PITCH THE ****ING BALL UP YOU IDIOT ISHANT!

For God's sake.

GTFO out of this T20 team. Its doing you no good with regards to your test and ODI bowling, and you're doing India no good.

Sharma 4-0-36-0.

GTFO from the T20 side!

Anyone who thinks India have bowled and fielded well today needs to get their head examined. WIth the possible exception of Harbhajan singh, the rest are lucky to be going at less than 10 an over.

I think Jadeja's bowled well. Where do I get this head examining done then?

 

[Smith]

Ishant. He is a wonderful brilliant bowler. But just not cut out for T20. Has not yet developed the street smarty attitude for that.

Jadeja also did well. The rest were pathetic.

I'm not sure it's fair to say RP was pathetic.

 

[Jono]

RP is a useless trundler who is crap when there is no swing Ishant just had an off night will bounce back he's too good to consistently under perform.

Fair to say you were wrong.

Really hope Ishant doesn't play the next game. He's not bowling any better than Irfan atm, and adds nothing with the bat.

 

[Jono]

Lulz.

Haha. Been saying it for a while. Not only is he hurting India, he's hurting himself in the real stuff. Its just going to lower his confidence and reputation when we play test cricket.

****. Get a clue India.

Irfan Pathan over Sharma from now on is the way to go. Pathan not a bad death bowler if the keeper is standing up to the stumps.

Tight spin bowling ftw

Oh noes! Shah is out!

Harby strikes. Caught at deep mid-wicket.

Yep.

Fairly simple. Open Zaheer (though he's not been on form) and RP. Bowl Irfan in the middle overs (you know, the bowling that won us a ****ing World Cup 18 months ago) and use the spinners.

Such a simple formula, yet we're not doing it. Annoying.

Jadeja has done ok, I think hes done better than he should have because he was played poorly. The ball that Pietersen missed should have gone into the crowd. However, Zaheer was lucky to get away at just 7 an over given the number of balls he bowled on the pads, and RP singh was perhaps just as fortunate. If they continue to bowl like this against SA and the rest, they are going to get whacked.

 

[Shri]

Lol @ Collingwood. Murali plays that shot better.

[cover drive man]

England trading at 3.15 on betfair, not a very smart bet.

Irfan bowled well in last game and he bats as well - so maybe he will replace Ishant against SAF!

 

[Smith]

India would have tied England in but for useless captaincy by Dhoni in bringing in Yuvraj Singh. But since then he's been the usual Dhoni.

Can but hope so.
