***official*** England whiteball tour of india January 2025***

[Molehill]

Sky seems to be an absolute mess at the mo.

What an over.

 

[FBU]

What a change, Mahmood for Wood

3-1-19-3 not bad

Mahmood- First English player to bowl a triple wicket maiden and the first from any team to do so against India in T20 Internationals.

What a change, Mahmood for Wood

3-1-19-3 not bad

He's a much better bowler in this format than Wood, clear to anyone with eyes.

 

[FBU]

Bethell playing his part, a catch off Rashid

 

[Molehill]

Buttler drops Dube first ball though, tough chance but not impossible. Hope that's not costly....

He'd be better off behind the stumps/opening the batting than Salt doing both them jobs.

 

[FBU]

No wickets for Archer 4-0-37-0

 

[Molehill]

The wheels have fallen off, although it does now look a great wicket for batting.

Overton managing to concede 12 runs in one ball is damaging and this over is going for plenty.

Why's he letting Salt keep? Salt is not a better keeper.

 

[Molehill]

Some of the bowling seems really odd. Dube clearly struggles with the short ball, yet they've really not bowled it enough to him.

And now Livingstone drops a sitter. Things change quick in T20.

 

[FBU]

Good last over

 

[kevinw]

If Joverton can actually score some runs they may have the balance or this bowling attack sorted.

 

[mackembhoy]

Why's he letting Salt keep? Salt is not a better keeper.

I'm assuming it's just to help him with captaincy and one less job to do.

But we're weaker with him not opening the batting(Salt with no doubt now have a stormer)

He's been superb against the Windies but below par against everyone else.

Salt record in T20I

	Span	Mat	Inns	NO	Runs	HS	Ave	BF	SR	100	50	0	4s	6s
West Indies	2023-2024	14	13	3	640	119	64.00	354	180.79	3	3	2	48	42
Everyone Else	2022-2025	28	25	2	475	88*	20.65	328	144.81	0	1	2	57	16

 

[Molehill]

Good last over

Apart from a couple of horror deliveries at the start of one over, Overton was probably the pick. Mahmood bowled one superb over but pretty average ones after.

Feels like a par score, but whether England have the batting to chase it remains to be seen.

 

[Silly Point 2.0]

Definitely chaseable IF all goes well. Need someone to take it by the scruff of the neck though

 

[SkyBlue]

Meaningless series but Gambhir is already looking under massive pressure

A poor showing in CT(very likely) and he gets sacked imo

Just too many terrible results since he's taken charge

Dude its bcci. They dont give **** about performance. As long as he doesn't drop their useless superstars

 

[kevinw]

Throwing this game away

 

[Molehill]

Another scrappy innings from Salt, he's just not International class, and a rare fail from Buttler.

This total now looking out of reach.

 

[Silly Point 2.0]

Livingstone once a series special or bust then
