*Official* T20 and ODI matches

[keeper]

The commentators know it's 23 overs but the umpires don't?

 

[keeper]

I'm amused by Alastair Cook captaining Stuart Broad in what is basically a 20 overs game.

hehe, will look for those tactical innovations in the extra 3 overs

 

[G.I.Joe]

Dravid just can't catch a break. First the selectors make him play the ODIs after he thought he was retired from them. Now the weather decides he isn't really retired from T20I's.

WTF no Trott and Patel is down to bat at 3, that batting line up looks weak to me, really baffling line up to say the least, surely Bell to 3.

I'm sure that's just Cricinfo replacing Trott with Patel from the last game. Reckon bell will go in at 3, Patel has been down the order in all the previous games this year.

Trott's probably the last batsman I'd leave out from that lineup. Good to see we're chasing, we struggle to set the pace anyway so I'm not comfy at all doing so without KP or Morgan.

No it was on Sky, but they've just said they were given the wrong line up and Bell is at 3, Ravi, then Stokes, then Patel, so still no Trott.

 

[MW1304]

Morgan out? That's our series over then. I'm not even joking, we're that reliant on him in ODIs.

 

[Neil Pickup]

This could be farcical. Cold, wet, generally minging.

September night cricket - not really what the floodlights are designed for...

 

[Scaly piscine]

I wish they'd stop saying Bopara is unproven. His absolute ****ness is pretty well known.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Our batting looks a wee bit shallow, eh?

Pfft. Leg side long hop from Bres second ball duly despatched down to fine leg and then a lovely square cut for 4 off the third.

& now a wide.

 

[Jacknife]

How many times do England start poorly with the ball in ODi's, it's ridiculous.

 

[MW1304]

Chances of this lasting even 40 overs?

 

[Jacknife]

You can see it spitting now.

 

[MW1304]

Good chance for Jimmy to stake a claim in T20s. Started well.

 

[Cevno]

Wow!! Parthiv.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Parthiv contnuing his good form from the Riverside. Pulls Bres for a Dorothy.

 

[Jacknife]

Bres bowling 82mph dross. atm don't understand if you bowl a good yorker, get one in.

 

[keeper]

Front is moving over. Hants will do anything to get a game in.

Sort it out Bresnan - utter dross.

 

[OMM!]

Got to stop opening the bowling with Bresnan in T20/ODIs. He's terrible with the new ball. Great at the death though!

Should just bowl 4 overs of yorkers!
