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

[dauntless]

anything over 270 would be really difficult for England. Kuldeep is going to have a very good once again

 

[Nelson on]

Another century coming up for kohli

 

[dauntless]

world class fielders these guys.

 

[Sam99]

Grandpa Dhoni to score a century at over 100 S/R and prove haters like me wrong

and i would still drop him for next series (if i was selector).

 

[mkyawar]

what rubbish from moeen

 

[Sam99]

Can kohli score his first 200 today?

 

[Oligochaetes]

What a champ Kohli is...seriously.. single handedly carrying this team today. If England dont get him soon, it might get bothersome.

 

[mkyawar]

India will score close to 300. Kuldeep and Chahal will be licking their lips on this pitch

 

[troodon]

Granpa Precious seems to be in attacking mood today. But still only 12(19)

 

[troodon]

Kohli gone.

License to go Full on Tuk Tuk

 

[Oligochaetes]

GAME OVER! Kamboom!
Time to turn off the television...

 

[Boi]

Absolute ripper from rashid.

 

[dauntless]

Oh yaar. Really wanted him to score century.

 

[babajee]

There’s something about Kohli, centuries and England

 

[Sam99]

Kohli looks clueless at that

 

[mkyawar]

Kohli surprised but kuldeep will be licking his lips

 

[Sam99]

There’s something about Kohli, centuries and England

He already has one in 2011.

 

[Big Mac]

rofl at Ward saying "recreated the Gatting ball"

What a load of nonsense )

 

[troodon]

Watch MSD leave all the slogging and scoring to Raina and Hardik while he tuk tuk's his way to another not out.

 

[Dingolfy]

What a delivery from Rashid Bhaijan! Game on this pitch if India could score 250 plus.

 

[BreadPakoda]

There’s something about Kohli, centuries and England

What? That he has one unlike Inzi in SA (or maybe even Australia)?

 

[mak36]

There’s something about Kohli, centuries and England

You were saying?

 

[Mp812]

Dhoni has a chance today after kohli is bowled.....to shut up critics by scoring 80 -100 runs and taking score to 280 or 300 close by .... or draft a resignation/ retirement letter

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Raina

 

[Boi]

Rashid running through India now

 

[Syed1]

Bye bye Raina

 

[dauntless]

LOL this pitch is turning miles.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

India is struggling against spin - Naser Hussain

 

[Amirforpresident]

There was nothing Kohli could have done about that ball.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bye bye Raina

Please welcome Hardik Sobers Pandya.

 

[Syed1]

Simple recipe to beat India. Get through the top three somehow and then its game over.


I doubt any other major side has such a glaring weakness. Need to fix it before WC or the team is in for a rude awakening.

 

[dauntless]

5-er is coming up for kuldeep

 

[troodon]

Indian batting in disarray.

I am sad, but I am also enjoying this phainty to this Kohli's favorite XI.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Dhoni has a chance today after kohli is bowled.....to shut up critics by scoring 80 -100 runs and taking score to 280 or 300 close by .... or draft a resignation/ retirement letter

He is gone too.

 

[Boi]

Dhoni gone now too!

Gets away with it!

 

[mkyawar]

I feel this will be a close match. Do not forget , there is no jason roy and england will have to feel Kuldeep, Chahal and Bhuvi. This might be a thriller. People who are saying game over will get a reality check

 

[Rahul1]

Mashallah

 

[dauntless]

oh waah kya baat hai. Dhoni chaacha ka din hai aaj

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Yeah anything can happen, but for that to happen India has to somehow get to 250 minimum. At the moment they are 162/5 after 32 overs with the last recognized pair at the crease.

This issue was known since 2015 WC. But neither selectors nor the coach ever addressed it. They stuck to useless pool of players like Rahane, Dhoni, Pandey etc.

It will be a miracle if India goes to semis in 2019 WC with this squad.

 

[troodon]

Dhoni has baba black magic on his side

 

[Rahul1]

Yesss. Now this grandpa will tuk till 50th over and get exposed even more.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Bhuvi is a better batsman in such situations than the entire middle order..

 

[classic]

Pandaya is the key batsman to get out for me ..

 

[dauntless]

Lucky runs for India here

 

[Shafi]

I think 220 will be safe total. If Rashid can do well imagine what Indian spinners will do to England. Vince is a walking wicket

 

[asadee]

Why isnt Hales playing?

 

[babajee]

He already has one in 2011.

Yes but he has not been able to add to that despite coming here quite a few times now.

 

[Dingolfy]

Great bowling by Rashid.India has to survive his two more overs if they want to win this.

 

[dauntless]

moeen has been quite unlucky today. He has been bowling well and created opportunities but could not able to get a wicket.

 

[lehen]

I think 220 will be safe total. If Rashid can do well imagine what Indian spinners will do to England. Vince is a walking wicket

320 you mean, there is nothing menacing in the pitch. little bit of turn but a belter none the less

 

[mak36]

There was nothing Kohli could have done about that ball.

He made it look better than it was.

Even after he had left, umpires did their best to bring him back.

 

[troodon]

I think 220 will be safe total. If Rashid can do well imagine what Indian spinners will do to England. Vince is a walking wicket

This is a 300 pitch at least.

 

[mak36]

Pretty much.

 

[mak36]

Morgan deserves credit for putting in a leg slip Raina- excellent captaincy.

 

[Mahee]

advance congratulations to England on series win

 

[dauntless]

India crawling to 250 which is going to be a winning total

 

[Syed1]

Morgan deserves credit for putting in a leg slip Raina- excellent captaincy.

It's pretty shoddy captaincy now to continue with spinners when Pandya feasts on them and struggles against pace.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Dhoni's strike rate lol

 

[austerlitz]

Dhoni killing the game again.

 

[Syed1]

It's pretty shoddy captaincy now to continue with spinners when Pandya feasts on them and struggles against pace.

Apka bhai bhi koi kum captain nahi hai.... just as I said. Pace comes on and Pandya departs

 

[BreadPakoda]

Expecting certain posters to be back as Pandya has been dismissed.

[MENTION=143344]babajee[/MENTION] your presence is being requested

 

[mkyawar]

England will miss Jason Roy. James Vince is a walking wicket. Can expect him getting bowled or either caught in the slips by bhuvi

 

[Amirforpresident]

Good delivery from Wood.
Yadav, Chahal and Kumar will be a handfull on this wicket.

 

[BreadPakoda]

[MENTION=143344]babajee[/MENTION] your presence is being requested

[troodon]

Pandya gone. No hope of reaching 275 now.

Will MSD hide behind BK to score runs again?

 

[mak36]

Apka bhai bhi koi kum captain nahi hai.... just as I said. Pace comes on and Pandya departs

Just came here to credit you, but it appears you have already taken care of that too .

 

[troodon]

Dhoni 27(47) )

Expecting MSD fans to tell us that he had no choice but to do play timid

 

[mak36]

He is in excellent form.

Garbage knock by Sobers

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Even Ashwin can score these 15-20 runs without any effort.

 

[troodon]

Garbage knock by Sobers

He at least scored a run a ball 21.

 

[troodon]

Even Ashwin can score these 15-20 runs without any effort.

Can he slog like Pandya did 3 innings ago? Pandya scored like 30 runs in 9 balls. Ashwin cannot do it even if I bowl.

Pandya played a decent innings today. 21(21) is a pretty decent effort.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Pandya should be given achance a at no. 5

 

[Syed1]

Pretty poor batting this from Dhoni... dead batting in 42nd over

 

[troodon]

Dhoni must be wishing he had gotten out when he reviewed

Would have spared us from the torture of watching him bat.
