India tour of Ireland (2 T20Is) & England (1 Test, 3 ODIs & 3 T20Is)

[NILAYSHAH60]

Saw a great fact that Jos Buttler and Rahul Dravid made their T20i debuts in the same match.

Wickets for Jade Dernbach and Virat Kohli.

How a fight With Krunal Pandya can make you a better cricketer.

Hood Hood Hooda.

Why did Axar bat up the order compared to Dinesh. Dinesh should have been batting and could have got an amazing eye in before going bonkers.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

We will be short of atleast 20-30 runs here.

Our tail order a bit too long.

 

[Velocity]

Pitch is a belter, England will chase it comfortably.

Some really good death bowling from England. Probably didn't help that India lost too many wickets before the death overs either.

Done well to keep that below 200

 

[Bigby Wolf]

230 is what India should have made given the start & tempo they had.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Good to see Ravi Shastri the commentator back.

Those trademark lines - Just the flick of the wrist, All guns blazing etc.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Good start from the new skipper

 

[Bigby Wolf]

That was a peach from Bhuvi.

If only he was fit enough to play the longest version of game.

Good grief, JRoy doesn't look likely to ever lay bat on ball

So far I'm liking our batting approach to T20Is in this 'new' era. Still a long way to go and we're still lacking the courage to sometimes absolutely go for the kill on some of the flattest surfaces but these signs are promising. England's death bowling unit has always had some good ideas lacking execution so I wouldn't worry too much about it in the very first game, it was just their day.

I've always wondered why you were blasting him previously ever since his Ashes stint as he wasn't as awful on paper as you suggested but good golly he looks completely inept in action. Has it always been this way?

He does always look worse than the scores he's making - I remember watching him playing in the Ireland Test, and although he made 72 it somehow managed to look like the worst innings ever played. Even when he's playing well his limbs do go a bit in different directions leaving him to look very uncoordinated.

When he's playing badly though - as he frankly has been since 2019 - it's horrible.
