England v India | 2nd ODI | Bristol | [24/8/07]

[Noman]

very unlucky,, he deserved a 100 this time.. lets hope he can do it in the next match..

 

[linuxaddict]

I want Collingwood sacked.

No Englishman should be let loose on the captaincy if he can't count.

May he was in Pollock's company for sometime..

 

[iZeeshan]

Wooh, 3 fours this over. Dravid on firre..

 

[Boys_played_well]

on a flat wicket , no pressure .........tendulkar bcoms god again .....lol !

Tendulkar comes close to God when it comes to batting. Did you watch the innings today? He played some amazing strokes.

I'm glad I was home and able to watch it!

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow, Dravid can't stop. He is Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwning.

 

[12thMan]

Ind 292-3 after 46 overs @ 6.35
projected score 317

 

[Hari Sombar]

10 min break between innings

 

[Swaraj!!]

Why such a short break!!!

 

[Hari Sombar]

Why such a short break!!!

The over rate is bad, as I talk Dhoni goes from a great catch from Tremlett

 

[12thMan]

10 min break between innings

probably because of over rate and that means Eng gets shorter time to rest. need a spinner to speed it up

 

[Swaraj!!]

Under the circumstances.....Great One Day Bowling from Anderson. Where was he all these years.

Bowling O M R W Econ
SCJ Broad 9 0 54 1 6.00 (2nb, 1w)
JM Anderson 8.4 1 41 0 4.73 (3w)
A Flintoff 8 0 43 2 5.37 (3nb)
CT Tremlett 9 0 73 0 8.11 (3nb, 2w)
AD Mascarenhas 4 0 31 0 7.75 (1w)
PD Collingwood 4 0 24 0 6.00
RS Bopara 4 0 27 0 6.75

 

[12thMan]

Last over it seemed Andersen bowled 3 full tosses.
Ind 302-4 after 47 overs

 

[Hari Sombar]

Katrick in hopefully he can get Dravid on strike more ... wouldn't normally say that lol

 

[Hari Sombar]

Last over it seemed Andersen bowled 3 full tosses.
Ind 302-4 after 47 overs

Here's one from Flintoff that goes for 4

 

[Hash]

Well at least we managed more than 2 wickets in 50 overs.

 

[Mo.]

And here comes Dravid to slow us down

Right.

75 off 55

 

[Hari Sombar]

Karthick given out lbw, I thought its leg side

 

[Hari Sombar]

Right.

75 off 55

my bad lol

 

[12thMan]

why was the last ball from Flintoff a wide. The batsman moved to the offside and the ball looked fine
Karthik out on 1 LBW Flintoff

 

[Hari Sombar]

we should get about 330, Dravid is playing very well

 

[Hari Sombar]

smacked 6 over cover from Dravid

 

[12thMan]

Ind 310-5 after 48 overs

 

[12thMan]

what a six by Dravid

 

[Boys_played_well]

Dravid showing his class.

Poor England, their joy was short lived

 

[Hari Sombar]

Thats an awsome shot from Dravid, going to the leg side and guides it down to 3rd man, the fielder can't believe it

 

[Hari Sombar]

Agarkar edges behind, Powar need to give Dravid the strike straight away

 

[Mo.]

Flintoff 4 wickets (and counting?) with a (slightly?) injured knee.

Good performance

 

[12thMan]

Agarkar out ct behind
Ind 324-6 after 49.1

 

[Mo.]

Five wickets for Flintoff.

Top notch performance

 

[Hari Sombar]

Bloody hell Powar gone too, Flintoff with a 5fer, career best figures for him

 

[Indian]

dravid has played like this b4. no suprise. anyone rem his 22 ball 50? what a player

 

[Hari Sombar]

Dravid faces last ball and gets a 2, india end on 329-7, great innings from Dravid

 

[12thMan]

Ind 329-7 after 50 overs

 

[Billy]

Some good batting in there, taking full advantage of the flat pitch.

Flintoff bowled really well.
Anderson was good apart from his final over.
Broad's opening spell was good but his inexperience showed later on.
Tremlett and Mascarhenas were very poor.
Bopara and Colly weren't totally awful but they weren't that great either.

 

[ali110]

LOL, same fans were criticizing Dravid for slow batting over the years. Dravid can bat like this but once in a blue moon. He is a proper batsman and ODI's and 20/20 don't do justice to his batting.

 

[12thMan]

Eng 22-0 after 3 overs

 

[12thMan]

10 runs from the over. Agarkar 3 overs 30 runs
Eng 37-0 after 5 overs.

 

[Mohsin]

10 runs off the last over, including Ganguly dropping a catch in the slips, Prior the batsman. After 5 overs its 37/0

 

[Saj]

England to win by 4 wickets is my prediction.

 

[Billy]

England to win by 4 wickets is my prediction.

I think The Powar might have a huge say in this match.

 

[Saj]

I think The Powar might have a huge say in this match.

He already has Billy. He's demolished parts of the outfield when diving for the ball.

 

[12thMan]

Eng 43-0 after 6 overs. need 287 runs @ RR 6.55
Ind was 23-0 after 6

 

[12thMan]

back to back fours off Agarkar by Prior
Eng 51-0 after 6.3 overs

 

[12thMan]

current RR 7.71 required RR 6.42
11 runs off Agarkar's over
Eng 54-0 after 7

 

[Saj]

The outfield at the Rose Bowl is one of the quickest I have ever seen.

 

[jusarrived]

exactly why I din rate tendulkars innings .......thank god he din get to his ton , we still have some hope !

 

[12thMan]

Eng 75-0 after 10 overs - need 255 more to win

India was 39-0 and had hit 6 fours
Eng has 14 fours

 

[Mohsin]

well well well!
Prior caught by the person who dropped him earlier, Ganguly, but.... its a no-ball. Munaf will be kicking himself!

 

[12thMan]

Patel on hatrick
Eng 76-2

 

[Rickz]

A two wicket maiden for Munaf, England 76-2 after 11 overs.

 

[iZeeshan]

Jesus christ, he is on a hattrick!

Going so solidly England, then this! WoooooooW!

 

[king_of_kings_ali]

2 in 2!!! Momentum shifting now

 

[Mohsin]

India back in control now

 

[12thMan]

Eng needs a 100 partnership to make it interesting

 

[12thMan]

Powar drops Bell at third man
Eng 80-2

 

[12thMan]

Eng 86-2 after 13 overs. need 244 from 37 overs @ 6.59

 

[king_of_kings_ali]

Eng 86-2 after 13 overs. need 244 from 37 overs @ 6.59

Peiterson the key for both sides.

 

[iZeeshan]

Patel has now brought the game back into India's favor. Missed the hattrick, but still a very good bowling performance.

 

[king_of_kings_ali]

England still have a good chance, they have a long batting order.

 

[Rob H]

Bell cracks 2 boundaries off Munaf's over. First a great pull shot and followed by an exquisite backfoot punch.

98/2 off 15 overs

 

[12thMan]

Eng 98-2 after 15 overs - need 232 more to win
India was 69-0

 

[12thMan]

Agarkar back in 4 overs for 41 runs

 

[Rickz]

India can't allow Bell and KP to get into some sort of a partnership, a cracking game so far.

 

[Rob H]

Munaf losing the plot now. Bowling on the pads and now a huge wide outside offstump for 5 wides.

 

[Rob H]

115/2 off 17 overs. Suprised we've come out firing trying to keep up with the run rate. Just need to keep the partnerships going as obvious as that sounds. As playa said, a great game so far.

 

[Rob H]

Another one dropped. Dhoni drops Pietersen standing up to the stumps to Ganguly. How many chances are India giving England?

edit, 2 balls later Ganguly has dropped Pietersen caught and bowled

 

[Easa]

Does someone have a live stream? I've been kicked off the TV..

 

[linuxaddict]

they seem to think there is sh** on the ball.

 

[12thMan]

Eng 127-2 after 20 overs - need 203 more

 

[iZeeshan]

128/2.

RRR isn't too bad. They have 8 wickets.

 

[linuxaddict]

the challenge is keep the rr after powerplays are over

 

[Mo.]

KP bowled by Chawla

 

[Rob H]

My lord great ball by Chawla. He's bowled Pietersen a brilliant straight one that has gone straight through the gate. Lovely bowling beta.

134/3

 

[12thMan]

Pietersen bowled by Chawla.
Eng 134-3 after 21.2 overs

 

[Rickz]

KP is bowled by Chawla!.

 

[Rob H]

Just seen the replay and it was actually a leggie that didn't spin much. KP played outside the line and the ball went through the gate hitting the top of off

136/3 off 22

 

[iZeeshan]

Dang, with KP gone, things look very bleak.

 

[iZeeshan]

160/3.

RRR is 7.1. Who's in after Collignwood? As far as I know, this is their last "good" pair.

 

[12thMan]

There is Bopara and Flintoff and I think Macharanes can bat too

 

[12thMan]

Eng 171-3 after 28 overs
India was 167-1
Eng needs 159 to win from 130 balls . required RR 7.23
