England v India | Only T20I | Sept 7, 2014 | Birmingham

[desi_launda]

Karn Sharma(leggie) debuts for India,Jason Roy(saffer) debuts for England

 

[Mr Consistent]

England have won the toss & they will bat first.

 

[Jabo]

Only T20... thought it would have been 3 or 2 at least.

England T20 side is pretty average, India should chase the total, cant see England putting anything above 150 though not sure how this pitch is, someone needs to play a Finch innings for England to get a good total.

 

[cricketindiafan]

Wonder why Dhoni needs to pay this totally inconsequential game. Should have given a chance to Sanju.

And we have picked the exact same squad as ODIs and decided to play 3 spinners! What a terrible team selection.

 

[desi_launda]

3 spinners )

 

[Mr Consistent]

England Team
AD Hales, JJ Roy, MM Ali, JE Root, EJG Morgan*, JC Buttler†, RS Bopara, CR Woakes, JC Tredwell, ST Finn, HF Gurney

India Team
S Dhawan, AM Rahane, V Kohli, AT Rayudu, SK Raina, MS Dhoni*†, RA Jadeja, R Ashwin, KV Sharma, MM Sharma, Mohammed Shami

 

[Firebreaker]

Jason Roy makes his debut.I think Samson should have been given Atleast one chance

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Wat today match?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Great decision to give Karn Sharma his debut.

Still no Samson

 

[cricketindiafan]

Disgusting really. Binny took 6 wickets last time he played in the shorter formats, not good enough for even one game! Umesh Yadav gets one chance, dropped. Dhawal gets one chance, dropped.

CSKite Mohit Sharma gets dropped but comes back immediately.

BCCI and the players dont care about T20I's.We have played least no. of T20I among top 8 teams.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Guys anyone using TataSky here?

For Star Sports it says no signal.

Other channels are coming. Only sport channels are showing no signal.

 

[cricketindiafan]

Everyone gets a rest at some stage but not Dhoni despite having an injury! Sounds very insecure on part of Dhoni

 

[j_kazmi]

Why isn't james taylor playing? He could be englands next big thing along side root.

Working for me.

Jason Roy had the saffer quota going for him

 

[Alchemy]

The best thing about t20s is that i can watch them wholly irrespective of the teams playing.

Oh...Dunno what's happening in my end.

Will call someone.

 

[desi_launda]

Dhoni injured but still doesnt give chance to Samson

 

[Saurav]

good to see Karan Sharma playing

However would have liked to see Samson and Binny too.Playing Rayudu in T20 is most idiotic

 

[desi_launda]

Wasim Akram on Star Sports :"The reason Pakistan are consistent in T20's because there is no thinking involved."

Mohit was injured,not dropped.much better than Yadav atleast

 

[Saurav]

Dhoni injured but still doesnt give chance to Samson

injured?

yeah would have liked to see Samson

 

[cricketindiafan]

Safe to say Dhoni has not picked Umesh Yada to save himself from getting injured further.

Must be the first time a team has picked 3 specialist spinners in a T20 in England

 

[Saurav]

Torres getting smacked

 

[Mr Consistent]

phainty for ashwin )

 

[cricketindiafan]

17 runs off the first over.

ROFL

 

[desi_launda]

pahinta to ashwin

 

[Jabo]

17 in a over lol Ashwin

yeah his pathetic ODI record amd pathetic performance in last ODI has nothing to do with it

 

[cricketindiafan]

Now another CSK hero to bowl. Last time Mohit Sharma took a wicket in any form against a top 8 side was way back in April 2014 in te T20 WC

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Rubbish captaincy.

Rubbish bowling.

Rubbish cricket.

 

[cricketindiafan]

yeah his pathetic ODI record amd pathetic performance in last ODI has nothing to do with it

Mohit Sharma obviously has set the cricketing world on fire, nahin?

 

[Saurav]

Now another CSK hero to bowl. Last time Mohit Sharma took a wicket in any form against a top 8 side was way back in April 2014 in te T20 WC

he was there taking wickets in BD while fast bowler Yadav was getting spanked by BD batsmen in bowler friendly conditions

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Dhoni gave Umesh Yadav 6 overs in the last game in 4 freaking spells.

There is no defense for Dhoni reg Yadav.

 

[Saurav]

Mohit Sharma obviously has set the cricketing world on fire, nahin?

much better than Yadav,not that its very hard to do that

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[j_kazmi]

Jason Roy had the saffer quota going for him

He's south african aswell!!!

Who's not south african in the english team

 

[cricketindiafan]

he was there taking wickets in BD while fast bowler Yadav was getting spanked by BD batsmen in bowler friendly conditions

Yep all he has is a grand total of one wicket against a top 8 side in 6-7 ODIs and a couple in T20s. Such a threatening bowler

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Still a vastly better over than Ashwin.

The 6 ball was also good.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

working for me too

Its not for me.

Watching via online streaming now.

 

[Ahson8]

Umm, why isn't BK playing ?
And I think India should give T20 captaincy to Raina. Will give them chances to try young keepers like Samson in this format.

 

[cricketindiafan]

much better than Yadav,not that its very hard to do that

Sharma in ODIs minus the minnows - 5 ODIs, 1 wicket @ 212, ER of 7+, earth shattering numbers

 

[Ahson8]

England batting is really good but bowling is pathetic.

 

[Mr Consistent]

roy

 

[mithun_minhas]

Slogging FAIL.

 

[Saurav]

Dhoni gave Umesh Yadav 6 overs in the last game in 4 freaking spells.

There is no defense for Dhoni reg Yadav.

thats a pathetic excuse.Everybody knew we need a death bowler so Yadav would have got overs there if he did well

Here's how our two death bowlers Shami and Umesh got spells

Umesh :

1st spell : 3 overs (with new ball)
2nd : 1(in middle overs)
3rd :1(conceded 13)
4th : 1(conceded 12)

Shami :

1st spell : 4 overs(without new ball)
2nd : 1 over(before batting PP)
3rd : 5 overs (but conceded 6,6,5,6,11 in those overs)

if he went for 13 and 12 like Yadav,he might not have got overs too.


So both were treated pretty equally.Infact Yadav got better as he got new ball despite much inferior record)

 

[Saurav]

 

[desi_launda]

Shami get the debutant

 

[desi_launda]

BK averages 65 since 2013(or something like that).Still got a consistent run.

 

[desi_launda]

PP fav in

 

[cricketindiafan]

Stop the press, Mohit Sharma has a wicket against a top 8 side, a very rare event

 

[Mr Consistent]

Moeen Ali
)

 

[Saurav]

Sharma in ODIs minus the minnows - 5 ODIs, 1 wicket @ 212, ER of 7+, earth shattering numbers

atleast he didnt get smashed by same minnows in bowler friendly conditions where even Binny did well.

also these must be just 5-6 ODIs,Yadav has got 30 ODIs now and his performances are still poor

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Yeah. One guy gets 3 overs in spell 1 and 1 over spells while other guy gets 4 and 5 over spells (spell 1 and 3).

Equal treatment only.

Dhoni treats pacers badly but Umesh got a real bad deal.

Pacers get into rhytm to bowl well.

 

[Saurav]

BK averages 65 since 2013(or something like that).Still got a consistent run.

because he had done well earlier.and his ER is always good

his averages are 33 and 45 for 2013 and 2014

 

[RWAC]

Poor Moeen gave a catch to go back to pavillion otherwise he might cry because he is being booed at home.

 

[desi_launda]

PP fav out

 

[Justcrazy]

What is the score ?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

2 pacers are doing well but we need to use up 3 spinners.

Booyaa.

 

[desi_launda]

31/2 after 4.1

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Seriously no runs are being scored of pacers. Hardly any.

 

[Justcrazy]

India is a better team in shoter format , poms lack good spiners.

 

[desi_launda]

2 pacers are doing well but we need to use up 3 spinners.

Booyaa.

There's Raina too

 

[Justcrazy]

Booyaa.

Spin plays an important role in middle overs.

 

[Firebreaker]

Indians booing Moeen Ali.OH God

 

[Saurav]

Yeah. One guy gets 3 overs in spell 1 and 1 over spells while other guy gets 4 and 5 over spells (spell 1 and 3).

Equal treatment only.

Dhoni treats pacers badly but Umesh got a real bad deal.

Shami bowled first over of his 3rd spell for 5 runs instead of 13,so obviously he'll get more.

Plus Yadav got new ball

 

[Saurav]

Ashwin

 

[DarkLord]

England what are you doing, this is the flattest you would get but still 2 down :faceplam:

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

There's Raina too

I know. He will bowl a few overs which will be deducted from our pacers.

 

[Justcrazy]

How England won 20 20 wc is still surprising for me

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ashwingaru.

Brilliant performance.

Brilliant.

 

[DarkLord]

Should have got the 3rd one, shame England!

 

[cricketindiafan]

Eng should save a few wickets for last 5 overs. With spinners bowling, even 75-80 runs are easily possible.

 

[DarkLord]

Comeon Hales, Smash the Trundlers!

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Shami bowled first over of his 3rd spell for 5 runs instead of 13,so obviously he'll get more.

Plus Yadav got new ball

By this yardstick, if a pacer goes for runs, they should get spells like this.

Pacers (especially erratic but wicket taking ones like Umesh) need spells.

If you can't give them proper spells, you are pretty much wasting everyone's time playing them.

 

[DarkLord]

Hacks smashing at everything,

 

[Saurav]

Hales somehow turns into a beast in T20s,so consistent
