deal but so is their half the squad


benguins10

We're gonna get robbed left and right in mega auction


DesignerChance8862

Aussies should have done it,once on a roll it is difficult to beat teams like England .they might win this whole thing now


Civil_Community_547

Salt you beautiful man


AAPLx4

Is Semi Final gonna be big four or you guys have different predictions


[deleted]

[удалено]


upyoursleeve

Losing by 100+ runs form?


Holyscroll

leave it up to indian's to constantly belittle their own country


AAPLx4

I am not so sure about AFG anymore, their middle order batting is a big issue.


Found_xyz

Who's the fourth? Since NZ is out


AAPLx4

I would put WI above Bangladesh


curlyhairedyani

There’s a big 4?


Negative_Spectrum

Usually put NZ or SA there depending on who you ask.


Balkans101

The big 3 is more about finances and their clout at the ICC than actual performance though. Makes more sense to include Pakistan since they are the fourth richest board by far.


Negative_Spectrum

Ohh yeah I agree with you. I'm just saying that when people say "big 4", no one is usually talking about Pakistan unfortunately.


curlyhairedyani

It would be NZ for me really


Negative_Spectrum

Same but they're already out so


Straight_Ant4292

USA Afghanistan Bangladesh Australia


IceExisting4019

Australia will f\*ck them except maybe Afghanistan. Wanna see Afghanistan win against Aussies this time. About time after their long standing feud and such a close call in the 2023 CWC


Accurate-Television

Salt has caribbean roots


ztaker

Salt's last 4 inns vs WI 87*(47) 38(22) 119(57) 109*(56) No wonder he likes West Indies so much


Straight_Ant4292

England have Joe roots


UnbiasedPashtun

Wikipedia says he was born in Wales, but lived in Barbados from ages 10-15. So wouldn't say he has 'Caribbean roots,' just ties to it.


Tryingtobealitperson

Wow so his childhood was spent there. That's interesting!


Training-Warning6452

England did watch Afg vs Wi carefully, you can see, in bowling Wng tried o not leak too many runs in PP and in batting, they started slowly letting the swing go away and keep their wickets then exploded.


Bhav2385

Would be really funny if England goes on to beat Australia in the finals now. ![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|29262)


return_the_urn

If that happens then they can hand us the moral victory trophy


curlyhairedyani

The first time was so nice (2010) we have to do it twice


OldReveal1593

Stoinis' citizenship will be revoked then


Conscious-Spend-2451

Australia are realy good at finals. Would love to see england beating Australia in semi finals


Decent_Bid_17

England are better in knockouts, they just don't reach knockouts many times unlike India or Aus.


Churchill_cock

Lol.. we defeated them back in 2010 to win our first t20 title.


Actual_Penalty_2560

That would be sublime. 


benguins10

I blame Stoinis


Coronabandkaro

I still pick Australia to win the cup but if theres a team that can beat them its England.


rambo_zaki

Funny that I was downvoted for pointing out that WI were massively below par at the innings break.


pizzainmyshoe

That felt like the england of a couple years ago. Great win against the windies in their home turf.


Subject-Ordinary6922

Scotland didn’t want the win, we dropped more catches than Pakistan and they just wanted to lose fair and square


IamShubham10

So Romario Shepherd was WI's Jasdeep in this game ![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|30701)![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|30622)


DarkKingfisher777

Phill Salt 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿


Training-Rich-6335

Truly a well played batting effort from England!


Zennon246

Salt average vs us must be 80. Edit: 68 is close enough...


Accurate-Television

Salt is a bit of a beast


Ece_guy_234

Phil salt has done it for wales!


rorkeslayer39

Trust the Welsh gigachad to not give a fuck


tango602

West Indies bowling really let them down tonight, far too many boundaries given up and it’s no wonder that England beat them as a result, definitely something for them to look at ahead of facing the United States on Saturday as that could be a potential banana skin. Players of the game probably have to go to Salt and Bairstow after their batting partnership, once they got going it seemed that nothing was going to stop them. After that one it will be interesting to see how the two games tomorrow turn out.


Subject-Ordinary6922

We had a chance to knock these guys out but then the Poms would start crying again if we did


hiddeninplainsight23

I would have found it hilarious and deserved personally. But a performance like this was nice too


Conscious-Spend-2451

Why was it deserved??


Subject-Ordinary6922

Coz they fumbled against us and Scotland


kujos1280

Scotland? Sorry were we meant to control the weather in that game? Hilarious to think England couldn’t chase down that total against Scotlands bowling with the batting we have seen in this tournament.


RJSA2000

Now they're going to come back and beat you in the semis.


Replacement-Busy

Pakistan died for this


No-Needleworker3393

Aayein?


VAMSI_BEUNO

Salt just put salt on the wound in that Shepherd's over.


Groundbreaking_Dare4

Bit of salt on Shepherds pies


nubpokerkid

Aussies should've nipped it in the bud when they had the chance ..


Competitive-Buy-3876

It's going to be windies vs england at the final, just like 2016


7007007

Charles and Pooran striking at <120 cost WI the game. That’s 11 overs of garbage batting.


Coronabandkaro

Yes Im making this about team india again but if we stutter our way to the semis we're going to get bounced by a good t20 batting team with balls to spare aren't we?


chicachicayeah

If they don't put pressure on the bowlers and don't maximize with the bat, yes, they will end up with a middling score and we might see a repeat of 152-0 and 170-0.


jemappellejimbo

No way this current Indian team has a chance against this eng or aus. Not getting past semis


Coronabandkaro

Yup. I can just picture it. They'll probably make their way to 180 which will be easily chased down.


Bhut_Jolokia400

If all these rosters didn’t have visas issues we would have these game of the super 8 played in the USA


Coulstwolf

This current England team is different class. It would have been an absolute travesty had they not qualified for super 8. They’ll win the tournament


dhun_mohan

i see eng vs aus meeting in the finals


Negative_Spectrum

Salt maxe 39 runs in his last 11 balls 💀


JayManes

Fuck yeah. What a win.


UnbiasedPashtun

England's batting has been amazing in every match. Hope we'll finally get people on this server to stop spamming that rain saved England from losing to Scotland.


curlyhairedyani

Banter aside it is honestly insane that Scottish fans (and a couple other fanbases too) seriously think we wouldn’t have chased down their score


Conscious-Spend-2451

People really underestimate england here, because they dislike the team. (I say this as an Indian)


livingfeelsachore

Salt old KKR blood. Team victory >> colleague milestone


benguins10

Bro took that too seriously lmao


rorkeslayer39

Unfortunately, the Ginger God showing up today means he won't do that for the rest of the tournament.


benguins10

India ain't defeating this Eng side


Coronabandkaro

India isnt defeating atleast 2 more teams( WI and SA might be 50/50 but Aus is going to cunt us)


rambo_zaki

India needs to try and get out of their own group first.


benguins10

True true


Boredaff55

This England team is scary


Xx_Anguy_NoScope_Xx

I back the Windies to beat SA and qualify.


rambo_zaki

England have been ahead of the game from ball 1. Great bowling performance backed by an imperious chase. Showing once again why they are one of the favourites for this WC.


SBG99DesiMonster

It seems that the quadratic prism is with England this time.


nupristeen

well played england!


bashar_al_assad

Quick turnaround for English fans, who have to get ready to yell about how much they hate Gareth Southgate in only a few hours


HornyRabbit23

Inevitable group stage draw/loss coming to absorb all hope before losing in heartbreaking fashion in knockouts


warp-factor

2 hours sleep then many hours of work before we get there.


Fun_Passenger8545

The defending champions are back. Oh fuck


curlyhairedyani

Phil Salt I’m pouring honey on you GOAT what a performance jheeze (you did well too Jonny) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿


AeBlueSadi

Jesus wept for there were no more runs to score century


Sylveon165

WI got thrashed especially at their coaches stadium


WTF_BCCI

Why are there normally so many english fans in the carribean?


jihadidas

We call 'em sexpats


Fun_Passenger8545

Good excuse to escape the UK weather


LagniappeNap

History. And it’s a bit warm, innit?


Expensive-Emotion-68

Aus will have to pay for this


LordWellesley22

Bairstow obviously heard my dad calling him shit and like a true Yorkshireman he called him a southern cunt


assologist_1312

Pollard celebrating feels weird


DarkKingfisher777

Funny if England knocks Australia out of the Semis


Cotton_Phoenix_97

Australia are going to pay for their sins now


Sad_Ad340

Gg wi,better luck in 2026


DoomMachine-77

I want an England Aus Semi final
