*Official* T20 and ODI matches

WTF how come the pitch has turned into a spinners paradise.

 

[Jono]

TOP BALL!

Loving Ashwin's work. Firm believer he will be a good ODI bowler for India. Bowled well at the World Cup.

 

[grecian]

Ehh?? We're still well above the rate, how was that Trott's fault?

All I can say is, DO NOT leave this to nos.7-11.

It was sarcasm, sorry, mind you that was his fault, could struggle now.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

Spin is beginning to bite. England are making it look tougher than it actually is.

Although, Trott's dismissal was to one helluva ball!

 

[Howe_zat]

Oh you've got to be kidding me.

 

[MW1304]

Indian supporters to use the same argument about spin/English batsmen as we did about seam/Indian batsmen. Fair atm tbh.

 

[Furball]

It's alright lads, Bell will get 34 (60) before chipping lazily to the only fielder within 6 miles of the pitch.

 

[Prince EWS]

India have to be favourites now. Just Ravi and the tail to come after these two and Stokes hardly inspires much confidence either.

 

[Furball]

Someone give Dhoni a copy of the lbw law for him to read between now and Sunday please.

Ahh sorry missed that one.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

A contest on the pitch is so good to see. I seldom watch LOIs (esp. after that 434/438 mishap), but hopefully this one should be a good viewing experience!

 

[grecian]

Well, TBF most of us wanted to see Stokes in a pressure situation, so we'll see it, would still rather have Buttler.

 

[MW1304]

Big moment for Stokes here - we can't afford to leave this to the tail.

 

[hazsa19]

Why isn't KP playing?

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

Clubbing your way out of pressure??? Not on, young lad.

 

[Furball]

Dhoni should cop a fine for excessive appealing, it's getting beyond ridiculous now.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha I don't really think Buttler's the man for this particularly situation; Taylor is the man I'd have the most confidence in.

Most of these are pretty close tbf.

 

[Jono]

The first one was very close, and especially since it could have been argued that he wasn't playing a shot.

Overreaction.

 

[Furball]

Most of these are pretty close tbf.

Ashwin's ball first up to Stokes was tight, the rest of them weren't remotely close to hitting the batsman in line.
