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

[ex-q-zit]

Disagree. Despite scoring 100-odd, he still couldn't score at 6 rpo. That's downright poor!

He came in to bat when we were 2 wickets down at around 40. Both he and Kohli had to start a rebuilding process. If he or Kohli would have got out before team score 100 we wouldnt even have got 300. He got into his 90s with a 6. He was doing alright at run a ball. But what was wrong was not able to core a quickfire 40 after his century like he did in IPL last year.

 

[PakPremi]

Still not easy for England with 3 economical overs from Bhuvi to come, unless others continue get mauled.

 

[BreadPakoda]

If I was captain I would have kept Ashwin in my OD squad.

Though his batting is not suited for white ball , yet I would have played him in crucial games.

Disagree. Ashwin has improved as a test cricketer by staying away from the ODI and T20I run fests.

 

[Mesozoic]

You've got to tip your hats off to these guys. This is just phenomenal hitting.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Still not easy for England with 3 economical overs from Bhuvi to come, unless others continue get mauled.

England will win easily. Easily one of the best LOI batting line ups ever.

 

[MP2011]

If I was captain I would have kept Ashwin in my OD squad.

Though his batting is not suited for white ball , yet I would have played him in crucial games.

Its still far better than what KulCha offer with bat.

 

[Justcrazy]

SIX SIX

solid hitting here

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

3 sixes in a row by Stokes.

 

[Rana]

Kuldeep’s career ending before our eyes

 

[BreadPakoda]

That's the end of Kuli. As I said earlier, a bowler cannot be so dependent on "confidence".

 

[MP2011]

3 6s in row from Stokes off Kuldeep.

 

[Cric1234]

Kuldeeps ODI career being ended England should be 2-0 up.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Kuldeep’s career ending before our eyes

He's been given a game or two extra based on public demand.

 

[RamLakhan]

What a feel to keep bowling Kuldeep! If Pandya can't bowl, then at least Rohit should have bowled a over to see if it changed...

 

[James]

Cringe from Kuldeep

 

[Thanos]

This Kuldeep over giving me feel of 3 hour movie which is just not getting over.

 

[MP2011]

Another big problem for us is not being able to take wickets upfront. That has hurt us really badly in ODIs.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is only the 8th instance of a team scoring century partnerships for the first two wickets vs India

https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/e...w_hundreds;size=200;template=results;type=fow

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This could be Kuldeep's last match.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Kuldeeps ODI career being ended England should be 2-0 up.

Yes, deduct one Indian win and give it to England because a bowler is being smashed. New rules by ICC.

 

[Rana]

Welcome to league cricket next year Kuldeep bhai, I’m sure many clubs would love to have him as an overseas pro

 

[Rana]

Amazing how the Indian think tank spent 5 minutes discussing whether Kuldeep should bowl the next over before handing it to him

 

[Titan24]

Kuldeep's inability to ball at a faster pace is really seeing his career go down in white ball cricket and he hasnt improved that since his debut as well. Only time he can increase his pace is when he bowls a flatter one. His stock balls are generally low 80s and sometimes high 70s. When all you variations have been decoded by other teams then such a pace is rarely going to work.

 

[Tubs]

Brutal by Stokes, jeez.

Also, Karthik is a fantastic commentator.

 

[MP2011]

This chase has been made into a joke.

 

[Justcrazy]

Less than run a ball required here

 

[BreadPakoda]

Welcome to league cricket next year Kuldeep bhai, I’m sure many clubs would love to have him as an overseas pro

KKR has made some poor investments but they saw Kuli's deficiencies from miles away. People who criticized them for not giving him enough chances were wrong.

 

[Cric1234]

Yes, deduct one Indian win and give it to England because a bowler is being smashed. New rules by ICC.

Collapsed England have been the better team in the 2 matches.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I quoted correctly! Do you want him to bowl? I don't think you rate his bowling anyway!

Once again that is not the answer of my question. I was asking generally. Is he injured or what? But it seems you are in a mood to troll.

 

[Rana]

What are Indians doing here? It’s like they have gone back to the 70s with this pathetic bowling

 

[James]

Stokes in top gear now.

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Krunal getting destroyed by Stokes.

 

[saeed5646]

India missing jadeja .Sorry but k.pandya bowling is atrocious

 

[Justcrazy]

England now playing without fear , going after everything

 

[BreadPakoda]

Collapsed England have been the better team in the 2 matches.

India won the first game by 66 runs. England were not better.

 

[rhony]

Massacre!! I think Kuldeep will be out of the team for a while. Krunal's bowling is bad as we already know. Indians were probably 30 runs short too

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Played England.

 

[Rana]

Kuldeep drops a tough chance also

He is being chased like Rajpal Yadav in Hungama

 

[shariqnoor]

Stokes carnage.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Krunal Pandya feeling the pressure of International Cricket that too in an empty stadium.

 

[MP2011]

lol, Krunal isn't mohalla class, leave alone international.

 

[Mamoon]

I've seen enough "flashy" players as a fan of Pakistan. Pant is going to go the Umar Akmal route. His fundamentals are flawed.

Pant is freakishly talented. Umar is not fit to tie his shoelaces. He is well on his way of becoming the greatest Test WK batsman in Asian cricket history and will have a wonderful LOI career as well.

Also, he is a miles better batsman than Moeen.

 

[Rana]

5 overs for 65 Krunal Pandya

Surely that has to be a world record???

 

[street cricketer]

The English commentators are vouching for the Indian approach, and pundits here are vouching for england approach

No wonder the English commentators were elated with India's tried and tested strategy of "building a solid foundation and launching at the end" when India were meandering at 4.5 an over through the middle overs)

 

[Mamoon]

A privilege to watch two of the best LOI teams of this era.

Phenomenal cricket by both sides.

 

[Rana]

India bringing in their 155kmh bowler in a bit too late

 

[Rajdeep]

Chahal must be having ladoo in his heart seeing the phainta Kuldeep is getting.

 

[MP2011]

57 runs in last 3 overs!

 

[Rajdeep]

India bringing in their 155kmh bowler in a bit too late

Nah....we are still winning this game. Eng will choke anytime

 

[Rana]

Uff ho, no ball

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

lol, Krunal isn't mohalla class, leave alone international.

I think he should return the ODI cap back to Kohli and go home.

 

[Justcrazy]

England do not need to take any risks now

 

[Cric1234]

Pant is freakishly talented. Umar is not fit to tie his shoelaces. He is well on his way of becoming the greatest Test WK batsman in Asian cricket history and will have a wonderful LOI career as well.

Also, he is a miles better batsman than Moeen.

Umar Akmal is capable of averaging close to 50 as a top order batsman in tests and ODIs at high strike rates currently.

 

[Rana]

X factor providing the Xtra pace to sail over the boundary for 6

 

[jiduguravindra]

Hahaha krunal getting beating of his life.

 

[Thanos]

Add 30-40 runs to India's score using whatever template and England would still win this match.
Pathetic bowling

 

[Mamoon]

Umar Akmal is capable of averaging close to 50 as a top order batsman in tests and ODIs at high strike rates currently.

Okay.

 

[asadee]

This is some humiliation. Indian bowlers treated like mohalla bowlers

 

[Rana]

England do not need to take any risks now

They might chase this down in the next 4 overs

 

[rhony]

If the beast mode works, this is how it looks. If it doesn't, it looks like last game. Eitherway Kudos to Eng for sticking to it no matter what

 

[Rana]

Xfactor missing his Yorker by a few inches

 

[Rana]

XFactor slapped for another 4

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Looks like they want to finish it in 40 overs.

 

[JattMaula]

As I said at least 360 is par in Pune. Though it would have still been a losing total for India.

India still havent embraced modern batting. Left 50 runs umscored in middle overs and power play..

 

[Kashmirilion]

Is that 80 runs last 5 overs

 

[Mamoon]

One of the greatest knocks of Stokes’ stellar career. The list keeps growing.

A once in a century cricketer. The modern day Sobers.

 

[Ab Fan]

Selfish batting from Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli and Rahul costing India the match

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Loving this. Aur pelo

This is what you get when you bat like it's 90s

 

[Pakhs]

This will bring back Ashwin into the team soon

 

[Rana]

Pant’s face

He knows India has been destroyed here

 

[AAli98]

It’s like Iv got my PS5 pad in my hand & watching the game !!

 

[Pakhs]

Selfish batting from Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli and Rahul costing India the match

If you allow an allrounder to smoke a 100 at 200 SR nothing batsmen can do.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Hahaha krunal getting beating of his life.

Deepak Hooda must be enjoying it.

 

[Rajdeep]

Reminds me of that Trent Bridge game against Pakistan where Eng scored 444. Had Eng batted first...they would have posted similar total here too. Tremendous hitting

 

[Cric1234]

Ben Stokes to Krunal and Kuldeep thanks for coming goodnight.

 

[Rana]

One of the greatest knocks of Stokes’ stellar career. The list keeps growing.

A once in a century cricketer. The modern day Sobers.

Modern Day sober’s bowling is on par with Faheem Sobers

 

[rhony]

This will bring back Ashwin into the team soon

Bingo. And that would be the right choice.

 

[Justcrazy]

Stokes approaching a hundred here

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Oh no. Rohit injured?

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

If you allow an allrounder to smoke a 100 at 200 SR nothing batsmen can do.

Do you mean Stokes?
Because if you do then you are totally clueless
