*Official* Match 11 - India v England

[Woodster]

Ya Morgan can play better than any other English batsmen....

In that particular role or moving the field around and finding the gaps. Very clever during those middle overs and excellent cricket brain.

Whatever India's over-rated hacks put up, England should comfortabl chase down. Bangladesh took 289 off them without trying ffs.

Slightly different in the Bangladesh game on the basis they had a huge total already on the board and knew they had no real way of losing, were always in complete control. The intensity with the ball and in the field wasn't there, just like England against Holland.

hmm..we recently defended 180 odd against SA....Our bowlers can be pretty decent when we have low targets..:P

fail
yeh bangladesh put up 289, you're about 2/3 of the team they are. do the math

[vicleggie]

Judging by your analysis on the English bowling attack, India will have to not turn up for England to have a chance of winning this, never mind have a poor day. Again it seems judgements are being made here on England's poor showing in the opening game, they will not necessarily carry that poor form over.

i just dont think they know how to bowl in these conditions. And anderson has looked poor for the last few odi's he has played. And also judging on that 5-0 drubbing we gave you recently when you were here. And your 6-1 loss to aus (recent form).

In terms of the score difference, it represents the difference between india's poor and good days. when india is focussed, tthey dont just post a good total, they go nuts. I think they'll be focussed in thsi match

Gonna agree with vicleggie's 1st post ITT.Batting 1st, Eng will stumble to a sub par score of 250-270. ind will chase that down. If ind bat 1st, I can see them scoring 330 plus.Eng to get bowled out for 260 odd.Eng just don't have any gamebreakers.

England to win by 80 runs if they bat first and 6 wickets if second. They have a fantastic, underrated ODI bowling attack IMO.

I am really looking forward to this one. England are a quality side, and it isn't going to be easy for India to beat them. The big question is, will India play two specialist spinners ? I think they should. There is no way Sreesanth's going to play after that horrendous match against Bangladesh. Nehra's apparently fit now, so it's going to be him or Chawla.

Genuine at this post. Sorry Teja.

But I can't tell if this post is in jest, or you're being serious. Ridiculous really to even think England stand a chance, this isn't test cricket.

India and England have met three times in Bangalore and it's the visitors who actually lead the head-to-head 2-1, although the wins did come back in 1985 and 1993.

I'd agree that Indian bowlers are hacks. Not sure though they're overrated. But calling their batting lineup overrated, particularly they put up a 375 run total against a not so hopeless bowling attack is a bit rich.

England to win it comfortably.. 5 wicktets for Broad

Hello.....I agree with this , Strauss and KP to put on a 150 plus opening stand against Indias average attack with Strauss tonning up.

Broad and Swann 7 wickets between them job done.
