India convincingly beat England by 50 runs in the 1st T20I at Southampton

[JaDed]

Big occasions like semi final of a world cup?

Or India vs Pakistan 2021 dud of a player.

 

[Champ_Pal]

England being made to look like a pretty pitiful IT20 side here, lol. India dominating

Couldn't swing the ball when it mattered in Tests.

 

[Ahmed216]

Hardik Pandya the man who delivers vs big teams and on big occassions. Does it again for his team.

2 wickets in an over, WoW! A fifty with bat in middle order.

Definition of a genuine all rounder. All hail Pandya!

Pandya is very good. An all format asset for India.Still not fully convinced about his bowling but does seem to have improved

 

[Champ_Pal]

Commentators comparing B.Kumar with Jimmy Anderson

With the new ball, Bhuvi is as good as Anderson.

 

[sweep_shot]

England are probably losing this one by a big margin.

 

[JaDed]

Couldn't swing the ball when it mattered in Tests.

Exactly , I couldn’t careless about results here , was hoping Arsh can atleast improve his darn speed.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Swing through the air. Bounce not very consistent. Batting hasnt been easy in the 2md innings Powerplay

 

[fight_club]

India PP bowling is just outstanding. English looking embarrassing

 

[Rajdeep]

With the new ball, Bhuvi is as good as Anderson.

Yeh kuch zyada ho gaya

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Or India vs Pakistan 2021 dud of a player.

Will he gift his bat to Babar Azam and motivate him to get an IPL contract?

 

[JaDed]

Old DK would had caught that.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Malcolm Pandya unplayable.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Dinesh Karthik as a keeper batsman gives India an extra bowling/batting option.

 

[JaDed]

Will he gift his bat to Babar Azam and motivate him to get an IPL contract?

worst was him advertising that he gave his bat my goodness , we need an emoji for him someday [MENTION=93712]MenInG[/MENTION] the great Indian sobers.

 

[Ahmed216]

Good decision at the toss from Rohit

 

[fight_club]

Roy, ugly struggle comes to an end mighty Pandya, someone please dial bazzball

 

[sindhiboy]

Woah, looks like india should've played this team for the test

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

worst was him advertising he did that my goodness , we need an emoji for him someday [MENTION=93712]MenInG[/MENTION] the great Indian sobers.

We can have a dozen emojis for Pandya's face expressions.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Yeh kuch zyada ho gaya

Its a fact. For some odd reason, Bhuvi never plays Tests in away tours to England, SA and Nz.

 

[JaDed]

Atleast Sharma will have better luck with the toss ,fingers crossed.

 

[Ab Fan]

Oh my GOD! Against the best LOI team of this generation, Pandya smoking fire one after another .

3 wickets in 1.1 overs and 51 batting at 5( MSD had only one fifty in his IPL career).Amazing!

bro dud of a game this is, you and me both will be here during worldcup and we can compare lol

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good decision at the toss from Rohit

Looks like it so far.

 

[fight_club]

Just goes on to show what a trash bowling attack England have. India is bowling on a different surface

 

[Rajdeep]

Who is this Brook? Looks like another good find for England

 

[Ab Fan]

Strike comparison in T20Is based on batting position :-

MSD 122
Pandya 150 minus bowling

150 >>> 122

 

[JaDed]

Woah, looks like india should've played this team for the test

And all players would had got tired after qtr period of first session

 

[Rajdeep]

Pandya bowling 144kph...am I dreaming?

 

[Ahmed216]

No attempts at singles from England. Against quality bowling that's asking for trouble

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Few days ago Irish batsman were smacking Pandya left, right and center and here English batsman are thinking Sir Curtly Ambrose is bowling to them.

Hooda and Sky have better strike rates than Pandya.

 

[JaDed]

Atleast for a change we are trying to go for
wickets , a change from the usual dry runs up
approach.

Also Ireland might actually beat English side in a T20..they should play them often

 

[JaDed]

[MENTION=139595]Ab Fan[/MENTION] what is your worldcup probable for us?

 

[Ab Fan]

Delivers against the best. Not as motivated to prove a point vs associate nation. That's a Viv Richards attitude, got bored bowling to them

 

[JaDed]

That’s why he was opening the bowling coz he was “bored”

Touche

 

[Ab Fan]

Hooda and Sky have better strike rates than Pandya.

They don't have 46 wickets to show or have the skills and guts to bowl in powerplay. Very brave and courageous cricketer indeed is Pandya

 

[Rajdeep]

Easy catch drop from Karthik

 

[Ahmed216]

Sooner they get rid of DK the better

 

[Rajdeep]

Moeen Ali loves Southampton...saying it again and again.

 

[Ab Fan]

That’s why he was opening the bowling coz he was “bored”

He tried to find some motivation by taking the challenge of bowling in powerplay overs. As I said, he likes challenges. It is a Viv Richards attitude.

I am closing on this topic now otherwise @Mods will come and say to stick to the match thread

And he flopped in that challenge.

 

[Ab Fan]

And he flopped in that challenge.

Naah, too boring for him hunting Irish batsman. He likes to take on against the best and he did it successfully today with both bat and bowl. Maybe a direct throw coming on field as well or a blinder of a catch

 

[Ab Fan]

Axar is a poor option to Moeen Ali.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Hasan Ali level catching by India. Terrible stuff

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

They have nothing to lose now so they will go after the bowling.

 

[Ab Fan]

Rohit hell bent on ending Axar's LOI career by letting him bowl to Moeen Ali. Why not bowl Hooda instead? Now we have two left handers, will Hooda bowl Axar's overs?

 

[MenInG]

WICKET! Moeen b Chahal st Karthik 36 – England 100-6

Moeen Ali scampers down the ground to Chahal but fails to make contact, and after a minor fumble Karthik regains his composure for an easy stumping.

 

[JaDed]

DK bhai under super stress

 

[Ab Fan]

Three catches dropped by DK. Poor day for him with gloves as well as bat. Had those been taken, Pandya would have had a fi-fer today

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Can't remember the last time England beat us in a T20I series. Even after their 2015 white ball revolution, they have not really beaten India .

 

[JaDed]

Rohit defn is a better captain hopefully his form remains good.

 

[MenInG]

WICKET! Curran c Karthik b Hardik 4 – England 106-7
Hardik gets his fourth wicket! Curran mis-times his slope shot behind and Karthik is there to collect to pile on the misery for England.

 

[JaDed]

Who is our fielding coach, this is some ridiculous stuff.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Three catches dropped by DK. Poor day for him with gloves as well as bat. Had those been taken, Pandya would have had a fi-fer today

DK got bored.

 

[Champ_Pal]

End Test Batting Lineup vs India's T20 bowling Lineup

That would be an interesting watch.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Three catches dropped by DK. Poor day for him with gloves as well as bat. Had those been taken, Pandya would have had a fi-fer today

Even legends struggle when it is not their day.

I trust in DK.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Malcolm Pandya misses his 5'fer.

 

[James]

Eng dressing room looked pretty miserable just then

 

[Champ_Pal]

Good effort by Indian bowling. Arshdeep had a dream debut.

 

[sweep_shot]

Big win.

Getting out Butler for a golden duck was decisive.

 

[MenInG]

Rohit: We played with intent

India captain Rohit Sharma...

"It was a great performance right from ball one, there was an intent shown from all the batters that came out to bat. The pitch was really good so you could back yourself to play those shots as well.

"We tried and played cricketing shots which is always important, it's always important you back your basics and that's what we did really well."

 

[MenInG]

Jos Buttler's tenure as England's official white-ball captain began with a first-ball duck and a 50-run defeat as his side were thumped by a Hardik Pandya-inspired India in the first T20 international at The Ageas Bowl.

Buttler was cleaned up by a swinging delivery from Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the first over amid England tumbling to 33-4 in 6.1 overs and being dismissed for 148 in 19.3 as they set about trying to top India's 198-8.

Hardik Pandya followed a 33-ball 51 in India's knock with four wickets in England's, removing Dawid Malan (21 off 14), Liam Livingstone (0) and Jason Roy (4 off 16) in the early collapse as the hosts faltered against the moving ball.

Moeen Ali (36 off 20) and Harry Brook (28 off 23) rallied England with a fifth-wicket stand of 61 from 36 balls but both then fell in the same Yuzvendra Chahal over, while Hardik picked up his fourth wicket when he had Sam Curran (4) caught behind by wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik.

India were sloppy in the field - Karthik dropping at least two chances - but that did not cost the tourists, who can now wrap up a series victory at Edgbaston on Saturday before the final game at Trent Bridge on Sunday

India will have Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Jasprt Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer and Ravindra Jadeja available for this weekend's matches, with that quintet having sat out the opener having played in the seven-wicket defeat to England in a thrilling Test match at Edgbaston.

Buttler - who has succeeded Eoin Morgan as limited-overs captain - was castled from the fifth ball of the chase as Bhuvneshwar sent down a devilish in-swinger before Pandya accounted for Malan, Livingstone and Roy.

Hardik bowled Malan off an inside edge and had Livingstone caught behind in the fifth over before an out-of-sorts Roy slashed the seamer to third man in the seventh.

Moeen and Brook's quick-fire fifty stand gave England hope but leg-spinner Chahal then removed them both in the space of five balls - Brook caught in the deep and Moeen stumped in ungainly fashion by Karthik - and when Pandya ousted Curran, England's hopes were all but over.

There was still time for India debutant Arshdeep Singh to take two wickets, the seamer removing tailenders Reece Topley and Matt Parkinson as India clinched a comprehensive win.

India had raced to 86-2 in eight overs after skipper Rohit Sharma, back in the side after sitting out his team's Test defeat to England at Edgbaston, elected to bat.

Moeen (2-26) picked up the first two wickets, nicking off Rohit (24 off 14) after his previous two balls had been swept for four, and then forcing Ishan Kishan (8) to top-edge a sweep to short fine leg in an over in which the spinner had been crunched for successive sixes by Deepak Hooda (33 off 17).

Hooda and Suryakumar Yadav (39 off 19) also pummelled leg-spinner Parkinson (1-44) and left-arm seamers Topley (1-34) and Tymal Mills (1-35) - only for Chris Jordan (2-23), the pick of the England attack, to snap the third-wicket stand when Hooda hauled a short off-cutter to Mills at short backward square.

Jordan also accounted for Suryakumar - the batter shown to have gloved a bumper behind to Buttler after a successful England review - but Hardik kept the scoreboard motoring, with Livingstone (1-15) and Curran (0-18) among the bowlers he dispatched.

Hardik, who would have been stumped on 35, off Parkinson, had Buttler been able to gather the ball cleanly behind the stumps, propelled India to 178-5 with three overs remaining

However, the tourists could only muster 20 runs from the final three overs, bowled by Topley, Jordan and Mills, during which time Hardik clothed Topley to deep point, Dinesh Karthik (11) fell to Mills after a superb catch from Curran, and Harshal (3) was run out via a direct hit from Buttler.

That did not matter for India in the end, with Buttler soon trudging off for a golden duck and the visitors storming into a 1-0 series lead.

The T20 international series concludes with matches in the Midlands over the weekend. The sides will first square off at Edgbaston on Saturday and then again at Trent Bridge on Sunday.

SKY

 

[Mp812]

Hardik Pandya reigned supreme with a magnificent all-round performance .

The swashbuckling IPL 2022 winning captain andall-rounder led India's aggressive batting display with a blistering 33-ball 51 and then the pace bowler claimed 4/33, as England were bowled out for 148 .

Some anti ipl fans may have had a nightmarish time beleiving this to be true

 

[PakLFC]

Good win by India. Good performance by all the team not that too many people would care.

 

[The Googly]

Top performance from India!!

 

[hitthestump]

England should not be losing to this India team at home.

The batting will fire but the bowling needs to be better next time.

 

[Ab Fan]

DK got bored.

Consider explaining this. The opposition is England. Dropping so many catches isn't called for. Even the great Rishabh Pant never drops these many catches.

 

[Ab Fan]

Hardik Pandya , India's greatest T20 all rounder

 

[introvert]

Poor David willey ignored again in favor of Sam curran.

Willey is a better swing bowler and should be preferred over Sam Curran as a new ball bowler.

Yep. Better batsman as well
