***Official*** England in India 2016/17

[Niall]

Really don't think a t20 side in 2017 needs the trio of Yuvi, Dhoni and Manish whatsoever. One maybe, 2 at a push, but the three of him? No thanks.

 

[91Jmay]

Would feel comfortable with chasing around 170, any more and their spinners might be too much

 

[Burner]

Yuvraj is the only problem for mine. No need to drop him in ODIs , the format where batsmen can play a couple of overs of dot balls without really ****ing up the game but in t20s selecting him is a death wish.

I dunno, looks a 140-150 par pitch.

 

[91Jmay]

Agree 150 around par but we have a better than par batting line up

Yeah ODI cricket is a different story, but not really sure of his worth in this format. He hasn't done much in recent IPL editions and the power hitting I suspect is gone. If he is a glorified accumulator I don't really see how essential he to a side where that sort of batsman is plentiful.


This is very good stuff from Rahul though.

 

[Contra]

I've never been a Pandey fan tbh, just doesn't give me confidence as a batsmen. Needs to hit out now

 

[91Jmay]

Great overs from Stokes and Mills.

 

[Jono]

This is so bad to watch. You know they are going to bowl slower balls, wait for it.

Watch the Indian pacers not bowl a single slower ball during their innings too.

Easier said than done when the bloke can send down a 92MPH ball if he fancies

 

[Jono]

Pandey should genuinely just walk off with a hamstring injury.

 

[CricAddict]

Yes the t20 team needs people like Iyer Pant Jadhav etc with Kohli and Dhoni as the fulcrum. Yuvraj Raina and Manish have to go.

Rahul Pant Kohli Dhoni Jadhav No 6 Pandya Jaddu Bhuvi Bumrah Shami/Ashwin is my team

No 6 can be someone like Surya Yadav/Deepak Hooda

 

[OverratedSanity]

15 (17) in a t20 when batting in the last 7-8 overs is just unacceptable.

 

[Jono]

Nah **** this, on your way Pandey

 

[91Jmay]

Keep them to 150 and we will have a decent chance.

 

[OverratedSanity]

We're just 3 wickets down ffs. This is dire.

I liked what I seen of Sarfraz Khan also, type of player who can hard very early, something which this lower order really needs

Do like your team though, no obvious issues with it.

 

[CricAddict]

Terrible from Pandey. Losing the game for India single handedly

 

[Burner]

At least Pandey is getting the singles. I think this is a difficult pitch to bat on and he hasn't done that bad.

 

[Daemon]

Pandey is probably thinking about his future now. Pretty sure this will be his last game for a while.
