*Official* T20 and ODI matches

So how many spinners do India have that are actually batsmen?

Playing it fast and loose by calling Ashwin and Jadeja "spinners"

 

[nsniks]

What a great shot

Kind of my point. I wondered what Mishra was doing in the tests before realizing he's not actually a bowler.

 

[Cevno]

What was the third man doing up there?

 

[Jacknife]

If Ashwin's hitting boundaries you know you've ****ed up.

You've got to say it looks a good pitch to me.

You are supposed to come to India for ODI's in October, aren't you?

 

[MW1304]

So desperate we're having to use Jimmy at the death. Get yer yorker in today, please.

Mishra's a bit different to Ashin and Jadeja though. Both of these two - especially Jadeja - are genuine middle order batsmen in domestic FC cricket. Mishra's a handy lower order bat with a good technique but his 80 odd was a much bigger surprise than this is.

 

[Cevno]

Jadeja playing a really good knock here!!

 

[Furball]

Cribb regretting not getting on Jadeja for MOTM aws.

 

[Jacknife]

**** bowling.

 

[Prince EWS]

If Jadeja really does get MOTM here I'll have seriously mixed feelings about it. I called it in this thread ages ago - as soon as he was picked, in fact - but I forgot to bet on it today so I'll lose out on heaps of theoretical money.

 

[MW1304]

And he doesn't.

So we're in a bit of trouble now, momentum and all that.

Yep, was going to as well. Actually did for the first two ODIs just in case he got picked (they refund if the guy doesn't make the eleven) but got on too late today.

 

[grecian]

Surely Broad is better at the end then Jimmy, who should have been bowled out earlier, all looking a bit shambolic now.

Oh wait a minute, scrub that Bres was bowled out.

 

[Howe_zat]

Can't believe this. Should have given them absolutely no chance, as it is this could end up a winning score. Pissing hell.

I almost want him to take 5 in England's innings.

Just because.

 

[Jacknife]

I can't get my head round how bad this ****ing bowling is, Deenbach''s fault it's what he's in the team for. Only consolation is they are way below par. on this pitch.

 

[MW1304]

Haha this is shambolic stuff. That one over from Dernbach has thrown everything off course and now everyone is bowling tripe.

Brilliant from Jadeja too, never have understood the hate for him.

 

[Furball]

So we've got a choice of Anderson or Dernbach for the 50th and Broad will only bowl 9.

Good stuff.
