It has been the subject of conversation on here before.

India have very good bowlers I wouldn’t want to chase anything more than 140/150

I’ve just watched the game, had a media blackout.

I reckon we could have chased 225 in hindsight!

Scoreboard pressure make that score a 1 in 10 getable and yep I’d back this team

It’s unbelievable that professional cricketers cannot bowl a proper decent delivery. Even Darren Gough had enough brains to get it right up the the block hole and he’s not blessed

The ramp shot makes Yorkers less effective. If you miss your length even slightly, you’ll go out of the park.

Fantastic game and England simply brushed India away.

That wasn't brushing india away, that was absolute domination, i was ecstatic when hales was brought back in english setup and over the tournament he has proved it was the right call

I wonder if Vaughan will insist the final is moved from the MCG to a much smaller stadium?

When I was a kid our cricket coach would put a handkerchief on the length he wanted you to bowl at and we practiced and practiced .These are the best in England and still bowling licqourice allsorts

The game has changed since you were a lad. 360 batting these days.

Yes but if you look where most sixes are hit ,it’s between square leg an long on or inside out over the covers with the batsman being able to get good leverage and open their shoulders
