England vs India | 5th ODI | Cardiff | 16/9/11

[Square Drive]

:4! Get Dhoni out now otherwise my statement is wrong...

 

[nads_rocks]

Dhoni has been really lucky with these boundaries. Another ball going wide and he hits it for

 

[IAJ]

get's away there

 

[nads_rocks]

298 is what they will get!

 

[Square Drive]

Dot!

 

[IAJ]

Patel drops again

 

[akheR]

Samit P.A.T.E.L. dropping catches for India.

 

[USIND]

Yeyyyyyy Dropped ...Patel

 

[nads_rocks]

Samit Patel AGAIN!!! Dropped!

 

[Square Drive]

Dropped!

 

[RWAC]

Thank you Samit Patel!

 

[akheR]

That was brutal.

 

[IAJ]

Lols, a costly miss!

Brother 300 is up. Go to sleep now

 

[srh]

Samit Patel has dual citizenship

 

[USIND]

 

[nads_rocks]

Damn you SAMIT!!!

and 301-6!

 

[Square Drive]

:6, Because of Samit, I'm wrong.

 

[USIND]

Dhoni you beauty

300 up

 

[USIND]

I'm loving it

 

[nads_rocks]

Samit Patel showed his loyalty there the idiot!

 

[USIND]

 

[RWAC]

Dernbach

 

[Square Drive]

!

 

[akheR]

Dernbach should be MoM for India.

 

[USIND]

lol

 

[IAJ]

death bowler? Sure!

 

[nads_rocks]

another

 

[Square Drive]

Another wide! $h1t!

 

[IAJ]

50 from Dhoni, from 26 balls! What a player!

 

[RWAC]

304/7 after 50. Well played Dhoni. Got a 50.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

How did this overweight Samit Patel made it to the team ) can't bat, bowl or field !!

 

[USIND]

304

 

[IAJ]

Target 305 for England!

 

[nads_rocks]

304-6 in 50 overs and 50 for Dhoni off just 26!

Chase is now on 305 to win!!!!

I still favour England to chase this down. One of either Bell or Trott need to make a century though!

 

[USIND]

Dhoni's 50*

Best innings

DHONI

 

[USIND]

Rain started.

 

[Square Drive]

India favourites? With their bowling attack, no.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Big chase ! won't be easy for England.

 

[Square Drive]

Ok, gtg Jummah prayer.

 

[QazzarFan]

brilliant Dhoni

bad day for Samit Patel ....let's not make insulting remarks

 

[Love Pakistan]

Lets see if 304 is enough for England!

I think it is.

But the ball will be wet and India doesn't have many good bowlers so you never know.

Early wickets is the key.

 

[srh]

3 Patel playing for India in this match: P Patel, M Patel and S Patel

 

[nads_rocks]

Cook and Kieswetter need start on a flier!

Bell needs to come in at no.3 with Trott otherwise Trott will get bogged down and rr will climb up!

Bopara needs to make atleast 70 odd.

 

[Love Pakistan]

3 Patel playing for India in this match: P Patel, M Patel and S Patel

Hahahahha..... :ahmed

 

[nads_rocks]

Game to be restarted at 7pm

 

[Love Pakistan]

Rain is back!

 

[nads_rocks]

Looks like Duchworth Lewis will play a part in todays game too!

England need to stay ahead of the rr and D/L as well which makes it even more difficult!

 

[IAJ]

What a joke this D/L is. They have reduced the overs by 3 but the target by only 9 runs!

England will need 295 from 47 overs!

 

[IAJ]

^ rain is back so the target will probably be revised again.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Oh man this series with rain interrupting all the time has been such a waste

 

[nads_rocks]

Play delayed till 7.30pm now

 

[imshally81]

from Cricinfo

7.07pm: According to SKY, play will resume at 7.30pm. So we're in store for more revisions. The target has been revised to 270 in 40 overs. So there we go.

 

[Strike!]

The target has been revised to 270 in 40 overs. That seems pretty tough.

 

[nads_rocks]

Sky Sports showing previous tours of England vs India.

What ever happened to the pacers England had before.

Steve Harmison
Matthew Hoggard
Simon Jones - He was a good bowler

Where are they all now?

England had some great bowlers who seem to have vanished into thin air.

 

[nads_rocks]

What stupid revision is that?

10 overs docked with just 35 runs off the target

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

With Trott in the side, India is winning the match for sure. Killing me softly

 

[imshally81]

the target has been revised to 270 in 40 overs. That seems pretty tough.

wth !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Lara400]

Looks like India will be saved by the rain again

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Really hope Cook scores a ton today

 

[imshally81]

What stupid revision is that?

10 overs docked with just 35 runs off the target

So indianz also tempered D/L rule after hawkeye

 

[Love Pakistan]

40 overs match now... England need 270 from 40...

 

[Sledger]

40 overs a side, 270 required.

 

[nads_rocks]

Cook and Kieswetter need to give England a good start and Trott should not come ahead of Bell in this chase!

Bell or Cook to make a century with Bopara chipping in with atleast 60 or 70 odd

 

[insaftak]

LOL @ reducing 35 runs from 10 overs. This D/L system is stupid.

 

[Sledger]

That equation really favours India. Almost 7 an over needed.

 

[nads_rocks]

So indianz also tempered D/L rule after hawkeye

They want to win so badly, they are desperate.

 

[velu]

hope we ll get a win..
cant take PPers making fun abt 8-0 for another 3 years

 

[Love Pakistan]

England would need a very fast start to the innings!

 

[MRSN]

This is where people think D/L has flaws in it.

 

[Sledger]

270 in 40 overs will be very hard, only 4 overs of PP too. India favourites for once!

 

[nads_rocks]

Sanjay feels the D/L has not helped India

What the hell do they want!

 

[Lara400]

hope we ll get a win..
cant take PPers making fun abt 8-0 for another 3 years

No fun in 7-1?

 

[Sledger]

What is Sanjay on? Stop being such a wrist slitter..

England's best bet is to get ahead of d/l and stay ahead then hope for rain.

 

[insaftak]

Sanjay feels the D/L has not helped India

What the hell do they want!

LOL @ Sanjay.

How about someone break one leg and one arm of England players. That should satisfy him.

 

[Sledger]

Kieswetter will need to make a quick 50.

 

[nads_rocks]

This calculation is very very harsh and unfair on England!

 

[Sledger]

Express Munaf to open the bowling.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Rain

 

[nads_rocks]

Munaf Patel looks like a very very young Amrish Puri.

He won't have a problem getting a villians role in a movie!

 

[IAJ]

Some lovely averages for Vinay Kumar there
