As the great Mad Titan once said “I am Inevitable”

And that is India at the moment as they were ruthless, dominant, excellent on their way to destroying England by 68 runs in the 2nd Semi Final today.

England had no answer to the almost perfect India today as they booked themselves a place in another ICC final.

On todays show we discuss the reasons India were too strong for England today

• Was the deck stacked in favor of India or were they just a superior side?

We look back at the last 4 times India have reached an ICC final and rank them from least to worst in terms of choking.

We review Englands World Cup campaign while also predicting The Final which India will be heavy favourites yet again for.
