*Official* T20 and ODI matches

[Daemon]

This man has basically destroyed everyone's predictions about him on this tour

 

[grecian]

Haha, well done Rahul. Never fear, Ravi is here.

First of all if they are thinking like that, half the battle is lost in anycase.Should give Rahane a go.

But even if they are, then Sachin would be a better insurance than Dravid in LOI.

Sachin has been way way better than Dravid in IPL too. Dravid tbh has not been even making the IPL teams on performance alone and slows it down too much in t20's.

hindsight is just such a great power..

 

[Howe_zat]

Christ. Pasting.

 

[honestbharani]

Had got him out of the ODI setup after so much trouble and he is back now FFS!!

Hasn't played a match in a while too.

Think he has improved, tbh...

Still would have picked Sachin over him in t20's hindsight or not. And there were murmurs about leaving out Rahane too.

And you jinxed him.

 

[nsniks]

Dravid has done his job, need a good finish here

 

[shankar]

Shame. Was just starting to hit them out of the middle. But what a career it's been!

 

[MW1304]

Perfect time for Rahul to get out, I'd worry from here. Kohli, Rohit, Raina and Dhoni to come.

Dravid's retires with a career strike rate of 147.61 then.

wag!!

Good catch from Mogs, that had some pace on it.

So, what attitude should we take when we lose this? I'm thinking of going for the tried-and-tested "smug indifference".

 

[Cevno]

Kohli needs to carry on from here.

Edit- Damn!! Risking throwing it away here.

 

[nsniks]

Oh FFS dont screwup a good start

 

[superkingdave]

Good comeback over from Broad here

 

[Howe_zat]

I'd have sent in Dhoni next. Decent player to plug a collapse.

 

[Cevno]

Should try and bounce out Raina tbh. Not sure about Bowling Swann at him here.

 

[Cevno]

Rohit's dismissals are often so Lazy. Has a air of Inzamam in all of his batting.

 

[Xuhaib]

Rahane isn't a specialist opener though, and hard to compare on T20 vs Test match cricket.

just talking about the general look off him as a batsman very very impressive.

I'm torn between ignoring the whole of England's innings and contributing a stream of FFS's as they struggle to pass 120 on this track. Haven't decided yet.
