/// Edgbaston is traditionally a stronghold of India and Paksitan supporters at international tournaments, so much so that Morgan anticipates an atmosphere more like an away game. ///

Seems like these India and Pakistan fans don't consider themselves English.

India 8 for 1

Excellent start for England, shame about Root's drop. Three maidens in a row for Woakes!

Hang on, you're trying to turn this thread into the game - it's about the ethnicity of the supporters for heavens sakes!

Do keep up!!

[agchristie]

I think AOG is playing at silly point...

[andy-hughes]

Ag, I'm going to put that in my 'I wish I'd posted that ...' file!

[agchristie]

LOL Andy.

Somehow, I don't think it will get a BA though do you? ;-)

[andy-hughes]

No, but it should!!!!

[Zacs-Master]

AOG reveals his true colours through a twisting of logic yet again. Bizarre.

Regarding making my post redundant you could of course use your usual way and get the thread removed or not bother contributing to it.

Indian have played really well in this tournament. We British did a good job when we taught them how to play.

[jim360]

Better to leave it up, no harm in exposure when it's something this silly.

[jim360]

Anyway, as I type Plunkett just got his third wicket with India 70 runs short. So that'll show those Indian fans where their loyalty should have lied, the treacherous scum. Or something.

India shouldnt get 64 runs from 24 balls if we keep it tight.

Lol Tilly like most of the things we taught the "empire" they normally do it better, but not this time me thinks.

I've been watching this and I've seen quite a few Indian looking fans supporting England. There was one in the middle of a load of Indian supporters with a George Cross. Yes tony, these days we must console ourselves with the fact that all proper sports where invented by the UK.

[ToraToraTora]

and before all the AB start it was a TIC comment, I know we didn't invent severed head Polo, ok?

[TonyV]

Well done lads.

[TonyV]

TTT think it was Mongolians that invented it or was it Afghanistan's that started it, or did we not supply the balls?

Yeh me too, TTT. Did anyone really think that India were going to "try" and win that game? Win the game and let Pakistan get through to the last 4. Haha dream on you fluffy bunnies. I put £10 on England to win(which is more than my weekly budget if I don't win) Hope that there is no fighting after the game, like there was yesterday when the "stans" played. India will win the tourney.

[TonyV]

Togo well done you, odds were to short for me, England have only one more game to win though.
