*Official* England in India

[Daemon]

We..we're..winning...

 

[TopCat]

Yup, we're looking gonners here even against a pretty ordinary Indian attack. Big ask for the lower order to see us home from here.

An atrocious shot got him out too - totally against his instincts IMO.




@king hell what is going on? Bopara out now!

 

[nsniks]

Bairstow also gone, Jadeja has 3

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Some things never change, we are still **** at one day cricket outside England.

 

[grecian]

Old stylee England performance on the S-C, Ashwin and Jadeja being made to look like Murali and Warne.

 

[Cevno]

England struggling against spinners in SC?

Edit - Seriously, though pretty ordinary shots been played.

 

[fredfertang]

Now I'm glad there's no Test series going on - with a bit of luck this little debacle will be gone and forgotten by the end of the month

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

Must be a good track for the tweakers. Even Swann managed decent figures, didn't he?

 

[Howe_zat]

This is an England performance just like Mama used to make, I see.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

This lad Yadav reverses it a fair bit. Would be interesting to see how he goes. Could be time for some cheap, easy wickets.


EDIT: Thus spake the Oracle.

 

[Daemon]

Dhoni doing some charity here by letting Yadav improve his figures.

My captain is a **** in this regard, always brings himself on to bowl when we're on top to get some cheap tailender wickets

Plus some. 148 for 8 would embarass Bangladesh imo - we weren't usually this bad even in the SC. Time to find another past-time for the next few weeks.

 

[BeeGee]

That ball kept ridiculously low.

 

[Howe_zat]

One think this makes you wonder is, who's more affected by the conditions, India or England?

 

[Daemon]

It's just the first game. Reckon they'll do well in the tests at least if not the one dayers.

There aren't any tests.

The pitch is a bit dodgy, tbh. Makes Dhoni's knock look pretty good.

[nsniks]

India win by 127 runs. Second biggest win against England by India. MS Dhoni for MOTM

And we get our first win on this ground

 

[BeeGee]

Strange tour. 5 ODIs and 1 T20.

 

[Daemon]

Somewhat tempted to give it to Jadeja, got the two big wickets of Trott and Cook, though he did have the assistance of the pitch on his side. He also played a decent cameo at the end of the Indian innings.

Dhoni probably deserves it I guess, didn't watch his innings unfortunately.
