Cricket: England vs Pakistan 08:36 - Jun 14 with 12690 viewsReuser_is_God

What are we thinking today then?

It's a tricky one as Pakistan have this knack of being utterly brilliant & can beat anyone, then other teams they resemble a village team.

They have a good bowling attack but our bowlers have been exceptional this tournament so I fancy us to bowl then out for around 250.

Bairstow in for Roy too.

Roy simply had to go. 68 runs in his last 9 ODI innings? He was also batting as if he'd lost confidence & shot selection had gone haywire.
Bairstow has been in great form & this change has to be a positive.

We should smash it.

However i'm expecting it to come down to the last over. A bowler to smash a 6 for the win.

England should win but will make hard work of it.

We'll then lose to India in the final. Again.

Against Pakistan? Either we'll thrash them or they'll thrash us. Expect the former but wouldn't be surprised by the latter.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Depends on the pitch.

If it is a road we will annihilate them.

If it is 2-paced and a bit slow then it could be a bit more squeaky.

Prediction: England by 96 runs or 4 wickets.

People worry about splitting a settled pair of openers, but with a player (especially one whose only contribution is with the bat) that far out of nick, replacing him can only be a positive. Especially with someone as good and as ferociously in form as Bairstow.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

Amir has some back problems this morning and could miss out.

Or that could be deliberate misinformation....

No, it's genuine. Great news for us!

A very interesting one as both sides are capable of beating anyone on their day but also are capable of being beaten by anyone.

You'd expect us to win but you wouldn't put your life on it.

The Bairstow 'love in' has been a little cringeworthy at times and wouldn't be surprised to see him depart for a low score, his experience opening the batting is limited to county cricket and his figures are bolstered by one impressive knock against a poor attack.

He is an incredible Middle order batsmen in incredibly good nick.
Roy is an incredible Opening batsmen in incredibly bad nick

It looks like a fairly obvious decision but I expect Roy will be back soon and absolutely spank teams around for years to come. My only question is where is Sam Billings? Would have been a decent option to open as well.

Pakistan have nowhere near the fire power England have. If England really fire and get 350 plus, I suspect Pakistan will crumble.

Surprised they didn't fancy a bat first, seems an odd decision when you consider that England could well go an get an impressive score on a wicket that has (generally) been more of a batting pitch in the 1st innings, with a few wobbles and variations later in the 2nd.

Yorkshire fans must be struggling not to combust right now, Bairstow and Root at the crease together probably has them fit to burst

They did. Also sounds like it may not be a pitch where you'd expect a 300+ total.

Yeah, I was going to say that this is going to be more of an old school ODI innings where you keep wickets in hand & go big late on.

We need to get through this spell from Hasan Ali too, bowling superbly.

It will be another raving bunson of a pitch this time at the Oval.

Reason for all the empty seats is that Indian fans brought all the tickets for both semi-finals not knowing which ones they will need.

If you're going to get a low-ish score, it's Pakistan you want to do it against.

Root gone. Sounds a bit attritional.
