India appear to have given up.
It's a shame that we play NZ before Pakistan play Bangladesh....job half done then ... if Pakistan beat Bangladesh(likely too), England will need to beat NZ to make the semi finals
Plunkett and Roy must both play V NZ
bit like in football towards the end of the season then ... win 'our' game n let others worry about theirsIt's a shame that we play NZ before Pakistan play Bangladesh.
Will have to simply assume we need to win
Those last 5/6 overs were very strange. India just didn't go for it, more or less ran it down. Didn't look like they wanted to win it. Better to be all out trying than 5 down and lose by 30!?Bizarre batting from India. Last over, game over and now they start throwing the bat.
im already down to me elbows after todays matchYes, that was very odd. They literally had nothing more to lose - why not swing the bat? Just one six all innings, and appearing to give up with five wickets still in hand...
Still, I'll take the points. Wednesday's game against NZ will be a nail biter!
