India (133/3) defeat England (132) by 7 wickets to go 1-0 up in the 5-match T20I series

[jnaveen1980]

Buttler is like a rolls royce car at this point. Timing it gorgeously albeit against some rubbish stuffs from Pandya.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Arshdeep would have been handful in Australia where conditions were favoring bowlers. But India went with Rana, Prasidh and Akashdeep.

India did a massive blunder. Arshdeep would have complemented Bumrah like a champion.

He would have been near unplayable at the Gabba.

 

[Devadwal]

He should he select for the Upcoming england test tour.

Arshdeep would have been handful in Australia where conditions were favoring bowlers. But India went with Rana, Prasidh and Akashdeep.

India did a massive blunder. Arshdeep would have complemented Bumrah like a champion.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pandu is not a new ball bowler. He is just a no.3 bowler. Cannot use him here. It is like a cannon fodder

 

[Champ_Pal]

Butler enjoying the pace on the wicket. Easy picking for him.

 

[Devadwal]

Pandya can't be your 2nd pacer .

Four boundries in the over still one Ball is left

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pandu is not a new ball bowler. He is just a no.3 bowler. Cannot use him here. It is like a cannon fodder

Pandya bowling works against inferior batsmen. Not against the likes of Butler.

 

[Devadwal]

18 in the 4th over and England are 35/2 after 4 overs

 

[Devadwal]

Who is going to bowl at the death Overs??

Arshdeep is already bowling his 3rd over in PP.

What a pathetic captaincy lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a starc contrast between Arshdeep and Hardik who bowled 4 leg side half vollies with no fielers there

 

[Champ_Pal]

This feels more like a routine IPL game.

 

[jnaveen1980]

 

[jnaveen1980]

This feels more like a routine IPL game.

Because of the players involved. Buttler, Pandya, Arshdeep, Salt (whose home venue )

 

[Devadwal]

Hahahahaha what a waste of review . Ball was nowhere near the bat

 

[Devadwal]

Arshdeep 3 over 10 runs and 2 wickets

Pandya 2 over 28 runs

 

[jnaveen1980]

Brook lucky 4.

 

[Devadwal]

Lucky 4 for Brooks .

 

[Champ_Pal]

Brook cannot play Varun. He is batting like a headless chicken.

 

[Devadwal]

Superb fielding by reddy. Saved 2 runs

England 46/2 in 6 Over

 

[Champ_Pal]

Reddy Brother great stop.

India giving chances to new faces.

 

[Devadwal]

First six of the match by Brooks

 

[castortroy]

Here comes the chucker.

How has he not been called for his action?

 

[Devadwal]

Here comes the chucker.

How has he not been called for his action?

Here comes the rondu fan's

 

[Devadwal]

Butler smashed for a six z england on the charge

15 runs in 7th over

England 61/2

 

[Champ_Pal]

Axar darting will not work on this pitch. Easy pace to hit. He needs to slow it down like Varun.

 

[castortroy]

No seriously, he clearly bends the elbow and constantly wearing long sleeve

 

[Champ_Pal]

No seriously, he clearly bends the elbow and constantly wearing long sleeve

You mean Axar?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Axar patel is such a freebie bowler.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Arshdeep is a fine bowler. He should be given a run again in tests too.

 

[Devadwal]

Butler is all set for big century . lovely batting

 

[Champ_Pal]

England needs 200 minimum on this pitch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bamboozled him totally. Brook had no clue.

 

[Devadwal]

Brooks Gone. He don't have any game against quality spinners .

 

[Champ_Pal]

As expected Brook has no idea how to play Varun.

Brilliant from Varun. A real asset in shorter format.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Butler is all set for big century . lovely batting

WHen it comes to one man show he is the John McClane from Die hard. Until they see his back they will be on the edge

 

[Devadwal]

As expected Brook has no idea how to play Varun.

Brilliant from Varun. A real asset in shorter format.

He should have selected for champion trophy instead sundar

 

[Devadwal]

Another tulla gone .

England 65/4

 

[jnaveen1980]

They have zero clue against varun. He was clean bowling bwtasmen for fun in South Africa. He is doing again

 

[Champ_Pal]

Livingstone has no idea either which way the ball is spinning.

Varun at his best.

 

[Champ_Pal]

They have zero clue against varun. He was clean bowling bwtasmen for fun in South Africa. He is doing again

Varun will eat these hitters alive any day.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He should have selected for champion trophy instead sundar

Varun had great VH too. Not sure why they left Varun out.

 

[Champ_Pal]

He should have selected for champion trophy instead sundar

Sundar gets a nod because of his batting.

Varun is a poor batsman and a poor fielder too. But his bowling is amazing.

 

[jnaveen1980]

17 dismissals in T20 cricket by Varun. 8 of them clean bowled.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sundar gets a nod because of his batting.

Varun is a poor batsman and a poor fielder too. But his bowling is amazing.

His 10 overs are gold dust given that batsmen can't read him well. SUndar can't give you more than 25 runs at the most.

 

[Devadwal]

I don't think they can score big now. Now butler or bust .

 

[Devadwal]

Sundar gets a nod because of his batting.

Varun is a poor batsman and a poor fielder too. But his bowling is amazing.

Varun need to works on his fielding. That's enough for him to play in ODI cricket.

Kuldeep and Varun 20 overs means team will not score much runs against india.

 

[Champ_Pal]

His 10 overs are gold dust given that batsmen can't read him well. SUndar can't give you more than 25 runs at the most.

India wants its tail also to bat just in case if the game gets too close.

A tail with Varun, Bumrah and Arshdeep, Bishnoi and Shami does not inspire much confidence.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India wants its tail also to bat just in case if the game gets too close.

A tail with Varun, Bumrah and Arshdeep, Bishnoi and Shami does not inspire much confidence.

Kuldeep is there for us. That is why they are not backing him.

 

[Devadwal]

Not out

 

[Champ_Pal]

Varun need to works on his fielding. That's enough for him to play in ODI cricket.

Kuldeep and Varun 20 overs means team will not score much runs against india.

Its a dicey and enticing proposition. Very tough choice.

I would at least have Varun in the squad. He is too brilliant to be left out. Just in case one of the main bowlers is out of form.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Touch and go. I don't think that is not out. That looks more out. Fair enough they give it to batsman.

 

[castortroy]

You mean Axar?

Yes

 

[Devadwal]

Aparts from varun this is great fielding unit

 

[Champ_Pal]

Kuldeep is there for us. That is why they are not backing him.

Tail becomes too long.

Only one of Kuldeep or Varun can play.

I wish Varun works a bit on his batting. He can defend. But cannot hit big. Kind of like Ashwin.

 

[Devadwal]

Ohh umpire Make that decision too early. It was not that easy to give not out.

But it alright

 

[jnaveen1980]

Tail becomes too long.

Only one of Kuldeep or Varun can play.

I wish Varun works a bit on his batting. He can defend. But cannot hit big. Kind of like Ashwin.

Yea. But if it is going to be Sundar you might as well play Varun. Axar bowling is utterly crap. Jadeja total waste.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Yes

Leave him alone man. He does not spin the ball, has no variations and does not have a doosra. He is an out and out darter. He is solely there in the team for his batting.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

England is lagging so behind at the moment

 

[castortroy]

Leave him alone man. He does not spin the ball, has no variations and does not have a doosra. He is an out and out darter. He is solely there in the team for his batting.

So you think it's a legit action?

 

[Champ_Pal]

So you think it's a legit action?

Never paid attention to his bowling. He is a filler and a fifth bowler.

I will watch him now.

 

[Devadwal]

Butler need to play full Over as India don't have any death bowling . they can easily score 60 runs in Last 4 overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

Danger signs. Buttler is biding his time. That is when he is deadly dangerous

 

[jnaveen1980]

So you think it's a legit action?

It is. An action you can associate with any darter who doesn't want to turn.

 

[Devadwal]

Danger signs. Buttler is biding his time. That is when he is deadly dangerous

He has no other option as england don't have much batting left. He has to play full overs .

 

[jnaveen1980]

He has no other option as england don't have much batting left. He has to play full overs .

He calculates as well which bowler to target. Here comes pandya.

 

[castortroy]

Never paid attention to his bowling. He is a filler and a fifth bowler.

I will watch him now.

It's a suspect action and he is always in sleeves that go beyond his elbow in Test matches

 

[Devadwal]

What is Bethell doing?

 

[jnaveen1980]

No issues Buttler scoring and India winning. Like the way he constructs a T20 innings.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Not bad eh? This Indian attack without Bumrah?

 

[Devadwal]

Lol pathetic inning from Bethell.

Pandya strike and England are 83/5

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not bad eh? This Indian attack without Bumrah?

Ya.. Bumrah shouldn't play any T20 internationals except world T20. Even Shami si more important for tests. Was curious to see how his recovery is. Seems like we didn't miss him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a shto from Buttler.

 

[Devadwal]

Too much room for Buttler.

Again same mistake by Ravi bishnoi

 

[Devadwal]

Butler is not taking any risks and still hitting the boundary with ease.

 

[jnaveen1980]

England struggles against spin even in T20 game. This is not a 10th day Test pitch.

 

[Vikram1989]

At this rate Kuldeep won't be in r20s anymore.he will be playing in longer formats only . varun , bishnoi, axar and washi will take care of t20s.

 

[jnaveen1980]

At this rate Kuldeep won't be in r20s anymore.he will be playing in longer formats only . varun , bishnoi, axar and washi will take care of t20s.

Kuldeep career done in T20. He should be there for ODIs and Tests though. He is the only proper wristy India has.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If you can't pick Axar you have to be a terrible player against spin. England has to work on their game agaisnt spin.

 

[Devadwal]

England needs to score 170 here still not good score but They have quality bowling attacks so anything can happen.

 

[Devadwal]

Four byes

And atkinson is gone.

103/7 in 16 overs
