England (337/4) defeat India (336/6) by 6 wickets to win 2nd ODI - Series level at 1-1

[Rajdeep]

We batted well but truth is this is England's second string bowling attack.

 

[Rana]

India should aim for 400 here!

 

[Ab Fan]

Pant and Pandya flaying with Curran..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

If you didnt know these players hold an English passport and you met them somewhere, you would think:

Morgan is definitely Irish
Currans are definitely South Africans
Malan is definitely a South African
Archer is definitely a West Indian
Jordan is definitely a West Indian
Roy is definitely a South African

Come at me again if anyone disagrees. They are not 'English'.

And Stokes is New Zealander

 

[Devadwal]

Why butler unhappy its was a clear wide ball

 

[Bilal7]

If you are just fielding players out there for the sake of it, not sure why Saqib Mahmood cant play as the rotational bowler who needs more exposure. He is a more potent bowler than these Curran bros at least!

Mahmood was scheduled to be playing the PSL. You're right though, he should have been here. The guy has great potential, especially in the shorter formats.

 

[Rana]

And Stokes is New Zealander

He kind of gets away with it. He went to school early in England, but he is borderline tbh.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Do these Curran brothers play in IPL?

 

[Devadwal]

India should aim for 400 here!

Lol 340 max India can score here

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I am pretty sure Ryan Sidebottom who was playing in that Road Safety Series few days ago would have bowled better than Sam Curran here.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Do these Curran brothers play in IPL?

Sam Curran Chennai and Tom RCB.. i believe??

 

[Rana]

Why butler unhappy its was a clear wide ball

Butler is a proper sulk. He is often painted as this heroic cricketer due to his aggressive nature but the guy is always sulking behind the stumps for sure!

 

[Hitman]

Another one handed SIX by Pant

 

[MP2011]

1 more one-handed six from Pant.

 

[Bilal7]

The onslaught right now shows what a good spell of bowling that was from Moeen...

Exactly.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

highest score in ODI for Pant.

 

[Rana]

The Curran Bros, a clear example of privilege.

Love seeing these two getting mullered!

 

[Hitman]

Another SIX by Hardik.

 

[Ab Fan]

The three "Next Big Things" showing how it is done. Absolute flaying of the bowling attack.

KL Rahul
Rishabh Pant
Hardik Pandya

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

These English bowlers should take tips from Shadul and improve themselves.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Saqib Mahmood also looks average.. he would have been murdered on these flat pitches as well..
England pace bowling in LOIs is rubbish apart from Archer and Wood.

 

[Bilal7]

I am pretty sure Ryan Sidebottom who was playing in that Road Safety Series few days ago would have bowled better than Sam Curran here.

They've been nothing but mediocre anytime I've watched them.

 

[globalcitizen]

Pant is a serious slogger at backend of innings and commiserations to those who think u can score at breakneck speed with technique in final overs

 

[Rajdeep]

That is not out

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Another review. This is going to be controversial as well.

 

[MP2011]

Pant gone.

 

[Bilal7]

The tullay baaz really laying into the Currans.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Was that out?

 

[Rana]

Saqib Mahmood also looks average.. he would have been murdered on these flat pitches as well..
England pace bowling in LOIs is rubbish apart from Archer and Wood.

He doesnt look as good as Archer, Wood, Plunkett, Woakes but he isnt any worse than the Currans, Stokes and Topley lol

Topley is a specialist T20 bowler actually

 

[JattMaula]

That is not out

Out

 

[Rajdeep]

The Curran Bros, a clear example of privilege.

Love seeing these two getting mullered!

What is the name of the seamer who made his debut in 2nd test? He looked really good and was bowling phaast. Eng should have included him rather than trundlers like Curran.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Lol buttler drops Pandya

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Curran brothers vs Pandya Brothers..
Last time i saw something like this was Whittal bros of Zim vs Waugh Bros of Australia.

 

[Thanos]

Was that out?

Looking at Roy's reaction I thought he dropped it. Seems like he was disappointed with his judgement but hold on to at the end.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Brothers of Destruction

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

He doesnt look as good as Archer, Wood, Plunkett, Woakes but he isnt any worse than the Currans, Stokes and Topley lol

Topley is a specialist T20 bowler actually

Well saw him in T20Is.. may be different in longer form. Lets see.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Curran brothers vs Pandya Brothers..
Last time i saw something like this was Whittal bros of Zim vs Waugh Bros of Australia.

There were also Strang brothers and Flower brothers in Zim.

 

[Rajdeep]

Pandya's off side game is not as strong as leg side. Yet Curran was serving on his pads suggests Eng didnt do any homework...lol

 

[the Great Khan]

They've been nothing but mediocre anytime I've watched them.

yes but they is talented and have nice blond hair, and their dad knows people

 

[Ahmed216]

What is the name of the seamer who made his debut in 2nd test? He looked really good and was bowling phaast. Eng should have included him rather than trundlers like Curran.

Stone

 

[Bilal7]

Buttler can't handle the responsibility and Stokes is too wild. Moeen should have been given the captaincy again.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

There were also Strang brothers and Flower brothers in Zim.

ah yes paul and bryan.. Remember Tendulkar took them apart in some final in UAE.. Simple times.

 

[Indiafan]

We batted well but truth is this is England's second string bowling attack.

We are missing Bumrah, Shami, etc too

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This topley guy is not conceding runs

 

[Devadwal]

340 looks unlikely now

 

[ex-q-zit]

If you didnt know these players hold an English passport and you met them somewhere, you would think:

Morgan is definitely Irish
Currans are definitely South Africans
Malan is definitely a South African
Archer is definitely a West Indian
Jordan is definitely a West Indian
Roy is definitely a South African

Come at me again if anyone disagrees. They are not 'English'.

You missed Moeen and Rashid

 

[Thanos]

India losing momentum.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Buttler can't handle the responsibility and Stokes is too wild. Moeen should have been given the captaincy again.

Moeen is an average player and will rightfully, never captain England in any form.

 

[Thanos]

Someone needs to tell Krunal not to play wide balls.

 

[Rajdeep]

Stone

Yes should have played him. Looked awesome.

 

[Rana]

You missed Moeen and Rashid

No I didn’t. They are English. They are as English as can be in accordance to the English environment provided to them since birth.

 

[ex-q-zit]

We batted well but truth is this is England's second string bowling attack.

Why do you keep shifting goal posts?

 

[globalcitizen]

Good bowling by topley

 

[Babbar]

This is England’s second strong bowlers but a champion team should be able to do better than this when its top bowlers are out injured.

India A-bowlers Bumrah, Shami, Jadeja are also not playing. and of course Australia trip.

 

[Titan24]

Not a single consistent 140 kph+ bowler in the Eng lineup today which is odd considering they are generally pretty good at managing their players for different roles. Yes bubble management and thus not being able to call someone in does make a difference as well in terms of managing squads.

 

[Bilal7]

Now the Pandya brothers are players that are extremely useful to have in LO cricket. Decent batsmen, decent bowlers and good fielders.

Also, is the younger Pandya the vice captain?

 

[Amjid Javed]

No matter the situation atleast 2 indian batsmen always step up when required in t20s or ODIs which means they will always put good totals on the board.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Someone needs to tell Krunal not to play wide balls.

He did it again

 

[Bilal7]

Moeen is an average player and will rightfully, never captain England in any form.

He already has, dummy.

 

[Rana]

Tom Curran 2-81

These would be Anderson’s figures after bowling 40 overs in a Test in Australia whilst the team goes for 650-5

 

[NeVerMind]

You missed Moeen and Rashid

Moeen and Rashid are born and bred in England so more English than the above list...

 

[Rajdeep]

Krunal, Jadeja, Axar, Sundar - 4 players fighting for that no 7 spin all rounder spot.

 

[Bilal7]

A huge difference in technique between Pant and the Pandyas. The latter will fire much more consistently, the former will fail more often than not.

 

[vermayath]

Why save Topleys over and finish Tom Currans quota?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Krunal, Jadeja, Axar, Sundar - 4 players fighting for that no 7 spin all rounder spot.

Axar and Krunal are trash. Out of Jaddu and Sundar currently I will choose Jaddu.

 

[Rajdeep]

Bilateral series with Pakistan cant come any sooner considering the team we have now

 

[Mesozoic]

We should have targetted 400+ against this hapless attack.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

He already has, dummy.

Calm down. it is just an opinion like yours. He will not captain again.
I will not get down to your level.. peace out.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bhuvi will be effective on this pitch.

 

[Devadwal]

Why topley not ball full over?

 

[Mesozoic]

Why did Topley bowl 8 and Curran 10?

 

[Thanos]

Okay so England saved Topley's overs and gave 10 overs to T Curran.

 

[JattMaula]

20-30 below par.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Why did Topley bowl 8 and Curran 10?

International quota.

 

[Devadwal]

337 .CT ki yad aa gyi

 

[Indiafan]

A huge difference in technique between Pant and the Pandyas. The latter will fire much more consistently, the former will fail more often than not.

It seems the other way around to me, Hardik just clears his feet every time, while Pant plays all around the ground and has a way bigger range of shots and a knack of picking gaps by prescision

 

[Rajdeep]

Supporting Eng today and want them to win just to ensure Sunday's game is not dead rubber.

 

[RajBan]

India short by 40 runs. The slow start is not helping.

 

[Nov15]

First 35 overs: 173/3. Last 15 overs: 163/3

Almost doubled the score

 

[Babbar]

Moeen and Rashid are born and bred in England so more English than the above list...

It will be interesting to have a match between Pakistan and British Pakistani XI. Won’t be surprised if British Pakistanis come out winners.
And the way things are going, even American Pakistani XI can also beat Pakistan in a decade.
