There is a reason Flintoff is my fav all rounder. Just look at the way he have bowled when bowlers around him were all going for runs.

:))) You still feel the same way now ?
 
387/5. Eng got busted. All the talk of " we will give good fight" went to smoke!
 
Superb play by India, is the pitch flat or are England just bowling as usual?
 
it will be funny if England chase this down, highly doubtful though
 
Y pathan is good but confused...he thinks he's there in Indian team to hit but thats not true...he is far more intelligent than what he showed today.....his time will come
 
Hmm, is carnage the right word for this :))) :)) :))) :)))

And now smash these limeys 7-0 :D

No you are totally right just like you always are in everything you post.

Statistics are irrelevant in cricket, so are runs and wickets. What matters is unsupported and unfounded statements on the interwebz.

India 4/247 now, Flintoff and Harmy double strike

Edit - sorry forgot the score does not matter as it is runs and wickets :D

Yawn.

You projected Sehwag's stats against Australia. fair enough. I replied back that, that old Australian team is no more. The stats you are using dont apply now that the team has changed. Good try to digress though!

Statistics are of relevance if the objects are consistent. for eg. Harbhajan's record against ponting in India, you can keep referring it.

Ah I see. So the fact he has done little against us in 7 years of cricket does not matter because some of our players have changed. Therefore he must be a certainty to smash us next time. Like the logic there.

Ask Bones why he keeps going on with Aus/India stuff when Australia are not involved in the match or discussion. I am just returning serve :D
 
Yusuf Pathan's time will come, he is all hand eye with brute power just a matter of time before he clicks.. Good signs for India, this team should gel together very well when WC 2011 comes up :D.. Meanwhile can someone please post me the highlights of Yuvvi's beastly knock ??????

I said dont use stats because they dont apply now. so you concluded that I am stating that sehwag will score against new australia!

Sorry yes you are right, runs and wickets do not matter in cricket.

If you have 2 players, one with poor average and one with great average they are both equally likely to score runs in the next game in the future.

am not saying hes going to hit 150 , this guy has been in 120s for ages now ..& its good to see him not completely ignoring pace !

Wisely not playing meaningless ODI's.

most likely a team management decision to declare him injured as the selectors have included him in the team ...dont be surprised if even zaheer is declared unfit after 3-4 odi's !
 
dint i tell you guys about munaf ...now wait and watch him taking a diving catch in this match :D

Yaar why waste your good bowlers on meaningless ODI's on flat pitches?

Ishant could well be opening the bowling for India in Tests and important ODI's for the next 10 years.

completely agree...this guy, Munaf, can actually bowl fast in 140s and can easily bowl above 135 without any effort.... dont know who told him to decrease his pace..he can be very effective with that action(good line and length) and good pace

btw did you notice Z.Khan hitting good pace recently..the last spell of his in OZ series was pacy..totally outpaced Sharma hitting 145 for nearly 3 overs (sadly without wicket).. today too he is hitting high 130s... nowadays indians pacers are giving importance to the pace aspect.. wonder thats the reason Praveen Kumar is not playing ??...coz from what i saw, he did nothing wrong to be dropped from the side

YUSUF pathan is a brainless batsman...he's only good for 20 over version

He was sent in during the powerplays, what do you think he was told to do?

Praveen Kumar is a very fine new-ball bowler from what ive seen.

However, he cant be effective at Test level imo. But that cant be the reason the selectors havent included him, cause there also other guys playing who have no Test future.

Amazing knock by Yuvraj, very beastly

England getting spanked big time :))) :))) :))) :)))

They are currently 40-4

KP on 5* and Mackem yet to get off the mark
 
Largest margin of victory is 290 runs.

Can India beat that?? I hope so
 
Didn't even realize how quick Yuvraj knock was in terms of history. the 9th quickest ever. There's a big disparity between the top 5 and the rest. 5th quickest is 48 then jumps to 62.

Im not so sure, i think thats what KP will be aiming for - he knows victory is out of the question, just trying to avoid big time baysthee
 
Last week they got trashed by a third-grade Mumbai team. I thought it was one off match.
But today again they are putting up a "burmuda"ish performance. Is something horrible wrong with England Cricket?
 
This guy can be really good

Relax Bhai this is just one game and this is the same team that beat us 4-3 in the shorter version a while ago.They have the depth in their batting and bowling and will come back harder at us but yet again impressed with Dhoni's change of bowlers...

But today's performance was no doubt one of the most forgettable for Eng bowlers. Not that only Yuvi caused the havoc single-handedly. Almost every indian batsman had a nice time today (barring YP of course).
 
Yuppie !! Eng bundled up already !!

England require another 311 runs with 5 wickets and 32.2 overs remaining
 
Genuinely, I thought England had it back after they beat the Saffers.
 
Kevo will get a hundred today methinks, and if partners hang around with him, possibly 150 odd.
 
Dhoni is jokessss.... Peterson played ball between two players and Dhoni was like "Rohit, Bhaag..Jo Tejj Baghega, Woh Pehle ball tak Pahunchega"....haahahhaha
 
Wow thats some fightback by KP and now Patel joining in. Audience witnessing a 20-20 style ODI.
