*Official* T20 and ODI matches

Nah, England have simply batted much better than they've bowled. Jimmy didn't have to bowl to Raina or Dhoni in power mode, and got a lot of Dravid hitting it straight to fielders.

Wasn't really a serious suggestion although Jimmeh bowled all his overs in the powerplays and only 5 deliveries were to Dravid, he bowled 7 to Patel who was destroying Bresnan at the other end and got him out and only had one delivery that went for more than 1 run (2).

Didn't expect it to be this easy. Surely we can't throw this away.

 

[MW1304]

Did you say that on purpose? Of course we can **** this up.

 

[grecian]

Again? What an arse.

Just for this match, because it was 23 overs aside, not that shocking a call, but you'd think he'd have just been quiet considering what happened earlier in the Summer.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Was that an actual slower ball from Praveen or was it just a slower stock ball? 69.6mph is plausible as either.

Follows it up with one at 72.4mph, so probz the latter.

 

[Daemon]

Slogging should be banned

 

[Burgey]

Isn't that all we had to do against India in the WC? Two wickets down then, too.

Yeah but this is a nothing game, so you won't choke.

Ah, fair. I got the impression it was mostly Patel at one end and Dravid at the other. Which in hindsight makes no sense, seeing as Dravid came in when Patel got out.

If Athers still believes Cook shouldn't be in the team I respect him for saying it. Better than him pretending like he never said it tbh

Better yet if he held his hands up.

Been a good knock from Cook, but the bowling has been on the gash side of average, tbf.

 

[MW1304]

Deadset worst shot for the situation. Selectors watching?

 

[grecian]

We can still lose this.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Time for a mini-choke here?

Ashwin looks a pie-chucker to me, but outfoxed Ravinder there. Make of that what you will.

 

[Jono]

He will when he's ultimately convinced, which he is yet to be.

Will back Athers to the hilt. Love that man

 

[superkingdave]

He still might, but would have liked to have seen Stokes have a hit

 

[Howe_zat]

Ravi gone. Shame he couldn't see it out, but a serviceable effort today, not bad at all.

Good for you, nothing wrong with a bit of brown love.

Middle order. Bats more than he bowls.
