India (251/6) defeat England (248) by 4 wickets to go 1-0 up in the 3-match ODI series

India will probs win this match. England isn't as strong as I thought it was.
 
First of all, T20 is a non-serious Micky Mouse format. Mostly casual fans care about it. Aren't you the same guy who was doing chest thumping about Test before? Since India haven't had a good time in Test recently, you are now suddenly a T20 fan.

:qdkcheeky

BTW, "young Indian T20 team" haven't been tested properly yet. They have mostly played at home against depleted sides and also in Zimbabwe.

Stop crying..

Good to see Jaiswal in and Kohli out....

This is just a test run to see which of the two among Jaiswal, Gill and Iyer should be played in the top 4 for the CT. If Jaiswal and Gill do well, Kohli will go down to no.4
 
Root is also playing.

I hope England score big so we can see where we aee stand before the champion trophy.

I wants india to chase 350 around.

:kp
Chasing a huge score will bring all our weak spots out.no need to hide our actual culprits under any bowling proficiency.
 
Such a lovely stadium . But some country fans/ journalists are hyping a below average stadium

:kp
 
Quarter fit Shami is jagging the ball off the seam even on this pitch. Damn what a miss. Australia would have been clueless against SHami on those juicy seaming tracks.
 
Duckett is key. Get him out quickly in the powerplay and that lineup can be put under huge pressure.

This has been a chasing venue in the past. So, advantage England already.
My bad. England are batting first. So, advantage India.
 
Our bowling looking weak @Devadwal bhai.

What will happen in CT?

Will @Slim bhai's prediction of Bharatiya team getting knocked out in first round come true or what?

Bowling is not bad but still our ODI team has too many passengers .

Yes group stages exist is awaiting for us.

Your spinners are good.

Shami is aging though, i can tell. He isn't finished but writing is on the wall.
 
So India is going in with 8 batsmen. Hope they maintain this template.
But apart from Kuldeep or shami , we don't have any wicket taking options in this bowling attacks .

I think we need to Play kuldeep , Varun in tendon for middle overs to takes rhe wickets

:kp

I don't think they can go with that 7 batsmen template with Jaddu at 7. That is a disaterous line up. His strike rate is like 75 or something down the order. One of the reason why Indian top order collapse invariably leads to loss.
 
Love ODI cricket...much better than T20s. Not sure why posters find it boring.
Lol… Those guys sit on the forum and post comments ball by ball throughout the ODI series. Just watch!

T20 bilaterals at home are the most boring. I prefer the IPL over watching bilateral T20 series. Been watching our so-called IPL stars for more than 10 years—they’re pretty good at bashing in bilaterals on flat tracks but choke in T20 WCs. Never believe these IPL bullies!
 
Missed catch & Four and now top edges gone for sixes .

Luck is with england

:kp
 
I really hope he comes good. We have produced nothing after Shami, Bumrah , Siraj era.
He is rubbish bowler, okay for T20 standards but there also he is not good. After first 4 overs, he bowls like a trundler and can’t trouble the batsmen. Another IPL bully playing under the Gambhir quota
 
Now three boundary in Axar over.

England is all set for 400+ Total

ENG 71/0 in 8 over
:kp
 
It's a pretty flat deck. The question is, will India's batters be able to dish out the same beating to England's bowlers that England's batters are handing to India's bowlers?

We don't have firepower in odi cricket . T20 cricket we have too much but nothing in odi cricket.

:kp
 
And the one guy with some firepower: Pant, is sitting out.
We are playing with outdated approach . it's take long time in T20 to change the approach so after champion trophy we May see new approach in ODI cricket once Rohit, Virat ,Jadeja etc retired .
 
This is why Indian posters were downplaying our chances in CT. This team is extremely mediocre.
I can see it. But I am just having trouble coming to grips with the fact that this is the same team that was just destroying every opposition a little over a year ago at the World Cup.
 
Jaiswal pulled off a spectacular catch. He has pulled off so many blinders in Tests apart from the one MCG test where he dropped sitters which completely changed the course of the match
 
Lol brooks gone .

England is not going to score 350 which i wanted from them

Rana gets 2nd wicket

:kp

Age decline curve can hit you at light speed when you are 35 ish. And 4 guys -Kohli, Rohit, Jadeja , Shami(real age) are all around that or significantly older
 
Brooks is so overrated. I called him a hack but a certain annoying troll named rizwanthet20champ disagreed.

Rachin ravindra is more talented then he is.
 
He played 3 back to back good knocks against Australia. In T20 he did well just against Pakistan. Nobody else.
I said he's gifted. Didn't say he is great in this format. Some of the shots he plays even in Test cricket, very few can play especially off a good length.
 
In the last 10 yeasr India has lost 3 series at home won 14 series


Against Australia 3-2
Against New zealand 3-0
Againsta SA 1-1
Against SL 2-0
Against WI 3-0
Against Engalnd 2-0

In Tests field set is attacking. So he thrives much like how Sehwag thrived.
 
Brook is very gifted but there's no finesse in his batting . Boom or bust
I don't view him as a hack but he's a certified flat track bully.

He's the greatest ftb player in the world, and on flat tracks if you have him, he'll outdated you, but any pitch with a bit of variation he gets out.

Today's pitch is flat and he played a rubbish shot but my point still stands.
 
England needs a hundred runs partnership to score around 350 .

Run rate is good .

Here comes Jadeja in to the attack
:kp
 
Road pitch. England should still get 300 as they bat deep unless they collapse. IN a 50 over game you can trigger collapses. In a way that is how INdia domianted in 2023. They had bowlers to trigger collapses. But pathetic batsmen did not give enough runs in the final.
 
3 down atm... runs are coming but losing wickets is not gonna help
