India are chasing today. England don't know what score to put up!

India are chasing today. England don't know what score to put up!

if it is the standard K pitch- tacky with plenty of help for spinners, ENG won't manage a big score.

 

[Pollack]

Pant should've been tried. Ajyinkya is TTF for odis

 

[Tekcirc]

if it is the standard K pitch- tacky with plenty of help for spinners, ENG won't manage a big score.

Its green pitch, I think similar to Ind-Pak T20 World Cup match. Expect a decent bat and ball game.

 

[Pollack]

I don't think it would be bowling pitch.Don't be fooled by grass.Spinners might have some assistance.that's always there for Eden.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

i don't remember national anthems in every ODI before... what's going on?

 

[FlickedOffHips]

ENG have just Moeen in their lineup. This is a pitch for Rashid.

 

[Rayyman]

Want to see Bumrah smashed. Good swing by Pandya though.

 

[Tekcirc]

ENG have just Moeen in their lineup. This is a pitch for Rashid.

Dude, its swinging great!! A lively pitch! I dont see spin coming into play.

 

[Tekcirc]

i don't remember national anthems in every ODI before... what's going on?

Its been going on for a couple of years now man!! Where were you?

 

[FlickedOffHips]

3 commies are too many in the box. 2 is the perfect number.

ENG have come out well after 5 overs.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Its been going on for a couple of years now man!! Where were you?

really? i guess i haven't been paying attention.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

IND ul not to have a wicket so far. still, good to see this kind of a pitch.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

300 + on this pitch will be hard to chase.

 

[RamLakhan]

300 + on this pitch will be hard to chase.

Even making 300 is not going to be easy! If England manage to do it (overcome the spinners and build the innings), then this is their match to lose!

 

[Pollack]

Don't know which match you people are watching.Its a good pitch to bat on.Little assistance is immaterial. I guess we are so much used to watching absolutely road.

 

[Tekcirc]

SirJadeja eclipsing ashwin in Odis, its good to see tussle between two good bowlers.

 

[Tekcirc]

Even making 300 is not going to be easy! If England manage to do it (overcome the spinners and build the innings), then this is their match to lose!

Yup, Pitch will be juiced up by the dew for the seamer at night!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Our bowling standards are quite woeful if Hardik Pamdya is opening the bowling these days. Quicks have wasted the new ball and let Roy score another quick half century on a deck with help for the seamers. Oh well! Some things never change!!!

 

[Pollack]

Sir has been excellent. How much I hope he could have been a better batsman as well.

 

[Pollack]

Chasing would be easier with dew here.If you are not gripping the ball well then pitch assistance would be useless.

 

[Pollack]

Dharmasena gets it right for a change

 

[Tekcirc]

Pandya is riding in because of his slog batting. With Bumrah and Bhuvi we have two top class pacers. We never had such a luxury. and Shami, Yadav on the sidelines. What happened to Varun Aaron??

 

[Tekcirc]

Bumrah is so unlucky today!

 

[Pollack]

Bumrah is not top class brother. Can you give me reason why you feel he is top class other than low sample set meaningless stats.Do you believe he can survive with only Yorkers to offer

 

[Tekcirc]

I dont understand why he gets so much flak. Even with the samll sample, he has performed well.

Everyone is a critic it seems.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol another 350+ score coming up.

 

[Pollack]

I dont understand why he gets so much flak. Even with the samll sample, he has performed well.

Everyone is a critic it seems.

OK let's see where he goes from here.

 

[Pollack]

Lol another 350+ score coming up.

I already said its still a good batting pitch just that we are used to seeing garbage pitches that a little assistance make us happy.

 

[Pollack]

Buttler and bairstow. This is going to be carnage towards the end with stokes remaining.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I already said its still a good batting pitch just that we are used to seeing garbage pitches that a little assistance make us happy.

This is not a flat deck at all. There was seam earlier on and a bit of turn as well. We simply don't have the bowlers to make use of it.

 

[Ankit007]

300 plus but not 350 today please......

 

[Pollack]

This is not a flat deck at all. There was seam earlier on and a bit of turn as well. We simply don't have the bowlers to make use of it.

Yes it wasn't flat. But it wasn't fast paced.The seam movement was dull.One can negotiate it like england did.Our bowlers did fine.

 

[Pollack]

Watch we chase it quite comfortably.

 

[Ankit007]

Pandya with another one. yeah...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Stokes needs to be choked here. Can do some real damage.

 

[street cricketer]

B.E.L.I.E.V.E. in Pandya. [MENTION=142783]Pollack[/MENTION] [MENTION=141520]troodon[/MENTION]

 

[Thomaskutty]

This is a much better audience than the rubbish Cuttack crowd that went dead silent on every Eng shot. Cuttack shouldn't be given any games.

 

[Pollack]

Stokes is the danger man here.

 

[Pollack]

B.E.L.I.E.V.E. in Pandya. [MENTION=142783]Pollack[/MENTION] [MENTION=141520]troodon[/MENTION]

I always believe in him

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Pandya the dangerman. Haha.

 

[Ankit007]

Pandya is ripping apart England lineup.. LOL... And he confirms his place for Champions trophy. India's anwar ali on fire..

 

[street cricketer]

B.E.L.I.E.V.E. in Pandya. [MENTION=142783]Pollack[/MENTION] [MENTION=141520]troodon[/MENTION]

I repeat.

 

[Pollack]

Lol good bouncer to Ali .Pandya on fire.

 

[street cricketer]

Pandya has mastered the art of getting batsmen out of ladoo deliveries.

 

[aniket1911]

Well well, pandya is bowling surprisingly good.

Wish he bless us with these kind of bowling more often.

 

[aniket1911]

Ali is embarrassingly bad against short pitch stuff.

 

[Ankit007]

I dont think England is making 300 runs now

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Comon poms score 320 at least. We don't want this to be a one sided affair

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Moeen's weakness against the short ball exposed again.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I am surprised at Pandyas performance though. Found seam movement and extra bounce. Has there been so e technical adjustments in his action?

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Lol.. Woakes bats better than Pakistani top order

 

[DHONI_FAN]

I am surprised at Pandyas performance though. Found seam movement and extra bounce. Has there been so e technical adjustments in his action?

Pandya's high arm action will always get him wkts on seaming pitches

 

[Pollack]

Pandya is a good bowler constantly improving. His ability to pick wickets on halwa balls is outstanding though. But he does ball good balls in between that's imp

 

[aniket1911]

Ubi est Yorkers bumrah.

 

[Pollack]

Lol sehwag not rating b Kumar on commentary.Pulling vvs legs

 

[Nikhil_cric]

And the carnage begins.

 

[aniket1911]

Bhuvi's last over was brilliant too but stokes was too smart to collect runs off it.

This over is even better.

 

[aniket1911]

What a utility player stokes is.

Amazing talent, hope he continues like this.

 

[Ankit007]

I would say our death bowling has been better than past....

 

[aniket1911]

Lmao! Top edge and ugly heaves going for six. Wonder how much confidence does this instill in the bowler.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Boomrah will make sure we chase in excess of 340

 

[aniket1911]

Hope the Target is within 320. Anything more will be tough ask here.

 

[Robbie]

Good last two balls by bumrah..Why can't he start his overs like this.
Always he waits untill he gets hit for more than ten runs to go from his initial deliveries and then making up for it

 

[Robbie]

England fast bowlers will be a handful in this pitch.

Seeing Pandya bowling doesn't fill me with hope for our openers

 

[Ankit007]

322 is chasable but this pitch is not like other tracks in this series....

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Chasing under lights in eden gardens is not easy... england seamers need to exploit the pitch conditions here..

 

[JattMaula]

On good pitches we slumped to 30/3. I fear we may not score 200 today!

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I agree with others. We could see a top order collapse today if we aint careful.

 

[Ankit007]

Final chance for Rahane to get into squad

 

[Ankit007]

 

[Gone]

There was an edge first ball, no appeal from england team. Ultra Edge confirms.

 

[Gone]

That six was beautiful from Rahul

 

[aniket1911]

There was daylight between bat and pad. That's unforgivable for a batsman who's supposed to be our best player against swing.

Anywho, the man in form in.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

thank God Rahane departs early. Now we can have Kohli century

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Chalo then.

Close Rahane's chapter.

He is a good test player.

 

[Pollack]

Hope its end for rahane in loi.

 

[Pollack]

India will chase this fairly easily.

 

[Gone]

Gone through this time, Rahane doesn't make use of his chance.
