What's new

India defeat England by 3 wickets in the 1st ODI

Didn't see a ball but I've maintained that this England side has guts and goes for the jugular

However the bowling is second rate. All can be taken for the cleaners
 
We can't chase this against their bowling attack. We don't have batsmen like the Buttlers and the Stokes and roys.

What special with that lineup,most of them will be taken into cleaners unless something strange happens

Chasing 350 anywhere in the world is hard but with arguably the best chaser in the history it won't be a huge task at home
 
Not Surprised at all with England peformance. England are great ODI side. But India will not go down fighting.
 
What is the highest target india have chased

Don't know exactly, but I remember India chasing down 350 twice in a series against Australia, in 2013 I think. Kohli scored a 50-ball hundred in one of those.
 
Still backing India to chase this though, tbh. Nearly 7 AM here, check back with y'all in a couple.

Lol. England had a below par performance and India's bowlers still got smashed. This series is going to be a batting shoot-out.

Below par?How do you judge that.Because Pakistani bowlers smashed for 440 and Indian just 350?
 
Well atleast we didn't concede 440 odd like our parosis did. :srini #moralvictory

That was our 'B' bowling attack, this is your 'A' attack.

Yeah, exactly. Dhoni and Kohli are only good for chasing down 300 scores against poor bowling attacks. They're going to choke today. :sanga

Because Root played a poor innings, Hales didn't fire and no one got a century. These are the best bowlers India has and they got creamed at home. We were playing away and were playing our 'B' attack.

The bowling attack that consists of Amir, Wahab, Yasir, Hasan Ali is "B" while the attack that is missing Shami and Bhuvi is "A". Yeah agree.

OD's in india have been full of 300+ scores in the past few years. Pitches are made to murder the bowlers. Just checkout that Australia series a few years ago. You can hit through the line and get max reward for it.
 
Yes seriously.Dhoni would still have a lot of say on the field and kohli would respect it.I am not saying this has happened in case of ashwin bowling negative lines but its a possibility especially since dhoni used to do that during his reign

Why didnt Kohli tell him to attack?Whats the point of him being captain if hes gonna respect whatever previous skipper does
 
Ashwin was never a great ODI bowler. Was even outperformed by Zamba in IPL and often gets smashed by Maxwell. He always bowled negative lines in ODI which reflects his average stats. Should have picked our best ODI bowler Mishra. Mishra Bhuvi Shami are three of the best ODI bowlers we have. All were missing for this match. Umesh should be restricted to only tests. He is horrible in LOI like Ishanth. Thought Kohli was judicious enough in getting the combination right for each format.

Your posts at times are embarrassing and make our fans look beyond foolish.

We had our A attack against England and still got smashed.
 
Eng are gonna want to have Kohli and Dhoni's wickets to maintain a win here.
 
What are these bowlers doing?

350...I Am fed up.. Our so called ashWIN, embarrasses us..

Our neighbours' spinners bowled much better in AUS, and our spinners getting tonked in these pitches
 
Is there any dew on ground, because look like England will win by 50 plus runs
 
What are these men doing?

Chasing 350 and scoring at 2.50...competing with Pakistan it seems..

Kick this Rahul and Dhawan out.. Bring Raina.. At least he'll look to score
 
Rohit coming back would do well for such flat pattas.

But I wonder with Dhawan being a clutch ICC player, if we should let him continue till CT.
 
I m turning off my TV...

These batsmen fit for nothing..

Bowlers, the least said the better...

Dhawan, Rahul, yuvi...
 
Kohli the master chaser needs to score 200 if India wanna chase this down lol.

Had Rahul stayed at the crease, Kohli's job would've been easier.
 
Kohli's positioning of his feet to give himself space to work the ball around is excellent. Great use of the wrists too.
 
From last few games it seems like only kohli and dhoni knows how to make runs...
 
England miss someone like Mark Wood who provides pace of 90mph+ and can make something happen even on flat decks.

Willey's given them the start they need. Both openers gone in just 2 overs. What's important is now Woakes and Co. trying to get Kohli. If they get Kohli, then they win. If Kohli stays, India wins 100%.
 
Poor stuff from openers. Shocking start. Upto Kohli, Yuvi now.
 
Never understood why selectors keep picking Dhawan. His batting is total fluke, has always been the case.
 
Now keep watching till 30th over. Don't think any wicket will fall... And not many runs gonna be scored too
 
Dhoni hid behind yuvi.So much for coming up the order and expressing himself without captaincy pressure. Dhoni was always an accumulator . High required rate chases he always try to hide behind others.
 
God.. what has happened to dhoni... Such changes in just one ODI... Till last game everyone was fine.
 
One man army Kohli

This one man army will need to make 200 tonight, if India are to even get close to the total...

and he is capable of producing such an innings, only if he doesn't run out of partners before that...
 
I hope Kohli realises after this loss who need to be booted out even if they are your friends. Just a 3 match series so good prep for CT don't mind losing if it results in our odi team revamp.

Yuvraj was not the problem here. He was looking fluent. What about dhoni? Dhawan?
 
Feel for kohli though. He absolutely hate loosing and is never complacent about that and rest of team just not good
 
Even afridi looks good while hitting, rather it's how you go about t chase..

His Aggressive 15 doesn't do any help..

yes he might be good, but no way he's going to be der for 2019 wc, then why carry him?
 
I mean both of them plus Umesh and Pandya.
Pandya bowled well I think considering the wicket. He is constantly improving. Umesh was bowling filth.Problem is selectors aren't ready to experiment much in bowling department bring ing in youngsters
 
Pakistani commentators need to learn from Indian commentators.
They are hardly criticizing their team or players.

Even when English ( i think was Nasser) started to talk abt how negitive Ashwin bowled today and how it was disappoing to see him today, Indians shift to team management only, nothing abt Ashwin or captain's planning/field placings.

Ashwin is India's next best ODI bowler next to Shami.

In terms of clutch performances across LOI tournaments, Ashwin is India's best ODI bowler by a mile post 2011.

I like how narrative easily changes based on 1 game where he was garbage.
 
Should have picked another pacer instead of Rashid, he's useless and overrated.

I want a Kohli double ton
 
We just need to preserve wickets and keep going.

This chase ain't over yet.

When you play with Dhoni and Yuvi, a middle order collapse or momentum suck was always round the corner.

Nasser is being bitter, full of praise for Rashid who is a nothing bowler

Exactly.

The fault lies with him and him alone.

Pig headedness and nothing else.

Even English commies are saying he over thought this. :)))
 
Rahul has disappointed me more than anyone else,doesn't seem to take his chances seriously guess he is backed by Kohli.

Nah Nasser is a very good commie who appreciates good performance.

So many instances where he could have been super biased in test series but he chose to take a view that was the right one.
