    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    Yeah. Loved the game where Kohli and Jadhav chased down 360 after being 65 for 4 down in 15 overs iirc. One of my all time fav odi games.

    I think its very, very debatable that England are the better ODI side. They definitely have a problem with bowling, especially at the death and middle overs. India with Bumrah otoh have a much more formidable bowling attack, a comparably explosive but far more reliable top order but inferior...

    Did you watch his century against the West Indies?

    I thought you meant England will be batting in the order that you listed. I'm actually okay with Stokes at 7 and a top order of Hales, Roy and Bairstow but like you I'm not too sure about Stokes and Root bowling 10 overs either, especially because England of late aren't known for bowling out...

    Hales and Buttler are too low at 6 and 7. You need Buttler at 6 and Hales top of the order but since you can't have both without dropping Root I say drop Hales for Ali (considering that England are a bowler short anyway). He is an underrated hitter and can be economical sometimes but that'll...

    I think they simply don't care about the T20s. Ravi Shastri has admitted just that in past.

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    Just to remind everyone, this is a fairly depleted Indian attack with no Bumrah, Bhuvi and Kuldeep - 3 of the frontline LO bowlers. With Yadav and Chahar as death bowlers I expect nothing less than England posting over 210.

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    I don't think just your wicketkeeping skills should warrant you a place in the side, though. Also from IPL I'm quite convinced that blokes like Pant and Rahul can keep decently in LO games (both kept to good spinners as well as fairly pacy bowlers). Dhoni simply isn't reliable anymore as a...

    Root failing to pick even Chahal's googlies who by his own admission doesn't even attempt to disguise them

    Buttler feels guilty for continuing every time he is dropped so creates another chance right after

    Experience aside, shouldn't we just play Shaw instead of Vijay? He looked clueless in SA, don't trust him too much in England either.

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    I actually kind of agree with that. Bhuvi is a weak link in current Indian attack which is otherwise probably the best in LO rn.

    A Wasteman Xi - Tribute to slippy

    Right. Idk how I missed him. David Miller will definitely be better at 6 instead of Sabbir Rahman.

    A Wasteman Xi - Tribute to slippy

    Slippy's wasteman ODI XI: Aaron Finch* Salman Butt Darren Bravo Callum Ferguson Yuvraj Singh Sabbir Rahman Umar Akmal + Irfan Pathan David Willey Danish Kaneria Umesh Yadav It is actually a quite decent XI tbh
