***Official*** India in England

[cricketboy29]

Dravid - Very defensive captain like his batting

How?

 

[Raghav]

The AAAS has another moment to remember.

 

[stumpski]

Well they're hardly gonna score at 13 odd and over for 12 overs are they?

Well, no, but disappointing even for an England supporter to see them taking this approach. Echoes of Gavaskar in that WC match in 1975.

England's'failure' to get 300 doesn't look so bad now does it?

 

[Raghav]

How?

Opened new thread mate.

3rd test explained it

now, this ODI confirms.. The captain should tell the team to go fighting but not to bat for 50 overs ( in ODI's)

 

[silentstriker]

Well, not that I care much about ODIs, but I'm willing to challenge Raghav. I say India win next game, avatar for two weeks, deal?

No. I am not interested.

Surely, England will win

 

[cricketboy29]

So it should no problem for you to accept, since your 'surely' going to win.

I thought of not playing the avatar challenge any more

 

[garypleavin]

I have to say but I have been really impressed with the performance by England they have made a very good Indian lineup look pathetic and both Bell and Anderson have been fantastic today. I'm delighted with this inevitable win but can we repeat this performance more often to win this Natwest Series?

 

[Turbinator]

When I made my 6-1, 5-2 prediction for an Indian win, the 1-2 losses I honestly thought would be the first and/or last ODI(s), since they were coming off a big Test series win. Therefore, even though this is a pretty big loss for the Indian team, I am really not very worried to be honest. I still stand by my prediction.

However, England did play really well, good job guys (y).

 

[The_Bunny]

*Sigh*

 

[Magrat Garlick]

More likely than England failing to stop India winning a game without a single wicket-taking bowler in proven form.

In a fit of ridiculous optimism, I say 5-1 India.

Still on.

Tbh, I preferred it when England could actually win Tests. Very poor replacement.

Explanations start without an ask

 

[silentstriker]

Panesar with two run outs?

Two 3-0 wins in our last four series. Hard to please aren't you?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Panesar with two run outs?

Yeah, but they've both been gifted to him tbf.

 

[Jono]

Raghav, as long as you show your face when you're wrong after making arrogant predictions its fine.

However if India win this ODI series, like the test series, and prove you wrong again, I'd like to think you'd front yourself here and admit that predicting India to lose every series they play is starting to make you look silly.

For mine, India to sneak this series 4-3. Both teams are fairly ordinary and can play crap cricket and lose on any given day.

 

[silentstriker]

Can't believe I have to see this performance on my last day of posting (for a bit). But 1-0 is the scoreline that matters to be TBH, so it's all good.

But more and more it looks like Karthik's a real player.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Two 3-0 wins in our last four series. Hard to please aren't you?

I'll start to be impressed when they beat someone half-decent again. It's been a year.

England to win the series
