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

As i said in other thread ODIs are statpadders delight. THey just accumulate runs and act like "kings"
 
It appeared a tough pitch especially after 20 overs in the second innings. England, having won the toss, should have scored another 30-40 runs to make this an interesting game. Indian bowlers bowled better on this pitch.

In the next match, I believe Rishab Pant should replace KL Rahul. We need a leftie in the middle order to take on leg spin/left arm spin. We can't rely on Axar in every game.

Iyer was not statpadding, Axar was not statpadding. Gill clearly slowed down and it put needless pressure on others and we lost 3 wickets. If we chase slightly bigger total we would have lost.

Gill played according to the situation. There was no needs to played fast . He is back to the form and this is biggest positive of this match.

What situation. Because this guy wanted a century others were tuk tuking and got out. Playing out 8 or 9 dot balls in a row against Adil Rashid without strike rotation put pressure.

So what was the hurry ? We are won the match and still more than 10 overs left. This is unnecessary criticism .

They should have played as much as balls to back to the form .this is how these game should be used before the champion trophy.

Ex-England wicketkeeper Matt Prior on local sports media outlet:

"You can tell England haven't played 50-over cricket for a while. It's not about not caring, but it was just a bit lackluster."

"That first act of the run-out and the wicketkeeping at the end summed up England's day. The talent is there, the ability is there, they just need to sharpen up."

it is the attitude. Eerily similar to Kohli's attitude of slowing down for 100. He did that right through wc 2023. Everyone said the same "Why hurry". In the semi final as well he was slowing down. Thanks to Iyer we got a good total. This is not the first time Gill has done this. Did the same in T20 whne he was the captain against Zimbabwe. He let Jaiswal, Abhishek play aggressive while he was happily tuk tuking and remaining not out.

England suffer another disappointing defeat in India​


England suffered another disappointing defeat in Brendon McCullum's first one-day international in charge as India won their series opener in Nagpur by four wickets.

On the back of a 4-1 loss in the preceding T20 series, Jos Buttler's England wasted a good start with the bat to be bowled out for 248.

Opener Phil Salt crashed 43 from 26 balls, including 26 from one Harshit Rana over, but his calamitous run-out began a collapse of three wickets for two runs in eight balls from 71-0.

Captain Buttler threatened a successful rebuild before miscuing on 52, leaving Jacob Bethell to bat with the lower order.

The 21-year-old left-hander started slowly and had just begun to open his arms when he was pinned lbw for 51. England were dismissed in 47.4 overs.

India fell to 19-2 in reply but Shubman Gill stuck a fine 87 from 96 balls to take his side to the brink of victory.

They stumbled late on - Gill's dismissal one of three wickets for 14 runs with less than 30 needed - but India still completed their chase with 68 balls remaining.

The second ODI in the three-match series is on Sunday.

After a convincing defeat in the T20s, McCullum now has these three games to turn around England's 50-over side before their Champions Trophy opener against Australia on 22 February.

England come into this contest on the back of three consecutive ODI series defeats and this latest loss was littered with familiar struggles - those which have dogged England's 50-over cricket since they won the World Cup at Lord's in 2019.

There was a collapse – Salt, Ben Duckett and the out-of-form Harry Brook fell in a flurry – before the loss of regular wickets, including the returning Joe Root for 19, meant they were unable to turn the tide.

They were bowled out for the 21st time in 44 ODI innings since the start of 2022.

When their turn to bowl came, Jofra Archer conceded only two runs and nicked off Yashasvi Jaiswal in his first three overs but his next two cost 23. Despite Rohit Sharma chipping Saqib Mahmood to mid-wicket for two, India took 71 from the first 10 overs.

From there, England's bowling was too often wayward and rarely threatening. Shreyas Iyer capitalised to take 59 from 36 balls and a partnership of 108 between Gill and Axar Patel took India to the brink.

Axar was bowled by a fine leg-spinner by Adil Rashid with 28 runs needed, KL Rahul tamely chipped the leg-spinner a return catch and Gill's mis-timed pull went to mid-on.

That only made the scoreline closer look closer than it should have. England were well beaten.

Little went right for England after they gifted India their breakthrough in the ninth over.

After Salt cut behind point, Duckett ambled the first two runs and sent back his partner as he set off for a third. Salt was already mid-pitch and had no chance of recovering before Iyer's return from the deep.

Four balls later, Duckett was brilliantly caught by Jaiswal running back at square leg off Harshit, who then had Brook fending a short-ball down the leg side for a three-ball duck.

Whereas England were spun out attempting big shots in the T20s, this was more a meek slide.

Root went lbw to a quicker one from Ravindra Jadeja before a partnership of 59 between Buttler and Bethell.

Buttler accumulated as Bethell struggled to get going – the England skipper hitting only four fours in his half-century. He could only laugh at his misfortune when he managed to toe-end a Axar's long hop to short fine leg.

The biggest positive for England was Bethell, who overcame his early struggles to reach a second ODI fifty in 62 balls. Liam Livingstone nicked behind and Brydon Carse was bowled swinging at the other end.

Jos Buttler, during the post-match press conference:

"Disappointed not to win the game. We got off to a fantastic start in the powerplay but we lost wickets. Another 40-50 runs could have been handy with the way the wicket played towards the end. The guys started really well. The game was in the balance at that point, but credit to Shreyas Iyer to build that partnership. We have to play better for longer."

This. It's really saddening that we have the resources to dominate every team and tournament out there but are being held back because of greedy and corrupt 'viewer$hip minded' team selection.

Just take the example of this ODI team...just replace the has/never been trio of Rohit - Kohli - KL with any of three guys from SKY's T20 team and we'll look like a ridiculously stronger outfit than this.
 
India made a meal of it in the end just because one guy wanted to score his 100 as a last minute plan
