*Official* T20 and ODI matches

I can't ****ing believe what I am watching ,missing a full toss off a spinner, GTFO Stokes.

 

[Furball]

Shot Ravi.

 

[Jacknife]

I know they are playing with 4 of their top 11, would've walked the first odi and had momentum when rain came here today

They would have walked the first one if it was still a 50/50 over game?

 

[Furball]

How has that missed?

 

[Cevno]

Looked pedestrian against spin and finally fell to a full toss. Seriously, why was this guy so hyped up? Looked rank to my eyes all the while he was out there. (except that killer shot for six)

I think it is the same case as some young Indian batsman against seam,swing and bounce. The English and Aussies young batsman struggle against spin.

 

[Jacknife]

Not the same pitch we played on is it.

 

[Cevno]

That was gone if he hit.

No wonder England left some grass on.

Without it this pitch would have played straight into India's hands.

Yeah! I love to see these overpaid, useless hacks (read: batsmen) earn their runs the hard way. So you wouldn't hear me complaining in either case.

 

[Jacknife]

These 2 want to keep a eye on the RR and don't let it get above 6 rpo.

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.

Yeah, Jadeja usually lacks the power to hit those to the stands.

He's always been a bit gun IMO. He was just in a rut he found he hard to get out of, rarely came in to bat in a situation that suited his game of building an innings (unlike here), was bascially hated by millions and under-performed as a result. I think it was all a bit much for a 20 year old; he could be a really important cricketer for India going forward though as I've said before.

Well, the key is that he was dropped, he went back and learned some power hitting, put on some muscle and when he was playing this year's IPL, it was obvious he had more gears to his batting than he did in his earlier stint. That is why I think he will be a much better player for us now than he was, esp. if his bowling has remained intact.

Social is a well known troll. I shouldn't have answered him, we've killed India in every way, we've also had our best ODI player missing

Not sure were luck is, here, they may have won the first match, but there'd have been about 35 overs of crud bowling to come.

 

[Furball]

Suresh Raina has bowled 3 overs for 6 runs.

No, that's not a typo.

I don't think playing a natural game against the spinning ball and milking runs comes easily to either of them.

They'd be best advised to add a few without any damage and then launch into the Indian trundlers when they come back on.

 

[Furball]

Who said that Indians can't field?

edit: stupid captaincy this by Dhoni. England can barely hit the spinners off the square; bowl them out.

Agree mate, need to make hay off the seamers.

Munaf body language is really bad

Don't think india were a guarantee to walk it by any means but were certainly on top at the time and the momentum was with India.

And missing Morgan is hardly a excuse considering who India are missing and have missed throughout the series.

You still have Dhoni, Raina and Kohli; that's 3 more ODI standard batsmen than England have.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

Good commitment from Raina. I'm assuming he's not one of the donkeys I've been reading about.


EDIT: Oh dear! Skipper misses one as I type.
