England [322/7] beat India [236] by 86 runs in the 2nd ODI to level the 3-match series 1-1

Man !! from waqar younis , denns lilee and imran khan wearing the headband to Ashoke dinda and this kaul guy .
Played India.
 
England is bowling death bowling from first over. Wide yorkers. Pitch has died down. Hardly any carry. May be timing will be harder now. 323 looks a decent total now. Ball is not coming on.
 
Jesus! I forgot about him..... *facepalm moment*

Kumar needs to improve his wicket taking ability, but his bowling the last 10 overs and his ER are exemplary. Given on the pattas he bowls in India, he has done an excellent job.
 
I think England will defend this. They are due a good performance with the ball, and India’s top order is due a failure.

I am putting my money on England making it 1-1.

Don't think England is that good. I bet they will loose a series against Afghanistan in a spinning track. Their batsmen can only score 350-400on a super flat track but a good batting unit can even chase that.
 
India are winning this series 3-0.

England are in need of a reality check. They won't win much with a one dimensional team.
 
It is still a quality attack because Yadav is brilliant and Chahal is very good. Considering England’s weakness against spin, any attack with a world class spinner will prove to be a handful against them.

A bowling attack of Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar, Yadav, Chahal and Pandya is the best in the world in my opinion.
Good attack capaable of delivering 70% of time but calling it best ...thats bit too much
 
Might be good for England to get this humbling before the WC, they can still regroup after this series.

Personally don't think they're going to win, at best they'll make the SFs.
 
Wow. Which idiot said that this team is favourite. If England have the top 3 batting, they certainly have the worst 3 bowling. They are behind Aus, NZ, Pak, SA, Ind and to some extent WI. Only better than BAN and Afghanistan
 
This is one of those pitch where batsmen have to gift his wicket away against seamers. Rashid might be slightly effective here
 
Should be easy century for dhawan and kohli on this pitch. Only if they decide to throw wicket then england has some chance.
 
Dhawan gone :out
Now this will get interesting and will be a real test for our middle order.
 
This is frustrating to see as dhawan always get good start and he throws it away. Had he converted his all starts of 30 - 40s to big scores he would have averaged 50+ easily now.

Kohli does not have that in his blood. But Dhawan has. He just did that. Even Rahul often throws his wicket away.
 
Test for India's middle order today now that openers have failed. But even if they are 9 down they can still win provided Kohli is there.
 
Absolutely trashy batting by Indians. Irresponsible . Good wake up call for them.

You can't expect india to chase 300 every other game. It's time that indian bowlers who are paid millions start taking responsibility and perform. Every other game they concede almost 300 runs.
 
Good bowling by England.Rahul flattered to deceive again.This is what I wanted.Let us see how Raina,Dhoni and Pandya handle this.That will give an idea how we will do in WC19

On a 300 pitch you should expect them to chase every time. This is definitely not a 250 pitch.
 
What's KL Rahul's ODI average right now? Can anyone besides [MENTION=146612]BlackShadow[/MENTION] tell me?
 
KL Rahul has done absolutely nothing to be clumped alongside the top 3
 
India is going to win this easily. England has to get kohli for less than 30 else its finished for them.
 
An Indian player with 'potential' deserves infinite hype. For any other country, the player has to have consistent performances

Yeah for some Babar still has to prove himself despite being the fastest in the world to 1000 runs, but KL Rahul is easily better than him due to 'potential'

Pandya has become the best all-rounder in the world on 'potential'. KL Rahul pe toh in bhaiyyon be halka haath rakkha hai phir bhi :))
 
Commentators just mentioned Broad told them that Kohli won't get a 50 in the Tests :broad

All the while camera was focused on Jimmy :jimmy

Rain has become a total hack. He used to be a gun finisher. Now he barely survives. Karthik is in much better form.
 
Raina is finished. He is struggling to hit spinners. Time to look ahead and give chance to some youngster.
 
game changing. Raina can smash it. atleast there is no comparison between butler vs dhoni keeper
