What's new

England [260/2] beat India [256/8] by eight wickets in the 3rd ODI to win the series 2-1

Lovely test match batting. I hope the Indian team doesnt lose any more wickets till lunch.
 
India will need to really go after the bowling soon to get 300, let alone 320. Dreadful start.

Is this a way to defend Dhoni? Let's all bat slow so no one can blame Dhoni
 
Clearly that hundred by Sharma was a fluke. Reality check for a mediocre batsman.
Mediocre batsmen dont have three double centuries.But they sure tuk-tuk against the likes of Zimbabwe C team bowling attack. :P
 
Sharma should have been given signal to hit out or get out after 10 deliveries.Sham innings.
 
One of these 2 needs to put their foot down. Don't see 250 being enough today.

This guy will say England and minnows and Zimbabwe are world beaters.
 
When Rohit and Dhawan were batting together, the pitch looked spicy.

It now looks flat.

Doubt it's not a 300 pitch, India will have to step it up after that disaster class by Rohit
 
England are well ahead at the moment. They will be confident of chasing whatever India set even without Roy and Hales.
 
And just like that India again have slightly respectable runrate... that is why you can never count out their top three despite how much pressure you put on them. You just need to send them back to the hut.


Unfortunately after top three there is nothing much to follow.

Watch out for Hardik Pandya. :inti
 
Gavasker and Ganguly consoling each other that 275 will be hard to chase on this surface
 
England need to dismiss Dhwaan asap. Maybe Rashid could be brought on. He may go for runs but he could pick up a wicket.
 
I know Karthik is the flavour of the month in India and is having a late resurgence in his career but from what I have seen off him over the years he is a very soft guy and would not perform on the big stage. Maybe my opinion is swayed because of his largely uneventful record against us.
 
India in supreme trouble, but Kohli is still there so there is hope

You are bang on.

Still deserves a spot ahead of Raina.

In an ideal world, we wouldn't see Karthik (too old, too inconsistent), Dhoni (over the hill) and Raina (become worse against short ball) in the squad.
 
Here Comes the Phenom,,, The Greatest Human to ever grace the planet Earth,,, Ladies and Gentlemen, This is going to be Epic.
 
Maybe Kohli or Sharma need to drop down to 4 or 5 to sure up the middle order. The decline in quality is pretty steep after top three and this might be the reason India may lose big matches.

Rohit Sharma will get exposed in the middle order.
 
Let's see how many balls dhoni takes to score a boundary... can he survive 25 balls without scoring one. Stay tuned for another episode of defender dhoni
 
Both Bhaijans bowling well and getting good bite from pitch.Should be interesting for Kuldeep and Chahal.
 
Dhoni chaacha really trying hard today. Hopefully he proves all his haters wrong.
 
Commentators afraid to criticise Dhoni. They know which side their bread is buttered :p.
