[BouncerGuy]

Dhruv jurel should get a game. Rest sanju

England is playing with Full strength team even in the dead rubber game .

 

[DeadlyVenom]

It's a very boring series. The last game will be the most interesting as irrespective of the results of the series this is the match that will carry the momentum going forward.

 

[Devadwal]

May England dominate India like the good old British Empire days.

For this to happen you have to leave this planet .

Agree. It has been a boring series.

But, to be fair, T20 bilaterals tend to be boring. Teams generally don't play their full sides and they experiment.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami is back. But this is not the format where you can check his fitness. He looked only 20% fit last match even for a T20. I have a feeling they are rushing him in.

 

[Devadwal]

Its boring series because india has taken the lead 3-1 . They wanted England to win this series to become intresting.

This Indian T20 team is by far best team in the World .

Today we are not playing any of our Main Pacers

Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak with Suryakumar Yadav and Jos Buttler during 5th T20I between India and England

 

[FearlessRoar]

Jos Buttler during toss: "We have four impact subs in our team."

 

[jnaveen1980]

So far this series is not predictable. "Field first win the match" type of match. Last 2 matches won while defending

 

[sweep_shot]

Jos Buttler during toss: "We have four impact subs in our team."

It seems like Butler took a dig.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Right on target

5 match T20 is too long. 3 match series is exciting.

 

[jnaveen1980]

5 match T20 is too long. 3 match series is exciting.

Commercial reasons.

 

[Rajdeep]

As a proud Bhartiya we simply can't tolerate this insult from Butler. I demand BCCI raise this as a complain to GOI & Modi ji.

 

[jnaveen1980]

oh my wankhede. GIve the match already to England. Teams get destroyed when they field first

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sanju ahs to cut out his pull shot. You cannot pull high pace 150 k ball especially at chest height.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Nice one from Buttler. ICC really need to amend this stupid rule

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sanju pulls archer for six. He was ready.

 

[Rajdeep]

This Indian T20 team is by far best team in the World .

Yeah before the series, @sweep_shot was saying hopefully Eng will win 5-0.

Now he is finding this series boring because India is winning.

 

[jnaveen1980]

As a proud Bhartiya we simply can't tolerate this insult from Butler. I demand BCCI raise this as a complain to GOI & Modi ji.

What did he say? I didn't see him say anything.

 

[Justcrazy]

India would be looking for 180 here again.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Hope Shami looks somewhat decent

 

[jnaveen1980]

Do India have a back up keeper. His finger jammed . If i am right sub keepers are allowed these days.

 

[Justcrazy]

Samson has got hit , but he looks okay.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sanju is not shreyas iyer like player to be bullied by bouncers. But he was out of position last few times.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good tactic by Sanju. He is using the pace.

 

[Justcrazy]

16 from first over , absolute carnage in making .

 

[Devadwal]

Buttler should have asked if any team can use bat deflection when they can't hit a boundary to win the trophy.
#CryBaby

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a good examination for INdian batsmen. One of the very high average pace from any team in my memory.

 

[Devadwal]

16 from first over , absolute carnage in making .

This should be high scoring match .small boundary ,flat pitch and dew factor .

 

[Rajdeep]

What did he say? I didn't see him say anything.

We have four impact subs in our team.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Buttler should have asked if any team can use bat deflection when they can't hit a boundary to win the trophy.
#CryBaby

Aswhin's mankading.. he cried eternally. lol Eventually became his team mate.

 

[jnaveen1980]

We have four impact subs in our team.

India should promote Harshit Rana at 3 and troll him lol

 

[Justcrazy]

This Indian 20 20 team does not care about losing wickets , they looking to keep attacking.

 

[Devadwal]

Samson never learn.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Samson gets out once again. Once again no room

 

[Justcrazy]

Verma in now , another hard hitter.

 

[Devadwal]

@Bhaag Viru Bhaag now he has given 5 match T20 series to prove his place in the T20 team but failed badly.

This is Full strength England team .now hopefully his fanbase will not cry if he dropped From the team .

He is a Brainless player

 

[jnaveen1980]

I have never seen bowlers bowling at this pace from both ends.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Sanju Samson's performances are becoming quite a joke. He keeps getting out to the same shot repeatedly. It’s clear he struggles against high-quality pace bowling.

That is not true. He struggles when he gets tucked up.. That doesn't have to be quick. Actually he timed that shot very well. He did smash Archer for 16 runs in the first over.

 

[Rajdeep]

There should be some method to madness. Indian T20 batters bat like how English test side bats in Bazball era.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sixxxx

Booom

 

[Devadwal]

Archer is getting the phainta

Back to Back over cover by Abhishek

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a six by Abhishek.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Archer demolished

 

[castortroy]

Where do India get these batters from

 

[jnaveen1980]

T20 is for entertainment. We sure get it from the likes of Abhishek.

 

[RexRex]

What a six that last ball whoa..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wood creamed over squaer elg for 4..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Almost every punjab team member aer six hitting beast.. Abhishek is the leader

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abhishek is destroying wood now.

 

[Devadwal]

Now wood is getting destroyed by Abhishek .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Exhilirating stuff

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sanju Samson's performances are becoming quite a joke. He keeps getting out to the same shot repeatedly. It’s clear he struggles against high-quality pace bowling.

Thankfully for Samson, no other team has any bowlers close to Archer and Wood in terms of both pace and ability.

 

[jnaveen1980]

ABhishek is putting on a show

 

[Rajdeep]

What is the score?

@sweep_shot

 

[OldWarHorse]

Abhishek Sharma is ridiculous

 

[jnaveen1980]

50 in 17 balls Abhishek

 

[Devadwal]

Overton is welcome by a back ro back

 

[Smbhayi]

That was brainless shot by Sanju.. I think India not believe in 4s, otherwise that ball can easily glanced for 4.. now 17 ball fifty by Abhishek..

[Rana]

Even Chris Gayle would be proud of some of those smokes off Archer on the off!

 

[castortroy]

This is carnage

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This guy is way better than Saim Ayub

 

[Rana]

Definitely the most watchable T20 batsman going around

Rizwan is the most exhilarating
