Carnage by India. It puts me to shame that a full strength Pakistan team last year to a third eleven English team and here India is demolishing a full strength English team. Tells you where Pakistan stands

Tells you nothing.
India lost 3-0 to Southafrica, a team pakistan easily beat home and away.
Happens in these conditions.
One to one match between India and Pakistan will be a lost closer than you think. England's bowling line up is terrible.![]()
Not really much to read into here in terms of “other series”. India bowled great and played well, but they also won an absolutely critical toss and stuck the England batsmen onto a greentop. It’s just one game. (If it happens again in the series — fair enough.)
No bowling attack is defending 110 stop coping lol. England's batting lineup this game is two levels above...
Pakistan beat a far weaker team in the series decider which was prolly at Zimbabwe level.
India played against pretty much a full strength side barring Rabada and Nortje. Not the same thing.
won the toss, fair enough. Would England made use of the conditions like how India did? I would have said yes, if they had picked up few wickets when their turn came to bowl
The last time you did this type of calculation where A beats B, B beats C blah blah blah, it backfired on you. You didn't learn anything from it.![]()

Shambolic effort.
Baz McCullum as Head Coach in all formats I say!
Even before Baz England was doing well in shorter formats ever since they adopted Morgan's way. He defined that template. But we all know from time to time that tactic failed. On a turning track or seaming/swinging conditions. Baz can take credit for Tests. But that was possible because of two inform batsmen. Same bairstow couldn't put bat to ball last time.
Slow down there lol. I have/had the same calculation every "time" and guess what? I'm right almost 4 "times" of 5. So keep your backfires to yourselves.![]()
Broken clock being right once in 5 games is not "backfiring", sunny.![]()
Baz isn’t the ODI coach. He and Stokes manage the Test setup.
Matthew Mott and Jos Buttler run ODIs.
Finally saw the highlights of this game.
I feel the wicket of Ben Stokes was turning point. That catch taken by Rishabh Pant was absolutely ludicrous. One-handed snorter it was proving why he is the best wicket keeper batsman of this generation.![]()
What these conditons? This isn’t a minefield or a green mamba.
It’s a good pitch with some spice early on exploited by quality bowling.
Sure England have good bowlers too and may not give in easily but no demons here.
Common sense says match is in India’s bag but never say never in sport.
Who actually is Matthew Mott? What’s his claim to fame or qualifications to be the coach of an international team?
Buttler's start to his captaincy tenure has been quite poor.
Although every team has a one off performance like this every few months, but Buttler and Mott need to put their foot down and be more assertive.
Welcome to JosBall.
I think there is a bit of an expectation of overnight fireworks and instant results partly because the McCullum and Stokes appointments have looked like a match made in heaven and the red ball team are now on a winning run.
But those four Test matches as a collective in some ways have been borderline freakishly good. Not everything goes so well all of the time in top level sport.
Jos has done well when he has stepped up to lead the white ball team from the vice captaincy role. His record as full time captain so far, however, is less impressive. England properly had a shocker yesterday and there can be no hiding away from this.
But it’s very early for Jos. The team has a new coach & has just lost its long term captain and middle order stalwart to retirement quite suddenly, and in his absence (Morgan) now England also seem to be in the process of figuring out their best batting lineup/order. The first choice white ball fast bowlers are also all injured - Woakes, Archer, Wood - and the first choice white ball spinner Adil is away for Hajj.
This new white ball setup could take a bit of time to gel. But there are still five more ODIs and three additional T20Is to play this season. I am confident that things will get better soon. Though perhaps not as soon as Thursday…
