***Official*** England in India 2016/17

[OverratedSanity]

He didn't, unless. You mean 2014

Almost

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lmao comedy gold, that last over.

Superb from Jordan. India left 20 runs on the board there, still in the game though with early wickets

 

[MW1304]

Why doesn't Dhoni ever just come in early and play a proper t20 innings? Never hit a 50 in the format.

 

[Jono]

Ugh, just pathetic in every way. Watch them walk this by 6 wickets thanks to the fast bowlers giving away 10 Rpo in the first 4.

 

[Howe_zat]

Does a job does Jordan.

First I saw was Mills bowling Pandey so I reckon this target is another straightforward one. But the presence of 3 spinners in the England team makes me think it's not the same pitch. Was there big turn out there?

 

[CricAddict]

With this team, it will be a surprise if England don't whitewash India in this series.

 

[Howe_zat]

These Indians need to spend a stint in the NatWest T20 Blast to learn how the game has moved on imo.

Kohli spending a few innings at New Road facing Jack Shantry's 70 mph cutters can only help him tbf

 

[Pratters]

England bowled really well. That umpire was so bad.

 

[Pratters]

Why do we keep playing Yuvraj Singh and Raina? Dhoni should bat at least a spot higher.

 

[indiaholic]

Glad to have something to file into my 'Manish Pandey is ****' folder.

 

[Shri]

**** this. Pandey, **** off. Ideal XI:

R Sharma
KL Rahul
V Kohli
MS Dhoni
S Raina
R Pant
R Jadeja
H Pandya
A Mishra/Y Chahal
B Kumar
J Bumrah

 

[Jono]

Thought Pandey was your boy Shri

and WTF is Raina doing in that XI.

 

[Pratters]

Have watched Pant. Was impressed and better version of Dhawan in the making probably. Dhawan gives you a feeling that he's going to score quickly but Pant actually scores.

How exactly does Dhawan give this feeling? He never does to me.

 

[theegyptian]

England have got a good to very good fielding unit in this. Billings for Hales makes a big difference. Very good outfielders in Stokes, Jordan, Billings.

Mills, Rashid and Ali are the weaker ones. Even Mills seems to have improved over the winter. Ali doesn't make many mistakes but isn't particularly quick and weak arm for an outfielder. Rashid possibly the worst with Tymal.

R Sharma

No chubby boy Raina, oh no.

 

[Jono]

Chahal opening. I like it.

Top T20 player, Raina. Pandey should play T20s in the top order or not at all.

 

[Daemon]

Joke batting performance.

Kohli was out twice (plumb lbw turned down)
Yuvraj was out twice to the same ball and same shot (sweeping the spinner going away from you)
Pandey was out twice (bowled by stokes and the bails didn't fall off)
Raina didn't read a googly from a spinner that bowls it every other ball
No one was prepared or knew what the **** to do against the slower balls

All round terrible. Without Rahul they'd be nowhere.
