***Official*** India in England 2014

Root keeping his place of Ballance is a joke. Root's ODI form has been garbage for a year now, he needs to perform. Ali better bowler and batting option at 3.

 

[King Pietersen]

I love Root, but should definitely be Moeen in his place. Would probably work quite well at 5, and his bowling is MUCH better.

Stokes bowling miserably today. Going at 9 an over in his first 2, and first ball of his 3rd is a rank full-toss. Needs more consistency!

Yep if the selectors had any common sense Moeen Ali and Finn would have played, and you let Root and Stokes play in the quarter final.

But they're clearly morons. They piss all over County Cricket when this a perfect opportunity for mutual benefit.

James Tredwell continues to perform for England. 53 wickets at 24.77 now in ODi's. Might not look pretty, but he always does the job.

Kohli hey.

I know, and the pundits and lots of fans all want him out for the likes of Rashid, Patel and Parry

 

[Singh Is King]

India fans as usual singing "Championes Championes Ole Ole Ole" : D: ....might as well keep singing it unlikely that we will keep our WORLD CHAMPIONS crown next year lol !

 

[Contra]

Are India really considering Mohit Sharma as a serious option for ODIs? I like the dude but I can't see him doing anything meaningful in ODI cricket against top teams. Just doesn't have the tools to succeed.

No way should he be dropped. We may need to look at them as another option in case Tredders is ill/injured but he is one of our best ever ODI spinners.

 

[Jarquis]

That looked pretty good

 

[MW1304]

When did we revert to thinking Stokes and Woakes were remotely serviceable ODI bowlers again?

 

[91Jmay]

With our death bowling India should be on for 280+. Poor LBW decision really hurting us now with how Raina is striking them.

 

[King Pietersen]

Jordan and Woakes are going to get tonked at the death. Where's Turdbach when you need him.

Jordan's ****ing terrible. Need to get rid, and bring back Finn.

 

[marc71178]

Nevermind.. but he should've been selected before this.

Up until this current point at no time in the past has he deserved a call up for the ODI side, so what is your justification for saying he should've been selected before now?

 

[King Pietersen]

This is laughable. 5 wides in an over. Pathetic bowling. If we lose by 5 runs, Jordan is getting lynched.

 

[Adders]

Jesus ****ing Christ.

 

[Adders]

Playing 5 specialist bowlers and we look 3 short.......

 

[grecian]

Finn too? If he comes back to somewhere near his best.

Sorry just noticed this, I was talking about batting order. I want Stokes in Oz really, but not sure he looks fit. Woakes not going to be any good there IMHO. Jordan just isn't going to work as an ODI bowler I'm afraid.

Finn has to play, I think your bowling line-up looks like the one that probably will play, yet injury is always a worry.

and the rest......

 

[King Pietersen]

Anderson, Broad, Finn, Willey, Tredwell and Ali the bowlers for me.

Oh **** off Raina.
