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

[Sledger]

He's practicing how to play bouncers.

Good comeback by these two.

 

[Sledger]

England's death bowling is horrible.

 

[Poison]

Remarkably similar to Razzaq's innings last year where he plundered 44 off 2 overs. England looking helpless. But I still think they didn't get enough in the middle overs, still need 300 on this track.

 

[Sledger]

Full toss, four more. 50 to the captain. Two in a row.

 

[Sledger]

All momentum is with India now, England will be tested.

 

[Sledger]

Swann will bowl the last over?

 

[Sledger]

Picked up for six and then a four. Amazing innings from the captain.

 

[insaftak]

good inning by dhoni and raina

 

[velu]

Both Raina and Dhoni played well for us

 

[Sledger]

He probably won't be given the last over now lol. 14 runs off the over.

This is now the highest 5th wicket partnership for India against England - 147.

 

[velu]

Last 5 overs 65 runs

 

[Sledger]

Anderson the death bowler extraordinare on.

 

[Saqs]

MSD has played the funniest shots in this game.

 

[Sledger]

Two taken first ball. Seriously good running here.

 

[Sledger]

275 will be defendable.

 

[velu]

Raina is surely a LOI legend

 

[Sledger]

Full toss and four.

 

[Sledger]

Mis-field LOL.

Four more.

13 off the over.

 

[Sledger]

Broad will bowl the last.

India are 270/4.

 

[velu]

 

[boomboomcheema]

Afridi should learn from Dhoni on how to bat . Take your time & follow it up big hitting later on instead of having brain farts from ball 1 .

 

[velu]

Broad chickened out

 

[Sledger]

Full toss first ball, 6.

276.

 

[Sledger]

That really was a shocking delivery. Serious amounts of fail there.

 

[Sledger]

Broad injured, going off. Probably doesn't want to face Misbah and Younis in the desert.

 

[velu]

Raian , well played

 

[Strike!]

lol wasim.

 

[Sledger]

Raina gone now.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Cook doesn't know when and how to use Anderson fully

 

[velu]

280/5

 

[Sledger]

281 is the target.

The saviour brings up the 280. Good bowling by Finn.

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Only 2 Pages, India must be doing well... ..
Good Total to defend there... Captain's innings by Dhoni...Raina..well .he plays really well in LOIs

 

[Sledger]

India are favourites to break their duck on this tour now. I think their bowling has a shot at defending this.

 

[Down2Earth]

some seriously pathetic death bowling from england

 

[JibranAnsari]

finally some batting from india in the tour. England can't chase it without pietersen and morgan.

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

36 overs - 140/4
50 overs - 280/5

 

[Sledger]

A lesson in ODI batting from Dhoni. Raina was a bit more lucky imo but Dhoni showed how to pace an innings.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Dramatic counter attack from Dhoni and Raina

 

[Momo]

Reasonable score by India. Should be a winning score normally but considering Indian bowling it is still 50-50.

 

[JibranAnsari]

will there be any rain to spoil indian party?

 

[spiron]

I still feel Indian side cud have gotten about 15-18 runs more.
They were on a roll in around the 47th over and cud have struck some more blows.. but this is a good score to defend as well. Let's see how they go about doing the job.

@Momo
Do tell me, who is in ur avatar pic ??

 

[Sledger]

Openers out there now. Short interval.

First ball tucked away for two.

 

[Sledger]

"That was him smiling"

on Fletcher lol.

 

[Looney]

8-0

2 overs gone

 

[Looney]

 

[Bhaijaan]

Real test for England today, can they beat India when the are good ?

 

[IAJ]

Oh I thought I was watching some slowmotion replays, but forgot that India are bowling..

 

[Sledger]

Four to Cook.

 

[Looney]

catch


keyswetter departs

 

[velu]

Kieswetter

 

[Sledger]

Kieshacker gone. Useless shot by a rubbish player.

 

[Sledger]

Good catch by the saviour.

 

[Legend Killer]

Kieswetter was my fantasy team captain

 

[Looney]

hope Trott gets a century here

 

[Bhaijaan]

lol RP takes a wicket

 

[Bhaijaan]

Kieswetter was my fantasy team captain

Nice

 

[IAJ]

two geniune test players out there now. *yawn* and the daddus in the other match are not any quicker huh. What to watch?

as I write, cook get's four.

 

[IAJ]

Kieswetter was my fantasy team captain

A hit or miss player is your captain?

 

[IAJ]

Cook

 

[velu]

RP on fire

 

[Sledger]

27/1 in 5 overs.

 

[Looney]

look at these chuss bowlers celebrating wickets

 

[Watsupdoc]

Trott will make sure that England lose

 

[Bhaijaan]

RP Singh on fire

 

[Watsupdoc]

 

[Sledger]

Double strike for RP!

 

[USIND]

 

[Looney]

RP Singh on fire

Bell and Trott will take care of that

no hattrick

 

[Sledger]

India should win now. Can't trust Bell to come off under pressure usually.

Bopara is rubbish.

Only Trott or Stokes can do this now lol.

 

[Legend Killer]

A hit or miss player is your captain?

Man, i thought he was going to be a hit in this series judging how crap the Indian bowlers are but turns out that i was overrating Kieswetter

 

[IAJ]

This was bound to happen. They changed their natural play and started with this tuk tukk and eventually threw their wickets away.

When you chase such a big score you need to be positive from ball one.

 

[Sledger]

This is why RP was selected ahead of the massively over-hyped Varun.

 

[Looney]

from trott

 

[Sledger]

Inside edge from Trott. Four.

 

[Sledger]

Back to back fours.

 

[Looney]

Nishith: "If it starts raining now, I swear i will start believing in God and also know that he doesn't like Indian Cricket Team too much..."



) it would be epic though

 

[Poison]

I think I'm supporting India in this game.

 

[Poison]

Underdaaag

 

[USIND]

38/2 after 7.

 

[Sledger]

38/2.
