India vs England | 4th ODI | 23rd January, 2013 - Mohali

[style_guru]

With Rohit 'Talunted' sharma as the opener, England are surely gonna get 1 wicket within first 3 overs.

 

[Varun]

Typical Gambhir ODI mode, looks scratchy but hits the odd boundary.

 

[Varun]

Bresnan against Sharma, this should be fun either way.

Pity, wanted to watch Dernbach getting smashed as always.

 

[Varun]

Sweet.

 

[Varun]

Rohit looks good, but needs to carry it for a big innings.

 

[Munna]

only 1 boundary since july for the maggi boy.. and that too just 2 min back

 

[Varun]

That Lenka "Everything at Once" track has been done to death in that Windows commercial.

 

[Varun]

All Rohit needs is a solid 40 or a half-century and the axe will get more and more blunt.

 

[Varun]

Either way, he's not an opener.

 

[Munna]

so india drops rahane but keeps bringing back sharma after a horrible series he had in sri lanka

 

[Varun]

Overthrow, shoddy.

 

[Varun]

Ha no wonder. Fielder was Patel.

 

[battler]

i just checked sir jaddu's bowling average in odi's it is 34.28 overall.
but in 12 matches against england it is a legendary 19.86)
certified england basher!!

 

[Varun]

Gets it right finally, Gambhir. Boundary #2.

 

[Varun]

certified england basher!!

Exactly, he's been beating up on England.

 

[Varun]

Come on Rohit, concentrate!

 

[Varun]

Karma for the Cook decision.

 

[James]

Gauti is so poor

 

[Saurav]

GG out.poor decision

evens out

 

[leatherface58]

Gambhir is a true passenger. Rahane has failed for 3 games, Gambhir for 3 years!

 

[Varun]

Bresnan is bowling well, oddly.

 

[battler]

Gauti is so poor

wrongly given out by biased umpire

 

[dadabhai]

Shocker from Steve Davis - ball no where near Gambhir's bat. Wonder if James and the pakistanis on here have a problem with it? Will Beefy and co consider this decision disgraceful or justice?

 

[Varun]

Rohit leaving well, way to go.

 

[Saurav]

James,was that a good decision

 

[dadabhai]

Yes he was so poor he fished at the delivery and missed it. Still was given out though. Bet you are okay with this decision though, only Indian umpires are crap.

Gauti is so poor

 

[Ravi.]

Pak and English fans wont have any problem now.

 

[Varun]

Shocker from Steve Davis - ball no where near Gambhir's bat. Wonder if James and the pakistanis on here have a problem with it? Will Beefy and co consider this decision disgraceful or justice?

The Pakistani rebuke would be that we were asking for it because we didn't opt for the DRS.

James, who cares.

 

[Varun]

Sweet pull that. Not quite off the middle though.

 

[Varun]

Don't think Rohit has a back-foot version of the pull at all.

 

[dadabhai]

Pak and English fans wont have any problem now.

They will now just say "India's fault for not using DRS", as opposed to previously when decisions went India's way where this was some BCCI plot.

All rather pathetic but to be expected.

 

[James]

Justice is served.

 

[shan]

Good call by umpire, need couple of more to even out.

 

[Varun]

Gash Ganguly commentating now. Mr. Robot.

 

[leatherface58]

KP drops. Rohit survives the Umar Akmal shot

 

[Varun]

Love ya, KP.

 

[Ravi.]

Good call by umpire, need couple of more to even out.

No no. Atleast 5-6.

 

[Varun]

But come on Rohit, grow a brain. You're an Indian batsman, you don't play shots like that at this stage.

 

[AdidasBeard]

Haha Great celebrating from Bresnan and Buttler conned the umpire who cant hear nicks (or lack of), and karma is restored

 

[TM Riddle]

rohit making bresnan look like a world class bowler .

 

[TM Riddle]

pujara should have played instead of Sharma..

 

[TM Riddle]

even crowd wants rohit to get out

 

[Varun]

That was hilarious.

 

[TM Riddle]

good over from Finn so far .

 

[James]

Our boys bowling well, keeping it down to 3 an over early on is outstanding.

 

[TM Riddle]

rohit smacks Finn for 4 .

 

[leatherface58]

Rohit plays the pull well.

 

[TM Riddle]

hell he got single on last ball again.

 

[TM Riddle]

bresnan appealing lol

 

[Varun]

30/1. Okay start.

 

[TM Riddle]

lol what a shot by Sharma..pulled away for 4

 

[AdidasBeard]

Actually I think we need another one for justice to be served. Cook = Gambhir + Rohit

 

[easy_like_sunday]

Come on England

 

[TM Riddle]

glad he didn't take single this time of last ball..35/1 after 10

 

[tonymontana10]

virat kohli loooool

 

[Varun]

Need an uptick on the run-rate here.

 

[Varun]

Rohit's defence is solid.

 

[tonymontana10]

kohli is a joke of batsmen honestly ahahha

 

[TM Riddle]

kohli survives haaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[tonymontana10]

this kohli belongs in a circus he gives me alot of laughs ........wot a crap player that was a joke of a shot

 

[Varun]

On another day, it would've been the usual Kieswetter cock-up.

 

[Varun]

Pakistan territory's not far from Chandigarh is it? England clearly hopped by their fielding and catching school on the way in to Mohali.

 

[Varun]

Dernbach!

Should be fun.

 

[Varun]

Starts off with a slower ball. What a surprise.

 

[tonymontana10]

indias donkey fielding eee ohhh raina sharma ee ohh

 

[James]

Last chance saloon for Jade

 

[Varun]

These cut shots are orgasmic.

 

[tonymontana10]

cmon england

 

[Varun]

Nine runs off his first over.

Bet he'll be back for another trundle next game though.

 

[Varun]

The biggest free ride in international cricket, Dernbach.

 

[Varun]

29 (40), that's a start Rohit.

 

[Varun]

Patel in with the ball. England's fielding has thus improved.

 

[James]

Honours even so far. Let's slow them down with some wickets.

 

[Ravi.]

Not a bad start but little slow..

 

[Varun]

Ganguly: Dernbach has not been in the best of form.

Eh?

 

[Varun]

Whack, pressure on the Patel.

 

[tonymontana10]

dernbach bowling no wonder easy run for kohli ..................

 

[Varun]

When was the last time this Patel guy even took an ODI wicket?

 

[Varun]

Watching Dernbach's bowling is like staring at a highlights reel.

 

[Varun]

Wide!
