England vs India | 4th ODI | Lords | 11/9/11

[Solid Snake]

EDIT: ^LOL!

Swann and Bopara had lost it this over, were over thinking the whole thing. Munaf bowling with a wet ball couldn't have bought a wicket but they went onto gift theirs. They should have played normally, if they were called off they would have won by D/L, if they weren't called off they would have been able to chase down the remaining runs...

 

[iHammad]

The umpires will wait till 6.30 pm before calling the presently-tied game off

 

[Rana]

Bopara should've blocked that ball.

Sky Sports panel believe he wanted to be a hero loool

 

[akheR]

No more rain it seems.

 

[Stanman]

Rain stopped, match back on

 

[ZAK]

Rain has stopped but the ground has a lot of water on it.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Bopara should've blocked that ball.

And what if the umpires did not call of play? The match was still on. He tried to get the runs to put off pressure.

 

[iHammad]

I think it's definitely a tie now.

 

[ZAK]

I they should carry on regardless of the water.

 

[Strike!]

This match deserves a real result so good news.

 

[nads_rocks]

6.30pm cut off time.

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

LIVE PICTURES FROM INDIA!

.....

))))))

 

[akheR]

Match is officially over.

 

[Rana]

Game over

 

[iHammad]

Match tied, it's official.

 

[Stanman]

*** match drawn, only had to bowl 7 deliveries

 

[Sledger]

Rain has stopped - massive rainfall on the field. They're trying to dry out a huge puddle but it's a big race. I don't think they'll make it.

 

[iHammad]

England win the series ) )

 

[USIND]

England have more wickets down,doesn't it mean India are the winners?

 

[nads_rocks]

Match over. Game tied England win series and India still not won a game haha

 

[Sledger]

Yep, game is a tie.

 

[akheR]

INDIA LOST THE ODI SERIES...



... TOO

 

[Strike!]

Match tied.

 

[ZAK]

And what if the umpires did not call of play? The match was still on. He tried to get the runs to put off pressure.

Nothing wrong with that but i think he should've gone for the safer option.

 

[duostyle]

England must be gutted, Swanny and Bopara were taking them to the win but Bopara pressed Swann for the single and he dragged the ball into Munna's hands basically, sad.

Donno what that shot was for after by Bopara though, still had the game in the bag.

 

[Sledger]

Congratulations to India for not losing!

 

[iHammad]

MS Dhoni 78 from 71, and India still lose.

 

[Rana]

India still have not won a game!

They were laughing at us last year, although we played miles better than them

 

[USIND]

It was such a good game of cricket.There should have been a result.Not fair.

 

[nads_rocks]

Manjrekar is crying saying Dhoni deserves a win!

 

[IAJ]

England have more wickets down,doesn't it mean India are the winners?

It's isn't that easy girl. Better luck next time though

 

[Sledger]

Bopara MotM?

 

[Seen Sheen]

England have more wickets down,doesn't it mean India are the winners?

, I hope you are being funny!

 

[nads_rocks]

The curse of the D/L strikes yet again!

 

[iHammad]

Manjrekar )

 

[IgnitedMind]

Wasnt the whole point of having a D/L is to have a result?

 

[ZAK]

What a pathetic end to such a riveting game.

 

[Zamee]

India cant stop england even they are without peterson and morgan !!
pathetic really!!

 

[Rana]

Who remembers razzak's 40 off 20 balls last year at lords?

 

[Zamee]

India cant stop england even they are without peterson and morgan !!
pathetic really!!

 

[Bhaijaan]

OFFICIAL NOW

It's a tie , chuck it

 

[Love Pakistan]

Indians should be happy cuz they tied a game there in England at least... finally some different result...

 

[velu]

 

[Seen Sheen]

India avoid the second defeat of the tour. Thanks to the rain again.

 

[Rana]

Allow sanjay's smile!

 

[ZAK]

Manjrekar seems happy (or relieved) with the tie.

 

[USIND]

Congrats to England for having this game tied,even though they had lost more wickets.

India played much better. & are the winners for me. :HalfOfOurTeamIsInjured.

Reminder: India are the current World Champions.

 

[Bhaijaan]

DL method sucks :/

 

[Rana]

Bopara played really well

 

[Ahson8]

Game Tied

[Seen Sheen]

4 4 4 4 4.

 

[IgnitedMind]

India cant stop england even they are without peterson and morgan !!
pathetic really!!

You understand that we do not have Sachin Tendulkar,Virender Sehwag, Gautam Ghambhir, Yuvaraj Singh, Zaheer Khan,Harbhajan Singh right?

Coz the impact above mention players have on a ODI team is way way way way above KP and morgan!!

 

[velu]

Munaf's runout turned the match

 

[ZAK]

Reminder: India are the current World Champions.

Yet they've been losing all summer to a team that lost to Ireland in the wc.

 

[Rana]

Fake, dramebaaz champions

 

[QazzarFan]

D/L method should be banned.... the point is to have a result.... it's a shame such a game ends up w/ no result

 

[Legend Killer]

You understand that we do not have Sachin Tendulkar,Virender Sehwag, Gautam Ghambhir, Yuvaraj Singh, Zaheer Khan,Harbhajan Singh right?

How many player were you missing in the test when you got walloped 4-0?stop making excuses England are a better side thats why you have beaten by them in every format possible

 

[Ruri]

To be fair, D/L probably hurried Swann in trying to stay ahead of rate, they lost more wickets but it was calculated in, if Bops had not gotten out and not scored, would be an England win.

 

[Sledger]

Pink is a very appropriate choice of colour for this current team.

 

[Buffet]

England has uncanny ability to tie the game against India after doing all the hard work. In world cup they should have won as well.

 

[ZAK]

Sanjay just laid down a chalenge or something. lol

 

[Sledger]

I guess Broad will be out now, Dernbach back.

 

[velu]

How many player were you missing in the test when you got walloped 4-0?stop making excuses England are a better side thats why you have beaten by them in every format possible

no denying that our test team sucked big time
But our ODI team did far more better job than our experienced test side.

 

[Sledger]

LOL @ Sanjay.

Guy is hurt.

 

[Vegitto1]

Thats what you said when India were losing the Test series. "We don't have this and we don't have that"

All India really has is $$$ which it used to buy the Worldcup

 

[ZAK]

Presentation time.

 

[velu]

I guess Broad will be out now, Dernbach back.

Dernbach did well against SL.
Unfortunately he was predictable with his slower balls, and when some clubbers get hold of him :raina ...

 

[Sledger]

I thought they'd do the presentation in the long room.

 

[Buffet]

Thats what you said when India were losing the Test series. "We don't have this and we don't have that"

All India really has is $$$ which it used to buy the Worldcup

So you mean, Australia, pakistan and Sri Lanka were happy to exchange the world cup for money

 

[iHammad]

It's like sunny now?

 

[Sledger]

Dhoni will take it all with an open heart.

 

[ZAK]

Dhoni already practising his excuses that he is going to present to the Indian media when they get back home.

 

[iHammad]

Both Raina and Bopara are men of the match.

 

[ZAK]

Be honest and say you didn't miss Dernbach, Cook.

 

[Rana]

Cook gets well nervous doing interviews

 

[USIND]

Yet they've been losing all summer to a team that lost to Ireland in the wc.

Fake, dramebaaz champions

To be fair, D/L probably hurried Swann in trying to stay ahead of rate, they lost more wickets but it was calculated in, if Bops had not gotten out and not scored, would be an England win.

Jealousy can be injurious to health.

It's a fact World Champion Indians

Half our team is not playing,let them come back in full stregth.
(England - not a big deal winning against a depleted team )

As Dhoni just said,'We take result with open heart' such a positive guy.

 

[USIND]

Suresh & Ravi - Men of the Match.

 

[Sledger]

"It's all about winning at the end of the day"

- Cook.

) ) )

 

[nads_rocks]

Joint M.O.T.M too tied game now joint m.o.t.m btwn Bopara and Raina!

 

[ZAK]

Bopara reminds me of my cousin and i hate him as well.
