[James]

Going to the wire!

 

[imshally81]

Yesssssssssssssss.. Raina Gone

 

[Zahid87]

Suresh Raina just played a shot straight into the bowlers hands. Did he not see the bowler? Something fishy here Mr. Nixon?

In all seriousness, the great man Jadeja to bring it home for India?

 

[the Great Khan]

really? England gonna win by miles!!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Going to the wire!

If Dhoni gets out its over for India.

Our tail is way too long.

India played 5 bowlers and one batsman short.

[James]

I'm always cautious with ODIs in India...our last 13 completed reads 12 losses and 1 tie! LMAO

But we're in a good position for sure, thanks to the quality fielding and also Tredwell's performance. 4-44 from 10 overs is excellent.

 

[MRSN]

get Dhoni asap

 

[the Great Khan]

fixed..

 

[MRSN]

one handed

 

[JibranAnsari]

great hitting..fatel under fire

 

[MRSN]

69 from 7 overs

 

[leatherface58]

Bresnan treated as a club bowler

 

[the Great Khan]

err Dhoni putting my prediction to the test. lol

 

[Saurav]

 

[Gone]

If they dont get dhoni out, 350 wont be enough!

 

[JibranAnsari]

India will win with an over to spare!

 

[Maximas]

cmon! 300+ successful chase shouldn't done here with this Dhoni & con team. India gotta loose this.

 

[ussy]

Dhoni is just unreal.. He never gets out and all he does is hit sixes. Not a batsmen like hin.

 

[the Great Khan]

TMS having Dhonigsms

 

[leatherface58]

Dernbach why

 

[ussy]

Huuuuuge wicket

 

[MRSN]

that's the line to bowl Dhoni

 

[the Great Khan]

Dhonigsms end in a whimper!

 

[CalculatedRisk]

 

[Zahid87]

Thats the game....and Dernbach's place in the side cemented then.

 

[leatherface58]

Dernbach redeems himself

 

[mithun_minhas]

India not playing an extra batsman in place of Ishant or Dinda is coming to bite us in the back.

Poor team selection. Pujara or Rohit should have played in this game.

 

[James]

All is forgiven Jade!

 

[the Great Khan]

And TGK is proven right again! India = cant play on flat pitches now either!

 

[Virtuoso]

How many extra batsman you need? Why not use just part time bowlers? This is nothing buy pathetic that in a flat pitch like this you are looking for extra batsman.

 

[prtikul]

Sir Jadeja has to be one of the most fluent batsman in the world.

 

[MattyB]

Tredwell got 4 wickets today!? Imagine what would have happened if we had actually brought a good spinner to play in this match!?

 

[rooster]

Tredwell got 4 wickets today!? Imagine what would have happened if we had actually brought a good spinner to play in this match!?

Still wouldve been 4fer at best.

 

[ethan hunt]

tredwell has never let england down , he`d walk into most sides including india , underrated !!

 

[Virtuoso]

This is still very much possible. All depends on how Ashwin plays.

 

[MattyB]

Still wouldve been 4fer at best.

If Tredwell can get a 4fer then I'm fairly sure that Swann could have got atleast 5, he's miles ahead of Tredwell.

This could be a very interesting finale.

 

[James]

Yeah am beginning to rate Tredwell.

 

[JibranAnsari]

wow :4 , things getting interesting again

 

[mosh101]

Ashwin goneeee ! Finn strikes

 

[James]

Finn's bowled well even on this pitch I'd say.

 

[MattyB]

Wicket!

The difference between the two sides is that our top order kept their wickets so we still had some big hitters to come in for the last few overs. India could have won this with ease if the top order had batted for most of the innings.

 

[Virtuoso]

Best all-rounder of Sub-continent and better than Shakib according to some knowledgeable Indian posters in this forum.... gone!!

 

[mosh101]

Koi nai dinda, bat ki ghalti thi

 

[MRSN]

dot ball
22 off 10 balls now

 

[Lara400]

Bresnan trying to hand it over Pakistan style

 

[MRSN]

Dinda to hit three sixes here

 

[mosh101]

Over 600 runs on this pitch ! Would love to see a t20 game on this one !!

 

[MRSN]

oh damn had he connected well it was a six

 

[MRSN]

India was never in this game after the departure of Rahane

 

[mosh101]

Dinda ki dandiya hila di

 

[James]

A decent delivery from Bresnan, about time too. Been a bag of toss on the whole

 

[Saurav]

those last 2 overs in England innings proving decisive.that was madness from Dhoni

 

[Lara400]

Another loss for the World Champs

 

[James]

Samit's innings and Tredwell's bowling are to thank MotM to either of them would be fine.

 

[GentleMan]

india played poorly and england punched above their weight..still we lose by such a small margin. just shows we are far better than them.

 

[mosh101]

Boundary off the first ball

 

[the Great Khan]

Dhoni MOM.

 

[rooster]

If Tredwell can get a 4fer then I'm fairly sure that Swann could have got atleast 5, he's miles ahead of Tredwell.

This could be a very interesting finale.

Yeah you can say that but taking a 5fer in a flat pitch in india isn't an easy one especially against india.

But Tredswell has been impressive really, performed well everytime been given the opportunity. Unfortunately teams doesnt normally play two offies in same match.

 

[mosh101]

Samit is my MOM

 

[JibranAnsari]

two sixes please

 

[mosh101]

12 from 2 ! Can ishant pull a miandad here

 

[mosh101]

Well done england !!!

 

[rooster]

Samit's innings and Tredwell's bowling are to thank MotM to either of them would be fine.

Are you sure? I think Dhoni will be given the MoM for his 3 sixers.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

india played poorly and england punched above their weight..still we lose by such a small margin. just shows we are far better than them.

Yes, thats pretty evident after the recent test series.

 

[the Great Khan]

easy victory..vorld champions lose again lol..no more ma bhen ki's from kohli lol..

 

[leatherface58]

Samit is my MOM

That I am afraid ain't possible.

Anyhoo, congratz England. Well played India but the last over made the difference.

 

[sada90]

Mom award should be awarded to dhoni lol

Correction

india played poorly and england A punched above their weight..still we lose by such a small margin. just shows we are far better than England A team.

Like I said this morning, Gentleman is a brilliant addition to the forum but his posts on cricket can be uninformed and atrocious.

 

[Saurav]

congrats England

MoM SHOULD BE tredwell

 

[James]

Can't even win in dead pitches now. )

And against an England side who have rested Trott, Broad, Anderson and Swann ) ) )

 

[Saurav]

Samit is my MOM

really?

 

[rooster]

OMG we haven't won an ODI in the last 6 years.

Can we stretch it to 2 matches? 3 matches?

On a serious note, It's a collective performance, for once, by England. All the batsmen contributed and all the bowlers chipped in at the right time, especially Tredwell. It's a complete team performance.

 

[Saurav]

And against an England side who have rested Trott, Broad, Anderson and Swann ) ) )

we rested Sehwag too,otherwise would hv won in 45 overs

As a cricket commo he makes a very good poet!

 

[justarslan]

Congratulations England on beating the fake World Champion.

 

[battler]

Indian batting truely out of form!!when in form we would have chased this done within 45 overs.

 

[akheR]

Congratulations England, and India, well, even deaaaaaaaaaaaad pancakes can't buy you wins so
