Cricket match prediction discussions

[Mcpeanut]

England lead by 250 runs and 4 wicket still left in their first innings. So almost they will make 300+ runs overall and India will be asked to bat in 2nd innings. This means India is almost on verge of losing the match and England will lead 2-0 series.

England finally declared at 396/7. That is a massive lead for England and they will be pushing for an innings victory. India have lost both their owners quickly. What has complicated the problem is that Kohli was off the field during the England innings. So he couldn't come in to bat at his usual position and has to wait for some more time.

Indian batsmen done very poor display of batting and they throw wickets very quickly lost second test very badly by an inning and big margin now time to think about next matches of this series even we cannot expect something very extra ordinary but still they need to work on these conditions otherwise whitewash is very easy for English team

England beat India by an innings and 159 runs... pathetically, awfully played by Indian cricket team. Whole innings + 159 runs? Huh, I really wonder what they're going to do in Asia cup coming next month.

Playing in Asia cup is different as it will be in Asia ground which they are very familiar but now they are showing how bad they are in long format playing. This team of India is only good to play short format like t20

Correct. Indian team usually struggles on non-Asian pitches like the current one, and Asian grounds suit them the most. However, if things continue to go on further like this, they'll lose that winning momentum which they had a few matches back, and they might end up losing badly in Asia cup as well.

Look at the current Indian team none of them is a good test player, everyone wants to hit and go expect captain. But you can depend on one person performance to win all the matches. This second test match they lost very badly and surely it will impact on their confidence level to go to the next match or series.

Next world cup also going to happen in England and Wales next year so if India wants to reach at least to qualifying stages then they should practice playing on fast tracks not only just on spin pitches.

I think India are fine playing in ODI matches on pitches like the ones in England. As they showed in the T20 series that they can play on these pitches but in the shorter form of the game. So I think they should be fine in next years World Cup, they just need to work on getting better playing on these pitches in test matches. They will have to do it all again when they tour Australia later this year so its going to be an interesting 4 -5 months for the Indian team.

Yes india are still very good odi and t20 team across all conditions in the world but when it comes to test cricket yes they struggle against the moving ball specially in England...so they need to work on their technique and i still believe they can comeback in this series.

India should make some good changes in their side first of all...dont know why jadega is being left out fromt the side without any reason..instead of kuldeep bring back sir jadega and pant should be given a go in place of kartik now and dhawan should come in place of murali vijay

Before this began team India was hailed as Invincibles, despite all warnings of how England dismantled Australia, team India really paid no heed to the signs. The so called magic of their captain Virat and their head coach Shastri is now being openly challenged, call it ego or short sighted but this team needs to make wholesale changes. I do expect where is Virat chants to get only louder, and more embarssement store for the team if they do not ring in changes.

With that said I don't think they'll have any issues on Asian pitches when they're back in Asian cup, they'll perform there, as they're more habituated to those pitches.

Team India needs a miracle to win the next match and the series, but so far their winning mentality is eluding them, they desperately need their top order to fire. I would yet deem England as favourites and expect them to win easily.

Sri Lanka vs South Africa, Only T20 match is going on. SA lost 4 wickets just for 69 runs. Only 10 overs i left if they score 100 more runs in next 10 over SL can chase this target. If SL manages to pick 2 more wickets in next 2 or 3 overs then the target will be reduced. I think the home team will win.

A very difficult pitch for batting South Africa manage to reach 98 in 16.4 overs which is very less but Sri Lanka also struggle in chase and lost 7 wickets in 16 overs but won only twenty/20 and end this tour with win

India has lost the one-day series which has just completed. I believe Indian own the T20 series because of the spin bowler and England batsman took some time to understand his bowling style. If same Indian players play next year world cup in England, I dought that they even go to semifinals.

They need to learn how to play on fast tracks until that this issue will not solve and they can't win outside India against good teams. Also, I heard that after the one-day series all Indian players went to Europe trip and didn't practice (not sure about this news).

Ya the pitch was bowling pitch and batting was too difficulty but the match was very thrill of low scoring Even Sri Lanka got hard to achieve the 99 target but at-last won it. This single T20 was totally dominated by bowlers.

Low score game but a tough match for both teams, only Dinesh Chandimal and De Silva saved SL team and good fight back innings from SA. Yes, it was bowling pitch and both teams bowlers bowled well. I think if SA managed to play full 20 overs and if they added 20 or 30 more runs i think they may win this match. anyway congrats to SL.

The main problem for South Africa was being not able to play the spin...in the last 50 over match as well this was thier main problem and yet again...i think despite decock and duminy no one in their team is good enough to play quality spin bowler

I agree this is a problem for almost every team that travels to other countries, they don't seem to adapt to the conditions and most times lose the series. The only team that was a great team at travelling was the Australian team of the 90's and early 2000's This team would win series everywhere it went even won a test series in India, in my opinion that was the best cricket team of all time as it was well balanced with good batsman that could play on most pitches and a good mix of bowlers. Not sure if we will ever see a team like this again.

India has lost the one-day series which has just completed.

Actually, it's been a month since the completion of ODI series between India & England. One test match has already been played as well since then, which Indian cricket team lost badly. Next one will begin in two days.

Please read the full comment what MinerHQ have quoted , He is comparing the ODI series which India lost and next year their is ODI world cup and he is comparing Indian position in 2019 world cup.

Other teams also struggle on unfamiliar conditions, but being regarded as the sole cricketing super-power, the Indians were supposed to fare better. After all, their players receive 10x salaries when compared to the Australian and the British players.

Whenever a team is visiting another country, it's but obvious that the host will have undue advantage of the home conditions, but saying that team India is loosing because they're visitors is cliche. As for the Australian side, they implemented a simple formula perform or perish, instill fear in the opposition, in comparison team India does not really remove the under performers quickly, even their bench strength is not tested.

When team England looks at team India, all they is one man their Captain Virat, which basically says it all. If you have observed how team Indias batsman are playing, their shots are suited for Asian pitches, and hence they're getting out easily, their batting coach has some serious work to do otherwise a whitewash is on the cards.

 If team India wishes to win the remaining matches, avoid white wash and salvage some pride they need to make wholesale changes, only then can they win, even with changed team my favourite is team England.

There is no doubt regarding the bad performance by the Indian players, they have played really bad cricket which was not expected.  I think Indian batsman should play more aggressively and should counter attack the bowlers, if they managed to get few runs then it will boost their confidence. Too much defense is freezing the flow of the runs and increasing the risk of loosing wickets.

I don't know why this time Indian performance is very poor in England test series. Only Kohli is giving his best approach to reach a high score but all other batsmen are failing to make some score on the boards. England bowling is doing their best to take the wickets for winning the second test out od the series.

We can blame Indian Cricket Board for this because they have resources and all things which can help batsmen for adopting all conditions but they never do any work for this just because of this most of time Indians fail to give positive results abroad and fail badly if they force local authorities for seam wickets and give batsmen some good practices then surely they can adopt and have ability to win series in England South Africa and Australia

You are right on . They are over-confident if you ask me , they have all the support they need and still failing in England and other overseas countries . Many countries doesn't even have a good support from their cricket boards but not in India's case . India has good technical players like Pujara , Rahane who are best in 5-days format but they need to put more efforts.

[vella85]

The problem I see with the Indian team is that they play too much on Asian pitches and don't travel enough to countries with fast track pitches. This could be one of the reasons why they always seem to fail when travelling to England, South Africa and Australia. They could even try and have a fast track pitch in their country at one of the grounds instead of pitches that always take spin, I'm sure the ground staff can achieve this and by doing this at least they have one cricket ground where they can practice and play on a fast track. In Australia there are a couple of grounds that take spin as well as fast which is a good mix when he comes to travelling Asian pitches.

The third test going start on the 18th of August. I don't think we can expect some magic from this Indian team if pitch condition is similar to last two games. They should stop playing like a short format game and stick to the basics of cricket to stay around on the pitch for some time.

OMG! Ravi Shastri has taken it way too seriously.

India coach Ravi Shastri tells batsmen to look ‘ugly and dirty’ in Test v England

I think the best coach for Indian team will be either Dravid or Anil Kumble.
