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

[Chin Music]

I reckon 400 is on. 2 2ickets down and pretty much 200 in 30 where they say you can double your score in the last 20. As much as we've criticised 4 specialist quicks in Asia, playing only four specialist bowlers with Root and Livingstone trying to make up 10 overs together is an incompetent selection too.

 

[Molehill]

Criticised Rashid before, but he's been easily the best bowler today and deserved the wicket of Gill. Which suggests that unless dew becomes a big factor, England will struggle against quality spin.

Good jinx

Change quality spin to most spin?

Death bowling coming ...

Mahmood 8/1
Wood 9/1
Atkinson 13/1

30/4

 

[Molehill]

Death bowling coming ...

Mahmood 8/1
Wood 6/0

Are you going to add Atkinson who has been appalling in this innings?

Wood will be our most economical bowler (by some distance) and will only bowl 9 overs. Not great from Buttler again.

Wood - Excellent
Rashid - Very Good
Mahmood - Ok
Root - Poor
Livingstone- Rubbish
Atkinson - Could be his last ODI!!

Haven't seen first innings but pitch looms like a belter and am sure there would dew so would be interesting how england would chase this

 

[King Kane]

Rashid the pick of the England bowlers, he can be expensive but he is a wicket taker.

A big run chase for England but at least they know what they are chasing, a shame Bethell is injured, he is already a crucial white ball player for them.

 

[FBU]

Expensive over by Arshdeep

 

[Molehill]

Scoring runs in the powerplay certainly hasn't been an issue for England in this series. It's what follows straight after that generally is.....

Duckett injured himself in the field and is definitely not moving well between the wickets. But if he keeps hitting boundaries....

 

[King Kane]

A good start from Duckett, he has even scored a 4 when he missed it, rare touch.

 

[brandon]

If Duckett had a brain he’d be the best batsman in the world.

 

[King Kane]

I jinxed him.

 

[Molehill]

Banton in at 3 is a change of plan.

 

[kevinw]

If Duckett had a brain he’d be the best batsman in the world.

Yep so much talent but leaves so many runs in the shed.

 

[FBU]

Sundar as bad as Root. Going to miss Jadeja.

 

[kevinw]

Start the car already

 

[Nintendo]

Yep so much talent but leaves so many runs in the shed.

Injured today tbf. Can't blame him for just having a slog.

 

[mackembhoy]

Banton at 3 and Root at 4 is the most sensible way we've lined up in ages.

Brook at 5 and Buttler at 6 is a much better batting lineup.
