*Official* India v England 3-ODI series at Maharashtra CA Stadium, Pune

[Manee]

Surely this is the weakest one day bowling attack England have ever had.How on earth do the Curran’s warrant a place.I know we are missing Woakes Wood and Archer but some of the lengths are mind blowing and unfortunately Butler just lets it happen.unless we chase we will not win games as our bowling is so poor and without any direction.I fear for us as the selectors don’t have a clue.When did Ali last take a wicket or go for less than5 an over

You may be right but I think it is worth taking into account that Pant and Pandya are truly special hitters. There is no huge shame in getting carted by them - just like no huge shame in getting carted by the England batsmen. Even Wood has been demolished a couple of times in this limited overs leg.

England are certainly missing Jofra (just as India are missing Bumrah) but I think all teams would miss someone like him.

 

[White Ball]

I have India as strong favourite from here just keep pushing the RRR up and pressure England that way

 

[Noumenon]

England showing they can adapt. Makes them doubly formidable.

 

[honestbharani]

Malan being there is a plus for England. Their batting looks more balanced somehow today. But there is the dreaded second Shardul spell that will probably win India the game.


Second Innings Shami...

Second Spell Shardul...

We produce these guys somehow who do better at different stages of the game than when you most expect them to.

 

[Apex Predator]

Eng making it look too easy. Ultra slow batting at the start may come back to bite us finally

 

[theegyptian]

Sh it running. Give it out

 

[OverratedSanity]

@Spikey hi

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah.. I think nothing was over the line and he was out but I can see why the benefit of the doubt is given to the batsman there. Fair enough as long as they are consistent about it.

 

[hazsa19]

That was **** from Stokes. Lucky to be there

 

[honestbharani]

Kuldeep is just so shot right now. I dont think he should be playing any of the 3 formats for us. Maybe we should try this side for the last game -

Rohit (vc)
Sundar
Virat (c)
Rahul
Pant (wk)
Hardik
Krunal
Shardul
Bhuvi
Chahar
Krishna

I think 3rd Umpire have been too generous to Eng in the tour. I don't think anything was behind the line.

 

[MW1304]

Damn he is some one day player.

 

[Noumenon]

The umpiring has been perfect on balance. No howlers the whole series.

Nice of England for finally putting on a clinic for our top order to watch and learn. Watch and learn boys.

 

[White Ball]

Stokes was out poor decision still think England are capable of a collapse here

 

[Noumenon]

Always watch cricket on mute but reliably informed that one of the Indian commentator was making snarky comments on England's approach first match and how they needed to learn from KL Rahul.

And KLR himself disclosed in a mid-match chat that when he was batting with Kohli, the goal was to get a total over 300 as that would be challenging for ENG.

The mind. It boggles.

KL HAS to say that though, given he was defending balls in the 43rd over.

 

[honestbharani]

Good to see Virat let Rohit take the lead in the huddle there. It shows he is mature enough to let go of his ego and just let someone else take the lead where it makes sense. Good signs for India, hopefully he does the same with Rahane in tests from time to time.

I hope India lose a few games this series badly. The entire philosophy of this team is ass backwards. Play a turgid outdated innings in ODIs but when Pujara defends a few balls in a row in a game that takes 5 days to finish he needs to play with more intent. **** off.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah.. we have Kuldeep who is good for a 100 for you guys.

Called it.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Kuldeep looks completely finished
