England In India - October 2011/12

[ZoraxDoom]

Oh snap, nice work there from Dhoni. Wicket for Kohli.

----------

How is Morgan on strike after a stumping?

 

[Krypta]

Bopara's figures are terrible! How is he still playing?

 

[1iram1]

Are they playing in India? Cause the crowd sounds like it.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

That's a pretty poor bat to fall apart like that.

But yea, <3 Munaf

Bopara and Patel have got themselves into this situation, now they need to get themselves out of it.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Why oh Why couldn't there be a third man...

 

[MUFC1987]

Flukey stuff from Patel. Just not an international standard batsman though I'm afraid.

 

[Krypta]

Bopara's inability to score quickly let off the hook by Morgan and Patel.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

0-5 for India now. Sigh.

 

[0601731]

Wretched luck continues for India.

 

[Aalay]

And that was just bad luck for India. Firstly that wide and than those 2 fours.

What a shame, Alex Hales out for a second ball duck to a ripper from Praveen, while Jos Buttler not even getting the opportunity to hone his finishing skills courtesy of Belowpara's ever defensive nature of batting. I'm was literally Bo-paralyzed once England entered the final over. But there you go, luck combined with some stunning batting collapses in the Indian innings eventually resulting in a much deserving win for England. Dernbach doing the job again with the ball, absolutely loving him in the side!

The Indian Team did provide entertainment to the crowd, by making it a close game.

The Objective now is to entertain and lose well.

 

[Addy]

i wouldnt be surprized if India loses ODI series five - nil. lol

 

[Haarithan]

No way is that happening.

Only two teams have won all 3 formats of a single bilateral tour in cricketing history:

Australia against Pakistan in 2009-10: Tests 3-0, T20 1-0 & ODIs 5-0
England against Pakistan in Aug-Sep 2010: Tests 3-1, T20s 2-0 & ODIs 3-2

The one Australia won was a 'perfect' whitewash. India for sure aren't gonna face that situation. In fact, they start as slight favorites to me ahead of the ODIs. Tipping a 3-2 win for either side.
