*Official* T20 and ODI matches

Could tell Nass was itching to use the "D" word to describe Praveen's effort there.

Not a natural athlete, is he?

PK was unlucky then. Did well to get there and momentum worked against him.

Kind of what I thought too, and the appalingly wet outfield messed it up too.

 

[superkingdave]

Lol, you know things are bad in the field if Patel is running sneaky twos

 

[Jacknife]

Puts the bowing of Jimmy and Swann into perspective does this pitch both bowled really well.

 

[OMM!]

So England beat India with only 3 foreign born stars. 1 of which has a British Mum and the other 2 learnt all their cricket here!

And Brezzy Lad's death bowling, which was again World Class!

If he could bowl with the new cherry.....

 

[Jono]

England won comfortably enough for it not to matter I guess, but you are right, Bresnan's death bowling has been very very good.

 

[Howe_zat]

I've just thought how ridiculous it is that cricket is going on this late.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Captain Cook now averages 40 in ODI's with a strike rate of 78. Not bad considering he shouldn't be in the side.

Good win. Shame it was a shortened game.

Pretty much. Total farce.

Cook now averaging 40.00 @ SR 78.33 Not that bad at ODIs after all...

 

[Jacknife]

The perfect way to chase a total imo get 100 up at over 10 rpo then milk the bowling the rest of the way, sorted.

 

[Howe_zat]

...and that's why we're the world champions in this format.

 

[Howe_zat]

Pretty much. Total farce.

Averages 67.25 @ SR 97.28 as captain.

Along with test cricket, India really need to improve their 23 over cricket imo.

Yeah this 23 over game thing could catch on. They have plenty to work on.

 

[centurymaker]

"pay back time" typical indian fans

shame

 

[Cevno]

What?

 

[Cruxdude]

While yet another loss is disappointing, it is not all gloom. Rahane is proving to be a good batsman and is a joy to watch. Parthiv is showing promising signs of being a decent bat. Raina's confidence is getting back.
