@bayimports These commentators "targets" are a bit influenced by allegiances.
I reckon 240 will be enough.
Edit: Instantly an Indian commentator agrees with me!

@mariner4life He's hit some form, but Davey and his missus have got some of the smoothest brains in world sport. I worry for the children

India crawling along 78/3 after 21.
Atherton suggesting 270 would be "competitive".
India will do quite well to get to that.
Going by Eng batting of late, 78 might be enough
and it wasn't far off..seriously just shows how much of cricket is mental

indeed, i've seen some woeful England teams in my time, but never seen one so stacked with talent (except for the bowling perhaps) just fundamentally switch off and mentally go to the beach (outside of Ashes series in Aus)

Mitch Marsh heading home for personal reasons
so ... upvote?
Not sure yet. He may have proved useful after all.
As long as his brother is nowhere near the side...

Mendis and Latham must really hate their bowlers this week. India 193/2 after 30 overs...
Then all out for 55. Yeesh...

@NTA Holy shit, that's the sort of scoreboard you see in schoolboy cricket.
India make 357.
Both SL openers make golden ducks - as does no. 7.
4 and 8 also make ducks.
3 and 5 each make 1.
They're at times 2/3, 3/4, 14/6 and 29/8.
After India made 357!!!
Fuckers will probably beat us in the final round!

@Chris-B yeah that reminds of a 40 over game I played at club level where we put 427 on them and bowled them out for 45. Outrageous scorecard for the professional game.

You could have played for India, Sameer!

So the decision by SL to bowl first was a good one for the fans, because then at least they got to see one full innings of play.
Had they batted first it would have all been over in 25 overs.
I'm not sure the fans would have cared. Most of them are supporting India. They'll take bowling out the opposition in two overs for 0 and then a first-ball 6 to win.
