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

[jnaveen1980]

They should give retirement offer to Raina. One fairwell match.

 

[Justcrazy]

These two batting really well , getting India to a strong position from where they can launch final assault.

 

[LastManstanding]

Game over.

 

[Abdullah719]

Game over?

 

[introvert]

Mighty MO.

 

[babajee]

Kohli out.....

 

[Justcrazy]

Kohli gone , big wicket for England.

 

[JattMaula]

Kohli fails again.

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Till Kohli is there , nothing can be said.

He's out, but not even Kohli could have carried this middle order to a win chasing 322.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Dhoni and Raina batting together in 2018

 

[BlackShadow]

This has been a sad evening across all sports. No internet or social media for the next 48 hours.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That's it. We are done for the match.

 

[LastManstanding]

Oh well, dhoni is here, time to switch off the TV and tune back at 40th over.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I blame bowlers and KL Rahul if we lose this.

 

[babajee]

Kohli fails again.

Kohli has been mediocre since South Africa.

 

[JattMaula]

Kohli has been mediocre since South Africa.

He has been mediocre since he picked up a bat.

 

[JaDed]

Class waste , Kohli has lost his motivation?
KL Rahul as usual.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

He has been mediocre since he picked up a bat.

Lol really?

 

[KingKhanWC]

I thought I'd tune in for the 20th time to see MS Dhoni pass 10,000 ODI runs. Surely today.

 

[kuskash]

He has been mediocre since he picked up a bat.

Good one

 

[gazza619]

Dhoni looks 15 years older than his real age

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dhoni building a foundation.

 

[gazza619]

Kohli has been mediocre since South Africa.

It was a good ball, credit to Saqlain (or Moeen Ali)

 

[jnaveen1980]

Damn moeen ali of all the people is putting the squeeze. All thanks to Raina.

 

[Madplayer]

Dhoni building a foundation.

For England's win

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

What are these two upto? Can't bat against these nothing spinners. It's a shame to even call these 2 as spinners and our IPL stars are struggling, when they should be so good against spin

 

[Dingolfy]

Exactly what I wanted.Putting middle order to test.Thanks England.No false dawns like what you did before CT17.Boom or bust for Raina and Dhoni.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Pakistani spinners in total control

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Good one

Lol really?

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is over 8.5 now.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

If Dhoni can't win India the match today he should retire immediately.

 

[Dingolfy]

On Hindsight, Morgan was right.Pitch has deteriorated in the second innings.Good catch.

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhoni and Raina won so many tight chase for India , they need to pull this one .

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Dhoni can't win India the match today he should retire immediately.

I bet my house he can't win it. He needs inform Yuvraj singh to pull off a win

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Exactly what I wanted.Putting middle order to test.Thanks England.No false dawns like what you did before CT17.Boom or bust for Raina and Dhoni.

Dhoni will play next year too. You are giving yourself false hopes.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Parntership of 13 @ RR 3.39, nice and solid batting.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Risabh pant type of innings is needed.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Dhoni and Raina won so many tight chase for India , they need to pull this one .

This is not 2006. And raina goes...

 

[babajee]

Inshallah Sobers wins it for India.

 

[jnaveen1980]

For commercial reasons they want to take it to last match? i mean this is almost like they don't want to win the match.

 

[InziRules]

Ali has been very good here.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Pakistsani leggie strikes.

Raina departs after a well made 46

 

[Justcrazy]

Raina gone

 

[Oligochaetes]

If Rohit & Dhawan fail....India loses.

Kohli isn't the gun chaser anymore

Others are meh...

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Let's hope Pandya plays Kapil Dev(175* against Zim in 1983) type of innings here and win India the match.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kick Raina out. Karthik in.

 

[JattMaula]

Lol really?

Yes. What has he won for us?

 

[Dingolfy]

Dhoni will play next year too. You are giving yourself false hopes.

Raina can be replaced though.

 

[Usman Chadda]

For commercial reasons they want to take it to last match? i mean this is almost like they don't want to win the match.

I'm sure that's the only reason India is losing this match. Although, it might have something to do with your trash middle-order once the top 3 fail?

 

[mkyawar]

Match is on Pandya. I think England might need to ring a pacer. Pandya can be lethal against spinners

 

[Square Drive]

Sad to see the most complete team getting humiliated like this.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Raina can be replaced though.

Will be replaced with Jadhav or Pandey. I think Raina is better.

 

[battler]

Let's see what Sobers can do

 

[Justcrazy]

It will be interesting to see how Pandaya plays here

 

[King Kong]

Moeen vs Pandya should be fun!

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Boom or bust for Raina and Dhoni.

We all know Dhoni is playing the World Cup unless he takes voluntary retirement.

 

[Sam99]

Dhoni looks 15 years older than his real age

Sachin, Dravid & Ganguly looks younger compared to him.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Time to pack up for the day... I am tired after watching the Djoker Nadal marathon.

I have no interest in watching Defender Dhoni and Panting Pandya.

 

[dauntless]

moeen Ali is shaping out to be a decent spinner for England. He was excellent against Australia.

 

[King Kong]

Dhoni 6(15)
Pandya 6(5)

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dhoni easily plays out another Ali over.

 

[Justcrazy]

Spinners are bowling well.

 

[Varun]

Surely we're not going to lose like this. No intent. Like a metronome falling from a tall tower.

 

[Madplayer]

Sachin, Dravid & Ganguly looks younger compared to him.

Dhoni has probably done a ghapla in his date of birth certificate.

 

[jnaveen1980]

When you get old even your strength becomes your weakness. Both used to be very good against spin. Now can't buy a run against spin. Dhoni had problems in the IPL as well against spinners.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Dhoni has probably done a ghapla in his date of birth certificate.

MS Dhoni - The Untold Story

 

[Varun]

Dhoni has probably done a ghapla in his date of birth certificate.

Or he has been in the most difficult job in world cricket for close to a decade's worth - 2007-2016.

 

[Madplayer]

MS Dhoni - The Untold Story

MS Dhoni - the wrongly told story

 

[Madplayer]

Or he has been in the most difficult job in world cricket for close to a decade's worth - 2007-2016.

Ganguly also did the same job didnt he? And tendulkar had to carry the burden of bigger expectations than anyone else.

 

[Kaptan]

Kohli and Raina just sucked all the momentum from the chase. Scored only 2-3 boundaries in 9 or 10 overs I think.
Since, its Kohli no one will say anything.

 

[KingKhanWC]

RR nearly 10 but Dhoni knows this is minor atm.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pandya not playing his natural game here , required rate closing on 10.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Another over cleverly negotiated by Dhoni. The spinners cant get past such a wall.

 

[Kaptan]

Lol required run rate over 10 and Dhoni is tuk tuking.

 

[dauntless]

Dhoni uncle tried but missed.

 

[KingKhanWC]

The great Moeen Ali has finished his overs.

Now we will see Dhoni power.

 

[Thomaskutty]

Dhoni embarrassing himself yet again..

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhoni is trying to take the game into last 7 - 8 overs before hitting out

 

[dauntless]

dhoni uncle hunn oh gal ni rahi. O Mousam aur hunde si aalam aur hunda si.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Just need to play out the genius Rashid and Dhoni will free his arms
