England v India | 4th ODI | September 2, 2014 | Birmingham

[Electron]

Moeen hammers Ashwin for a 6. Shami should be the one bowling to Moeen, not Kulkarni.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ali.

 

[Aman]

When was the last time England won a home ODI series? NZ, Aus, India, SL and SA have all beat or drawn them?

 

[Saurav]

if Eng get 230+ we are gonna be in trouble.Can see Moeen Ali running through us again

 

[Electron]

Moeen smacks Jaddu for a boundary now. Poor captaincy from Dhoni.

 

[Boi]

Moeen showing the top order how to play. Really stupid to have him batting at 7.

 

[Justcrazy]

13 overs more , poms need another hundred here.

 

[Itachi]

england should get to 250+ to have a match.

 

[Justcrazy]

Moeen showing the top order how to play. Really stupid to have him batting at 7.

He was not in good touch.

 

[Saurav]

Moeen smacks Jaddu for a boundary now. Poor captaincy from Dhoni.

Relax its a batting powerplay

 

[Itachi]

if Eng get 230+ we are gonna be in trouble.Can see Moeen Ali running through us again

we wil win it with 10 overs to spare.

 

[style_guru]

Moeen struggles against short ball. MS is feeding him with spinners.

 

[Aman]

Moeen Bhai on aag

 

[Boi]

Lovely hit for 6!

 

[Electron]

Moeen won't last 1 over against a 140kph bowler. Cannot understand why he is being fed with spinners and trundlers.

 

[Electron]

Relax its a batting powerplay

Doesn't matter. We are playing to Moeen's strengths which is stupid.

 

[Saurav]

140 kph Shami smacked too

 

[Aman]

How did Buttler miss that?

 

[Saurav]

poor decision

no DRS

 

[Aman]

Deserves it for missing such a delivery.

 

[Itachi]

Doesn't matter. We are playing to Moeen's strengths which is stupid.

someone give this electron a jaddu ki jhappi.

he seems as annoyed as his profile pic.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

That always looked like it was too high. Bad decision.

 

[Aman]

Indian's should be happy, the chances of a Kohli ton increase the more runs England get.

 

[Justcrazy]

164 /6

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms would get around 220 here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Nine overs left

 

[Justcrazy]

Moeen needs to bat through.

 

[Justcrazy]

172/6

42 Overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ali.

 

[Mir jibran]

fifty for moeen bai

 

[Justcrazy]

192 /6

 

[Electron]

Keep feeding him the spinners, awesome

 

[Electron]

Runout.. woakes

 

[Justcrazy]

Catch dropped!!!!

 

[style_guru]

So Shami has 4 overs left & MS is operating with part timer Raina & CSK mascot Ashwin in the 45th over?

MS at times acts like a finance graduate would if he's made in-charge of a chemical lab. Totally clueless

 

[desi_launda]

Raina :jonty:

 

[Electron]

Shami bowling quick. I want to see a bouncer now.

 

[Electron]

Terrific bowling from Shami. Great bouncer and yorkers this over.

 

[Saurav]

Terrific bowling from Shami. Great bouncer and yorkers this over.

hes our only good death bowler.hopefully Aaron can be one too if tried

 

[desi_launda]

Moeen

 

[Electron]

That was awesome from Dhoni.

Next ball, Moeen

 

[Saurav]

gone

beauty by Lyon

 

[Electron]

hes our only good death bowler.hopefully Aaron can be one too if tried

Yes, I too believe that Aaron can be a good death bowler.

 

[Mir jibran]

a gud innings comes to an end

 

[Electron]

Could not have gone closer to the stumps. Unlucky Jaddu.

 

[Saurav]

beauty by Sir

and next ball

 

[Electron]

Bowls him next ball

Sirrrrrrr !

 

[Bilal7]

Moeen should be batting at #3 not in the slogger's spot. A really versatile player though, can bat anywhere in teh top order and in the lower order as well.

Been owning Indian for the past month or so, lets see if he can give them a scare with the ball as well.

 

[leatherface58]

Sir RJ is a beast against England regardless of where the game is played.

 

[delpiero10]

Finn, Anderson, Gurney is a long ODI tail for England. Especially when you consider that they have another tail ender opening the batting...

 

[Bilal7]

Where were all these Indians during the test series?

 

[Mamoon]

Where were all these Indians during the test series?

Wherever you were when SL were decimating us in the Tests and Ajmal was getting schooled by Herath.

 

[style_guru]

Have been seeing Gurney in so many county matches. It's about time he shines in English national colors

 

[Mamoon]

Moeen bhai seems to be the new age Indian basher.

 

[Varun]

England should just quit playing the shorter forms if they're not interested.

We're learning nothing by beating this tripe.

Come the World Cup, we're going to get stomped by SA/Aus/Lanka.

We will lose to them in ODIs in England even today.

 

[Bilal7]

Moeen bhai seems to be the new age Indian basher.

Oh please, he's done well against everyone that he has played against. Not his fault that the Indians have come to his home for a long visit.

Wherever you were when SL were decimating us in the Tests and Ajmal was getting schooled by Herath.

Not home. Thankfully. And I'm talking about the crowd.

 

[desi_launda]

Anderson booed again

 

[Mamoon]

Moeen bhai is a mediocre cricketer who has a liking for India. Nothing more nothing less.

 

[Saurav]

Sir RJ is a beast against England regardless of where the game is played.

averages 56 against them with bat too

 

[desi_launda]

Raina

 

[Bilal7]

Seems to be more Indians in the stands than Englishmen. So much for home advantage.

 

[Varun]

This Gurney averages like 32 in both FC and List A with the ball in spite of bowling on them moist greentops.

 

[leatherface58]

Jimmy with epic fails in the name of reverse sweeps.

 

[Bilal7]

Moeen bhai is a mediocre cricketer who has a liking for India. Nothing more nothing less.

Lol. Just drop it. A quality player who will keep putting egg on your face as long as you keep calling him mediocre due to non-cricketing reasons.

Hilarious how you called Stokes better than him.

 

[Varun]

When was the last time England won a home ODI series? NZ, Aus, India, SL and SA have all beat or drawn them?

Got lucky against us in 2011 thanks to all the rain and D/L.

 

[Bilal7]

Does the Indian batting order ever collapse while chasing?

 

[Electron]

Shami bowling superb for the last few overs.

 

[leatherface58]

Shami is promising.

 

[desi_launda]

Does the Indian batting order ever collapse while chasing?

When chasing 280+ overseas

Shami yorker 206 all

 

[Electron]

Gets him out, stumps shatter

 

[Mamoon]

Stokes will come good. Don't take things at face value only.

Moeen bhai's purple patch will be over soon.

 

[Bilal7]

Shami is India's best bowler by far. A well rounded pacer.

 

[Itachi]

it wil be a dull match. let's finish it in 35 overs and go home.

 

[Bilal7]

Stokes will come good. Don't take things at face value only.

Moeen bhai's purple patch will be over soon.

Purple patch? This is his only patch, lol.

Stokes hasn't shown anything before or after that century against Australia. Can easily be labelled a one-off performance.

 

[Mamoon]

Many players have purple patches initially before mediocrity catches up with them.

McClenaghan, Junaid, Azhar etc to name a few. Moeen bhai is no different.

 

[jaguarjack]

Shami is India's best bowler by far. A well rounded pacer.

no.. he was good only in this match... had horrid test series.. Bhuvi was miles ahead of him

 

[desi_launda]

no.. he was good only in this match... had horrid test series.. Bhuvi was miles ahead of him

In odi's there is no one close to him

 

[Bilal7]

no

IMO, he is. Almost as good as Bhuvi with the new ball but he has a lot more tricks up his sleeve.

Many players have purple patches initially before mediocrity catches up with them.

McClenaghan, Junaid, Azhar etc to name a few. Moeen bhai is no different.

Junaid and Azhar are not mediocre and have several years in front of them. Enough with this rubbish. Moeen has everything needed to become a quality player.

 

[Mamoon]

Junaid and Azhar are as mediocre as they come and yes they do have several years of mediocrity ahead of them if we don't show them the door yet.
