*Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

[chris.hinton]

How’s that coming along?

Johnny is human....

Seriously India have dominated this and fair play we look ropey in all departments

 

[chris.hinton]

This game is a day nighter and it going to finish within 45 overs

Just after 5o clock at this rate

I have said it before and i will repeat it.No matter how we bat we will have no chance in the World Cup unless we can find 3 bowlers.Our one day attack is embarrassing and the weakest of the top nations.If your over 6 feet and can bowl short you are picked

Has there been any other test nation who tried as many pace bowlers in ODIs (or even LOIs) as England have in last 2-3 years?

Bit hard to find quality backup pacers when they are basically treated as bowling machines on absolute roads in domestic white ball tourneys.

Still have Woakes, Archer, Wood yet to come in. Topley looks to be decent and Carse has some potential to work with. All is not gloom yet.

Mate....

do you remember the last world cup?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well this new coach hasn't had a good start so far in pyjama cricket.

Are they going to have a beer match after?

Yeah, it's quite pop-gun. On small Indian grounds, you're looking at regularly conceding totals in excess of 325. Which, to be fair, your batsmen should be in with a shout of chasing on most days, but you can only go so far in a tournament like that with a lop-sided setup.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Does Dhawan figure in our WC plans or is he just filling in for Rahul?

 

[Bijed]

Bazball won't work in the long term

McCullum isn't white-ball coach, can't expect Bazball to just translate across formats

This match reminds me of the Teutoburg forest in the year 9AD,
The words massacre and annihilation first spring to mind.

Slightly longer than the monosyllabic words that sprang to my mind.

But India are looking very good, aren't they.

 

[ankitj]

Bumrah is like Tendulkar in how he cannot stop smiling after a great performance.

mind there probably weren't that many Sanskrit-speaking people there

 

[Apex Predator]

England has 4 T20I series defeats & 2 ODI series defeats against India since white ball revolution in 2015.
Surely not best white ball side going around.

Bumrah's 6/19 are the best figures by any player against the top 6 teams (Aus, Ind, Eng, Pak, NZ and SA) in the last 7 years ( after 2015 WC when ODIs evolved into a totally different format).

Best figures by a bowler against a current world champion team

 

[Pratters]

What a win for India.

 

[slippy888]

I don't want Rahul back Dhawan is the better batsman
