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

[Justcrazy]

Plunkettt into attack now.

 

[Kaptan]

Good captaining by Morgan. He knows pitch is turning and India is struggling so he bowls Rasid and Moeen for 20 overs straight.
In similar situations Kohli would have replaced Kuldeep with Kaul. )

 

[gani999]

Batting first and putting a 300+ score on the board is the only way India can be beaten in an ODI. Pak showed it in the CT final. Others will follow.

 

[Justcrazy]

Plunkett strikes.

 

[KingKhanWC]

No need to take risks against the pace of Plunkett. Well kept out Dhoni.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Sobers gone

 

[JattMaula]

Dhoni didn't even try.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Batting first and putting a 300+ score on the board is the only way India can be beaten in an ODI. Pak showed it in the CT final. Others will follow.

That's what India have been doing in big matches. The batting always clicks and makes job easier for bowlers.

 

[babajee]

Sobers

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Indian tail starts at MSD

Last 4 can't even hold bat.

 

[Madplayer]

Sober pandu out. Dhoni too busy admiring his salt and pepper look that he forgot he has runs to chase.

 

[Justcrazy]

Indian ship sinking fast here

 

[InziRules]

That might well be it for India. Pandya could have cut loose. Abhishek: "Wonder if people criticising MS have not been watching him for last 15 years...he is the best finisher and finish he will...Go MSD!!!" Umesh Yadav walks out at No. 8



Wonder if this guy on Cricinfo has seen Dhoni for the last 2 years

 

[The_Odd_One]

India may have the weakest batting after top 3 who are absolutely world class.

 

[Thomaskutty]

No need to take risks against the pace of Plunkett. Well kept out Dhoni.

Uncle dhoni's transformation from indian Bevan to indian Shahid afridi in recent years, has been sad to watch.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Indian batting is ridiculously top heavy.

 

[dauntless]

Dhoni chacha time aa gya paai hunn tera. Alvidha.He should be kicked out.

 

[mkyawar]

This is the problem for India. None of their bowlers including bumrah, chahal, kuldeep and bhuvi are more than decent. I heard that bhuvi and kuldeep can bat?

 

[Adijazz1706]

Uncle dhoni's transformation from indian Bevan to indian Shahid afridi in recent years, has been sad to watch.

Afridi was a lot of things but a tuktuk loser he was not, you're thinking of Misbah there

 

[Madplayer]

Uncle dhoni's transformation from indian Bevan to indian Shahid afridi in recent years, has been sad to watch.

When did you see Shahid afridi batting at 40 strike rate in ODIs?

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Uncle dhoni's transformation from indian Bevan to indian Shahid afridi in recent years, has been sad to watch.

Afridi atleast doesn't waste these many deliveries

Now he'll hit a few boundaries and end up with decent strike rate.

 

[Mainul]

Suddenly India is looking ordinery....Cricket is such a wonderful game

 

[enkidu_]

Dhoni is 10 runs away from 10 000 ODI runs.

 

[InziRules]

Lol, even Misbah was better than this recent Dhoni

 

[Sadevdesai]

India ....... not today !!!!!!!!

 

[Kaptan]

Dhoni mere bhai retire kr ja.
Jo batchi kutchi izzat hai usko samet le aur cricket ko tata bye bye bol de.

 

[babajee]

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

Is this a lucky fluke by England or a shameful humiliation for India

 

[The_Odd_One]

Someone tell Dhoni that it's 42nd over and not 25th.

 

[Kaptan]

What is Dhoni trying to do ? He is not even trying.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dhoni is 10 runs away from 10 000 ODI runs.

Only 3 now, people arent seeing this bigger picture.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Over 15 rpo now and Dhoni still showing no intent of playing big shots

 

[KingKhanWC]

MS reach 10,000 in style.

What a player.

 

[Slim]

Uncle dhoni's transformation from indian Bevan to indian Shahid afridi in recent years, has been sad to watch.

Can you lot make a comment by not bringing a Pakistani into the mix? Shameless stuff.

 

[Madplayer]

Dhoni might hit a few now that he has got dus hazaar runs.

 

[Madplayer]

Is this a lucky fluke by England or a shameful humiliation for India

Its a flukey humiliation for India.

 

[Mainul]

Dhoni is following his bora Vai Sachin.Just playing for his own record,not for country.Sachin played one and half years more than he should have been.Lets see to what extent MSD prolongs his career.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Is Yadav any good with the bat, like Shadab?

 

[Slim]

Is this a lucky fluke by England or a shameful humiliation for India

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] the fluke expert is going to be in a tough catch for his two favorite teams.

 

[enkidu_]

Is Yadav any good with the bat, like Shadab?

just looked at the stats, and Kuldeep can definitely hold a bat : +20 of average in FC, one 100 and five 50s as well, but not on the Shadab level I guess, at least as of now (don't think Shadab was first hailed as an all rounder either ?)

 

[Hasan123]

Easy win for England here. Series decider set up.

 

[Varun]

This game is over.

It's like watching a dying zebra.

 

[Syed1]

Is this a lucky fluke by England or a shameful humiliation for India

Depends on which set of fans feel like running with tail between their legs

 

[Madplayer]

He was.

 

[KingKhanWC]

its important to bat the 50 overs which will not allow England to feel confident going forward.

 

[Syed1]

India's chances of being number one side go up in flames

 

[Syed1]

Shadab batted at number three for u19 side

No need to worry then with an explosive all rounder in with MS.

 

[enkidu_]

He was.

Shadab batted at number three for u19 side

Thanks for the correction, I've been oblivious to that.

 

[pakistani pride]

Dhoni didn't even try.

What are they doing? No intent at all.

 

[KingKhanWC]

20RR is not impossible in the modern era

 

[mkyawar]

The lady in the commie saying that these 2 sides might play each other again 1 year from now in the final. Naser jumps in and says watch Pakistan sneak in and win it. Still can not forget that everyone was saying it would be india vs england in CT. Pakistan smashed the living daylight out of both

 

[KingKhanWC]

Yadav playing himself in nicely for a final assault later on.

 

[Dios]

Dhoni putting the crowd to sleep.

 

[asadee]

What a boring match

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Wow. English people are leaving the stadium.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Remaining not out isnt any easy task, sensible from the 10k man.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wish that Belgium/ England match had gone over time

 

[jnaveen1980]

Crowd is booing Dhoni big time. He is killing the beautiful game of cricket.

 

[Varun]

Crowd booing now.

He deserves it.

 

[Varun]

And Kuldeep must be making some sort of record for playing and missing that many times.

 

[KingKhanWC]

4 overs to get 13 runs will bring up a half century for the world cup winning captain. Walk in the park

 

[On_the_up]

Dhoni playing for a red inker.

 

[asadee]

Barey mian OuT

 

[jnaveen1980]

He has big ego. Now that crowd has booed him. He will be trying to irritate them even more.

 

[Justcrazy]

dhoni gone

 

[KingKhanWC]

Its important for Yadav to give the strike to Dhoni, no need to be a hero when a legend is with you.

 

[enkidu_]

noooo wanted him to get a 50

 

[The_Odd_One]

Lol Dhoni and Kohli's face in the dressing room

 

[KingKhanWC]

Wounded

Unlucky MS but you will be back sir!

 

[Madplayer]

Chances of India winning rhis game go up by a 1000 points

 

[Syed1]

Girtay hein shahshawar hi maidaan-e-jang mein

Woh tifl kya giray jo ghutnoo ke bal chalay




Well played MSD... Fighting till the end while kal kay bachay Rahul got ducks.

 

[mkyawar]

Im sure India will come hard. They always win the decider. Plus this could be to do the commercial interest. I am sure Kohli will give a thrashing to his bowlers and batsman. Expect Bhuvi to come back especially due to his bowling which will help him in headingly and batting keeping in mind the poor batting tail of india

 

[jnaveen1980]

They did the same in T20. losing 2nd and winning 3rd.

 

[mak36]

Congrats to India on winning the series. There is grass on the wicket and Wiley could have moved the bowl. I expect India to chase this within 40 overs. Englands only chance was to put india in and restrict them within 300. Have never seen Kohli so happy as he clearly said that I wish I did not come for the toss

England won the toss and will bat first.
Wanted India to bat first, now KulCha will again bowl them out under 300 and our top order will chase it.
Our middle order is not getting match practice.

One of the worst decisions. Early morning start is the only chance for England bowlers to strike. Umesh and Sidharth Kaul will definitely trouble as Englands focus is on Kuldeep

Haha bat first ☺

Thank you England.

Humble pie anyone?

 

[enkidu_]

India should score 6 runs at least they'll not lose by 100 runs, it's very symbolic and psychological IMO.

 

[90MPH]

Really strange chase by India.

Some of them had a don’t care attitude.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Chahal should block this out, he is no mug with the bat.

Only 3 overs for the draw.

 

[KingKhanWC]

India should score 6 runs at least they'll not lose by 100 runs, it's very symbolic and psychological IMO.

Or give your wicket to Willey, it's vital Plunkett doesnt get a michelle here.

 

[Kroll]

Dhoni only interested in getting his 10k runs today.

 

[Mamoon]

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.

Expert opinion will always be expert opinion. Nothing can buy expertise.
