[James]

Patel is playing a gem, good point from Collingwood that he is able to compete with these fitter fellas because of his underrated cricket brain

 

[MarkCooper]

Patel is going fast because he doesnt want to miss the warm buffet at half time

 

[mosh101]

Indian smashing indians what a treat

 

[Pak_Lover]

Ishant has been really expensve today

 

[mosh101]

[mosh101]

[mosh101]

Need to make a thread ! Patel vs Afridi

 

[Pak_Lover]

India has to lose this one as well In Sha Allah

 

[mosh101]

Patel hahahhahahaha

 

[Pak_Lover]

OMG... patel has played gem of the inning here

 

[akamaka]

Indian Bowlers being put in their rightful place

 

[mosh101]

Hats off to patel !!! Totally owned the indian bowling attack at the death !!

 

[James]

Great innings from Patel! 44* (20). And people think you should discount not outs LOL!

Total will still take a lot of defending though.

 

[Saurav]

pathetic pathetic stuff,Dhoni loses it wen it matters the most

 

[malakian]

Haha, i told you guys that England would smash India to bits, even our 'B' team is vastly superior.

 

[mosh101]

Momentum with england ! Should be a good chase !!

 

[Pak_Lover]

Patel..... wow .... i mean wow ....giving some pain to Indians

 

[rooster]

What a shot by Fatel. If he can play like this he certainly have a place in the team, he's certainly not good enough with the ball to hold a place in the team not even upto Jadeja's bowling standard.

 

[Pak_Lover]

England shouldnt lose this on now...target is huge and their bowlers are miles better than sharmas , dindas and kumars

 

[battler]

Haha, i told you guys that England would smash India to bits, even our 'B' team is vastly superior.

hold ur horses there.india is yet to bat.

 

[IAJ]

Ishant Sharma missed out on what would have been a well deserved century there.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Haha, i told you guys that England would smash India to bits, even our 'B' team is vastly superior.

I am glad you decided to show up after England posted a big total...

Looking at the pitch, it looks like 325 is not enough...

If one of the top 2 goes on to make a 100, it will be easy chase.

 

[malakian]

hold ur horses there.india is yet to bat.

India have got no chance of chasing this down, no chance whatsoever. You can put your house on it.

I expect India to be bowled out for around 220ish.

 

[mithun_minhas]

England shouldnt lose this on now...target is huge and their bowlers are miles better than sharmas , dindas and kumars

Dernbach?? Tredwell?? Bresnana? Patel??

ROFL

 

[JibranAnsari]

India will chase it , he pitch looks like 350+

 

[MarkCooper]

In 900 ODI's, england have lost after scoring 325 twice before.

 

[James]

Yeah let's not be accumulating the chickens yet, our bowlers are rubbish

 

[mithun_minhas]

India will chase it , he pitch looks like 350+

Out of form batsmen...

This is the pitch Gambit can hit form.

 

[talha3]

In 900 ODI's, england have lost after scoring 325 twice before.

Silly stat. Why don't you state how many times they have scored 325?

 

[Pak_Lover]

Dernbach?? Tredwell?? Bresnana? Patel??

ROFL

They certainly are better than dindas , kumars etc atleast for a neutral fan like me

 

[GuruG]

what a bowling Yaar

 

[malakian]

Yeah let's not be accumulating the chickens yet, our bowlers are rubbish

The only rubbish bowler we have is Dernbach, he needs to go away. Finn is an absolute gun & Tredwell is highly underrated. Bresnan hasn't been in great form recently but he's certainly not rubbish.

 

[James]

'That must be one of the best overall batting displays by England in a one day international.'

LOL no it wasn't - it was alright. I hate the Barmy Army Facebook page. Unliked.

 

[Zahid87]

India have got no chance of chasing this down, no chance whatsoever. You can put your house on it.

I expect India to be bowled out for around 220ish.

This should be funny.....

Expect you to disappear a few overs into the chase

 

[malakian]

This should be funny.....

Expect you to disappear a few overs into the chase

Fancy a bet?

 

[Saurav]

yeah the match is lost.too big a score.England will have to be very poor to lose it from here.should win easily

 

[Pak_Lover]

Match will be tough though ... Big innings is due on kohli and gambhir after Pak series but I hope England wins in the end

 

[Saurav]

Out of form batsmen...

This is the pitch Gambit can hit form.

he'll make even this look like Perth

 

[Amjid Javed]

Flat wicket and pretty average sized ground i think england have made 15 runs more then what id see as Par on this surface. I think they will need to bowl well to restrict India here as i expect the Indian batsmen to find batting conditions just as easy as england did.

 

[90MPH]

325 is a good score but not a match winning one on this ground.

It might will become a tight game.

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

india to loosee inshallah.. commonnn England!

 

[Kwremb]

This is a 400 ground, England might fall short here

 

[James]

The Finn is the key

 

[Sherlock]

India have every chance to pull this chase off, considering the lack of top class bowlers England have.

No Swann and Anderson is a huge loss.

Early wickets will more or less dent India's chase though.

 

[TestCricketFanatic]

England are 1.5 on betfair to defend this... price seems about right to me. England 67%, India 33% at this stage.

 

[Zahid87]

Fancy a bet?

lol i don't mind....

but i don't expect you to honour it, truth be told.

As I said, history tells us that you won't turn up unless England are on the winning side.

 

[James]

55-45 England IMO, can't call it

 

[MarkCooper]

England 5-0 Whitewash - mass suicides will follow in Bombay.

 

[Kwremb]

Jadeja looks like a better bowler than Ashwin to me.

 

[IAJ]

This is a joke of a ground to be honest. You touch the ball and it races over the boundary. Mishits carrying easily over the ropes.
India have a chance to chase this down if they start off well. But if England get some early wickets and with over 300 on the board it will be difficult for India.

 

[malakian]

lol i don't mind....

but i don't expect you to honour it, truth be told.

As I said, history tells us that you won't turn up unless England are on the winning side.

England are always on the winning side. The losses to SA & Pak were a slight blip, but now the dressing room issues are fixed, England will once again dominate the sport.

 

[Zahid87]

Got to remember that a Delhi XI chased 290 odd against England the other day pretty comfortably.

Lost the other warm up game too I think

 

[TM Riddle]

rahane hits a 4

 

[TM Riddle]

4 off the Finn's first over

 

[TM Riddle]

Dernbach's got a real cool haircut

 

[Saurav]

Finn needs to be penalised for that knocking off thing

good first over though

 

[TM Riddle]

[TM Riddle]

English bowlers have got a good pace compared to their Indian counterparts ..can make a difference
