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

[Big Mac]

That's damn good from Dhoni

 

[KingKhanWC]

Kohli a little confused out there.

Where is the spin?

 

[Big Mac]

And then legends like Rahat Ali and Mohammad amir became the face of trundling.

Hey, HEY, HEY!, HEY!

Leave The Rahat out of this

 

[Kashmirilion]

Thankfully the embarrassment ends today.

This is problem with us desi fans (Pak/india/) we over hype our teams with one good match and then we absolutely drill them in a bad match. When India destroyed England in first odi evryone was going gaga now everyone has become a wrist slitter. Likewise with our (pak) fans during the test series in England.

Trundlers who take out the top order in a final, can save their gas in the tanks for later.

Bring back Ishant Shamra!

 

[Oligochaetes]

Defender dhoni is still a master wicketkeeper

 

[Usman Chadda]

India's pace attack

 

[introvert]

Morgan has been absolutely disaster against wrist spin in this series so far.

 

[Madplayer]

Spin cam save India. There is turn for Chahal already. Kuldeep will be the threat.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Dangerman Kuldeep is into the attack.

Lets see if he can spin some magic.

 

[Usman Chadda]

England's innings finally begins

Sangakkara laying into Indian pacers. Brutal

 

[Hasan123]

India's key to victory is the spinners. Thakur and Pandaya as a seam attack won't win you games. They are missing Bumrah now.

I would be happy to lose with new faces who have talent.

What purpose it serves to see Dhoni bat like a Granny and Thakur (Don't know how he even made it this level) bowl like a teletubby? We have see this record play many times before. They are not going to improve. In Dhoni's case, its even worse.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Kuldeep has been negated in his first over.Should bowl a bit fuller.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Spin cam save India. There is turn for Chahal already. Kuldeep will be the threat.

According to [MENTION=76058]cricketjoshila[/MENTION] bhai we have the best pace attack because Bumrah is the number 1 ranked bowler. Please don't underestimate our fast bowlers.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Still backing Bhartis to pull this off at the last minute

 

[Hasan123]

If Shami isn't injured, he should have been in the squad.

 

[Usman Chadda]

If Shami isn't injured, he should have been in the squad.

When is Shami not injured

 

[Usman Chadda]

Morgan looks like a club level batter against quality spin. Literally

 

[Hasan123]

What a shot from Root.

 

[Hasan123]

When is Shami not injured

Very unfortunate.

 

[Hasan123]

Some turn for Kuldeep.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

If Shami isn't injured, he should have been in the squad.

Our world class bowling attack is only missing one bowler i.e Bumrah. Normally best bowling attack should have atleast 1 bowler as a backup and it's quality shouldn't go down when 1 bowler is injured.

 

[Syed1]

New theory: India deliberately trying to lose this match to bump up English morale before the test series and to get them to be overconfident

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Morgan looks like a club level batter against quality spin. Literally

Still remember how Rehman made a mess of his off peg during the 2011/2012 UAE tour (Abu Dhabi game)

That delivery literally ended his test career and he could never recover from that point on !!

 

[Usman Chadda]

"Kohli's got his grumpy face back on" - Ian Ward

Sangakkara proceeds to rip apart India's pacers again

 

[Hasan123]

Our world class bowling attack is only missing one bowler i.e Bumrah. Normally best bowling attack should have atleast 1 bowler as a backup and it's quality shouldn't go down when 1 bowler is injured.

Doesn't seem to be much experienced back. For the next series India should look to include 1 or 2 of the younger bowlers.

 

[KingKhanWC]

No real danger from the spinners so far.

England can win this at a canter barring any silly errors.

 

[Khan12]

Morgan is looking awful against spin as always.

 

[Hasan123]

Root returning to form just in time for the test series

 

[mak36]

Morgan is looking awful against spin as always.

He's supposed to be decent against spin...

 

[Hasan123]

Lol overthrows

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Doesn't seem to be much experienced back. For the next series India should look to include 1 or 2 of the younger bowlers.

That's not going to happen. For the next series we have another crop of useless trundlers.

 

[Hasan123]

England making this look easy now.

 

[Usman Chadda]

That's not going to happen. For the next series we have another crop of useless trundlers.

You have the best pace bowling attack in the world. Don't be disheartened

 

[Syed1]

If India do lose today does it effect their ranking?

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

If India do lose today does it effect their ranking?

No

 

[KingKhanWC]

Poor from Kohli, negative body langauge.

He should wait for a wicket to fall and then bring back his spinners.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

You have the best pace bowling attack in the world. Don't be disheartened

Yes we do. [MENTION=76058]cricketjoshila[/MENTION]

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

No

What Kanspiracy is this !!??

 

[Khan12]

He's supposed to be decent against spin...

At the moment it doesn't look like it. Though looking a little better now.

 

[Hasan123]

England can just see off this spinners and wait for the seamers to come back on. It's not a big score they are chasing.

 

[Thomaskutty]

Hopefully after this chastening defeat, selectors will ask the creaky wickie to retire instead of being a parasite in the team. We can wish..

Also, the little Raina trial should come to an end methinks. He looks a different player now.

 

[Usman Chadda]

When did England last lose an ODI series?

Please leave out the one off Scotland match

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Poor from Kohli, negative body langauge.

He should wait for a wicket to fall and then bring back his spinners.

When things don't go his way he displays that negative body language. I noticed that last year too after the first inning in the CT final.

 

[Syed1]

When did England last lose an ODI series?

Please leave out the one off Scotland match

Against SA in SA?

 

[Dingolfy]

When did England last lose an ODI series?

Please leave out the one off Scotland match

Against India in 2017.

 

[Justcrazy]

36 runs partnership here

 

[Dingolfy]

England batting beautifully.Shows why they are No.1 in ODIs.Only thing that can save India is a typical English collapse.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Root is class

 

[Hasan123]

Morgan isn't convincing versus spin but more than enough time to make up.

 

[KingKhanWC]

When things don't go his way he displays that negative body language. I noticed that last year too after the first inning in the CT final.

Less than 10 overs he was visibility frustrated and upset. This is a bad message to the team, telling them we are playing terrible in every way. Rich players thinking this game is over, wont then put in the 110% effort, which we can see now. The heads are down.

 

[Justcrazy]

England playing out spinners.

 

[Hasan123]

Raina into the attack LOL

 

[Madplayer]

Raina bowling well. Keeping it tight.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Raina will only solidify the partnership.

Needed to bring back a pacer really.

 

[Syed1]

India can't hope to win WC with this bowling attack

 

[Syed1]

Dat Morgan SR though

 

[Justcrazy]

119 . 2

India need a wicket quickly here.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Chahal back on after the drinks break.Morgan looking quite uncomfortable.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

India can't hope to win WC with this bowling attack

And the middle order too.

 

[Hasan123]

The spinners don't even look threatening.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Dat Morgan SR though

Emulating Dhoni.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Even from a Pak fan, it's sad to see Raina bowling in a decider when India have so much young talent.

 

[Justcrazy]

131 . 2

21 overs

England motoring along here

 

[KingKhanWC]

Isha seems to have a cold. Get well soon

 

[Khan12]

The female commentator sounds upset.

 

[Syed1]

India throwing in the towel by giving Raina a bowl. Seriously where are all the bowlers we were told this new India possesses.

 

[Hasan123]

Too easy.

 

[AFM]

Random question, but why do India have 3 stars on their jersey? They've won 2 World Cups, not 3

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

India throwing in the towel by giving Raina a bowl. Seriously where are all the bowlers we were told this new India possesses.

They are like Ache Din and Vikas

 

[Justcrazy]

Kuldeep not taking wickets has hurt India most here

 

[Hasan123]

India's main problem in batting is their middle order. In bowling their problem is who will get the wickets of Kuldeep and Chahal don't? Bumrah and Bhuvi best work is at the death and with the new ball.

Next year world cup is open. England are the favourites but even they have weakness. 1 thing is for certain this Indian team isn't invincible regardless of what the ranking tells us.

 

[mak36]

The female commentator sounds upset.

She played for England but throughout this whole series I swear she has secretly wanted India to win.

 

[Khan12]

How tall is this bowler?

 

[Khan12]

She played for England but throughout this whole series I swear she has secretly wanted India to win.

Yeah definitely you can tell from her tone lol.

 

[Madplayer]

How tall is this bowler?

About a foot and a half with the shoes it seems

 

[mak36]

More Pakistani fans following this thread than Indians.

 

[KingKhanWC]

This bowler is doing well, decent rhythm and good control

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Looking at his height and bowling, at first sight, I thought Kohli is bowling, and he's a FAAAAST bowler.

One serious question, How will this trundler even get a wicket?
