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

[sensible-indian-fan]

Nice bouncer by Mohit.

 

[DarkLord]

one more six, get it to 50 hales

 

[desi_launda]

Hales playing wild slogs

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

After this over, it will be spin from both ends.

Shami - 2 overs gone.
Mohit - 3 overs gone.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ashwin is in deep trouble cos his carrom balls were not coming properly in the ODI series.

It would take a miracle if he walks off from this match with somewhat respectable figures.

 

[Mr Consistent]

46-2
6 overs

 

[Saurav]

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.

You get spells after getting whacked only if you have a record backing you up.Umesh doesnt.hes not even wicket taking in ODIs

I agree,he shouldnt have played in first place.Hopefully its the last ODI hes played in a while.30 ODIs are more than enough to judge,a slower bowler wouldnt even have got 10 ODIs with those numbers.Yadav deserved some rope due to his pace but its enough now.

Should try Aaron,Bumrah now

 

[leatherface58]

England back to wearing the horrible jersey.

 

[DarkLord]

5 overs done, 46/2, decent start but again too many wickets down so early!

 

[Saurav]

After this over, it will be spin from both ends.

Shami - 2 overs gone.
Mohit - 3 overs gone.

I am looking forward to Karan.

I didn't say Yadav should be dropped.

he should be given a proper spell.

Anyways....let's move on bud

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I am looking forward to Karan.

99% chance he will outbowl Ashwin and Jaddu.

 

[Mr Consistent]

by hales

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Man, this pitch needed 3 pacers.

Dhoniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[Saurav]

Ashwin is in deep trouble cos his carrom balls were not coming properly in the ODI series.

It would take a miracle if he walks off from this match with somewhat respectable figures.

Dunno why he tries these silly variations.Should just try to bowl off spin like Ali does.

Ashwin resorts to these tactics too soon for my liking

 

[cricketindiafan]

Jadeja in T20Is

21 ODIs , 77 runs@10, 13 wickets @ 38.

Took 1 wicket and scored 3 runs in the last T20 WC.

Does anyone know why he gets an uninterrupted run in T20s in Team India ( being a CSKite helps?)

 

[DarkLord]

England back to wearing the horrible jersey.

Completely agree with you, they should have stayed with the ODI Kit!

 

[Haz95]

the weather is beautiful atm there.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

He didn't try any variation.

Bowled too much on the offside. 1 bowl was too short.

And frankly its cruel to open with a spinner on this pitch. There is nothing in it (atleast at the start of the innings).

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

The same Roy couldn't score anything against Mohit.

 

[Mr Consistent]

free hit time

 

[Saurav]

no ball

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Jaddu come and join the Ashwin level performance party.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Thank god.

 

[DarkLord]

Root is horrible against Spin and more so against Jadega

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

No ball and still 6 runs only from his over.

Good.

 

[Saurav]

He didn't try any variation.

OK thanx I didnt watch at the start.

Yeah doesnt look like a spinner friendly pitch

 

[Saurav]

Jaddu come and join the Ashwin level performance party.

please no

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Again short from Ashwin.

 

[Saurav]

Jadeja in T20Is

21 ODIs , 77 runs@10, 13 wickets @ 38.

Took 1 wicket and scored 3 runs in the last T20 WC.

Does anyone know why he gets an uninterrupted run in T20s in Team India ( being a CSKite helps?)

They don't differentiate between ODIs and T20s.Dhoni himself has a pathetic record and shouldnt be playing let alone captaining

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Decent over by Ashwin.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Jaddu is ACTUALLY a worse T20 bowler than Ashwin.

The thing on his day he picks up a bunch of wickets but goes missing most of the time.

 

[Saurav]

Hales in beast mode

we gonna be chasing 200

 

[leatherface58]

Sir bowling pies.

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[leatherface58]

Wow brilliant by Rahane.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Actually there is no one in the Indian team who can be called even a decent INTERNATIONAL T20 bowler.

Its all about form.

Its only about who is the least worst.

 

[cricketindiafan]

3rd catch by Rahane and a brilliant one.

 

[Saurav]

Jaddu is ACTUALLY a worse T20 bowler than Ashwin.

The thing on his day he picks up a bunch of wickets but goes missing most of the time.

Mishra is our best T20 bowler followed by Ashwin imo.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

RAHANE you beauty.

 

[DarkLord]

Again England seem to be trapping in the web of spin!

 

[Mr Consistent]

what a catch by Rahane

 

[Saurav]

What a catch

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Mishra is our best T20 bowler followed by Ashwin imo.

Ashwin >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mishra

He can't take in pressure.

Skill wise, Mishra >>>>>>>>>>>> Ashwin

 

[cricketindiafan]

Dinda perhaps has the best T20 record for India

 

[Mr Consistent]

76-3
10 overs

 

[DarkLord]

Stupid from Hales, you already hit a six, why go for another one?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Dinda perhaps has the best T20 record for India

Horrible.

 

[Saurav]

Ashwin >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mishra

He can't take in pressure.

Skill wise, Mishra >>>>>>>>>>>> Ashwin

yeah but hes done better in T20s somehow

not saying hes better overall.I know his mental problems

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Tummy is a good cushion.

 

[Saurav]

 

[leatherface58]

Ashwin and Sir cooking up some sumptuous pies.

 

[Saurav]

good catch

 

[leatherface58]

Terrible knock from Root over.

 

[dashing_man]

Root out!

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Karn gets one.

Woohoo.

 

[dashing_man]

If Root had been Misbah, the whole forum world would have been criticizing him by now

 

[dashing_man]

In comes the Butler

 

[Saurav]

fielding has been top notch

what bowling by Karn

 

[Firebreaker]

Root is not a t20 player

 

[dashing_man]

Root is not a t20 player

you can't just judge someone over a one or few bad games

 

[dashing_man]

what is with England and spin bowling!

 

[Saurav]

very good over by Jaddu

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Very good over.

 

[Saurav]

impressive from Karan

 

[Mr Consistent]

99-4
15 overs

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Mr Consistent]

100 up for england

 

[dashing_man]

jadeja playing good cop/bad cop with his overs

 

[Mr Consistent]

poor over by Sir

 

[dashing_man]

I reckon England will make something around 160

 

[Mr Consistent]

another by morgan

 

[dashing_man]

 

[dashing_man]

welcome to depth bowling Karn

 

[dashing_man]

Butler yet to be awaken

 

[leatherface58]

Another Sharma in the team.

 

[dashing_man]

Karn going for 18 of his last #Lame

 

[Justcrazy]

Just 18 balls left

 

[dashing_man]

Another Sharma in the team.

and Butler still silent!

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms need to get at least another 30 runs here
