***Official*** England in India

[Sanz]

Question is whether they're actually going to go for it. It's doable if you've got a bit of self-belief - but it's still nigh-on impossible.

Right now it is 122 runs in 11 overs, India scored 110 runs in last 11. So 12 more runs, I think it is possible. It would have been a lot easier if Freddie was still around. But anyways, let's see. Btw - I am not trying to jinx this time. I genuinly believe that it is doable and I want england to make a match out of it.

I'm not too sure I like this new attitude you've developed.

 

[aussie]

superb partnership by these 2, if Jones could bat like this in ODI's more consistently he could maintain his place.

ha, has i turn around Jones gets caught

 

[adharcric]

Sehwag makes his contribution, not as batsman or bowler, but as outfielder ... "Mr. Cool Dude" -nasser hussain ... wtf

 

[kvemuri]

Now it may be over...damn, Jones and Collingwood definitely gave a scare.

 

[Nate]

Can someone explain what all this 'slower delivery' crap is all about?

 

[Jono]

Pathan's slower ball gets another

England missed a trick with getting the ball changed again, if they'd have got it changed earlier (usual discoloured excuses) as is the norm in ODI cricket that Geraint shot might have got six instead of out.

Does this guy every stop whinning ? How about giving some credit to the other team and your team.

 

[adharcric]

Hats off to Collingwood for putting up a fight. Yuvraj should let him touch the MOM Trophy just to be nice.

 

[Jono]

Good knock by Collingwood.

 

[Barney Rubble]

England's late-order putting up a real fight here, good stuff from Colly, GoJo and now Plunkers.

Oh My!! AA has just picked up a wicket...

 

[Jono]

Make that 2!

I kinda knew he'd pick up some cheap wickets at the end, he has a habit of performing when it doesn't matter (whether it be when the win or loss is inevitable).

England can't win with 8 players, England surely have better options in County Cricket somewhere than Kabir, Mahmood, Shah, Solanki and so forth. The problems are exaggerated by the new players coming in to the less than successful ODI side and doing nothing, as opposed to when new players come into the successful Test side they generally do well.

And the master finishes up in Style.

MoM - AA. Congratulations to the President on another feather in his cap. Glory to Marc.

I agree, except that Mahmood bowled well for his spell except the one last over that went for 22. THe over before you could see he was struggling to get to the crease, and was definatly having cramps. I put that 22 on Flintoff, he shouldn't have brought him back. It was just asking for it.

Overall, Mahmood didn't bowl too badly. The other ones though....yea, surely there are some in county cricket who can do better.

What happened to Alistair Cook? He scored a great century in tests, and he's nowhere to be found in the ODI?

You are just Jealous, learn from someone who knows how to pay respect to the almighty, Here is another devotee and a life long member of AAAS bursting with joy and excitement :-

Agarkar to Plunkett, OUT: bowled'm! fuller length delivery on the
stumps, hint of reverse in swing, Plunkett plays all over it and
the off stump is pegged back, England nine down, India need just
one more to finish this off


Agarkar to Mahmood, OUT: bowled'm and it's all over! full and on
the stumps, again reversing in, you miss I hit delivery, Mahmood
comes down the track and swings hard, misses the target by miles
and the ball crashes into the woodwork

I just need to see Ian Bell be in the team.. i think he would play much better than SHAH.. he deserves a chance..
