Group E - England, India, South Africa, West Indies

[Smith]

Didn't he cost $900,000?

He just bowls length.

Height of IPL hype his price tag in that competition. Not only he has no future in this format, but also he is jeopardizing his longetivity in other formats, particularly the longer one, by subjecting himself to huge workload at this juncture in his career. He could have been excused had he reasonably decent in this format. But he is not.

 

[Smith]

Wow, Dhoni is playing to the ****ing gallery by bringing in Yuvraj the piechucker. WTF is Harby and the Jadeja in the team for?

Agreed. But, he is barely 20 years old. Should get experience in this format for another couple of years by playing in domestic T20 competitions.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hmm. Ravi not picking Harbhajan. 'Twas ever thus with our batsmen.

 

[superkingdave]

Few misfields from India helping England at the moment

 

[BoyBrumby]

Poor captaincy to give Yuvraj a 2nd over. One on a hunch, yes, but aside from KP being his bunny he really does bowl filth, as may've been suggested by other parties before.

 

[Sanz]

Becuase Sewag was injured and Rohit was a success... as simple as that

Rohit was a success as an opener ? How many matches has Raina batted in to be declared a failure ?

 

[TT Boy]

That was awful Zaheer.

 

[tooextracool]

Good to see England picking Yuvraj off at 10 an over. Would say that is bare minumum for a part time bowler of his quality.

 

[Smith]

He can do whatever in the IPL as his franchise wishes. But when it comes to the country, he should not make the squad.

 

[four_or_six]

A bonus 20 runs off two overs there, excellent.

 

[ret]

dire fielding .... Ind needs wkts

 

[Smith]

Still England has not run away with the game, yet. But Dhoni really needs to stop thinking from the fans point of view and get in Jadeja asap.

 

[Shri]

Switch hit fail.

 

[andruid]

Switch hit fail.

Harby=legend

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha, Harby spots the change of stance and pulls out.

& Ravi does everything but chop on, doesn't pick the doosra, obv.

 

[zaremba]

Bopara dropped by MS Dhoni.

 

[Shri]

Bopara dropped by MS Dhoni.

That was an inside edge? Just as I suspected.

 

[Smith]

Bopara dropped by MS Dhoni.

Hard one though.

Epic Switch Hit fail there. All bowlers should do the same and the thing would be gone as quick as it came.

 

[TT Boy]

Need to get motoring now. The platform has been set.
